All rpers have seen a bad rper before, right? We all have. For some of us, that's what turns us off from rping. Well, this blog is for those accounts in the Hetalia rping community. We're not for bashing; no, we're actually going to provide feedback to improve the accounts we post, unlike some of the other blogs here on Tumblr. Take a look at the FAQS below if you have questions, we may have answered it already.
What would your advice be to someone who wants to RP Romania and it's their first time RP in a long time?
You came to the right blog, because Ro is my baby.
Ro is a pretty sunny guy, and a bit of a trickster. Remember that dead-eyed stare and brisk monotone from that one part of the anime he appeared in, when he explained the Magic Club activities? Hima himself said that’s Ro’s personal troll face of sorts, so you know the guy loves to joke around. We’ve also seen in canon that he and Bulgaria are pretty close buds, and he’s affectionate towards Moldova. And don't forget he and Hungary have some pretty heavy animosity towards each other.
Whether he’s actually a vampire or not is up to you. Personally, I think it’s another prank and the fangs are fakes he uses to scare the gullible, but if you prefer him being a genuine vamp, more power to you.
Omfg I was looking over things here to get some tips but that belgium profile made me almost puke i cant even english they passed over WAR CRIMES germany did to belgian like... i dont remember whether it was wwi or wwii but when they cut people's hands so they couldnt use guns ???????? or shit like that ????? omg thats just what the hell
I like you. I like you very much.
Remember kids, 'I ship this REALLY HARD' (which that RPer very obviously did) is not a good reason to skate over history!
I got these within, like, five minutes of each other, so I'll just answer them both at once.
Ahem. Now, for regular Lithuania, I would say... Hm. Well, for one, he's not a total pushover crybaby. He had the guts to go find work at America's place for a while instead of suffering through a bad situation, and he was able to be on equal grounds with Poland in the Commonwealth. That said, he has a spine, but it's not made of iron. He is nervous around Russia, and understandably so. I don't think he stutters all that much, unless he's been startled, but if you do feel the need to make him stutter, particularly around Russia, don't go overboard and m-m-m-make h-him t-t-t-t-talk l-l-l-like th-th-this. One, it's inaccurate, two, it's annoying, and three, it's offensive to people who actually do stutter. That's three reasons not to type a stutter like that. AH-AH-AH!
That's really the main problem I see with Lithuanias. He's kind of hard to screw up. He's a pretty laid-back guy, for the most part.
Now, anon, as for your fem!Lithuania, I view her as being pretty similar to the male version: pretty amicable and down to earth, for the most part, with the obvious exception of when she's around Russia. Don't have her be a doormat, but not a brick wall, either.
I just want to offer something for Canada RPers: Canada is not a whiny crybaby. Hr may be a shy boy, but he kicked American ass in 1812, liberated Nazi Netherlands and held the line at Ypres, when chlorine gas was released. Please give him credit!
Very true, very true. Except the 1812 thing, that is lies and slander and not to be trusted. Libel, I tell you, LIBEL!

(P.S. I lied Canada did do very well for themselves in the War of 1812)
I just wanted to say something about the Atlantis OC? Look at the lost city of Pompeii, off the coast of Greece or one of its islands I believe. Atlantis was based off of that, and the volcano story was heartbreaking. Good OC potential
Hey anon with the Atlantis OC, this one's for you.
I have a Belarus on Facebook, and I worked really hard on her bio. I wanted to know what you think of it and if you think anything needs improvement? Thank you!
This is really long, so I slapped the rest under a cut.

Was any of this really necessary? It told us nothing about the character, and makes a long bio even longer. I recommend taking it out.
-SHORT COURSE IN BELARUSIAN HISTORY-
The country name, Belarus, literally means “White Russia.” Belarus has also been called Belorussia and Byelorussia, but only people who still wish for Belarus to unite with Russia still call the country by those names. The people who are proud of the independence of their country call the country Belarus.
The region that is now Belarus was first documented around 1,000 BCE. It was settled during the third century by Baltic tribes. The region actually did not become a part of Kieven’Rus until the ninth century. In the thirteenth century, the Mongols invaded the Russian principalities, but Belarus was able to evade it by being part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Belarus remained under the Grand Duchy from 1386 to 1795, when Belarus was taken over by the Russian Empire.
From the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Belarus was able to have a brief period of independence for their country under the German occupation of their country. The country was able to rename itself the People’s Republic of Belarus. However, this was short-lived, as the Polish-Soviet War ignited immediately afterwards, and Belarus was torn between Poland and Soviet Russia.
A part of Belarus under Russian rule emerged as the Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1919. Soon thereafter it merged to form the Lithuanian–Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. The contested lands were divided between Poland and the Soviet Union after the war ended in 1921, and the Belorussian SSR became a founding member of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1922. In the 1920s, agricultural reforms that culminated in the Belarusian phase of Soviet collectivization were set in motion. In the 1930s, the implementation of the Soviet five-year plans for the national economy led to rapid industrialization.
