The Germanic Family Unit (Human!AU ideas)
Germania (Daddy Dearest): The silent father figure who has the power to royally scare the shit out of family members with the power of Parental Intimidation. However, is also massive softie on the inside. Tends not to get involved in family scuffles unless called for - far too busy wondering where he went wrong and judging everyone in the room.
Germany (Little Brother): Younger version of silent father figure, though takes an extremely important role in breaking up family scuffles, causing nigh-constant stress and irritation. How he has not gotten an ulcer is the subject of family mystery and intrigue. Is the predominant family cook and shoulders nigh all responsibility himself.
Prussia (Older Brother): Likes to believe he is the'Germany' of the family, but the bare fact of the matter is - he isn't. To his credit, he does pitch in when needed and, when he puts his mind to it, can accomplish amazing feats of familial awesomeness. However, this tendency is juxtaposed with his far more frequent behaviour as the family scuffle-maker and stress-producer to both Father Figure and Younger Father Figure. He is also very afraid of being pushed aside and left out in favour of his older sibling.
Austria (Cousin): The 'Nagging Aunt' who descends upon the main family unit without any warning whatsoever and usually with explosive consequences. It is nigh impossible to please said Aunt Figure, who makes it his job to find some fault or another with something or someone. However, much of his nagging comes from a strong fear of being forgotten or ignored by the main family unit - a trait he ironically shares with Prussia, though neither see it. They squabble too much.
Netherlands (Cousin): The 'Silent Uncle' who smokes a lot and gives short utterances of dubious and very, very specialised and/or inappropriate advice to his relatives. In spite of this, he is the one most go to for emotional support or stress ventage - he is very good for the latter especially, mostly because of the weed.
Liechtenstein (Little sister): Adorable only girl in the family literally everyone adores and dotes on in their own ways. Despite her kind personality, she is not above mercilessly exploiting this for her own personal benefit. The two older brothers in particular are suckers for her charms.
Switzerland (Cousin): More vocal 'Uncle' type figure to his younger relatives who typically remains outside of family scuffles on principal, though is fiercely protective of all of them and is not above taking merciless action against anyone who does them harm - most frequently Little Sister.
Sweden (Distant Cousin): The Silent Uncle type who lives far away, doesn't visit too often, but sends lots of gifts to compensate - most of which are hand-made by himself. Very caring towards his relatives despite having clearly inherited the Parental Intimidation move from his uncle. It is actually because of Daddy Dearest that the others aren't bothered by his expressions. Also very effectively takes on the Advice Guru role when needed - making him an ongoing rival of sorts to his Silent Dutch Cousin.Thankfully, seeing as the two rarely meet, there is little conflict.
