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.

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.

Hong Kong | Axis Powers Hetalia

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Hong Kong
Age: Late teens physically, really in his hundreds.
Canon Point: Modern day/May 2012
Species: Personified territory.
Gender: Male.
Orientation: It's never been really been specified in canon, but there has been an incident in which he complained about "the sausage fest" his and China's Christmas gathering turned out to be, so that seems to imply he leans more towards being heterosexual.
History: His page on Hetalia Wiki + Wiki page on Hong Kong history itself.
Appearance: I place Hong Kong at about 5'7 in height, half an inch or so taller than China. He has choppy dark brown hair and brownish eyes with a slightly tawny golden sheen to them. He has been described as slender but quite toned and muscular. Perhaps most noticeable are his slightly thick eyebrows, which he has due to England supposedly cursing him during his time as a colony.
Personality: Upon first meeting Hong Kong, many might question whether he actually possesses one of these. He is described by Himaruya as being the sort of person that you can never tell what they're thinking. Normal displays of emotion seem to avoid this guy.
Don’t be lead into thinking he’s shy or timid though, first impressions aren’t all that they seem and Hong Kong actually possesses a remarkable amount of arrogance. Being such a forefronting world power in the likes of finance and business and having become so in such a remarkably short time, perhaps this is understandable. Couple this confidence with cynicism and a love of making snarky comments and you could have a right troll on your hands. He's also far from the quiet, contented type that he might appear and he doesn't hesitate to antagonise and troll intimidating characters such as Russia, clearly illustrating a lack of fear to some extent.
Unless you know him quite well, Hong Kong prefers to only open his mouth to say something cutting, rain on your parade and undermine you. This is ideally illustrated in Hetalia Fantasia when China explains the importance of earning money in America’s online game to avoid troublesome situations, only to receive a comment from Hong Kong, pointing out that it would have been entirely less troublesome to not play at all. Then followed by a response to Russia’s “life is troublesome” comment, with a request to use that little piece of wisdom in a joke. Annoying, perhaps, but having been shuffled back and forth between China and the UK and even a couple of years under Japan’s control, it isn’t really surprising that maybe Hong Kong has become quietly a little bit cynical of the other nations and their affairs.
In essence, Hong Kong is like a rebellious teenager, renewed with confidence at having been catapulted at such a young age into a position of importance and keen to undermine authority and his seniors and their old fashioned fuddy-duddy ways whenever he gets a chance. When under England’s control, it's stated that he would delight in setting off firecrackers during festivals, scaring poor Iggy and earning himself a lot of scolding. Aside from landing him with rather thicker eyebrows compared to the other Asians, England played a massive part in shaping Hong Kong, does Hong Kong respect him in any way? Of course not! He's no more respectful on the outside towards China either, one such example being his habit of drawing "explicit art", which he "kind of" apologises for and promises his teacher that he will never make any again, "maybe".
Re: Hong Kong | Axis Powers Hetalia
His biggest passion in life is probably, unfortunately, money, largely reflected in his culture and people. Another obsession is image, he is fundamentally a pretty shallow person and probably judges and individual by their looks far too often. He also has a tendency to show little hesitance when it comes to lying, cheating and stealing to get his way if it comes down to it, as befitting of a place that is really the biggest home to triads. He possesses a large devious streak and a great amount of intelligence and ability to learn, you wouldn't really expect anything else from an ex-colony that went from barren island to thriving metropolis in only a century and a half.
Abilites: Being a territory rather than a regular human means that Hong Kong possesses greater strength and endurance and of course, most importantly: longevity. It's also more difficult to physically harm him than a normal person and he heals more rapidly. Other than that there's not much else.
Other: He's fairly fluent in quite a few languages and has been described as a "gourmet" and is an excellent cook. I think he also knows quite a lot of martial arts.
SAMPLES
First Person:
[ The camera focuses in on a typically bored looking Hong Kong. At least it looks like he's bored... Admittedly, it's a difficult to tell as usual. He speaks in a slightly drawly way, although it's obvious that he's not happy about something. ]
...So, like, these kids I got assigned. I have kind of a problem. They have no style and they've totally never heard of Bruce Lee... I don't even think they know who Jackie is, y'know? That's really bad.
So basically, I was wondering if I could trade them in for better ones? Y'know, like, just swap them. My kid should be cool, have great style and totally do everything I say.
So, mister landlord boss guy, see what you can do, yeah? Cool.
Third Person: Perched on the front of a junk boat, Hong Kong lets his fingers trail lazily through the water below, seemingly not a care in the world, he still had a hour before he was due at that meeting after all. Aberdeen floating village is filled with the ever familar -and perhaps unpleasant to most- scent of freshly caught fish, rows upon rows of salted ones hang not so far away and he eyes them in a slightly hungry manner. It didn't matter what time of day it was, Hong Kong was always hungry. The veritable bottomless pit of Asia.
The thought of the upcoming meeting does very little in the way of encouraging enthusiasm in him and he yawns and stretches a little as the boat gently rocks with the sea water below, contemplating perhaps if he could really master sleeping with his eyes open yet. Or perhaps he should just sneak his cellphone in by hiding it up one of his shirt sleeves again and play games on it for however many hours he'd be stuck there.
China always seem to have a way of dragging these discussions- or perhaps rants would be more accurate- on for as long as possible, whilst Hong Kong would silently reflect on the fact that he would have ended the whole thing with a brief and overly blunt two minute summary. Why prolong these things? Especially if they had nothing at all to do with money. Still, who was he to argue with the old man? Crazy as his teacher's methods might appear sometimes... No. Make that all of the time.
Hong Kong yawns again and slowly gets to his feet once more. He still has some time to kill. Nobody would mind if he brought snacks to the meeting, right? ...Not that he'd actually care if they did anyway. He fingers a few notes in his pocket and shrugs, should be enough to get three bags of egg tarts... Maybe four...