During World War II, the Belarusian people took control of the territories invaded by the Soviet Union on the 29th of October in 1939. Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. The Brest Fortress, which had been annexed in 1939, at this time was subjected to one of the most destructive onslaughts that happened during the war. Statistically, Belarus was the hardest-hit Soviet republic in World War II and remained in Nazi hands until 1944. During that time, Germany destroyed 209 out of 290 cities in the republic, 85 percent of the republic's industry, and more than one million buildings. Casualties were estimated to be between two and three million (about a quarter to one-third of the total population), while the Jewish population of Belarus was devastated during the Holocaust and never recovered. The population of Belarus did not regain its pre-war level until 1971.
On the 26th of April, 1986, the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine blew up, taking out parts of Ukraine and Belarus. The accident actually affected Belarus more than Ukraine, since the winds that day blew about 60 percent of the chemicals into Belarusian soil.
On March 1990, elections for seats in the Supreme Soviet of the Belorussian SSR took place. Though the pro-independence Belarusian Popular Front took only 10% of the seats, the populace was content with the selection of the delegates. Belarus declared itself sovereign on 27 July 1990 by issuing the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic, and on the 25th of August, 1991, Belarus declared independence from the Soviet Union.
Again, this didn't tell us anything about the character. Try relating the different events to what effect they had on Natalya. It's more interesting, and develops your character further.
-SHORT SYNOPSIS-
Natalya is the youngest of the Ukraine-Russia-Belarus sibling trio. She’s pretty and very tenacious according to her brother, but it wasn’t always a good thing in the past. She appears to be a young girl nearing her twenties, but in reality she is a nation that is over 1,000 years old. She used to live in a house all by herself in her capital of Minsk, but now she lives in Odessa, Ukraine, with her fiancé Dmitri and their twins, Chelsava and Alkey. Her past is something that she would rather forget, but it still haunts her and causes her much internal pain very often.
Okay, so now we're in the meat of it. So far, so good.
-PERSONALITY-
Although Belarus is known as the last dictatorship of Europe, the people of Belarus are quite friendly to any visitors they get in their country. Natty is no exception to this. Although she may come across as cold and unfeeling at first, once she warms up to you she can actually be quite charming, even sweet if you give her a reason to be. She wants the best for her country and her people, thus she will be quick to see if you will be of help to them. Once she warms up to you, she will be the most loyal friend, ready to defend you no matter what. But if you ever backstab her or do anything to lose her trust, she will be quickly to hate you and hold a grudge, and it may take years for you to get back in her good graces.
I like this so far. You don't really see many Nats who don't take the psycho aspect and run with it.
As stated before, Belarus is known as the last dictatorship of Europe. Natty hates this fact more than she can ever say. She absolutely hates her president, believing him to be an arrogant prick who has a stick up his ass. She will always claim that she represents her people, not her horrible government. She is always the first to start up any riots for freedom for her people. She is very proud of her people and her culture, and she always fights to keep her culture alive. Although she mostly speaks Russian, not Belarusian, she fights also to keep her native tongue alive.
Natalya loves knives. Not swords, knives. This often leads people to believe that she's violent and blood-thirsty. But in all actuality, she’s not. She’s seen many wars and blood-shed in her lifetime, and she is tired of it. Rather, she uses knives because they are the only weapon that she can utilize properly. She can’t use guns because she’s a terrible shot, and she can’t aim to save her life. The Baltics used to be almost-victims of this fact. She won’t use swords because she claims that they are old-fashions and outdated; in truth, she won’t use swords because she gets annoyed that some of them are longer than her arms. Thus, she uses knives to defend herself. She trained for many years on how to properly use a knife, and she’s not afraid to whip it out if she ever feels threatened. At any given time she will have at least two knives somewhere on her person, so don’t sneak up on her or you may find yourself with a knife at your throat.
Over the years, certain circumstances have forced Natalya to calm down and mature (see Headcannon section). She no longer spends her days chasing after Russia and trying to force him to marry her, or terrorizing the Balitics or other countries. Instead, she now spends her days trying to help her country and her people, and also trying to build friendships and make alliances with other countries. But she does still have a temper, so don’t make her mad. Don’t insult her country, don’t insult her friends, don’t insult her family, and especially don’t insult her height. As long as you don’t do any of that, she’ll be civil to you.
Natalya loves all forms of the arts. Paintings, sculptures, music, dance, theatre; she loves it all. She loves to watch movies, especially the older ones. She is especially partial to ballet, since she took ballet lessons when she was a young girl still living in Russia. Her favorite ballet is Swan Lake, and one of her secret dreams is to dance the part of Odette. She is also a huge supporter of the Olympics, especially gymnastics and ice-skating.
