HETALIA CHIPS: TASTES LIKE IMPERIALISM
Please don't kill me.
Since Mr. Cold War is hoping to get his chip out and Hetalia is absolute crack, I wanted to put up what I hope to do for an event/powers so the cast can have an input if they don't agree. I'm going partly by previous agreements (I can't find the original plotting post but this was the basic outcome) but I fully realize that much of the cast is newer and have more to say.
This is all just to maintain some basic level of consistency (BUT AGAIN. HETALIA. ANYTHING GOES.) But anyway.
POWERS:
Alright, we all know Hetalia is basically "WHATEVER IS FUNNY IS POSSIBLE", but there's so much fanon/actual "powers" that can be concluded from the comics (America's super strength, England's magic, Russia's resistance to dark magic, etc). These following points were discussed in the past and seem to be consistent within the cast, but just to be sure:
✗ Immortality: ...to a degree. I've seen several others say that, in Hetalia-land, they can't die for realsies unless their culture is destroyed, land given away, etc. I would assume that some of the same basic things apply to Discedo.
However--and this is where your opinions count!--since none of the countries are connected to their people or land in Disc, I would imagine they'd be much harder to kill, but not impossible. Or, at the least, if a country were to "die", they'd be revived by the scientists before they'd naturally revive (again, this is all based on personal interpretations). THOUGHTS ARE APPRECIATED.
✗ Fast Healing: If Russia can jump out of a plane and be back on the field in no time, England can recover from (seemingly) life-threatening wounds in three days, and America can break his leg and recover quickly, I think it's safe to say that these guys get over externally-inflicted wounds quickly. What I mean by "externally-inflicted" are wounds like getting shot, stabbed, burned, etc. as opposed to wounds they'd receive due to traumatic historical events or natural disasters, like China's scar from the Sino-Japanese war.
✗ RANDOM BULLSHIT: America breaks the laws of time and space to use Google, Prussia breaks the 4th wall, and Russia eats directional arrows. I have no point to make other than it will get worse than puking bears. WELCOME TO HETALIA. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR RATIONALITY AT THE DOOR.
If there's anything else you guys want to add/contribute, let me know!
CHIP EVENT(ISH):
ALSO CALLED: THIS IS REALLY JUST AN EXCUSE TO HAVE FUN WITH HISTORY
Note: I talked to a mod about this and I think as long as I clear it with you guys, it'll be okay.
This won't affect anyone directly but America, though again, in case anyone is hellbent on something silly like consistency, I'll put this here in case anyone wants to do something similar if their character gets their chip out/if you have any other ideas.
SHORT VERSION: America will be re-experiencing history, both physically and mentally, in hyper speed throughout the "sick" week after chip removal as his body becomes accustomed to being a country again.
MEDIUM VERSION: I'm still totally in the planning process of this.
LONG VERSION: Once America has his chip removed, he'll start feeling lightheaded, extremely queasy, basic sick stuff. He'll still be in his typical 60s mindset by this point, complain, and lay down for a nap.
He's going to wake up slightly younger-looking withbetter eyesight jaundice. HELLO THERE YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC OF 1793. Or maybe I'll start at the end of the Revolutionary war I don't really know at this point.
Not that anyone cares but HERE ARE TIME PERIODS I'M HOPING TO HIT UP THROUGHOUT THE WEEK (or maybe a little longer since I doubt anyone wants me posting every day):
The War of 1812: /invades Canada's vital regions
American Civil War: the return of Sir Multi personality
American Imperialism: "AHHHH I LOVE THE SMELL OF SMALL PACIFIC ISLANDS IN THE MORNING"
World War I: so about them Devil Dogs
The Great Depression: according to O Brother Where Art Thou, people sing and reenact The Odyssey
World War II: oh hay Hetalia
The 1950s Red Scare: "YOU KNOW, JAIL ISN'T SO BAD. YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN SALEM.ALSO HAVE YOU READ THE CRUCIBLE?"
*some is subject to change because DAMN IT I WANT TO DO MANIFEST DESTINY TOO.
America will be behaving and appearing as though he's from these time periods. By that I mean, for example with the Civil War, he'll be torn apart, his body will be wrecked to hell, and worse. He'll also talk as though he's both the Union and the Confederacy and see perceive other countries from the context of his time period. Rinse and repeat with every time period.
