Yo. I know another story. Well, this is actually a background of the OC's that I have used in my stories that include Hetalia. This isn't really historically accurate, but I try to make it as much as I can. The background info of my characters includes their personalities, interests, their past, their relations to other countries, and (if they have any) how they meet their…love interests. There isn't really a specific order that I put them in; everytime I add in a new character for my stories, I will put them in here. The chapters will be told from the designated character's pov. I own nothing except my OC's. T for some language that may be used. May contain light fluff. ENJOY~

Note: This and my other stories may take time for me to update, so bear with me. Also, I need reviews as support to keep them going.

Ch. 1: Casie Aurora of Iran

Hi, my name is Casie Aurora but I am mainly known by the country I represent, Iran. I am about 4'10" with light brown, mid length hair and orange eyes.

People see me as a kind, sweet, and gentle soul, but if you get to know me a little better, you will see that I also have a more violent, strong, and mischievous side to me. Hey, I may be a nice person but in my country, you need to keep your guard up if you're a solder; especially with Iraq as your neighboring country.

I never really had any time for my self, since I need to keep an eye out for Iraq, but one thing that I always love to do is spend time with my friends. I also like to sing to myself at times when I feel sad or (on rare occasions) when I'm scared.

I was recognized as a nation and an empire around 625 BC. During this time, my country was actually known by a different name, the Persian Empire, a.k.a, my grandfather. (Not Prussia, Persia. Just incase you didn't know, they are two different countries.) The people in my country were split into tribes, some wanting to conquer others. When one empire rose, others tried to overthrow them. Soon, they started moving to and conquer other civilizations such as ancient Egypt, overthrowing Dynasty XXVI. However, the conquer of ancient Egypt, Cambyses II, became ill and perished while or before leaving Egypt.

The successor, Darius I of Persia, rebuilt a canal between the Nile River and Red Sea, which is present day Suez Canal. He also improved the road system. The Persian Empire became the largest during that time under the rule of Cyrus and Darius the great. The Persian Empire represented the world's first super power.

Although, during 499 BC, the Greco-Persian war was carried out. Even though my grandfather made major advances, after a string of Greek victories, they couldn't help but withdraw and lose control over Macedonia, Thrace, and Ionia. The war ended with the peace of Callias in 449 BC. After Darius died, Egypt began to rebel and the Egyptian pharaohs later resisted their attempts to regain Egypt.

Later, during 334-331 BC, the accursed Alexander the Great defeated Darius III. From then on, other ancient civilizations such as the Roman Empire tried to take us on…wait, now I'm getting off track; I was actually talking about my grandfather. Heh, sorry bout that.

Anyway, let's skip to the 10th century, when I was old enough to defend myself. My grandfather's name was passed on to me. During that time, the Turks conquered a part of Afghanistan as well as some of my own land. They slowly conquered my country over the 11th century. Soon, they began to spread to central Asia and the Middle East through out the 11th to 14th century. Other countries took advantages to expand into my land. If that wasn't enough, the Mongols had to come and attempt to invade us. Then they had to command China to bomb us while they invaded. Even though the Mongols accepted Persian culture, the invasion results were horrible. Many sixth century libraries were burned, mosques were replaced with Buddhist temples, and the total population in Persia had dropped from 2,500,000-250,000 as result of mass extermination and famine.

Moving forward to the 18th-19th century, European countries such as Great Britain, France, and Imperial Russia established footholds over my country. Then, in the 20th century, discovery of oil intensified the rivalry between Britain and Russia for control over my country.

Once WWI ended, I was finally admitted into the UN as an original member. Then in 1935, I was recognized by my native name, Iran; although, in 1959, it was announced that I would be known by both names.

During WWII, despite my countries neutrality, Reza Shah's support for the Nazis was too much for Britain and Russia. Then in 1941, Reza was forced to exile in South Africa were he died in 1944. In 1943, at the Tehran Conference, Britain, Russia, and America signed the Tehran Declaration, accepting my country's independence.

In 1980, Iraq's president Saddam Hussein attempted to grab hold of Khuzestan province, clamming it was a historic part of Iraq. Due to the miscalculation, an eight year war with 500,000 people that ended up dead on each side was the horrible results. Even though Iraq was better equipped and supplied, Iran could draw on a larger population. We forced back Iraq in July of 1982 but the war dragged on for another six years in attempt to occupy part of Iraq. It ended soon after the US Navy shot down an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf. Iran ended as the victor but since they failed to overthrow Suddam, the war ended in a stalemate.

Khatami won the presidency in 1997 in a landslide. Everyone was shocked, even though he was a liberal by Iranian standards; he was also an insider that held important posts during the Iran-Iraq war who also served as a minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance for 10 years until a forced resign in 1992 for being too liberal. Harsh laws on social interaction and dress were no longer strictly enforced and the women embraced make-up, hair color, and figure-hugging with enthusiasm. In 2001, he was re-elected and everyone hoped for the best, but what he wanted and what Majlis were able to deliver were completely different. Then more than 35% were vetoed by the Guardian Council. The backlash continued with Reformist intellectuals being assassinated, students beaten for protesting, dozens of reform-minded newspapers were closed and editors were imprisoned.

Then in 2004, things became easier and women gained more freedom.

Quite an interesting country, huh? Ok, well that ended my brief history lesson, there's much more but…kinda…too much info. So, moving on to my relations. First, let's start off with Iraq, my cousin and rival, our relations weren't good at all since the war but it got…a bit better after Suddam died in 2003. Israel, from close friendship to severed ties, Iran no longer recognizes the Israeli government. Libya and Syria are two of the very few countries that actually supported me during the Iran-Iraq war. Sudan, Japan, both Korea's, Germany, Brazil, Georgia, and Belarus are some of my friends. Kazakhstan, Italy, and Switzerland are some of the countries that participate in trade with me. UK, France, USA, China, and Russia have some what of a neutral or wavering relationship with me. China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and South Africa had historical relations with me at one point.

On a personal opinion, Iraq still bugs me as well as Israel, besides them, everyone else seems to be fairly nice. If it weren't for war or the economy, I think that everyone would get along nicely, if they would even try. Libya, Syria, North and South Korea, Kazakhstan, Japan, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Georgia, China, and Russia have a growing relationship with me since the war ended.

Although me and Russia had off and on relationships during the war, we did have a long history together, as early as the 17th century. During the war, our countries would either be at war with each other or his country will be invading mine. But in the later years, our countries have started to get along again, lately I have started going into an alliance with Russia and China. Russia and I have started to repair our relationship and ties, which makes Natalya of Belarus a bit…unhappy.

The next chapter will be about how Iran and Russia first meet and about their relationship. There will be two chapters designated to each character, if I decide to.