Natalya used to be a big part of the UN, and due to this she is more than willing to make new friends. In fact, she longs for it. She wants more friends to be able to hang out and chat with. She already has some good friends, like Vietnam and the US Virgin Islands, and she treasures then with everything in her. She also has some male friends, such as Prussia, America, Germany, North Italy, Spain, France, England, etc. As a friend, she is very outgoing and friendly, always smiling and even laughing. So won’t you come please be her friend?
I like you. This is very well-done. You've clearly put a lot of thought into your Nat and how she behaves, she's well-rounded, and isn't a sociopath to put Elizabeth Bathory to shame.
-APPEARANCE-
Natalya has long almost-white platinum hair that goes down to her mid-back in waves. She has big dark blue eyes that stick out on her pale, thin face. Though she is on the shorter side, she is not a weak person. She has lean muscles, mostly in her legs and her arms. She is thin, almost to the point of being unhealthy, and she has small, delicate feet and hands. From the Chernobyl accident, she has been suffering from radiation cancer. Multiple faded cancer bruises are on and around her wrists and ankles, and there are also bruises on her hips and her tailbone. She has some stretch marks on her belly and abdomen from when she was pregnant with her twins, though her stomach is flat once again. She has additional scars from many wars and battles all over her body, though most of them are faded.
Very nice. I like how you handled the cancer bit. They're not over-the-top, but nothing you wouldn't notice without looking for it, either. She sounds like she could feasibly pass for a human who has lived through ups and downs, and I applaud you for making it realistic.
-HEADCANNON-
In her life, everyone babied Natalya. No one ever really got onto her about stuff that she did. Yes, Russia was scared of her and didn’t like her chasing after him, but he was never forceful about telling her to go away. Everyone just let her get away with things and have her way. She was selfish and spoiled, and she never really thought about anyone other than herself.
Then, on the 26th of April in 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine exploded, wiping out parts of Ukraine and Belarus. When she saw the devastation of those parts of the country and the despair it caused her people, something in Natalya’s brain clicked and she realized that she had to start caring about her country and her people more. This forced her to grow up and mature in a short amount of time. She began living in her house more, and she still tries to help her country cope from the effects of the accident to this day. She spent the next twenty years regularly visiting the places that were wiped out by the explosion to see if there was any way to make the land fertile again. She blames herself for the accident, saying that if she had paid more attention to her country and other countries she might have been able to prevent the accident.
In 1991, when Belarus declared independence from Russia, Natalya decided to give up on the idea of marrying Ivan. She knew that she would always be in love with him, but she thought that it would be best for both of them if she stayed out of his life. She left Ivan’s house, sad and lonely, with very little friends. Alfred saw this and took pity on her, and he invited her to come live at his house. She agreed, thinking that it was a chance to make more friends. …This only lasted for about six months, because Alfred annoyed the crud out of her and kept trying to hit on her. She left his house while they were still on good terms and moved back to her own house.
A few years after Chernobyl, Natalya began to notice that something was…different about her body, but she couldn’t place what. She decided to ignore it. Then, she began to notice random bruises appearing on her body, mostly around and on her wrists. She began to wear longer sleeves to try to cover them up. The bruises worried her, but she was still concerned with getting her country back to tip-top shape. From that point, her health slowly started to deteriorate. Her face became more thin and pale, and her eyes appeared to be sunken in a bit. She noticed that she got tired more easily, and that her strength wasn’t what it used to be. She became worried, seeing as it made her feel weak. Finally, in 2010, she went to see different doctors in her country. They all told her the same thing: the radiation from Chernobyl was finally affecting her body and she had cancer. This shocked her, and for a long while she refused to believe it. The next year, during the summer, she kept passing out from her body’s weakness, and she finally realized that she needed help. She went to Matthew (Canada) to see if he could help her, since she had heard that his country had one of the best medical care plans in the world. He helped her out, and she now had pills she has to take for the cancer, since she refused to have chemo because she didn’t want to lose her hair. After all of this, Natalya realized that she had to tell her brother and sister what was going on.
One moment, I have something in my eye. *wipes eye*
Oh, it was this beautiful character development. Carry on.
-GENERAL HEADCANONS-
Since Natalya is a nation, she, like all the other nations, is immortal. However, she can be damaged like a human, but if so much damage is done to her body, she can experience “death.” This means that Natty will appear to die (heart stops, breathing ceases, all that jazz) and she will remain like that for a few minutes. After that time has elapsed, her body will reconstruct and regenerate from the wound that killed her, but will leave her with all her other non-fatal wounds. Those she will have to recover from on her own. This makes dying a non-permanent, but painful and inconvenient thing. (Taken from Irina Chernenko.)
Hm. That's cool. I like that headcanon. Very nice.
Thank you for putting it in a note and not making this even longer. Good plan.
