#21 talks

(I’m sorry if any of the personalities don’t seem fleshed out enough, being honest I’m working on a lot of different stuff at once and haven’t ever properly characterised them LOL. To summarise they’re a mix of the canon crumbs of Hetadesigns that Hidekaz once gave, Tixs Ideas and [mostly] how I’ve seen each country/their citizens act.)

Serbia / RS

Obv an Asshole. He has the heart of a fighter(seen on his eye-scar which he gained from Ottoman-times), and takes loss of his precious land horribly (very greedy in that sense!). He’s hated by a lot of countries, but his main enemies in the current days are Croatia and Albania. He can be caring if he gets something worthy in return; nowadays he tries to be a little more western to get closer to that sweet sweet EU money. Huge Ego, and I mean HUGE. Shares the biggest Ego with his Enemies LOL

Croatia / HR

A more westernised asshole. He cares about how he looks, now that he’s in the EU and getting lots of tourism. He can be very charming if needed, but once he’s drunk (or high on coke) he releases his more.. careless side. Of course, he can also be ruthless on purpose, seen when interacting with Countries like Serbia and Bosnia. The "whore"-ist out of the cast.

Bosnia / BiH (I haven’t thought about making Herze honestly… this might change in the future)

Bosnia is quite the paranoid man, having arguably the most annoying neighbours in Europe. He faces a lot of struggles in life (you can guess why), which he often either drinks/smokes away. If he doesn’t turn to alcohol/cigarettes, he likes to draw triangles frantically. Of course, he’s also an asshole, but I think that’s a given for the ExYUs. He can be quite unstable at times.

Montenegro / MNE

Very lazy and tired most of the time. His sleep schedule is questionable, ranging from multiple hours to multiple weeks. When he’s not asleep, he does work on himself! He doesn’t have the success with Tourists like Croatia, which is why he doesn’t work as hard, but manages to do alright for the short hours he’s awake for.

Slovenia / SI

A greedy, but shy guy. He still holds a lot of the influence that Austria had over him long ago, wishful to be as amazing as any Central European country is in his eyes. A bit of a pushover, having been under the reign of others for long, though he is slowly working to get stronger in that sense. He’s the most western out of the ExYUs.

(North) Macedonia / MK

A happy girl, who loves nothing but dancing and drinking. Though when the illusion of optimism is broken, she can be just as much of an asshole as any other ExYU. Similarly to Bosnia, she has a ton of annoying neighbours who (when extremely drunk) claim to rule over her, which causes her to lash out. Despite all of that, she tries her best to once be in the EU (obv for monetary reasons!)

BONUS…… BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT LOLOLOL

Albania / AL

Cheerful but also a fighter! Serbias Number One Enemy right now. He can be kind, but isn’t afraid to judge anyone who gets in his way. He takes pride in what he has.

Kosova / KS

In a Rough Situation, being annoyed at the constant discourse of whom he belongs to. He’s a free spirit with a huge love for anything US-related.

Vojvodina / VD (i know she isn’t a country LOL)

(Before I talk about him, I gotta say that my main inspirations for Croatia are Hidekazs incredibly short introduction of a design, my own experiences with Croatian folk, and some historical stuff that molded Croatia (and it’s stereotypes) to be the way they are today. Of course since I’m not really croatian myself, I can’t really say how accurate I depicted him, but I hope you enjoy it anyways xaxa)

1: His general personality; Croatia is a charismatic man with a high ego. He prides himself in his newer, cleaner aesthetic that he acquired after joining the EU, though it’s mostly just a well-kept façade. Under this façade he has some alcohol and drug problems, which he only shows to other balkaners. Admittedly, the drug problem does slip sometimes when he goes on coke-induced rants, dropping his EU-branding momentarily. He is quite the asshole to most of his neighbours, of which he is frenemies with.

2: Touristic integrity; Croatia loves nothing more than his beaches. He tries his best to take good care of them so the Germans and Brits who go on Vacation in the summer are enjoying it enough to come back. Though when the summer is over, he isn’t as happy and well-adjusted as usual; with the lack of tourism he gains some sort of seasonal depression, where he gets incredibly irritable and pissy.

3: Fudbal Freak; An incredibly huge hooligan, loving this sport to death. Don’t let him get a Penalty. He will get hard. Anyways, he would fight anyone without hesitation if they say Modrić sucks. He is not afraid of giving someone a blue eye for having opposing opinions.

4. (Fr)Enemies; One of his biggest problems in Life are Serbia and Bosnia. Most of the time he’s only happy to see them when heavily intoxicated or high. Though he doesn’t like to admit it, it’s very important for him to be Serbia’s Nr1 Enemy. If he isn’t Serbias number one problem in the moment, he gets mad, but usually can’t do anything (the EU is a party pooper!), so waits till the 78th feud between Albania and him are done to finally annoy him. Bosnia is mostly just a side-hustle to annoy while waiting nowadays. All of the annoy each other.

5. EU-Buddies; Though not as close as the Ex-YUs, Croatia does have good friends in the EU. His main accomplices (next to Slovenia) are Romania and Bulgaria, whom he hangs out with every now and then. After EU-Meetings they like to go out for beers. They are often all cornered into the group of… well.. a bit odd EU members because of their behaviour, but he doesn’t care since it doesn’t affect him in the grand scheme of things.
