| - Like many American icons, Uncle Sam began as a marketing gimmick. He is typically depicted in artistic renderings as a weathered, distinguished old man with the lines of age around his face, a white beard kept neatly straight and white hair which is not. He appears with some kind of a top hat, blue jacket, white shirt, and red bow-tie. When the Magic awakened, Uncle Sam Awakened. Uncle Sam knows that it is not his place to rule the United States of America (unless elected properly, which will not happen as he refuses to enter political races.) Uncle Sam is the spirit of America, and uses the considerable magical power at his disposal to bolster the country which pays him tribute. Uncle Sam appears very much like his traditional depiction. He stands as a tall man, 6'4" tall (not coincidentally the height of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States of America), with a neat white beard cropped an inch from his jawline, but without moustache. He has wispy white hair which seems voluminous yet easily blows with any wind or movement, wears a neat blue fabric duster jacket over a white shirt with a red bow-tie; his trousers are striped vertically, red, white and blue, with bright blue hems around the waist and ankles, with a white star pattern around them. His top hat is very tall, and carries the same moteif around the bottom of the bell, with a white top portion and red brim. Sam's first loyalty is to the United States of America and it's citizenry, instead of any particular political party. His politics are those which support the country most; he loudly argues against diviseness and stubbornness in the halls and speeches of politics, and will not hesitate to voice his dissent with policies that he considers detrimental to the nation or it's people, regardless of upon which side of the aisle they originate on. He is not a god of war, but he will not oppose war if he believes it to be the correct course of action. In wartime and in peacetime, economically and militarily, he uses his powers to bolster the nation at home, pursuing the health, wealth, and prosperity of the nation and it's citizenry. In personal combat he is not without recourse; his jacket contains two seemingly-normal IMI Uzis that he will not hesitate to draw and fire in defense of himself, others, or his country, but his skill in battle is not exceptional for a God of his power.