-RELATIONS-
(Compatibility will be between 1 and 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest)
~Ivan Braginsky (Russia): Natalya loves you very much, big braht! She used to chase after you to try to make you marry her, but those days are over now. She only visited you about three times from 1991 to 2012, because she believed that you hated her and did not want her around. But now she tries to visit you as often as she can, wanting you two to be close again. But she is still in love with you…and despite what you may think, her love is real and true. Her love for you is akin to the love that Eponine has for Marius in Les Miserables, pure and strong with no expectations for you to return it though that hope will always be in her heart. Nowadays, that love has simmered down to be more of a sibling love than anything. After all, she was once engaged to an Ivan, and it ended badly…so she’ll probably be cautious around you. But you if ever even imply that you may love her the way she once loved you, it will affect her more than she can ever say…
Compatibility: 8
~Ivan SunflowerDream Braginski (Natty’s Ivan): Natalya loves you more than she can ever say. You mean so much to her, and she would do anything for you. ANYTHING. And she is still in love with you, though you already know that…and you told her that you have romantic feelings for her, which makes her happier than you could ever know. She knows that you two can never be together, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting to be as close to you as possible. But she is able to overcome her feelings to help you. After all, she was the one who pushed you to get together with Fausta…
Compatibility: 10
~Irina ThelightinMe Chernenko (Natty’s Ukraine): Natty ADORES you, big sestra. You are everything that she wishes she could be: beautiful, kind, and loved by everyone around you. At least, that’s how she sees you. In a way, she has put you up on a pedestal above everyone else that she knows. But that’s not all…Natty also harbors some romantic feelings for you, and it confuses her to no end. She is completely straight, mind you, but…there is just something about you that attracts her to no end. But she will never tell you of these feelings, since she fears chasing you way like how she almost chased Ivan away. However, you are still very important to her and she would do anything for you. ANYTHING. She blames herself for the Chernobyl accident, and wishes that she was able to help you more after it happened. She would do anything for you, and she hopes that you will forgive her for being so mean to you in the past…
Compatibility: 10
~Yekaterina Braginsky (KatwithKlaws) (Natty's 2P!Ukraine): Although the fact that you are a 2P! both confuses and scares Natty, you are incredibly important to her. You have helped her out through so many of the hardships in her life, and you always there when she needs someone to be firm with her. She appreciates the fact that you are emotionally stronger than her, as that is what she needs in her life. She will never hesitate to come to you for anything in her life. Never.
Compatibility: 10
~Irina/Iryuna/Iryna/Yekaterina/Yaketerina/Katyusha/Katya/Yelysaveta Braginskaya/Chernenko (other Ukraines): You are Natty’s dearest big sestra, and she loves you very much. She sees you as everything that she is not, and she always strives to be just like you. She will also defend you from any harm, and readily attack anyone that hurts you. Though she does find it annoying when you start to cry…but she can forgive it. She blames herself for the Chernobyl accident, and wishes that she was able to help you more after it happened. She would do anything for you, and she hopes that you will forgive her for being so mean to you in the past…
Compatibility: 8
~Dmitri Yourlastfirstkiss Chernenko (Natty’s Male!Ukraine): Natty loves you more than she could ever even try to put into words. You are her one and only, her knight in shining armor, her true love. You are the one who helped her to truly heal after she had to leave Ivan, and you are the one who finally convinced her that it wasn’t her fault. She didn’t know that you were her brother at first; hell, she didn’t even know that you were a country at first! But once she learned who you really were, it made no difference. She still loved you, and she always will. You two are engaged now, and you have beautiful twins, a boy and a girl, Alkey and Cheslava. She is happier than she has ever been in her life with you, and she can’t wait until you two get married so that she can call you her beloved husband.
