Description As seen on my Ancients a go go image - my OC Scandinavia.

A couple of people were saying they wanted to see a non-SD version of him, so I went both ways and did a proper 'grown' version and an attempt at imitating Hidekaz' style of chibi (which is easier said than done, what with his random adding lines and annoying way of colouring things FFFF)

But yes. Scandinavia.

After Germania left for the south, Scandinavia grew into a region in his own right, eventually becoming father to Denmark, Norway and (much later on) Iceland. He also adopted Finland having found him nearby (Feno-scandinavia). Sweden... he was never sure on. He always resembled his brother more than him, but he adored him all the same. His relationship with his brother is a little strained, with Germania looking down on him and constantly treating him like a child. It didn't help that Scandinavia had a crush on Rome, despite Rome not really looking past Germania to the far north. Scandinavia as a region is only mentioned in passing in Roman writings, whilst archaeological evidence shows Scandinavia itself was eager to import and imitate Roman style goods and the like. Rome's fleeting interest is reflected in the way his Latin name keeps changing depending on the writer (Codanonia, Scatinavia, Scandia, Scandza, etc).

Personality wise, he's very softly spoken, and not in great control of his emotions. He's also somewhat naive/gullible and trusting. Over winter, he always has tears in his eyes, quick to cry whether it's from fear, confusion or happiness. Moreover, he sometimes has difficultly understanding things beyond literal meaning. Then of course there is berserkergang. When angered, he becomes fearsome and hyper-violent, not hesitating to rip through his enemies in a blind rage. Despite being so soft hearted, he can be very stubborn when he wants (usually in the face of his brother trying to marry him off).

He loves apples '3'

Eventually, as his children became strong enough entities to exist as near-nations in their own rights (and to get away from his brother), he set sail to travel east, becoming Varangian and eventually Kievan Rus’ (which I will be writing up next).

... Originally he was just Kievan Rus’, but I needed a way to make the Viking migration issue work in Hetalia-terms so Scandinavia he became... I'm a Normanist, deal with it. B| Any questions are welcome!

[EDIT - Made a character sheet with more in depth stuff on him [link] ]

Aestii could work as a step-mummy. In an AU rp I did with Aestii's creator, he was the babysitter Rus' (unintentionally) hired to look after his kids (being both a high flying businessman and a single father). Just bear in mind Scandia/Rus' isn't sure how he feels about Aestii - he cares about him a whole lot, but he doesn't know for sure if those feelings are romantic or platonic.

I haven't rp-ed in a while now, but I would like to come back to it someday Granted I did all my roleplaying over on livejournal.

Ok, I understand that. I'd like to see them as a couple, eventually, perhaps. Oh, ok. I've never used livejournal...but...hmm. Maybe we could RP by notes someday?

R-ninja In reply to Katyushapitchfork [2011-04-10 13:45:08 +0000 UTC]

I'm fine with them ending up a couple as long as it's gradual Scandia's not very good at being direct, whilst Aestii is direct, but in his own weirdly worded way. There's a lot of confusion and misunderstandings.

And sure, I'll let you know if/when I have time.

Katyushapitchfork In reply to R-ninja [2011-04-10 14:38:13 +0000 UTC]

Aww. Yeah I knew about that Scandia being all shy... that's what made me fall for him. Oh of course, even in an AU fanfiction I'm currently writing, their relationship is kind of...confussing... and has some awkward moments before they end up together. Speaking of which, would it be okay if I depicted Baltia as a biologist and active member of Greenpeace?
And okay. :3

R-ninja In reply to Katyushapitchfork [2011-04-10 14:52:04 +0000 UTC]

Greenpeace might be a little hardcore for Aestii/Baltia :'D In the AU I played in, he was more passive (chaining himself to trees, doing charity bake sales, going to protests but eventually falling asleep curled around his sign, etc) rather than confrontational. It'd probably be a better idea to ask his creator (I just did the design).

Hence the fact Finland was adopted (being part of Feno-Scandinavia). Also, apparently there have been archeological findings in Iceland that date to before Norwegian settlement records begin. Anyway, I'm glad you like it

I know - this is the representation of ancient Scandinavia back in Roman times (i.e: back when there wasn't much in the way of nations or countries). The Romans grouped areas as regions/provinces and thought that Scandinavia (then named "Scandza") was an island. Hence the character for him

ihopeidiefeeling In reply to R-ninja [2010-11-14 17:29:11 +0000 UTC]

OK I was just pointing it out because it seems like a lot of people not from the countries considered part of Scandinavia think it's a country.

I thought Africa was a country until first geography class in second grade. It seems like most people who think Scandinavia and Africa to be countries are American. Perhaps their schools are very centered around their own country?

Well, Geez. Americans who go to school know Africa is continent, but we don't differentiate a African country from another. Also, we dont talk much of the countries, their history, or anything unless we here it on the news. Also, American don't confuse Scandinavia for a country, because we don't even know what that is.

Actually, I have done a couple of concept sketches [link] and [link]

I consider Angle Germania's niece (though Saxon is his son). But I have to say, the Angles didn't bear much influence outside of England, so there's really no relation between her and Scotland, Wales, and Ireland (hence why she's England's "adopted" mother).

No worries :'D Basically it went Britannia (Celts under Roman rule) > Angles & Saxons > Throw in some Danes > Suddenly, Normans. Albion as a name pre-dates the Roman province Britannia, so maybe a great (great) grand-mother? Or maybe it could be Britannia's name before she became a Roman province? Something to ponder :'|a

yeah the mind boggles (I dont know if I spelt that right lol) but yeah england and the uks overall name has changed so much to be honest most people saw britian being under other countries rule (for example rome) as a sort of pampering. But being british i have learnt its more like Englands been chained to a dog kennel and looked after in such a way , cared for but no free will or powere.c.t -_-; scotland isn't much help through history either but oh well we aren't so bad off now and we were a great empire (if only our politicians weren't so harsh on some countries making our country as a whole get hated through history... stupid aristocrats 'sigh')

R-ninja In reply to thenesofdarkness [2010-10-05 22:08:57 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying :'|a Many countries and regions have been known under various names before settling on just the one. And like you said, being British we really shouldn't complain about colonial rule what with the days of British imperialism... And Scotland probably wasn't "much help" due to the whole constantly trying to dominate it thing - not really something that would endear them to us.

On the plus side, we have great tea.
