Character: Greece (Heracles Karpusi)
Series: Axis Powers Hetalia
Character Age: appears 27, actually over 500
Job: Naptime Coordinator
Canon: Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a country could talk? Axis Powers Hetalia answers that question, by personifying the nations of the world, and showing history through their eyes. Each nation has their own personality based around the shifting culture, economy, and political climate of their country. The story follows their shenanigans through the ages, focusing mostly on wars and majors events, with the main storyline focusing particularly on World War II.
Greece is the crazy old cat lady person of the series. He almost always has at least one cat nearby, if not a whole herd, and he's just about as offbeat as they come. He enjoys philosophy, history, religion, and long naps on the beach... or just about anywhere else, whether it's in a hole he dug in his mother's ruins, in the middle of a meeting, or even a real bed from time to time. He's not even that picky about when and where he sleeps, and can conk out even in the midst of waxing poetic about any of his favorite topics. Despite being soft-spoken and a habitual abuser of ellipses, he can be rather direct. It's as if he lost his brain-to-mouth filter somewhere along the way, considering some of the bizarre and off-color things he comes out with. Violence doesn't disturb him much, nor does sexuality- in fact, he's quite comfortable with his. Despite his lackadaisical nature, off-color commentary, and propensity to seem like he's off in his own little world, what he does know, he knows well. He can be assertive and tenacious when he wants to, whether he's trying to keep France from unclothing Turkey, or just learning Japan's language.
Sample Post:
Is this really the right place? I got lost trying to find it, but the sign says "Camp Fuck U Die". I think it must be though... that is, while I was trying to find my way here, I met a man on the side of the road, looking for a ride. I would need one too, I think, if my legs fell off just like that. He kept mentioning something about "brains", but... it looked like he needed those legs and a few fingers more than he needed a brain, but it seemed like he was looking for this place too, so I thought it might be nice if we looked together. And even though it was Plutarch that said that fate leads him who follows it, and drags him who resist, this guy didn't really seem to resist being dragged. So maybe it's not his fate to be here? Ah... but it must be mine. No matter how far I walk, I keep ending up back here. Mm, I think that means something.
Since I was invited here anyway, I think I can stay a little while, even if I can't stay for very long... it has been a while since I visited America. Even if this is supposed to be summer camp, I guess this isn't really a vacation, though, since The Director was nice enough to give me a job while I'm here. But I'm not sure what it means. "Naptime Coordinator"... do the campers here really need help with something like naptime? I think something like that should be easy, but she wouldn't hire me for it if it wasn't necessary, right? I think it's important, then, since it is a good idea to make sure you're getting enough sleep. Sleeping through the night is best, but taking a rest during the day is nice too.
If you're really having trouble, you can try counting sheep, if you want. I hear that helps. Although, maybe in this case... cows would be better. There certainly are a lot of them. If you want to make it interesting, you could just count the black and white ones. Or the brown ones. Or the metal ones. Mm, but the metal ones... they don't seem friendly. They might not like it so much if you count them, and if they tried to impale you, it would be pretty painful, or at least a little bloody, I think, so I would just use the other ones.
You don't really need to wait until you get back to your cabin if you're tired, either. It looks like you have a kraken in your silo, so that might not be the best place to rest, although it seems friendly... and sleeping with a friend is always okay. Otherwise, you can find somewhere else. With all these fields, it shouldn't be hard. And it's nice and cool if you dig underground a little, especially since it's going to be summer soon. You should pick up your arms, first, and then you can pick up a shovel. I'll show you how, it's not that hard...
- oh, no, you can't sleep here, though. What I mean is, this hole was made for me. I dug it myself, after all... Would you like one too?
