Alfred F. Jones
Name: Alfred F. Jones
Nation: United States of America
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Occupation: Cashier at McDonald's
Affiliation:
Superpower: Super Strength: Alfred, even from a young age, had always been stronger than the other kids at school. He was insanely stronger, able to pull cars. He even got his once, but he was fine. The car, however, had a dent. The incident was over-looked eventually, but he knew he was special. His parents seemed to want to ignore it, though. He can lift buses against his head, he sees himself as Superman, minus the laser eyes and such.
The upsides are obvious.
The downsides are simple, he can't control his strength when he's excited or angry, and has caused trouble accidentally. His pats on the back are bruising at times, and his grip on doorknobs can crush the metal. The power can be more of a burden than blessing, but he is optimistic about it.
Alfred, even from a young age, has had inhumane strength, he could lift buses above his head as if they were mere books, his punches were deadly, he'd just always

Personality: Alfred is a very cheerful young man full of pride for his country, and courage for anything that rears itself as a threat. He's a very friendly person, often trying to make friends with everyone but often coming off as a very obnoxious and self-centered individual with leaves him with more enemies than friends. He's loud, proud, and very vibrant in his personality and thus usually is annoying someone some way or another, whether it be on purpose or accident. Diligent types tend to strongly dislike him, but he puts on a front that says he doesn't care what others think of him, as long as he's got one friend by his side he's happy with that! Those who he's friends with, he holds them dear and does his best to stay on their good sides.
The University Student is a very justice-driven man, he agrees with what's right and is always willing to lend a hand out to those in need no matter what they are. He doesn't see gender, race, or care for fist impression notices, if someone needs help he'll help them. If your poor and filthy, he wont stick his nose in the air and walk off, no, he'll sit down and talk with you and be sincerely interested. He loves helping others even if it takes time out of his busy schedule, he won't think twice about offering to help an old lady across the street, or to offer to take bags away from a busy mother and accompany to her car or home. He's just got a kind heart no matter how obnoxious he may come off.
When a dark cloud is shrouding everything, Alfred is the one trying to cheer everyone up, he always sees a glimmer of hope. He is very optimistic, the glass is always half full in his eyes. Why just look at the bad things when there's plenty of things to be grateful for? He's always looking at the better things, and tries to get others to, too! Sure, this can annoy some people but it won't stop him from still trying to cheer others up in hard times. He'll crack jokes, throw out sincere compliments, do whatever he can.
Some people think he's a huge idiot, he's called that quite a lot by people who don't exactly like him, and in honestly he can be an idiot. He's terrible at reading the atmosphere, he ruins things because he doesn't often think things through, he can't take subtle hints, he does stupid and daring things to show off, the list goes on. But it can be because of his childish side wanting others to notice him. He is very childish, he has a need to want attention from everyone around, he loves being in the lime light and having others look at him. It's conceited, but he feeds off attention of others in a way, he's just not camera shy and it shows.
Despite the fact he can come off as stupid, it's best not to underestimate him. Yes, he does stupid things, but he does have common sense. He does know when he's crossed the line, it may take him a while to realized he's really did something stupid but when he does realize it, he'll usually apologize and try to make it better. Unless he just doesn't like you, then he'll probably just laugh sheepishly and walk away. He has no problem apologizing when he knows he should. He's a warm-hearted guy, a bit dorky because of his love for comics, superheroes, and things like that but nonetheless he is very kind and you couldn't deny that. He can be serious, and when he's serious you know something is up, he's often care-free so seeing him serious is surprising. But when he is, he does a personality switch. He's calmer and takes orders much better, and deals them out.
Alfred is very sporty, he loves sports. His favorite is Football and Baseball, he's played a lot of sports but the two are is favorite. He prefers Football, but baseball is fun when he's playing it. It's a little slow in watching a game, so he prefers to play it. He has a love for the Paranormal, and even claims he has met an Alien by the name of Tony. He has no proof an no one believes him, but he is dead serious. Despite the fact he loves horror movies, they terrify him to the extreme. He'll often demand someone watch a movie with them, then cling to them and scream like a baby. But if the person offers to turn the movie off, he'll threaten to kill them if they do so. Of course he's joking about killing, but it's best not to turn it off. He loves the movies, but they are also a fear of his. Despite his belief in the Paranormal, he does not believe in the British fairy junk, it's stupid.
Alfred is pretty darn self-centered, he can be a very bothersome brat if things aren't going to his liking, coming off as a childish nine year old instead of a nineteen year old. He isn't known to cry (though, when people put out all of his flaws endlessly he will start to cry, but no one knows that except his brother (A/N: will change if the Canada doesn't want to be brothers)). He has a lot of pride, he doesn't think anything he does can go wrong even though a lot of times it does, he thinks his plans and ideas are better than everyone else, and when he's grouped up with others he's always the one who wants to talk, often ignoring others if they want to throw out an idea, thinking and saying it's not as cool as his ideas.
In a nutshell, Alfred is a very friendly, cheerful, up-beat individual unless he doesn't like you. Then he's purposely annoying.
Likes:
Ice cream; The best treat in the world, he loves ice cream and it is a food that can cheer him up!
Hamburgers; Best food you'll ever taste, Alfred always has one on him, he seems to pull them out of thin air sometimes. They are unhealthy, but he sees them as salads on buns! Besides, he couldn't stop eating burgers if he tried!
Milkshakes and Fries; Best combination ever, he loves dipping his fries in vanilla and strawberry milkshakes, it sounds nasty but don't kick till you try it!

