NATIONALITY:[/color] Norwegian
Every damn day about the brink of catastrophe,
[/b][/font]LIKES:[/color]
‹ Reading ;;
A small hobby of the Norwegian. He prefers to read when either completely alone without distractions or whenever he wants to ignore what's going on during a conference or meeting. Nothing usually pertains to him anyway so why listen to idiotic ideas about blocking the sun with a giagantic superhero? His favourite genres are fairytales and mysteries.
‹ Nature ;;
Typical for a Norweigan. One of his favourite places to be is just sitting around in the grass at times watching either the sky or scenery depending on where he is.
‹ Animals ;;
Nikolai loves to see different types of animals around his homeland and occaisonally leaves food out for the species around his house in Oslo before he leaves for extended trips. His favourite animal is the rabbit.
‹ Music ;;
Something that tends to calm the man down when pushed into a bad mood. He can listen to just about any form of music but pure instrumental composistions are his favourite.
‹ The colour Blue ;;
The colour he can be found wearing almost anytime you were to see the blond. Just about his entire wardrobe is coated in the shade.
‹ The Sea ;;
He loves sailing, swimming, and just being near the water on a beach. Even though it usually is too cold to be hanging around in a swimsuit, these are the few occasions he will actaully travel down Europe these days to simply hide away on a beach resort for a few days. Don't be too surprised if you were to visit his home and he was serveral countries away.
‹ Birger and Einar ;;
Two of his companions that can be found near him at just about any time. Birger, a small, green, chubby fairy, and Einar, an extremely large troll which tends to apperate from here to there, have been around Nikolai for as long as he can remember and are appart of the few things that haven't annoyed the Norwegian at some point.
DISLIKES:[/color]
‹ Loud People ;;
People he has to put up with on most occasions, like a specific Dane or other Europeans that tend to bother the Nordic whenever they see fit.
‹ Careless Destruction of Nature ;;
Despite his own past, Nikolai has never condoned of anything requiring to destroy a gift of Mother Nature. Manmade structures never bothered him, though.
‹ Hunting ;;
A bit of a hypocrite when it comes to this. He isn't a vegetarian, he fishes, he's even done it back in his viking days, but Nikolai would never do it himself in this day and age. Or at least if it was a cute animal.
‹ Showing Emotion ;;
It is unavoidable at times, which would lead to inner cursing, but showing emotion is something the Norwegian tends to avoid if at all possible. It only shows weakness, in his mind, and that is not safe around the people he spends his time with.
PERSONALITY:[/color]
Most people would say that Nikolai was the distant type after meeting him. The type of person to be a loner in large crowds and even the type to wish themselves away from human contact. This is almost true. The Norwegian tends to leave a bad first impression at most the world conferences but somehow he doesn't mind being alone most of the time.
There are very few people he will hang around, the types of people he knows whose personalities match his own. That way it can seem like you're alone without the lack of companionship. Usually, the only ones who can stay quiet long enough are his own brother and a very select few other nations.
There is also the majority of the nations, the ones who tend to see a more stricter side of the man. Nikolai is not the babysitting type so he likes to separate himself from anyone who seems less than capable of surviving without someone to push them along. The best example for this in his own mind is Danmark, the idiot nation who likes to attach himself to the Norwegian. Nikolai tends to go to great lengths to establish space between the two, even other nations as well. The only other ones the blond can say share equal annoyance with the Dane are Gilbert, Alfred, and possibly even that one Korean at times.
Even past the outer shell he's built around himself, there is a side that almost no one ever sees of this man. A more kinder side, if that's even a good word for it. Then again, kinder for the Nordic is simply just not ignoring someone for once. But no, this is in fact, nice. Unfortunately, the two most recent people to see this aren't even people. Birger and Einar are usually the only ones to see the ghost smile and most people don't even believe they exist.
