Description
After reading KaraShogai's rant/speech/journal about bad Northern Ireland (NI) OCs I decided to a) Think about some of my own headcanons for NI b) write it al down. If you see things you really think I should change, tell me what and why so that I can consider it. A link to the journal can be found in the artists description.

Name: Seamus Kirkland
Gender: Male
Birthday: 3 May 1921
Physical age: 15
Capital: Belfast
Language: Ulster Scottish, English, Irish Gealic
Flag: No official (uses Ulster Banner and Saint Patrick's cross)

Foreign relationships:
Outside the common wealth, The Republic of Ireland (ROI) and France, NI doesn't really know any toher countries. He might have seen them or heard of them (England telling about them mostly), but knowing them no. This is because England does virtually everything for him (the NI government doesn't have much to say). When he does meet a new country he only speaks when necessary. Yes, he's "shy"around new people. But since this doesn't really happen, it doesn't really show.

Religion:
NI is definatelly Christian, but it's not clear if he's Protestant or Katholic. He's against gay marriage and abortion.

The Troubles:
Toutchy, I hope I didn't make too many (bad) mistakes. Please say if I am really off.
NI dislikes talking about it too much. Questions about his feelings towards England and ROI annoy him. He likes England (probably the most of all British isles), but the nationalists make him dislike England a bit. Like a voice in the back of his head telling him he shouldn't like England. No, it's not a personality disorder. It's a tugging feeling. Same goes for ROI. When the Troubles get really bad NI does suffer from migraine. I would get one as well if a civil war was going on in my country. At some time during the Troubles he threw a stone at England (bomb in real life), but directly after that he wanted to apologise. He's not in control of what happends and doesn't like it at all. He never joined in, always wished they could just stop. Due to the Troubles NI isn't scared of guns and bombs really.

Magic:
Unlike the other UK members and ROI, NI doesn't have a strong bond with magic. He was born in the 20th century and most people stopped believing in magic. But he's not completly ungifted. He can do small spells and see minor magical beings. He rarely preforms the spells he can do and when he spots a magical being he a) walks away slowly b) tries to scare (shoot at it) it away c) tries to catch it. The big magic mumbo jumbo he leaves to other countries to preform.

Looks:
This is the part where I go stereotypical.
He has wavy ginger hair and green eyes. Freckles all over his body and no tan to speak of. He wears glasses and misses a tooth. He has thick eyebrows as well, but they are not like England's. They are the same colour as his hair and have a different curve(?).

Other personality things:
- He likes to make boat models. (the Titanic was made in Belfast. That was before he was born, but he likes it either way.)
- He's afraid of snakes. (there are no snakes in Ireland. The only snakes he has ever seen were locked in a cage in a zoo.)
- He does nearly everything England tells him to do if it is whithin his reach. (As said earlier the NI parlemaint/government thingy doesn't have a lot of power.)
- He has a short temper. (much like England.. familly trait?)
- He gets babied by his elder siblings. He doesn't like it at all. (the wee lawd is only 91!)
- He sometimes calls the tv evil. (He once found porn channels)
- He's not very into modern technologics, but he does keep up a bit.
- He once caught a hedgehog in his hair, it got stuck. (this makes no sence really)
- He made the hedgehog his pet and called it Lewis. (Lewis (who wrote Narnia) came from NI)
- Even at the common wealth games and other meetings between them he doesn't interact a lot with other countries.
- He has some sort of home in Belfast, but a lot of the time he lives in England's house.
- He's not allowed to drink, but if he would he wouldn't be able to get drunk.
- When he's around people he likes (and no Troubles), he's a happy-go-lucky person.
- He can find the end of the rainbow if he puts his mind to it.
- He sometimes calls himself Seamus O'Kirkland
- He has a brooch of a Flax.
- He has a heavy Northern Irish accent, but can speak 'proper' English. (England makes him)

Done with it~ Okay now some other things. You might ask, why does a Dutch person with no real connection with Northern Ireland make an OC for the country? Well I always knew it existed, but I got really into it when I had a project about the British isles and ROI at school. We were going to England, but before that everyone was splitted into groups. Each group had to make a presentation and a paper for one of the countries. My group had NI and the part I had to do was history. When I was writing I found it facinating how much happened in the 90 (I made it a year ago) years of history it had. I got myself sucked up in it and at the same time I was watching some Hetalia episodes. One thing came from another and I created my OC. I have to say in the beginning he wasn't that good, but over the year he became much better (if I say it myself). Apart from myself there is only one person who has seen him grow (you know who you are).

I once made a historically Hetalia familly tree (link in artist desrciption) and when I thing deeply to put NI somewhere I would have to conclude that he's the son of England and ROI. Don't fret for a country to be born you don't need to have sex, but they have traits from the parents. And I definatelly do not see ROI and England together. That would be very very wrong and disgusting. In my head they hate eachother. Talking about ROI. In my head ROI could be female, but then she wouldn't act feminine at all. She would start a drinking contest with Russia if she wanted to. No showy clothes, but jeans in which you can run and climb into trees. Not a woman you want to get angry with you. Or just male, but not the sissy you see so often.

yeah done