Compatibility: 10
~Dmitri Chernenko/Braginsky (other Male!Ukraines): Natty loves you very much, big braht! She looks up to you, loving how sweet and kind you are to everyone around her. She finds it a little weird when you cry, because you are a grown man after all, but she is able to forgive it. She’s missed you so much…but of course she won’t admit this. As stated before, she blames herself for the Chernobyl accident, and wishes that she was able to help you more after it happened. She would do anything for you, and she hopes that you can forgive her for being mean to you in the past… But that’s not all. Natalya is actually in love with you, too. But she doesn’t know it, or at least she won’t acknowledge it because she’s still pretty hung up over Ivan. But she loves you much more than she realizes…
Compatibility: 7
Toris Laurinaitis (Lithuania): Believe it or not, you two used to be married while she was in your care during the Commonwealth. At that time, her sister Irina and your best friend Feliks were also married, and the four of you had lots of fun together. You were Natalya’s first kiss…and her first time in bed, as well… But she was devastated when she had to leave you, and it broke her heart into millions of pieces. Truth be told, she never really got over you. But she will never tell you that, oh no. She only acted mean to you because she didn’t know how to deal with the feelings that you made rise up in her. But nowadays, she’s doing everything that she can to try to mend and renew your friendship. After all, you were her best friend…
Compatibility: 9
~ Feliks Łukasiewicz (Poland): You and Natty tend to clash and butt heads. A lot. She doesn’t like the things your government says about her country, and you don’t like how her government treats her people. But overall, you two are pretty good friends. After all, she was once under your rule, and she fought for you against her brother once upon a time. You also used to be her sister’s husband, so she does her best to get along with you for her sake. Sometimes she will mean things about you and call you gay, but she never really means it. Truth be told, she actually has a crush on you…but she’ll never tell you that…
Compatibility: 7
~Alfred F. Jones (America): Natty…doesn’t really know how to feel about you. On the one hand, you did help her out when she first declared independence from her brother. But on the other hand, she finds you to be loud and obnoxious, and sometimes she just wants to hit you over the head and tell you to shut up. She also does not like the things that your government says about her country, and she tends to get really upset when you mention it to her. But, overall, she likes you well enough and does not mind being friends with you. After all, your country is one of the powerhouses of the world. And she also may have a tiny crush on you…just a tiny one…
Compatibility: 6
~Artem Nikolai Markevich (My Minsk OC): Natty cares deeply for you. Very deeply. After all, you and she were married many a time in history, and you have always been there for her and had her back, and for that she will be forever grateful. In being married, yes, you did consummate the relationship, and you were a very sweet and gentle lover to her. Nowadays, she no longer holds any romantic feelings for you, although you are still very important to her. She’s worried about you right now, since she heard that you lost your memory…but she’s sure that you will recover it soon… She hopes…
Compatibility: 10
Kiku Nekolover Honda (Natty’s Kiku): Oh, what a history there is between you two. After the Romanov family died in 1918, Natty was devastated and cried all the time. One of these times was after a world meeting, and you were the only one who thought to come over to check on her. She cried and you held her as she explained why she was so sad. After that, you two became the closest of friends…and not long after, you two became lovers. For 22 years, she stayed at your side and you stayed at hers. You kept the relationship a secret because you both feared how her brother and your father would react. It was a beautiful relationship, full of nothing but love and happiness. But all that changed when you left to join the axis…Natty had to leave you, because she feared what the Allies would do to her when they found out that she was a lover to an Axis power. So she went chasing after her brother again to try to fill the void in her heart…but it never did work. Nowadays, you two are still very close and she considers you to be her best friend. Not to mention that you are married to her clone.
Compatibility: 10
Natalya GuardianAngel Arlovskaya-Honda (Natalya’s Clone and my other Belarus): You are very important to Natty, yes ma’am. You are her clone—literally. When she went to the doctors in her country in 2010, they took some of her DNA and they made you from it. Of course, there are always catches with clones, and yours were the wings that can sprout from tattoos on your back. You are also a vessel for an Angel from Heaven…which still shocks Natty to no end. But she is very protective of you. You call her your mother, after all.

Ludwig CapslockFührer Beilschmidt (Natty’s Ludwig): You are a very close friend of Natty’s, and you are actually part of the reason she has come out of her shell. She trusts you with her secrets because she knows that you will never tell them. You are both very awkward people when it comes to physical contact, so it’s actually hilarious when either of you feel the need to hug the other. But, overall, she considers you to be one of her best friends.
Compatibility: 9
Ludwig Beilschmidt (other Germanys): Natty…doesn’t really know how to feel about you. On the one hand, you did help her get temporary independence back in 1918. But, on the other hand, you did destroy so many of her cities and killed many of her people back during World War II, and it took her years and years to get that population back. She will probably be very cautious of you, and she won’t hesitate to pull out a knife if she thinks that you are threatening her. Just remember, she DOES NOT trust you. At least, not yet.
Compatibility: 4
Feliciano LonelyBoy Vargas (Natty’s Feli): You are pretty much Natty’s gay best friend! She loves you very much and wants to help you to become happy again. You both recently showed each other the scars that you both have, and you both realized that you have quite a lot in common. She will protect you with her life, and tear down anyone who tries to hurt you.
Compatibility: 10
Gilbert Beilschmidt (Prussia): You and Natty are actually friends. You see, after WWII, the Soviet Union had control over your portion of the country. She remembers seeing you getting beaten up and made fun of, and it made her really mad because she hates unfairness. On occasion, she would sneak into your chambers to give you food and water. Not helping you out in other ways is one of her biggest regrets in life…along with never telling you about her crush on you…

I don't have anything to say about this. It's beautiful. You've put a lot of thought into your character, and I love it.

