2P! Iceland is a fan interpretation of the Hetalia webcomic/anime character of "another color". He is one of the Nordics with a defining personality and somewhat defining appearance within the fandom.
His most commonly-used human name is Egil Steilsson, despite this not being an actual Icelandic name. 'Egill' would be more authentic.
Appearance
He is physically similar to his counterpart. His eyes vary from red to blue or beige. His right eye is covered by an eye patch. It looks edgy but he hates being called edgy.
His hair may vary from silver to blonde or light beige. It is occasionally seen as a light violet. He is often seen wearing some sort of jacket, either a hoodie or a red collared jacket. He may wear either a black shirt or a black turtle neck. Normally these are knitted by 2p!Sweden.
Personality
He is cheerful and optimistic, but also a bit arrogant. He likes to be friendly with people, and refuses to be a downer. He can be goofy, silly and either very naive or very clueless. It is also said he can be very creepy and affectionate at the same time, yandere, if you will. He often is calling Loki (2p Norway) Big Brother, and says that it's his way to show how much he loves and cares about them. He is very happy that he is Loki's younger Brother often he shows this in the form of interpretive dance or heartfelt breakdancing. He also speaks well and enjoys a more civilized life. He has an odd obsession with chocolate, unlike his counterpart who likes licorice. It is arguable that 2p!Iceland has a better taste in food.
He is depicted to only hate two things passionately. Memes and emo fashion. He can be dragged into large speeches about how impure, boring, and not cool these things are.
Pets
There are a few Nations who have Pets, Animal Companions, or Mythical/Folklore companions. Often, these are not transferred as a Player 2. But there are a few interpretations in the fandom, which do use these Companions.
- 2p Mr. Puffin, unlike his counterpart, is more gentlemanly. He does not curse, and speaks in a rich high class manner. He may be wearing a top hat and a monocle. He has a thick English accent according to others, sometimes it's heavy Icelandic. Other interpretations include that of a sweet schoolgirl. He stutters and frequently calls people "senpai" and says "uwaaa!!!"
Common 2P! Traits
It is common for 2P!s to be portrayed as murderous, sociopathic, and possibly insane. To most, they are a darker version of the original Nations. However, because the Original Nations can be portrayed the same way by the fandom, how much hold this has depends on the person making the story.
2p Iceland easily goes yandere crazy after finding someone he holds close, and does whatever it takes to please them. When rejected, he will go crazy and kill relentlessly. It is very illegal.
He is also great at breaking the ice at dinner parties and entering peoples homes without them noticing.
There is also the assumption that he actually hates puffins and desires to kill them all off, usually by eating them, but for some reason this seems to be more directed at 1p Mr Puffin rather than his own 2p Mr Puffin. But there are times when an author/artist makes the connection that 2p Iceland did indeed kill and/or eat 2p Mr Puffin. It is often noted that it "tastes like chicken" although it is never noted the brand.
Sometimes he is portrayed as a pyromaniac, though 2p Norway usually isn't if this is the case.
