USA Birthday crackthread~

[America]

So in honor of the fact that it's America's birthday, we're gonna be holding a little party at Alfred's place in Pennsylvania on the 4th. Yong Soo's getting everything together for a big birthday bash, and the people he's inviting are mostly state-tans (with a few nations, if they feel like showing up).

Sign up to be a state-tan here! List your name (both the state and the regular human name) and give me a brief outline of physical appearance and personality so I know what the hell to expect.

If you have a very good reason for being a nation at the party instead, that's fine too~ Just wanna keep that to a minimum~

Yeah, I think this idea is pretty much not gonna work out. Though if people wanted to do some other crack thing where we pretend to be the states, by all means go ahead~

Dibs on Nebraska.
This is what he looks like:


He's also kind of tall; Cherry County is the largest county square-mileage-wise in the United States, and it's hard to come up with something that represents without it getting dirty. >> Ergo, it translates into height.

((REAL QUICK MINI-APP THING YAY. *COPY/PASTE FROM OLDOLDOLD APPS*))

State: Texas

Name: Randall "Randy" Houston

Revolution!Texas because that's all I've got right now.

Appearance: Dark-haired with the occasional blond strand, but it’s been lightening up some since he hasn’t been living with Mexico anymore. A couple strands stick up at the top, representing Galveston Island and South Padre Island. He has brown eyes and is fairly tan with freckles everywhere, appears pretty muscular and only slighter shorter than America. He also wears the trademark Texas glasses, although instead of his representing Texas (‘cause y’know, that’d just be silly), the left lens (when you’re looking at them) represents Fort Worth, and the right lens represents Dallas. He likes to be comfortable, so he usually wanders around in a flannel shirt (usually red) and a worn pair of jeans, more often than not also sporting a pair of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat (though he usually just lets it hang down on his back instead of actually wearing it). Usually seen lazing around somewhere drinking Dr Pepper or watching football. Tell that boy to get back in the field, wouldja?

Personality: Biggest ego you've ever seen, which is to be expected from a state who managed to get by as a Republic for over a decade. And then, of course, everything's bigger in Texas. Prides himself in everything he does. He still embraces his “Old West” days, has the infamous accent (though not as strong as ‘outsiders’ are led to believe), is an avid football fanatic, and won’t let down an opportunity to prove himself. He tends to be a sore loser, so he still holds grudges against some of the Northern states (and he always plays the “I won the battle of Palmito Ranch, last battle of the Civil War, so there” line to try and make himself feel better). He’s probably just as annoying as America, but unlike him he knows when to shut up. He’s got a bit of a temper and is easily annoyed, tends to be more “old-westy” and lives a southern lifestyle. He’s not fond of big cities and loud parties, so he only has a few large cities (relative to the state’s size) and they normally don’t throw huge events. America has rubbed off on him though. He has America’s love of fried food, so much in fact that the State Fair of Texas prides itself on seeing how many things they can fry that you never would have thought of (coke, butter, jellybeans, twinkies, etc.). He’s also a patriotic guy, but his love of his state tends to come first. By nature he’s extremely independent and usually refuses help from others, causing others to call him the Lone Star State, and basically tends to be a loner in general (because he’s convinced he’s awesome and can do everything single-handed). Still pretty lazy though, so it’s not uncommon to see him lounging around doing something completely unrelated to agriculture or business (Dallas has a lot of businesses; he’s not all cowboy). He loves the outdoors though, so when he isn’t out doing work, he’s usually hanging out at a lake or down in Galveston at the beach. As a side note, he says he hates being called Randall, but never really gets on to people when they do.
