APH - Byzantine -oc-

Still waiting for word back on Byzantine from Hidekaz. I need a straight answer out of that man, goddammit. Obviously as I've said before, things are pretty up in the air about how Byzantine fits in Hetalia wise. In the unofficial (and god awful) independent drama cd he supposedly scripted, they're mentionned as being Mama Greece. But then he later goes on to describe her as Ancient Greece, and in the most recent profiles, he writes up Mama Greece then mentions a Byzantine under Magyar's profile like they were two completely separate characters. SO WHO KNOWS.

I hope he actually answers my email because it's driving me nuts.

Anyhoo, in the meantime I thought I'd do a neater version of my Byzantine design. Not sure if it can count as an OC as they've been mentionned in canon, but lets just say it is. In this case, he's the oldest son of Rome and Mama Greece. He was sent at a young age when his father was beginning to feel a sense of mortality to deal with administration in the eastern part of the empire. He's not an overly cheerful boy, deeply religious, tenacious and shrewd in both business and politics. He does what he can to keep himself going, especially after his father fell. He holds memory of both his parents in high regard, continuing his father's legacy as long as possible whilst treasuring the memory of his mother. When he noticed his younger sibling was beginning to forget her, he started speaking Greek instead of Latin in her memory. He was eventually killed by the Ottoman Empire.

Half tempted to do another pseudo-essay on this guy, but if Hidekaz comes back and has completely different ideas, then it'd all have been kind of pointless pff. Either way, this is pretty much how I see the "Second Rome".
