a descriptive breakdown of Hetalia,
Hetalia is a bishounen anime, therefore all characters should be in that genre. In reprensation, it's best to chose a modern appearance, and have the appearance atleast fit the country you will portray a little. Meaning-- suits, military uniforms, or modern clothing.
To give a brief summary of 'how' to roleplay if unfamiliar with the anime, your character will basically be what a country would be if it was a real person. Meaning, the countries history would be your characters history, the countries allies would be your friends, etc and so forth. Some may think that it's dumb, or alot of people may not be involved. However, even if you're playing as the country, you will still live in your country, you will still have your own population, your own army, everything. Every country has a 'boss' that they take orders from, and they represent the country in whole.
Warfare should only be done for storyline, or to spice up the plot. No serious crap. Deaths is only if approved, and you may roleplay your country anyway you please, as well as act anyway you would like, so long as you stay within the plotline. When battling, please treat it as a 'shounen' battle. Semi-realistic. You are allowed to perform feats that normally would be considered 'impossible', for the sake of a better storyline. But magic? No. No one is also immortal, but just because someone has a gun doesn't mean the bullets will hit every shot. Have fun with your fighting, and be creative.
There is no set standards for gender between countries. If you want to rp a country that is a male in the anime, but change it to female you may.
In essence, have fun.
