Pick a character and...

[kecen]

Pick a character I write, or one you know I plan on writing/have a work in progress for, and I will give you the top five ideas or concepts or factoids I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting him or her accurately. This includes original characters and characters about whom I write fanfic.

1. He's fiercely proud of who he is; for years and years he was a world class power with an expansive "harem". Other empires paid tribute to him. See: "Sinosphere". He's determined to be a world class power again.

2. He has a hard time falling in love with other nations because he knows that nothing is permanent. I think he's far more likely to be in love with one of his citizens. The reason I prefer him to be paired with Asian nations is that they're more likely to be people he genuinely cares about, since he's known them for longer. It helps he influenced their culture, too.

3. He's seen so much ugly shizz going down that nothing surprises him any more. Although, he considers certain things in bad taste. I think he has some pretty twisted kinks under his bed. Especially regarding a certain island nation.

4. He's NOT a virgin after all these years. Hell, I think he deflowered Japan and Korea or at least was the first nation they had sex with.

5. He's wary of foreigners, after what happened with Britain and the subsequent gang-bang. You know how Japan was shown as a hikikomori in those strips? China had and still has his own xenophobic streak. He looked down on other nations when he was a great empire. He's resentful of the nations in power nowadays.

1. lol yes...although bound feet can only get you so far away from him

2. This. I like to think if he did fall in love with a human by chance, it would have ended badly.

3a. There was a 4koma page that Russia was bawwwing to him about why he had to be lonely. China answers "That's how I know you're still young" as he thinks about Japan walking away with his katana ;n;

3b. With age comes experience, and I bet he picked up a few tricks along the way. Just because he happens to bottom doesn't mean he's an easy lay

4. After Mongolian invasion? Nope.

5. He's also the type to want to do things his own way, not only because of bad history, he just likes doing things the old way out of tradition.

Did you listen to the Drama CD? He is not thrilled with Western holidays and gets confused when Japan mentions following the Gregorian calendar's New Year.
