Canon Application
My name is Cheruann and I am 16 years old. I want to join this site because I am the amazing creator and I have the privileges of being on here. Simply because I’m that awesome. Don’t be hatin’. I have been roleplaying for eight years and I normally post between the 300-1500 mark. Here is my application:
Name: Alfred F. Jones
Age: Appears to be nineteen
Appearance: Alfred has bright golden hair which has often been compared to the golden fields of grain renown through his nation. His eyes are wide with curiosity for more knowledge and new wonders, taking on a beautiful bright blue which seems to shine a light of curiosity. His body is rather fit, bigger built than many of his fellow nations with a slightly square jaw though his cheeks still adorn the fat of childhood. Power is held within his body, fit and strong though not too muscular. Alfred normally wears a large bomber jacket over his clothes, which could easily conceal the many firearms that he constantly carries around with him. He also adores wearing a cowboy hat around his neck, always wearing his bomber jacket and hat with a bright grin which seems to be incomparable in the genuine vibes that comes from his grin. If it was not his jacket that first drew attention to the exuberant American, then it would certainly be either the lenses that sits in front of his bright blue orbs, which he fondly calls Texas or the ever persistent ahoge that defies gravity at all costs, which he names Nantucket.
Personality: Alfred is always of good intentions though the mannerisms in how he acts upon these good intentions are many times overbearing and nerve grating. When one does not step up to the plate of a leader, then this young man will be more than glad to take up the position, forcing his ideals upon others and normally never listening to what others say. Yet, one cannot deny that his enthusiasm is rather infectious and that it would not seem right if he was not in front of the table, sharing his many time idiotic ideas. Alfred usually cannot read the atmosphere around him and is rather dense when it comes to other’s emotions, but this does not make him completely ignorant. He can pick up on slight signs and is not cold enough to pretend that these emotions do not exist though he normally use his constantly bubbly attitude to help cheer the other person up. What he does not know is that this normally makes a person more frustrated.
Despite his inability of commonsense and loving to run headlong in any kind of danger, living up to his love for heroism, Alfred is rather an intelligent man when it comes to the sciences and mathematics. It does not take much for the young nation to simply build an engineering wonder or a new ingenious innovation with his naturally genius mind, but he does have many weaknesses. One such thing is his usage of the English language, enjoying to change the Queen’s English to make it “more awesome” as he loved to say and not only this, but his geographic skills is rather lacking. To the point where the world maps could very well be just the United States.

Backstory: Alfred and Matthew were abandoned when they were young, so the origins of their parents are unknown to the both of them . The head of the village ended up taking them in under his care and raised them fairly, but because of their abandonment, neither of them knows their true age. The village believed that they were about a year old when they were found in the wilderness, which was eighteen years ago. Alfred felt that the surname, Jones, was much more interesting than the surname that Matthew was suggesting, hence the reason as to why their last names are different due to their inability to agree on a single surname.
As they grew up, Alfred discovered his fascination with firearms as Matthew discovered his abilities as a summoner. They were both encouraged to pursue their talents and since they are still young, their skills are always rapidly improving. When the twins turned twelve years of age, Alfred began to grow bored with the village and desired something more, to discover more. In order to satisfy his ever hungry desire for exploration, Alfred eagerly decided to leave the village but knew that it would not be right without his twin. So with some persuasion, he managed to convince Matthew to come with him on this ‘adventure’ and since the other still relied heavily on him, the shy brother quickly agreed to come with him.
After a few months, they met two young men who went by the names of Arthur and Francis, who had eagerly helped them both. Alfred immediately grew attached to the Briton, always staying by his side and soon beginning to care less about his own brother though they always seemed to share a brotherly bond in a manner. Yet Arthur soon became the most important part of Alfred’s life, always relying on him and hoping for the best and soon Matthew was just a small part of the young American’s mind.
At sixteen years of age, Alfred got into a terrible fight with Arthur that consisted of many hateful words directed at each other and sometimes even a thrown object at the older man. He was never a boy to want his freedom to be suppressed which he felt that the other had been imposing onto him and asking for unreasonable demands of him. Frustrated, Alfred decided to leave Francis, Arthur, and Matthew behind, wanting to pave his own life without the hindrance of others. Yet he could never shake the feeling of guilt from his heart.
At eighteen years old, the American finally met up with his brother again and after two years of managing to settle his inner turmoil, he finally resolved to stay with Matthew. After a heartfelt interaction, the two twins were seemingly inseparable once again and they both finally decided to go out in search for Arthur and Francis again in order to make amends for what happened in the past.
Sample Post:
Two years had passed since that fight, between Arthur and himself. The man who meant the world to him, but not anymore. Well, that is what Alfred wanted to make himself believe, but he knew that this was not the case. Arthur was still important in his life, which must have been the reason why he was still searching, the reason why he wanted to grasp on the old and embrace it close. Yet, this was no time to become sentimental.
Alfred was a spark of life, he had no time to be down because of the past. A grin came across his face, bright blue eyes lit up with mirth as he stretched his arms out and stared down at the city in the distance from the green pastures. His body was crying at him to take off the damn bomber jacket that he persistently carried around with him, but like always, he refused to take it off. It was a part of him, just how Nantucket was his ever persistent stuck up strand of hair and Texas helped him see.
Seeing his twin finally catch up to him, carrying that polar bear in his arms like always, Alfred pushed Texas up on the bridge of his nose as he prodded Kumajirou on the nose, only receiving a growl in reply.
“I still don’t see why ya’ carry that silly polar bear around. It must be so hot for him out here!” The American murmured, a laugh which could be considered as borderline annoying escaped from his lips. Before he could get a reply from Matthew, Alfred turned around and started to head towards the city with a loud “whoop”.
“Come on, Mattie! Hurry up, they might be selling hamburgers over there!” Alfred yelled, already running towards the city with more enthusiasm than ever. It was a wonder how he could fit all of those hamburgers in his stomach.
