[ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]Name: Yao Wong. (The People’s Republic of China)
Age: Over 4,000 - looks 30.
Gender: Male.
Fandom: Axis Powers Hetalia.
Timeline: 1960.
Character Personality: Perhaps proper for his old age, China can be a rather shrewd person. Judgmental, suspicious (he distrusts Russia from the very get-go, even if they share a common principle by the way of Karl Marx and bosses) and all-to-happy to stick to the ‘old way of doing things,’ he’s an opportunist to the core, taking things at the start and not sticking around for what comes later - really, he’s the sort to mix up a wonderful dish of food in your own home and then charge you for it. Being blunt and to-the-point, the nation never ‘skirts around the bush,’ and isn’t afraid of getting pushy or loud if things aren’t going his way-not that he can actually break out of whatever’s making him angry. You see, China has an awful habit of getting stuck with the grunt work of things, even though he has a magnitude of pride on his shoulders: this pride apparently doesn’t hold him back from complaining about overworking, but it does stop him from saying ‘no’ to the people who force him to do things. It can be a bit of a problem, since China is honestly a lazy soul-- he’d be a true introvert if it wasn’t for his big brother complex, a deep-seated fancy with the idea of being able to take care of everyone (and teach everyone his way of doing things), of being the admiration and ‘drinking pal’ of every neighbor in the world -- and though he’ll try to be that helpful country that everyone wants to be around, his brash, demanding side hardly lets that happen.
It’s a horrid predicament, really. If he’s not being direct, he’s being too spacey. Prone to musing on old myths and times that everyone else has forgotten, muttering to himself about current events or phobias or ideas or the weather, he’s liable to sink into denial at any time - he’s bad at stopping to verify the truths of some of the things he believes (which is shown by the fact he’s still superstitious even in modern times), and often latches onto things without a second thought, shown by his way of adoring anything that resembles a cute thing, like ‘Hello Kitty,’ even if the inside or outside of it is utterly wrong. Call it delusion, call it wishful thinking to the extreme- reality wasn’t a place China wants to belong in.
If things went wrong, he turns to distraction, to avoidance of the issue. Plenty of problems have happened in his past - but all the same, he’s resilient, confident in his ability to keep himself himself, of being able to move through problems (he’s seen so many, what is one more?), in staying basically the same throughout all troubles.
And he’s succeeded so far.
Character Abilities: There’s nothing fancy or flashy about him. As far as being the very representation of China goes, the only ‘power’ he got seems to be that he tends to be a lot harder to kill than the average person-as in, put a sword through his stomach, and he’ll take longer to bleed out. Nifty, eh? Sure, he knows an impressive amount of martial arts, and he’s pretty swift when armed with a frying pan (able to dish out meals and whacks to the head in a blink of an eye-he was the envy of all the nations, truly) but actually catching him fighting is a difficult thing to do. He’s a master chef, able to work with almost anything--and speaking of work, that’s something he can do a lot of, too. Endurance, the ability to outlast almost anyone else-it’s a good skill to have, if you asked him, especially since he’s seen as constantly doing favors (building and such) for others. Some might also consider his ability to binge eat and not gain any weight a superpower, but it isn’t exactly a helpful one.
Although not actually magical, China’s adept in fixing injuries and binding up any number of wounds with the good old fashioned needles-and-bandages. Just don’t ask him what he puts into his medicines, or watch as he sticks a needle into your muscles, and he’s a grade-A, portable medic.
Character Weaknesses: The problem is, he may be a bit too portable. Yao Wong borders on scrawny, and though he can be quick (when he’s not being indecisive), the actual brute force behind any of his punches is low. Then there’s the fact that he doesn’t like to be tangled into anything that could compromise him-his steel trap of a memory is a disadvantage here, since he can hang onto grudges like no one else, and his own pride is a very, very big thing to take into consideration. As far as synching goes-well. He’s most likely to be one of the pickiest, panicky Weapons around.
… Mainly because he’s so blasted superstitious. The very idea of consuming souls goes against all of his ideals, as well as the idea of ‘bonding’ with another person. Just think of the imbalance in karma!
If there’s ever a need for going undercover, he could be a liability, since if he isn’t thinking about it, an “aru” tends to accidentally slip out at the end of his sentences. It’s rather identifiable.
[ WEAPON SECTION ]Why your character should be a Weapon: Although he may be quick and sure-footed, his Big Brother complex means that he’s (mostly) willing to work himself into the ground at the slightest request, even if he might complain about it later on. The idea of directing someone else is beyond him - he’s used to either doing things himself or not at all, and without an inclination to get involved in other people’s affairs, he would barely do anything else.
Besides. He’s always gone with what his people wanted- and after four millenniums of going with the flow, going against it suddenly might be a bit of a problem.
What is your character's Weapon form?: Black-shafted and steel-tipped, China will turn into the handy dandy qiang!
… What is that? A flexible, large spear with a bright red tassel on the end - meant purely to be waved about and distract enemies - it’s surprisingly light, if a bit strange to work with-so maybe it isn’t so handy-dandy. But if concentration and effort is put forth by China, that bright red tassel (also useful for keeping the blood in one place!) can grow, become near sentiment. Become something better than just a distraction. A thousand little strands all working for one person-the “King of weapons”--what better sums up how China is? … Alright, so he never had a king. For truly handy-dandy purposes, his hand may turn into the simple sharp-end of his Weapon form, but that's it.
[ SOUL INFORMATION ]
Soul Description: Protective, blunt, adaptable, proud, reluctant, helpful.