-TYPES OF RPS I WILL DO-
~Romance/Fluff (MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE)
~Family
~Fantasy
~Pregnancy
~Historical (I’ll do my best with it)
~Platonic
~Tragedy
~Action
~Drama
~Kinks (Depends on the kink)
~AU
~Hate
~Fairytales
~Horror
~War
~Smut (Please see smut rules)
-CHANGE LIST-
Here is what I’m willing to change Natty into for a RP:
~Human!Natty
~Gakuen!Natty
~Child!Natty
~Mini!Natty (Normal Natty, just shrunken down. Think of “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”)
~Seductress!Natty
I’m willing to change her into other things. Just ask.
.:Smut Rules:.
For RPs that may include smut, these are my rules:
-If Natty is in a relationship, any smut must be in PM and AU. Natty does not cheat on her significant others. EVER.
-I will not do PWP. It’s boring and it makes me feel like a whore. Natty is not a whore (unless the RP includes prostitution or something, but even then there are things that need to be talked about). She was not made to be a character meant for smut RPs. Don’t treat her like she is.
-Any smut must have a plot that was RPed before the smut came into play. Also, all smut must be out of LOVE, not LUST. Natty is not that type of girl.
-There will be absolutely NO PUBLIC SMUT. EVER. If you post it on my wall, I will delete it and then delete you. I will RP smut in photo comments, but the photos MUST BE IN A PRIVATE ALBUM. I WILL NOT do photo comment smut any other way.
-Just talk to me about any smut plans you have for the RP. Please don’t just randomly throw it in there. I’ll get confused or freaked out, and you don’t want to deal with that.
In the way of smut, I will NOT do these:
~Futa
~Scat
~Waterworks
~Goldenshower
~Vore
~Hardcore S&M (Light S&M may be okay.)
~Hardcore Bondage (Light bondage is okay.)
~Pedo (No kids! Ever!)
~Rape (This may not be used in smut. If Natty EVER gets raped, it will only be in Hate/War/Horror RPs as a foil, and will never be explicit. Rape is ALWAYS A BAD THING and should NEVER be romanticized.)
I'm just sort of sitting here with a big dopey grin on my face. This is such a nice bio. You don't kink-shame, you have rules about when and where certain things are okay, and the side note on rape is very lovely on its own.
-WRITING SYLE AND HABITS-
I tend to use the same phrases or wording over and over in a RP. This is just how I like to do things, to put emphasis on things and such. That, and I like to make everything sound flowy. ^^;
I like to use faces and stickers in OOC chat. And, on that note, I will ((these)) for OOC talk. I request that you use some form of brackets when you talk to me OOC so that I know it’s OOC. I make exceptions for certain people (sempai~).
Depending on the medium I will do either narrative style (ex. Natalya looked over her shoulder before hurrying across the room.), real-time style (*looks over shoulder before hurrying across the room*), or script style (Natty: Why am I hurrying across the room so sneakily?). Usually though my style will match yours so no worries.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE LITERATE. I INSIST ON LITERACY. If you are not literate, I cannot guarantee that we will ever be able to RP. I just—I just can’t. This rule is a must. I need it.
-LAST NOTE-
I am still reading up on Belarusian history and culture/customs, all that jazz. So if I’ve gotten anything wrong or left anything out, pretty please let me know. I will greatly appreciate any constructive criticism that I can get. ^^
If you have read all the way to this, please post, “Children of Chernobyl” on my wall.
-ABOUT THE ADMIN-
Hey, there! You all can call me Sally. I’ve been role-playing for about six years now, and I have been in the Hetalia fandom for over a year now. I have many accounts, and I apologize if you ever get confused because of it. ^^;
Natty here was my very first muse for Hetalia. Why did I pick her? Well, I have a personal connection with the country of Belarus. Her name is Yana. She’s a girl that me and my family used to host during the summer through a program called Children of Chernobyl. The program took kids from Belarus (and Ukraine, I think) and brought them over to America during the summer so that the radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear explosion wouldn’t affect them, because the radiation is even worse in the heat of the summer.
I don't think this last paragraph was all that necessary, but it's still nice to know, and the information about the program is pretty cool.
Now, to tell you a few things about me:
-I am not a passive-aggressive person. I will tell you to your face if I don’t like something, and I won’t feel bad if you get butthurt about it. Sorry not sorry. I also tend to post stuff like that on my wall, too. Again, sorry not sorry if you get butthurt over it. But if you have a reasonable argument over something, please feeling free to engage me. I LOVE a good, innovating argument.
- I will warn you right now, I am a mommy person. What does that mean? It means that I will want to mother you, ie hug and nuzzle and snuggle you and try to help you out with problems and such. I call everyone dear, not because I have a crush on you or anything but because I am trying to be nice and sweet to you. I can't help it, it's just how I am. ^^
-I am generally able to be on at some point every day. I am taking a year off from college this year for personal reasons, and I’m currently looking for a job.
- I WILL NOT BE FRIENDS WITH YOU IF YOU DISCRIMINATE AGAINST FEMS/OCs/NYOTALIA. I CAN’T STAND PEOPLE WHO DISCRIMANTE AND ALIENIATE THEM JUST FOR THE SAKE OF YAOI.
