Illinois (Axel Jones)

Illinois is a fan-made character for both the anime and web comic of Hetalia: Axis Powers.

His human name is Axel Jones.

Personality & Interests
Axel's got a hardworking and outgoing type of personality. He may appear to be courageous and brave when it comes to the best interests of the people who live in the state. He is said to have a fierce temper and can be a bit confrontational whenever he is angry---so much so that he often comes across as being stubborn during these instances. He does appear to become a little nervous when things are set on fire or are burning, this might be due to the traumatic set of nightmares he has had in response to the Great Chicago Fire.

His two main interests include sports & music. A couple of his favorite sports teams are the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, and Blackhawks. His passion for music often leads him to play at least 3 possible genres, depending on his mood. The three genres that he seems to be attracted to the most are: Blues, Jazz, and Rock-n-Roll.

Appearance & Looks
Axel has pale blue eyes & his hair is lighter brown in terms of its overall color. He has what appears to be an athletic, somewhat muscular build, one that is often considered to be sturdy. His bloodline is of mixed origins, because he appears to have French-Canadian in him along with some possible Native American. He does have something which is the equivalent to "Nantucket" but he will occasionally wear it, since it is in the form of eyeglasses. He does have a burn mark on his body, this is in reference to what was known as the Great Chicago Fire. He stands at about 5'7 in terms of height. His clothing tends to vary, one day he will dress in a formal style, sort of like something you'd associate with the Mafia, due to a notorious member of it having been in Illinois, and the next he could decide to wear army fatigue clothing. In the event it's the latter he will usually have pants in this style on and wear a pair of dog tags around his neck, maybe this indicates that he has some military training as well.
