State of New York

New York, also known by his human name of Alexander Bastiaan Washington is a very high-strung and community orientated person. He cares deeply for others, and often worries about their safety, especially in the middle of a major event. He is the kind of person that calls and texts a lot, always looking out for others.

New York is also a major extrovert, and a very skilled socially. He can adapt to any conversation presented to him, and never has much trouble fitting into a community or conversation without feeling intrusive. However, this doesn't mean he is always polite, and New York will gladly fit into the "asshole New Yorker" stereotype if it gets people to leave him alone.

His humor is very dry and sarcastic, with muttered side comments. It can sometimes come off as rude, as his way of showing that he dislikes someone is very similar. But, people who know him well can differentiate between the joking sarcasm and the dislike sarcasm. While New York will tell how he feels about you to your face, he will just as easily shit-talk you behind your back.

Fun Facts and Additional Information

Physical Description

New York is five foot and physically twenty-seven. He has black eyes and curly red-brown hair that curls around his chin but doesn’t go past it.

In country form, his flag is on his face, and his body is the deep blue of the flag. His hands contain the shield from the center of his seal on them.

In human form, he looks mixed, 55.2 White-44.8 POC, based on the 2020 census (this is also a very loose definition, but I am trying to give you a good baseline for "mixed"). The largest ethnic groups are Italian, Irish, German, Chinese, Latino, and African American. New York is very mixed and racially ambiguous.

New York is slim and skinny due to his wings. He looks a little bit underweight but isn’t.

Animal Features

New York’s animal features come from the bald eagle and the beaver. He has bald eagle wings, a beaver tail, and beaver ears. He gained his bald eagle wings in 1777 with the creation of his new seal and his beaver traits in 1673 when he was captured by the Dutch. His wingspan is 13.4 ft.

Scars

New York has a faint scar of a bullet wound on the back of the head, which carried over from when New Netherlands was murdered. Despite being a death scar, it does not glow because it killed New Netherlands, not New York.

New York has a bullet scar on his stomach from where he was shot in 1855 by a disgruntled man who blamed New York for his problems. It is a death scar, meaning it glows in the dark.

Tattoos

New York has a sleeve tattoo of a forest on his right arm, which he got in 1994.

Historical Description

When New York was younger, he had brown hair and eyes, but his hair became redder as more Irish people began to move to New York in the 1840s, and it has remained a red-brown color since the 1850s. His eyes started to change from brown to black in the 1900s and have remained black since the 1960s. He has always looked slightly dark in complexion, although throughout the 1800s and 1900s, he steadily grew darker and less white.