- Also, as a just in case, I want to remind you guys out there that if your character gets into a relationship with my character, then THEY are the ones in a relationship, NOT US ADMINS. I have an IRL boyfriend who is gracious enough to let me RP and let me have other relationships as MY CHARACTER, not me myself.
Thank you very much for reading this, and I hope that we become super awesome best friends! ^^
Sweetie, you didn't need this review. Except for a few cosmetic issues at the beginning and end, it's already perfect.
I don't know whether or not you'd be open to changing the name, but according to Behind the Name, the name Theresa didn't spread beyond Spain and Portugal until the 16th century, long after Alemanni was conquered by the Franks, and in that time, patronymics were the dominant custom for surnames- for example, the son of John would be Johnson.
Now, being as she's a nation, I can understand if she changed her human name over time to fit with current naming customs and fit in better.
43 Physically, 1800 in actuality. (Life Span: 2155)
Female.
236 pounds.
5 foot 3 inches.
You might want to rethink her weight. Judging by the picture, she's fairly muscular; I know muscle weighs more than fat, but not that much. I'm 5'3", I'm fairly average-sized, and I weigh in at roughly 110 pounds. I recommend taking a look at this- it not only has a calculator for ideal weight based on height, but also provides a handy chart for fluctuations based on frame.
Human; Dead Country-- Alemanni.
I don't think it's possible to be both. Pick one, or go into more detail. Is she the human reincarnation of a dead country?
Oh, and only foreigners called them Alemanni. They called themselves Suebi. Food for thought.
Champagne Blonde.
Eyes are indigo, mostly violet.
Go with dark blue. Violet eyes are impossible except by color contacts or a trick of the light.
She's very strict and motherly, in a matriarchal sense. Very adoptive. Literally babies anything that lets her. Theresa is also very, very powerful-- Under that chub, she's got a shitton of muscle. She's not very.. Agile though, so she has to take the brunt of every hit she takes.
Okay, good idea with the weakness. I like it. And it's a nice change from all the ultra-fast but weak characters that litter both published and fan-made media.
Theresa's outfit is sort of similar to the way Italy's looks, with a black dress shirt underneath. She rolls up her sleeves in warmer temperatures, and keeps them down in colder. Her boots are steel-toed, just in case it comes to where she actually has to kick someone straight up the block. Casually, however, she wears a white tank top with black sweats.
If she's a dead nation, wouldn't it make more sense for her to wear armor or something else similar to what the Alemanni people wore? Rome wears the classic Roman armor that screams badass (even if he himself is a giant dork), and Germania is a non-elf Legolas. Wouldn't Alemanni be the same?
Theresa normally carries around a pocketknife with her at all times, occasionally swapping it for her trusty pistol.
She was technically birthed in what is now present-day Rombach-Le-Franc, Alsace. Theresa's hopped from city to city, over the borders and back, even hiding in Italy a few times. She currently resides in her hometown.
How are you 'technically' born somewhere? Like this? "Oh, yeah, she was born here, but I know some paper dead guys who say otherwise."
Born into a role of leadership, Theresa was always a very family-oriented girl. She stuck close to her father, never strayed from family tradition, and even went so far as to catch her father's breakfast to please him. She was very innocent, kind, and loving. Eventually, she came to meet a boy named Adalric-- A dark blonde, tan little boy, who represented those who are known as the Frankish Empire. They clicked, and she considered him one of her best friends. He, however, fell in love with the girl, and expressed it thus by giving her gifts of flowers, love letters, and the adorable gesture of holding hands. They grew even closer, and she found herself married to him within a matter of years. She became pregnant, and gave birth to her first child, Gilbert-- Who was destined to become the Kingdom of Prussia. She took care of the household as Adalric gained the food, and all was well. However, she was left to fend for herself after the wars between herself and Rome became tough.
When did Rome get here? Hi, Rome!
I think you should mention the wars a bit earlier, so the reader knows that there are wars going on before you drop it on them that the wars were getting tough.
Adalric turned his back on her, and left her to die, along with her son, without realizing her pregnancy with who would later become the great republic of Germany. Things went from bad to worse, and they got into a large confrontation, resulting in her near-death. Rome, however angry he may have been, took pity on the young girl, and scooped her up to shelter her until she got back up on her feet. However, it would never happen. Theresa's country was completely dissolved into the Frankish empire, and she hid out in Rome until she could find some way of living. As a result, her country title, in 1268, was revoked and she was given the treatment of the lifespan lengthening. (Theory.) Her dissolve gave birth to what would later become Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, who she considers her own children.
The rest of that seems pretty on the level. You might want to go into more depth about that theory, though, and maybe break up the whole history section into more paragraphs to make it easier to read.