STRENGTHS:[/color]
‹ The Violin ;;
His favourite instrument and most practiced. He only knows how to play a few compositions by heart but with a sheet of music in front, Nikolai could play just about anything. Given it was a peaceful song, at least. He doesn't care much for speedy songs.
‹ Upperbody Strength ;;
An attribute picked up from his past, this type of strength comes in handy around Danmark. Considering the Dane is twice his size and likes to throw himself at the smaller man, Nikolai's evading is the only thing to keep him from using force.
‹ "Cursing" ;;
Or more, making people belive he's cursing them. It is true that he and England share in power for the dark arts but at the same time, Nikolai gets some form of amusement watching people freak out after muttering a few words in a dead language, making them believe it was some sort of spell. It's a much cleaner way of making people avoid him.
‹ Tuning people out ;;
This is Nikolai's favourite strength of his. He could swear that he'd have a much lower IQ if he had to listen to half the drabble that comes out of most his aqqaintances mouths.
WEAKNESSES:[/color]
‹ Cute things ;;
A guilty pleasure of his that can be easily taken advantage of if you happened to know about his obsession with pink, stuffed rabbits. Just about anything that can be considered cute in his eyes can get you what you want from him.
‹ Sweettooth ;;
Something not expected of the man. He is a firm believer in the 'dessert before dinner' stance and it's hard to get him to eat anything but.
‹ Building Things ;;
This is just something the man had never been too good with. Building things is Sweden's job after all. His own job is to simply critisize.
‹ Sarcasm ;;
Unfortunately, just about everything that comes out of the Nordic's mouth is sarcastic. Even things meant to be said with good intentions come out sounding like an insult.
And how it's a shame that we can't work together.
[/b][/font]RP EXAMPLE:[/color]
{-taken from a steampunk roleplay where I play bartender!Norge-}
Within Granor Great Hall, past the workers setting up for The Granor Soiree's first Masquerade ball, was a well taken care of bar meant for occupation by whomever was catering the event. This year was the Town of Zequea's very own Nordic Bar. An unoriginal name but short, sweet, and to the point.
The temporary bar was well kept enough to the point of where it looked as if no one had ever even used it before. The floors were waxed earlier on the day before, the tables were wiped down along with the chairs, everything was dusted as if there was any dust to begin with, and to top it all off, the glass's shined like diamonds. Unfortunately, among all the perfection, there was one blemish on the counter. Nikolai Korsmo, the co-owner of the Nordic Bar, was perched on the far end of the wood-top counter polishing his beloved violin. Having brought the instrument from his home, he honestly didn't want to leave it alone if the bar were broken into over the week. Even though just about everyone from the town came along with the Nordics, it was never a bad thing to be safe.
The Norwegian looked out with his face as apathetic as ever, glancing around at the cleaning going on or at least from what he could see. A sigh emitted, returning his gaze back to his possession, giving it one last wipe before deciding to put it away. The man hopped down and stepped behind the counter to place the violin in a safe place he'd found while cleaning up.
There was nothing else to do. He'd done just about all there was to do in the area he was allowed to roam with the commotion and his family skipped out earlier. The man thought at least Tino would keep him company out of pity. Nikolai was told at least one person would have to be in the bar at all times when the hall had other's inside and he just happened to end up as the unlucky, bored-as-hell soul.
Walking over to a patron's table, another perch was made of the top seeing as how the man didn't feel like disturbing either of the chairs. This bar they'd been offered was ... too pretentious for his tastes. The bar back home was a worn down piece of shit but it was what he was raised in.
Another look around with his piercing blue eyes, a headache was brewing in the back of his mind, knowing for a fact this was going to be a long week. Nikolai stepped off the table and stepped toward the frame the officials liked to call a 'door', slightly amused at the sight of Birger flying around. At least he was enjoying himself. Einar was probably outside the apparent cage for the Nordic as well, wandering above the crowds knowing him. Seemed like everyone ditched the man for more fun things to entertain themselves with.
The truth is we do.
