England
Name: England aka Arthur Kirkland.
Age: A little over 1000 years.
Sexuality: bisexual
History: In his earliest days, England was known as "Albion". The Celtic tribes that had migrated from Central Europe and France mixed with the indigenous tribes to create a distinct culture apart from the mainland. These tribes were scattered about the British Isles and didn't truly get along with each other. He spent his childhood playing with the faie and learned the art and laws of magic from them. He was conquered by the Romans in 43 AD and became part of the Roman Empire, causing greater rifts in the family. Rome renamed Albion "Britannia". The Romans controlled most of present-day England and Wales, and founded a large number of cities that still exist today such as London, York, Bath, and Lancaster. It was at this time that Roman missionaries spread Christianity to England, which became the main religion for the next 1800 or so years.
When Rome left, the Anglo-Saxons set up a heptarchy which ruled over all "Britannia" from approximately 500 to 850 AD (Kent, Essex, Sussex, Wessex (the Saxons), East Anglia, Mercia, and Northumbria). They integrated with the locals during this time and the result of this mixing resulted in what we now know as "England".
Later on in America's colonization days, England's reputation for being a pirate privateer and power grows as he continues to gain more and more territories. He becomes too cocky. He and America start bickering on things and start to fight often. The strict and restrictive taxes that he forced on his colonies were too much for America, who rebelled during the American War of Independence. He faces off with a determined young America, completely devastated by the betrayal for America still holds a special place in his heart despite the boy's rapid growth . Though he lashes out angrily at first, charging at America with a bayonette that sends America's musket flying and then points his musket at America's head, he cannot bring himself to shoot. He then drops to his knees in the muddy battlefield and weeps in front of America, commenting bitterly on America's foolish tenacity. He has never quite recovered from the defeat, and the loss of his beloved colony.
In the present time, England's busy being paranoid about bomb scares due to the "War on Terror" (the 7/7 London Underground bombings gave him a literal heart attack) and becoming strict with immigration laws. He is not the empire he was once was but he is still a major world power, maintaining 14 territories overseas. And despite his rough history with America, he still has strong relations with him.
Current economy and status: England is doing extremely well now even though he's not the British Empire anymore. He is still a dominant world power.
Why he came to Camp International: England was getting a little too paranoid about the bomb scares, so he came here until trouble blows over. Also, France was here, and he just loves arguing with him.
Description: England has messy, short blond hair and lime-green eyes. According to France, he's rather slender. In World War II, he dresses in a green dress military uniform, which consists of a green jacket, a brown Sam Browne belt (the over-the-right-shoulder-and-waist-belt), green pants tucked into his boots, off-white shirt (sort of off-yellow in the manga and webcomic in the colored drawings), a tie that's a shade of green that's slightly darker than the rest of his uniform, and brown boots that almost come up to his knees. He dresses smart casual most of the time, and like a punk when he's out for fun. His eyebrows are very prominent and bushy, despite that he apparently trims them. He also happens to be the same height as France.
Personality: England is his own cold rainy island, literally as well as personality-wise. He is a very sharp-tongued man and he doesn't beat around the bush. If he doesn't like something or someone, he'd express it off the cuff and can even coldly insult the person or idea in typical British fashion. He's quite full of himself thanks to his victorious history over many of the other Nations and the proud cocky nature can still come out at times though he is doing much better at being amiable these days. However, he is still seen as a cocky and pigheaded man who hates to lose. Despite his blunt nature, he seems to know how to get along with most people and nations. Unfortunately, Native America isn't one of them.
He claims to be a gentleman after putting his pirate past behind him but England is prone to rough speech and being very rude whenever he is agitated. But despite this hostile nature to quickly shoot down anything he deems ridiculous or a waste of time, he's not truly a bad person. He is actually very bad with expressing himself correctly, sometimes being unusually indirect and causing others to misunderstand him much to his chagrin. In short he has a cold and professional exterior but he would quietly warm up to someone and become good friends with them in time.
Though he has a very cynical and jaded view on the world, he is truly a romantic very deep down. This fact comes out mainly only when he's drunk. His personality changes then, transforming from that of a "refined gentleman" to that of a bitter and belligerent punk who cries and lashes out at America as he yearns for the golden years they had. England also holds his grudges for a very long time as seen with his intense rivalry with France with whom he will disagree and bicker about anything and everything. He might not be violent as he was in his past but he can still pack a punch with his words.
Despite his cynical nature, he is also a spacey sort and is "the king of losing things". This strange part of his character is linked to his strong belief of magic and spirits. This doesn't stop him from making fun of America's belief in aliens though. But when it comes to his own quirky beliefs, England shows either a darker malicious side of himself when he is involved with black magic (he would try to conjure curses and one time he's even attempted to kill America with a cursed chair) or a more light-hearted and ditzy side when he would be conversing or playing with his "imaginary" friends (as seen in the episode when his friends come to visit him).
Allies and Enemies: England still has ties to America and Canada although he acknowledges the former more than the latter. He's fairly friendly with Japan and is fond of Sweden and Sealand. However, he holds a grudge against Russia and is still rather scared of Germany. He bickers with France and Spain almost all the time, but Native America refuses to have anything to do with him.
Skills: No, England can't cook. England can see and interact with beings of supernatural origin. He can see things like faries and unicorns but he can also see creatures and spirits of other cultures' legends such as Japanese kappa or Native America's spirit animals. This can annoy him to no end when there are too many countries with folklore. He also can use black magic to conjure spells and to summon spirits. He can curse his colonies to have the same bushy eyebrows as he does...
England is a top spy. No one can outspy him! Not even James Bond.
Other: Nobody knows this but he secretly still loves punk and to release stress he he dress up like one then plays punk songs on the electric guitar.He some times sings along,too.
