Germany/CS Presents

**Careful! This page may contain spoilers for all CS Presents entries. Read at your own risk!**

During the first three entries of CS Presents, Germany has a very different role than usual, acting as one of the main antagonists in each of them. In the fourth and fifth entries, however, he takes a much more familiar role as the deuteragonist, just like in the main Country Stories series.

## Chaos

    During Chaos, Germany takes the role of leading the Central Powers, comprising Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire.

In the 1914-1918 period, he is shown as a 25-year old man who retains familiar traits of his such as his pale skin, his short brown hair, perfectly parted in two halves, and his ice blue eyes; however, it is worth noting that aside from his hair being much more combed back and barely covering his face, his eyes exude a cold and menacing gaze, known back then as the 'germanic look.'

During the story, it becomes clear that this Germany differs greatly from the main series' sweet and caring boy. The Germany presented in Chaos is a cold and calculating man who has inherited to heart the teachings of his father, Prussia; he has no time for things such as camaraderie or relaxation, for he enjoys being a full-time military man who can fend off for himself, and even his passtimes are closely related to combat and discipline. While on the outside he shows himself as a honorable man who has his feet on the ground and takes a rational approach to things, the truth is he's a raging fire who can become very dangerous in one of his anger attacks, and won't hesitate about ditching his allies once he feels they're failing him. Even with all these traits, nevertheless, he still upholds his morals and won't go overboard on anyone he thinks doesn't deserve it.

### Role

Germany's first appearance on Chaos happens during **Formations**, where he is first shown being asked for help by Austria-Hungary after the attempt on their life, trying to calm the amalgam down as they plot every single way to possibly kill Serbia; in the end, Germany offers AusHun a 'blank check' as a way to back up their actions in case everything goes wrong. Later, he is confronted by United Kingdom about his position regarding the crisis, and while he at first reassures UK about his disposition to strive for peace, Germany in the end helps AusHun write the 'impossible ultimatum', and caves in in favor of war after being confronted by UK a second time, persuaded by AusHun regarding his ambitions in the Rhine, now becoming a belligerent in the Great War.

Germany's now full involvement in the war is shown in **Schlieffen**, in which he picks up the military plan of the same name to use it against France once and for all; they faced each other for the first time in August of 1914 using words only, with France remarking how much he annoys her and how he is just a copy of his father Prussia, with Germany rebutting every single one of her remarks; the conversation ends with France telling him that he was exaggerating her military movements, and it was ridiculous to go to war over it, Germany on the other hand doesn't back down and tells France he will go ahead with his plans, leaving France no choice but to personally accept his war declaration. A few days later, he moved on to attack Belgium, showing no mercy on him once the smaller country refused his demand to let Germany through his territory, officially starting his offensive actions.

## Trivia

* During Chaos, Peace Out! and Chaos 2, his human name is "Volkner Adler"; Volkner means "people's defender", while Adler simply means "eagle". This name was carefully picked by Prussia for him in order to perfectly embody what he wanted Germany to become.
	+ During BIFF, West Germany's name switches to the much more familiar "Lukas Klein", while East Germany adopts the name "Lea Bauer". Lea means "weary" or "tired", while Bauer means "farmer" or "peasant", a name chosen by herself based on the world that surrounded her.
* During Chaos and Peace Out!, his designated oshi mark is the chess piece (♟️)
	+ During Chaos 2, his oshi mark switches to the cross-bone skull (☠️)
	+ During BIFF, West Germany's oshi mark becomes the car (🚗), while East Germany's oshi mark becomes the pile of books (📚)
