Name: Vargas, Lovino (South Italy, and “Italia Romano”)
Fandom: Axis Powers Hetalia
History link: The Character | The Nation
Age: Being half a nation, his age is pretty hard to grasp. However, canon states that he appears somewhere between 22 and 23 years old.
Canon point: Present day, 2011, which would postdate everything in the manga, web-comic, and anime at this point. This includes his unintentional saving of a parallel universe on New Year’s Day.

Personality: Romano was graced with the personality of a PMSing woman.
On even a good day, he will appear for all the world to be sulking or generally upset about something, when on the inside he may really be neither. A frown is his default expression, whether he’s happy or sad, though a smile may find its way to the surface on the rarest of occasions.
Things that make Romano smile are few and far between and you’ll be wasting hours upon hours of your life trying to find them. And even if you have that knowledge and use it, he may still keep his smile hidden, simply to ruin your fun. There are times when he can say the cruelest things without really meaning it. Other times he’s just too embarrassed to be honest, so a harsh comeback is the easiest way to reply.
He has a foul mouth to accompany his sour expressions. His favorite words in all languages are “Bastard”, “Fuck”, and “Asshole”. Even as a little nation, he constantly cursed and berated his caretakers, including Spain, whose nickname ranged from ‘Bastard’ to ‘Jerk’ depending on Roma’s mood. Not much has changed in that regard.
There are quite a few reasons for his bad behavior. Being overshadowed by his younger brother (North Italy), has made his entire life something of a competition with him for the attention of others. When his art and trade and other generally good traits paled in comparison to Veneziano’s, he resorted to throwing things, temper tantrums, anything and everything that would pull some attention his way. Even then, though, it was never the attention he desired. Today he is still quick to start trouble out of habit and finds that it is increasingly amusing to do so.
His bad behavior is only pushed along further with influence from the Mafia, even if he and they are not on good terms because of the harm they do to his economy(which pretty much relates directly to his health). He sees the world as a dark place because of the atrocities that happen very close to his heart.
As per the Italian stereotype, he is a coward: he may start fights, but most of the time he will run away from them or trip on his way in; a flirt: normally, he only flirts with pretty women and acts abrasive to men; and a lover of pasta and wine: self explanatory.
He’s a bit spoiled and usually expects to get his way if he whines enough, though this doesn’t happen as often as he’d like. He avoids hard labor like the plague and would prefer to be tending to plants or cooking or eating or sleeping. His siesta is serious business and he almost always sleeps naked and alone, though his brother has been known to spend nights sharing the bed with him for whatever reason.
He’s deathly afraid of perverts (like France) and will try to hide from them on sight. He will probably be hiding a lot.

Powers/Abilities: Other than the partial immortality that comes from being half a nation, which was mentioned in the age section, Romano really doesn’t have any extraordinary abilities. The things he can do that are above the norm are speak in a variety of languages (Italian, English, Sicilian, some Spanish, etc) and pickpocket like a pro (even though the chips will be impossible to steal, other objects on a character’s body aren’t, right?)
He can use typical weapons like guns or knives, but has a tendency to be clumsy with them in a stressful situation.
Lastly, a phenomenon occurs when the strange curl protruding from his head is tugged, causing him to utter a sound like ‘Chigi’. For those that don't know, this curl is erogenous.