Theresa will take no sass from her children, and will assert her dominance forward. However, she is kind, considerate, and even loving if one gets close enough. Although, considering her prominent instincts, it doesn't take much.
Her strengths, both mentally and physically, include: Fighting, examination, and interpretation. However, weaknesses include agility, stamina, and bipolar disorder-- if you consider that a weakness.
Hold up.
It would have been nice to actually see evidence that she has bipolar symptoms. I have an episodic mood disorder, and it's not just something that pops up when it's convenient; it's always there, and I fight it every day. You need to do some serious research on bipolar, and incorporate it into the rest of the profile, or just don't have it at all.
Family includes Germania being her father, Rome being her 'adoptive' father, Sweden and Austria being her brothers-- While children include, from oldest to youngest, Prussia, Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. She has also adopted a certain Heracles, and one Kemal (TRNC, belonging to a friend.)
Theresa is currently single, divorced, although the many love interests
[[ Hi-- I just wanted to see what you would think of my bio, and give me a few tips if you see something wrong! Thank you very much! ]]
Well, you have a great start thus far. It just needs a few revisions here and there where I pointed it out, and you're golden.
Hi, this is the person with the Atlantis OC. If you got that, could you just disregard it? I've been changing her profile since I sent it in, and there are some things in there that are kind of embarrassing.
You're just in time, I was just about to start reviewing it. Will do!
I was wondering if you have any tips for rping fem!America??? UwU P.S.- Your blog is very helpful!
I don't have much experience with this character, but I know that canon shows she's the type to solve problems through violence. I suggest going with a personality similar to Alfred's, with obvious tweaks here and there. Remember that the Nyotalia and regular versions are similar but still their own characters, and you should be fine.
Oh, and whether her boobs are real or not is totally your call.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance here. Good luck!
Hi! I usually like reading more Hetalia stories than anything, but occasionally I browse the Hetalia roleplay world. And sometimes I don't want to go back. People just base their stories and rps from the show, and theirs a whole comic that they could get some fresh ideas. I like the angst side of Hetalia, especially eating disorder!America, but people take them too far. What are some examples you have seen where people take things to far in either stories or roleplays? Like the blog by the way!!
I personally can’t think of anything beyond this one time on my Norway account where some Denmark ended up raping him because their mun wanted smut even though my Nor kept saying that he didn’t want to have sex with him, he was in a relationship, stop it. It was really early into my RP career, so I didn’t think to just drop it and go do something else. I was, like, a high school freshman, I had no idea.
Any followers with some stories about things going too far?
Hello there. I'm thinking about trying to role-play Spain for once, do you have any pointers? I'm rather nervous and need some. Thank you in advance!..
Okay, let's see here. Spain isn't one of the main eight, but still a major character, so you'll have to be a bit more careful than you would with a minor character like one of the Nordics or Mediterraneans. So, here are some basics:
He's a bit absent-minded, yes, but not a total fucking moron, no matter what Lovi would have you believe.
He's not all tomatoes all the time. Just don't.
'Fusosososo~' is not his laugh. It's a cheer-up charm.
He's a pretty cheerful guy. He was thrown into war and poverty, and he still managed to be optimistic.
He seems to be good with kids, or at least the Italy brothers.
If he drinks wine, he gets sentimental, but he's a scary-ass drunk. As in, Sweden changes his facial expression when he sees Spain drunk.
Half of those I found on the archive, so you can look there for a little more help if you need it. Other than that, that should be some pretty decent guidelines.
I just want to put this here. This made me cringe so much. -- "Lily Braginski's mother was one of the origanal Tribes in Scotland but got kicked out for being conviced as a witch. She moved to Canada and helped set aside land that became Northwest Teritories, Canada before her daughter was born. Lily was born then and was given this land. Lily was adopted by 2p! Russia when she was three, her mother had died when she was two." This is a bio for a Territory OC I stumbled upon in Facebook. Help?
I'm in this chatroom, and there is this Norway who is slightly pervy. Why? It's because he wanted boobs to fondle with, so he changed his gender with magic. It annoyed me and a Romano.
... What.
For the sake of both you and that Romano, I really hope that's true.
'Scuse me, ((perhaps this has been answered before and I'm extremely sorry if it has)) but do you have any tips on roleplaying Turkey~?
Don't worry pal, it hasn't! Now, Turkey, hm, Turkey... avoid Thanksgiving RPs with Americas I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that was stupid, I'm sorry.
For Turkey, I'd recommend being laid-back and friendly, but a little grumpiness here and there is probably okay- he is pretty old in canon, and I see him as being Not a Morning Person™ anyway. Remember that he has a definite rivalry/dislike/something along those lines with Greece! That's important! Being all lovey-dovey and OOC in the name of a ship is not good.
Other than that, since Turkey is a minor character, I think you have a little leeway in your portrayal. Have fun, hope that helped!