Scary Movies; Horror themed movies are epic! He loves them to death, even though he gets so scared he feels like he could piss his pants
Video Games, Comics; Alfred is a hardcore gamer, he could stay up three days straight just playing scary video games. He also loves reading superhero comics, he loves 'em!
Dislikes:
British Food; Though he once thought French and British food tasted the same, now Alfred dislikes British food. He finds it bland and absolutely tasteless, and when it does have a taste it's... Sickening.
Cold Weather; Alfred dislikes cold weather, he even tries hibernating like a bear during the winter season. Warm seasons are so much better, the cold just gets you sick!
Weight Comments; Alfred dislikes weight comments, he truly, passionately, seriously hates them. They actually hurt his feelings and makes him feel self-conscious to the point he's working out.
Ghosts; Despite the fact he watches scary movies, he hates ghosts! You can't hit them ore anything, they just posses you then try and throw your body off a building or make you do un-Hero like things!
Marmite; It's freaking disgusting! It's even scary in some ways. Alfred hates the stuff and would rather starve than eat it! Who would eat it?! Oh yeah, the British.
Not Being The Center of Attention; Alfred can become quite fussy when someone has stole the attention from him, he likes making others laugh and when others are looking at him, but when he isn't the center attention it's just no fun!
Not Being A Hero; When others call Alfred a fake hero and such, it's aggravating! He is a hero, and even has the super strength to prove it. He's saving the day one step at a time, they just don't see it!
Fatal Flaw: Oblivious; At times, Alfred is just completely and utterly oblivious to things around. He can't read the mood, he can't take subtle hints, he doesn't always know when things are leading to trap or danger. He means well with what he does, but his obliviousness can make him look more self-centered and idiotic than he actually his.

Roleplay Sample:
It was a bright and sunny day, warm with just enough of a breeze to make the weather perfect, few clouds littered the sky, and the sun looked absolutely beautiful. Children were running around playing with balls or on the playground, parents were chatting with each other, and others were just soaking up the peaceful hour of the day. The site alone brought a wide grin on the Americans face as he balanced a couple text books on his head, arms out stretched as he tried to walk a straight line without having the books fall off, and he was doing a good job at it, until he heard a certain British man's voice, causing him to jump slightly, the movement alone causing the books to fall of, one hitting his foot and the other landing flat o the ground, making a rather loud 'Thump' noise.
"Alfred! School text books are ]not meant to be treated so carelessly, and look; you dropped them! You wanker, have more respect for school books." Arthur lectured, sighing and shaking his head before facepalming.
"Dude, take a chill pill and chilax! And you made me drop them," Alfred started, a small pout on his face for getting lectured. "But no harm done, other than you causing my foot to hurt!" he said, leaning down and picked the books up, waving the smaller one around in front of Arthur. "But the Hero will be alright~"
"Grow up, wanker. Your weird Hero fetish is worrisome, and quite disturbing if you ask me." Arthur said, rolling his green eyes.
"Ha ha~ No one asked you~" Alfred said, shrugging his shoulders. He yawned before pulling a burger out of his backpack and munching on it, beginning to talk about how awesome soccer was, but his words were not understandable, he was talking with a full mouth.
"I can't understand a damn thing you're saying, swallow before you talk!" Arthur barked, whacking the American over the head.
Alfred rubbed the spot and swallowed, laughing loudly. "Dude, totally not my fault you can't, like, understand words of a Hero, maybe you should get your ears clean, or your IQ checked!" he said, sticking his tongue out.
Arthur grimaced seeing food specks on Alfred's tongue, but quickly turned red with anger. "Are you doubting my intelligence? You of all people? Have you looked in the mirror?"
"Yeah, everyday!" Alfred said blinking. "I look heroic!"
Arthur face-palmed again.
"Ha ha~ You're starting to remind me of Luddy!"
Arthur dragged his hand down his face slowly and glared at Alfred. "Will you just shut up and go away? You're giving me and Mint a headache..."
"Aww, but I was here first, dude! ...Mint? Dude, are you all there in the head...?" Alfred asked, raising a brow curiously before just shrugging it off. "Doesn't matter~ Oh, but hey, can I borrow ten bucks for McD's?"
