Regarding the Russia of nation_ask: Your characterization is actually pretty good! I feel that your tone needs a bit more work, though. I notice that you tend to pause in the middle of sentences a lot (with '...'s), and add thinking sounds like 'mnn' too excessively. I was also quite disturbed when I saw the usage of 'nee' at one point-- Russia-san does not speak Japanese, does he? (On the usage of emoticons like '<3', I thought they weren't allowed.)
It would be really cool if you could work on that, because that's about the only problem I spot with your Russia so far!
I got the tone from the drama CD, which surprised me... because he speaks in a sickeningly sweet soft tone of voice. He pauses alot there too, I try to picture that tone in my head when writing with him...
Though since you think so, I will tone it down for the sake of a more natural medium between the manga and the drama CD~ >w<
the ne... well, hetalia IS japanese, and its such a cute term that he uses alot despite the fact its a female-only useage... its very rare for a grown man to use "ne" I can't translate it to english "right?" without loosing that cute touch... and in some of the scanlations, they keep it.
and the <3s... thats something else that comes up in wordbubbles in the scanlations. I think of it as an exception... unlike things like "o_O" or something >w< Does that make sense?
UHM... I know when people give me critism I sound scary so... I just got worried that your lack of reply wasn't because its only been one day and you have a life, but because I sounded mean? xD
But I am not mad! If you even thought that, I thank you for it! and I've definatly been watching how I speak now, and thankyou for pointing these things out to me... I'm trying harder! >w<;;
Please help me become the best russia I can be...? xD;; And if you still disagree with what I said please please tell me~ My worst fear is someone being like "omg russia sucks" but not saying anything... @A@;;
