View source for Gloria Hetalia (fangame)

'''Gloria Hetalia''' is a fan-produced game of Hetalia, created by the '''Gloria Hetalia Game Manufacture Committee'''. The game takes place in an alternate universe that diverges from the canon '''Chibitalia''' (and unpublished '''Shotalia''') storyline. In this setting, [[Feliciano Vargas|Italy]] is raised to become a magic-wielding priest.

It is unknown when or if the game will be completed.

==Summary (demo version)==
''Veneziano is the child loved by God. In his existence, he has been called the child of God and wields special power. He controls the mana which is the origin of all life. He can heal people if he chooses to, but he possesses the ability to destroy the world as well. The other child is [[Lovino Vargas|Romano]], deemed a charlatan and maverick. When two children have such a fate, the amount of power they hold will be enough to shake the world up.''

The game starts out with the teenage priest known as '''Veneziano''', who must train for seven days (in the full version, his training lasts a month). While training, he meets with [[Roderich Edelstein|Austria]], who informs him that he'll be working as a manager for him.

After Veneziano trains some more, Austria brings the young knight known as [[Ludwig|Germany]] to him, and states that he'll be the priest's personal bodyguard. Veneziano and Germany get to know each other some more, though Germany feels that he cannot grant the other's wish to "see the outside world" due to having to protect him

Veneziano states that he's always admired the sky from inside his "cage", and that he has wanted to fly free to that sky, as the outside world looks wonderful.

The two boys try to escape outside, but are caught by [[Gilbert Beilschmidt|Prussia]] and a few other soldiers. Prussia orders Germany to stand down, but Germany refuses, stating that Veneziano needs to be free. Prussia warns Germany that Veneziano is not an actual human, but a "Son of God" and a threat to the world. Germany doesn't believe Prussia, for he feels that they would just be killed if that was the case. 

The demo ends with Germany narrating how he promised he would set the "Son of God" free, and that at that time, he didn't know anything more about Veneziano, believing him to be an ordinary boy...

==Characters==
In the planned full version of the game, there are two "routes" to play, with different characters that appear. Both routes are divided up into a part based on '''Chibitalia''', and a part based off of '''Shotalia'''.

===Holy Roman Empire Route===
*[[Feliciano Vargas|Italy Veneziano]]: First appears in the AU version of ''Chibitalia''. He is a young priest who has been learning white magic, and is considered to be a "Son of God" due to his powers. He longs to be free and explore the outside world.

*[[Holy Roman Empire]]/[[Ludwig|Germany]]: The lowest of the German knights, HRE (also known as "Germany") becomes the bodyguard to Veneziano and aids him in his quest. He first appears in the AU ''Shotalia'' segment.

*[[Roderich Edelstein|Austria]]: Veneziano's mentor, who graduated from a Shinto priest school and who now works for the Vatican. He has a variety of taste in music, but loves the piano.

*[[Heracles Karpusi|Greece]]: A young man who can channel the magic of his ancient tribes, though he is not very strong with it. He first appears in the ''Shotalia'' section, though he does not appear in the demo.

===Spain Route===
*[[Lovino Vargas|Italy Romano]]: Veneziano's older brother. Because his power source relies on the souls of the dead, he is scorned and considered a "half-breed" and a "heretical child". 

*[[Antonio Fernandez Carriedo|Spain]]: Romano's mentor, who raised him at the request of Austria. 

===Other Characters (Shotalia part)===
*[[Arthur Kirkland|England]]: A man who is half-elf, and who worries about his half-breed condition. He promised the king of Britannia loyalty a long time ago.

*[[Francis Bonnefoy|France]]: A paladin belonging to the royal palace. He can be a sensible person as long as his mind is off of "obscene" things, though he cannot forget the memory of a certain subordinate who was killed in war.

*[[Honda Kiku|Japan]]: He lives in a faraway eastern land, said to be like Shangri-La. Though he appears to be a child, his personality and speech are like that of an old man's. He has the power to summon ''Shikigami''.

*[[Ivan Braginski|Russia]]: An assassin and man of mystery, who strictly adheres to his God.

*[[Elizabeta Héderváry|Hungary]]: A daughter of the chief of the Danube tribe, Hungary hates the knights and the religious groups who plunder the land. Though she looks very elegant, she has a fierce style of fighting.

*[[Feliks Łukasiewicz|Poland]]

*[[Vash Zwingli|Switzerland]]

*[[Wang Yao|China]]

*[[Im Yong Soo|Korea]]

*[[Gilbert Beilschmidt|Prussia]]: Appears briefly in the demo version of the game. He is one of the few who knows of Veneziano's true status, and warns HRE/Germany not to get involved in trying to "free" him.

==Trivia==
*[[Hidekaz Himaruya]] was a fan of the demo, and drew a sketch of both the Italy brothers and the older HRE (outright referred to as "Germany" in the game) to commemorate it. A common misconception is that it was created for the actual (and currently-unpublished) '''Shotalia''' storyline.

*This game subscribes to the long-held belief that Holy Roman Empire and Germany are the same character, although there appears to be no instance of memory loss or apparent death involved in this alternate universe.
