I came across a Hetalia board with an Antarctica, and it reminded my of my own Hetalia-inspired non-country character. Only, I personified...the sun. xD
I didn't RP with him. I didn't write him into any stories. He's just this fun character that exists in my head, in a pretty nonserious way.
But for those who are curious, here is the bio I made for him ( I used a different format from the ones here on Darker, since he's not a character that gets used anywhere but my mind. )
Also, to help the reader make sense of the way I portrayed him, here is the gist of my backstory:
In my fictional personified-celestial objects universe, Sol had initially been an inhabitant of a planet that died when its red-giant star went nova. The beings of that world were technologically advanced enough to accurately predict when it was going to happen, but they lacked the ability to get off their world and escape far enough fast enough ( and they didn't know of any other worlds that could support them, anyway ). Sol had been young and had just fallen in love. Minutes before he and his people knew their star would blow, he had a touching, emotionally-charged moment where he told his beloved that in his next life he would wish to be born as a star, so he could nourish, shelter, and protect life, always.
The star blew up.
The planet and all life on it died.
And Sol got his wish.
Upon his birth as a star, he helped arrange the solar system to be suitable for life, and entered an alliance with the spirit of the Earth. However, it took so very, very long for conditions to be right for life, and when the first life did arise, it was microbes. Sol got bored and went to sleep, waking up every few hundred million years or so to check for intelligent life. He was thrilled when the dinosaurs arose, only...they didn't make for good conversationalists. So he went back to sleep for a short nap and woke up in the year 2008. xD
Currently, he is fascinated with the people of the Earth and the spirits of their nations. He wants to learn everything he can about our cultures and lifeways, and make a few friends along the way. To these ends he has assumed a human form, though he still retains some of his star qualities.
Star: Sol ( a.k.a. Sun )
Pseudonym: Saul Brightheart
Birthday: Unknown exactly, but at some point about 4.6 billion years ago. Sol only knows his age in Earth years thanks to humans: as a star, he has a sense of timelessness and can never remember Earth dates. He is puzzled by the concept of “birthdays”.
Color: White ( appears yellow from earth due to atmospheric scattering )
Star Class: Main Sequence G ( G2V )
True Age: 4.6 billion years ( middle-aged for a star )
True area size: 2,347,000,000,000 square miles ( about 11,990 Earths )
True weight range: ~ 1.9 octillion metric tonnes ( about 332,900 Earths )
Visual Brightness: -26.74
Temperature: 9,941 ºF on surface, 26,999,540.6 ºF at the core
Distinguishing features: Extremely stable, one of the few stars not to have a companion star, bigger and brighter than 85% of the known stars in the Milky Way, 11-year cycles of sunspots
Planets in Family: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune ( also , dwarf planets Pluto and Eris )
Languages: Stellar ( nonverbal color-and-image-dominated telepathic default language of the stars ), Vandahsy ( planets’ default language ), Shaykomay, all Earth languages ( stars inherit all languages that develop in their solar system )
Totem animal(s): Phoenix ( main ), eagle, unicorn, dog
Allies/friends: The solar system planet spirits, most country spirits, Alpha Centauri, Sirius
Enemies/non-friends: Antares, Eta Kiel, most pulsars, most magnetars, anything that could pose a threat to life in his family ( solar system )
Human height: 5’11
Human weight: 182 lbs
Human Age Appearance: 26-30 years
Hair: Bright golden blonde
Eyes: Gold
Special Power(s):
Issuing sunlight from his eyes, radiating heat, radiating radiation, shooting fire from his hands in streams or fireballs, some magical ability ( mostly in the healing realm )
Character strengths: Very laid-back, outgoing, loving, protective, fiercely loyal, stable, unselfish, able to see the big picture ( most of the time ), creative, generous,
Character flaws: Addictive personality; consumed with an obsessive fear of loss; naïve; does not understand Earth affairs as well as he thinks he does; STILL feels guilty because he couldn’t save his lover and people billions of years ago ( which is not at all logical given the circumstances ), too trusting
Likes: Life in all forms, planets, rain, clouds, wind, lightning, snow, flowers, birds, music, bright colors, movies, art, harmony
Dislikes: Death, destruction, war, violence in general, unstable stars
Favorite foods/drinks: Salty things ( pretzels, chips, etc. ), maple syrup, pizza, pasta, vinegar ( as a drink! ), energy drinks
Favorite activities: EXPLORING, learning new things, having new experiences, listening to music, watching movies, getting caught in the rain/snow, helping life, protecting life, adding salt to everything
Fears: Black holes, supernovas, gamma-blasts — basically anything that could destroy his planets or lead to the destruction of life on Earth ( including things which threaten his existence, since he is needed for life )
Catchphrase: “Life is precious.”
