putitherepleaseContact Info: Please give us at least one other means of contacting you.
Other Characters: You may remove this section if this will be your first character in game.
IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Western order, por favor.
Age: In years, if possible.
Canon: Links to you canon's Wikipedia entry or it's own wiki or at least something to tell us what he hot haps are.
Canon Point: Exact page numbers and panels aren't necessary, but being specific is good.
Species: Note that any species other than human will become human. Animals, aliens, even human like beings. You're going to become homo sapiens like the rest of us.
Gender: Both physical and mental.
Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. Here at Holly Heights, we don't discriminate against anyone's orientations. That being said, if your character is gay, we aren't going to make them take a wife when housing plans are given. Gay marriage is completely legal. Please give us a short and simple reason you think they are gay/straight/bi/etc if they don't have an explicitly state sexuality. Please keep it short, though. We do know it's tempting to tl;dr about things like this. Long story short, the real question is Would your character be more comfortable with a wife, husband, or either?, so that we know what houses to place them in.
History: Links will suffice, but please write it out if the links are insufficient.
Appearance: A picture will be sufficient, but we'd never turn down a written explanation.
Personality: This should be the biggest part of the application unless your history is written out. There should at least be 3 paragraphs OR 300+ words. No links. Using old app sections for this AS LONG AS THEY ARE YOUR OWN is reasonable.
Abilites: Please note that in this domestic paradise, powers will be taken. Will you get them back? If you behave, perhaps. Please list any special powers your character has and any natural talents that they possess. This can range from flying to having nice handwriting.
Other: Anything else you'd like to include? Put it here.
SAMPLES
First Person: "Action brackets", this will be your cell phone, webcam, and text related communicating. At least eight sentences is required. You may link from a musebox, a meme thread, or a previous roleplays tag for this section. When linking singular threads, however, make sure that they are at least 10 comments long from YOUR character to accurately judge. Can be taken from

testrun_box.Third Person: This is more like a log entry and action related. It should could more "he/she" than "I". Please give us at least two paragraphs OR 10+ lines or text. You may link to a musebox post or previous roleplay log for this but only if you didn't link for your first person and vice versa. Also remember that this isn't fanfiction and should act like a log post would . Just rambling on like a novel isn't writing a log. If linking, please make sure that there are at least 5 responses from your character to accurately judge. Can be taken from

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Sweden (Berwald Oxenstierna)
Age: 1022+ (looks 21)
Canon Point: Early 1990s
Species: Personified nation
Gender: Male, both mentally and biologically
Orientation: He's the only Hetalia character with a stated sexual preference. Sweden is homosexual, but really he could best be described as Finland-sexual, as he is homosexual only for Finland and shows no interest in anyone else. Feel free to pair him off with either gender. He will be equally unimpressed.
History: A really nice summary of Swedish history here. Hetalia wiki on Sweden here. If these are insufficient, I'm happy to summarize what we see of him in canon.
Appearance: The first thing one notices is that Berwald is tall. And frightening-looking! When he's not looking completely blank or uninterested, he probably looks angry. He has a frightening glare, his sea-green eyes typically boring holes into someone as he stares and stares. He wears glasses, so expect an even deeper scowl if he's lost them.
Sweden has blond, short and slightly choppy hair. While incredibly tall, as most Swedes are, he is also pretty fit in terms of body-type. He typically wears a long, dark blue coat, blue pants, black boots, black gloves, and a black formal shirt and tie.
When he's not wearing his uniform, he opts for darker clothes. He rather likes just wearing pants and a turtle neck. In a word, his fashion sense is "simple."
Personality: Sweden is a nation of few words, but he has many thoughts. To almost everyone else, he is intimidating, cold, and stand-offish. Inside, he is completely the opposite. He is incredibly thoughtful and compassionate, warm, kind, generous, and even playful. But, because he has such a scary outward appearance, no one gets to really experience that. It's hard for him to convey all of the emotions and thoughts that go on inside of him, as he is incredibly socially awkward to the point where it just looks like he's trying to scare people off.
