1: What is your OC’s human name and which country/city/state does it represent?
GDI I shouldn't have deleted this damn thing. >:I
Berezi Etxarte, Basque Country, Spain/France.
2: What is that character’s personality and how does it correspond to the country you wish to roleplay?
She's rather head strong and a little big arrogant at times due to the fact that she considers herself Europe's oldest citizen. If she doesn't know someone she would be alright introducing herself and chatting a bit, but will only truly open up and be friendly once they understand how she feels about her situation with freedom.
3: What are their relationships with other countries?
She's a region between both Spain and France, and has been seeking liberation from the two for a fairly long time. She does not get along with either of them because of that and loathes being called Spanish/French when she does not consider herself to be. She tends to get along with other regions who are also seeking independence or have rough relations with previous nations that owned them (I.E. - Ireland/Kosovo and such)
4a: How much do you know about the history of your character? Give us a little backstory on him/her.
HERE WE GO AGAIN. The Basque region has existed since 20,000 BCE. Both the "ancient cave drawings" are in Basque Country, the caves of Altamira, Spain and Lascaux, France. The region was unable to be conquered by ANYONE for a severely long time. The Romans merely set up non-militarized stations for travelling, and the moorish invasions that took over all of Iberia could not hold the region. It wasn't until a marriage with Castile that there was a bit of weakness, and upon a divorce, they were reconquered by Castile-Leon anyways. The French part of Basque Country (Pays Vasco) came into being after The Treaty of Pyrenees after the War of Spanish Succession. There were many instances where Basques have been mistreated by the Spanish after Spain came into being, including the inquisition. When the Carlists wars started up the Basques were mostly on the Carlist side, and during the Spanish civil war they fought for the republic. When Franco came into power at the end of the war he severely punished the Basque regions, by forbidding their language to be spoken, flag to be flown, or anything show of culture. This then created the ETA group to fight him, which originally was not a terrorist group, but as it continued to fight after Franco fell it turned to more extreme measures to try and gain freedom for Basque Country. Both Spain and France have actually gained a closer alliance to try and fight ETA. In current times most Basques do not support ETA, and although wanting freedom, want to do it politically, not by force.