SO WHY AM I POSTING ALL THIS HERE? Because I want to know if you guys are okay if I do this. As Parron said, this doesn't have to be the definitive chip event for other countries; we can chalk it all up to willpower, difference in countries and their history, time spent in Discedo, etc. Or we can bullshit it. Once again: this is all depending if you guys want rigid consistency or don't care. I'd like to note that I'm starting after America's independence because colonialism would a) be too much to do and b) kill everyone with the cuteness of Babbymerica. If anyone wants to do something similar, go ahead and start from whatever time period you like/feel comfortable with/what have you.
I FEEL LIKE I HAD MORE TO SAY BUT I'M GOING TO LET YOU GUYS SPEAK NOW. INPUT PLZ.
And for the record, America won't be getting his chip out until after whatever mod event is upcoming. This is just to plan in the mean time.

if Estonia gets his chip out he has to sparkle all the time
all the fucking time.
The only downside is that it will get depressing again with the Revolutionary War. Like the only time I'll probably be serious about is the Civil War
even though that is one of the most hilarious time periods BUT I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO POST ABOUT CONFEDERACY STEALING OPIUM FROM UNION god I want to play Civil War!America so badIDK WHAT DO YOU THINK ON THE IMMORTALITY THING? ARE WE GONNA GO FULL-OUT OR KILL THEM?

you know what I'd probably do with that is like. AFTER EVERYTHING'S DONE and he makes this post like 'FUCK I THINK EVERYTHING'S BACK TO NORMAL'
and then just sparkles
everywhere
with a lot of cursing and communicator-throwing
Oh god Revolutionary War. If I end up reading your post for that day combined with the Sound World CD, I can almost promise you I'm going to cry all over my keyboard, fffff
I KNOW RIGHT AHAHAHAHA america can be half high, half fucking pissed because HE'S NOT HIGHWELL LIKE. DERPDERP I think they're more resilient than humans, obvs? Like, I'd be willing to bet they're pretty damn used to wars/shooting/pain/ectectect so it wouldn't phase them quite as much.
Like. Oh derp how do I describe this
OKAY SO PERSONAL HEADCANON TIME
basically, I kind of believe that countries even in Hetalia do "die", they just don't... stay dead, per se. Like, using Estonia as a refrence, after WW2 and being recaptured by Russia, a good 1/5th of the country ended up being sent to the Gulag in Siberia for shit like that. Basically, I'd bet Estonia did actually die- but his body was kept, and he revived, though for a certain amount of time there was no heartbeat and he wasn't breathing, ectect.
By Discedo rules, they do have to be succeptable to death, I suppose- I mean, what fun would it be if we couldn't kill people off? - and the human body is going to fail after a certain amount of damage is done to it (like England and the youma attack thing; I don't think he's going to keep on living with his head torn off and the limbs and whatnot). So I'm thinking that yeah, they'd be able to die like a person, but obvs because of Discedo they wouldn't stay dead-- though it wasn't like they hadn't died before.
I really hope that made some shred of sense I CAN CLARIFY A LITTLE BETTER IF YOU NEED IT
no subject
Because that's exactly my headcanon too.
Like... I think that they can die but not stay dead too. Granted, it takes quite a bit of effort (and in my mind, some historical significance, like more than LOL SHOT BY GERMANS). At least as far as Discedo goes, whether people agree or not, I think we can agree that they can die at least long enough for the scientists to collect their bodies before they get back up again.
america will make a movie out of you, estonia
he'll call it Twilight
no subject
I feel slightly shameless for saying I totally got it from that fanfic you sent me |D
Yeah, no, I get that entirely, but I'm pretty sure they've all died at least once... plus it really wouldn't be fair if Hetalia characters didn't have to apply by scientists death rules (because if their bodies were never collected, chips couldn't be put back in when they died, ectect. It'd just be unfair.)
aldoung fgd DON'T YOU EVEN ;A; icon for relevance, sob
no subject
let me just say America's main "death" is during the Civil War. it's going to be epic. and yeah total agreement about the death rules.
BUT WHO WILL PLAY THE PART OF BELLA?
Jacob is obviously the Rail Tracer
no subject
Alright, that's awesome then /o/ agreement always works
FFFF HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW not like Estonia has any canon pairings ever derp
fffff oh god what is life