He is not completely merciful, as he was once known as the Lion of Northern Europe (though, he's calmed down immensely since those days). If you threaten the well-being of his friends (and God help you if you hurt or even look at Finland wrong), he will get you back. He is a very strong fighter and does not back down if there is a threat. The biggest rivals he really had were Denmark and Russia, though his relationship with his brother have immensely cooled in the present day. There still seems to be slight tension with Russia, however, and is always worrying over Finland's well-being whenever he's around the other.
Despite being silent, he loves debates and arguments in general. He is very calculating in a sense, as he thought up the perfect payback for France in an April Fool's Event -- making him praise England. It's very hard to tell just what Sweden is thinking, as his facial expressions hardly change (though sometimes his expressions to things Finland says are comically exaggerated).
Finland means the entire world to Sweden. He does anything he can to make the other country happy. He takes his most expensive clothes and fits them to the smaller nation's size, is willing to take Finland's friends (Estonia and Latvia) back to their place, seeing as they make him happy, and generally goes above and beyond. When he remarks their dog, Flower Egg, would be wanting her house soon and Finland says it'd be nice to have his own space, he holes himself up in a corner and gives Finland the rest of the house. According to the other nation, it was a bit ridiculous, so that quickly ended. Anything that would make him happy, he'll do, such as "doing his best" when Finland says it'd be nice to have a kid. Even during the Winter War, when no country was helping Finland fight against Russia, Sweden secretly visited him and gave him aid despite being neutral. For him, he'll do anything and is constantly concerned for his safety.
Sweden himself is very fond of cute things like small animals, kids, and his wife. He is also fond of sweets! There are many surprises to him that are to be found out simply by chance or if he gets close enough to someone. He doesn't speak much and remains stoic, so it's up to a person learning how to read Sweden to truly understand him. He is capable of laughing and smiling, though it is rare.
Abilites: As a nation, he's "immortal" and has a strong immune system. Sweden himself is very skilled at using his hands and can sew and build a variety of things (toys, houses, etc.). He's very strong in terms of combat and can put up quite the fight, having conquered other countries as the Swedish Empire. ...also, his gaze scares the shit out of everyone. He is skilled in interior design, a variety of art, and has musical talent. Not like he'd ever really have the confidence to sing, though he may play guitar if asked.
It is to be noted that his canned Surströmming can be considered the world's ultimate weapon. Despite having such a frightening food, Sweden is wonderful at cooking and can make a variety of foods (e.g., Swedish, Turkish, and Italian).
Other: The reason for pulling him from the 1990s of all times is because Ladonia was proclaimed in 1996 and I would rather avoid Sweden having to miss both Ladonia and Sealand. So, I'm pulling him before he adopts Sealand and before Ladonia is even formed. If we get Sealand (since I don't think Ladonia has enough information yet to be apped), I may inquire about canon updating him! Just FYI.
Also, Sweden speaks in a heavy accent and the fanon substitute of translating the Tohoku accent is truncating vowels for English. I do my best to not overdo it and make him understandable, but I can also have him not speak in an accent if it's deemed as unnecessary.
SAMPLES
First Person: Here!
Third Person: Holly Heights wasn't working out for him.
It was a simple reason why: the person making breakfast for him wasn't his real wife. This person, his pre-arranged spouse, wasn't the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and adopt children with. No, his spouse was some stranger he didn't know but was supposed to get along with. He was supposed to pretend this was all right and that they were happily married.
It made his heart ache. First, he had to deal with being stripped of his identity as a nation and made human. Then, he was put into this situation, where his true wife was not at his side. Berwald would make arrangements to see him, of course. There was no possible way he'd be kept from doing at least that (he hoped). It was just so incredibly unnerving and awkward. He glanced from his newspaper over to one of his kids, wondering if they thought the same as him or if they were happy with accepting this.
Right now, it was too early to do anything about it. He could at least wait until after breakfast before skipping out on his "spouse." Berwald quietly thanked them as a plate was set down in front of him, his newspaper lowered. Much too early for this. He could only hope he wasn't expected to make conversation.
