Title: Lost Girls Don't Cry
Description: completely irrelevant to Coraline Depyr

Welcome to After Graduation! Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?
You can call me Corrie, just like my character. I've had her for six years and after she graduated at another site, I miss playing her. So what better way to bring her back than at After Graduation?
We love you already. <3
Now that you've told us about yourself, why don't you tell us about your character? Here's a quick summary sheet to make it easy.
Describe your character in less than a paragraph.She likes people to think she's a cold hearted bitch, but unfortunately, Coraline has a conscience.
What's your posting style like?It's various. Depends what mood I'm in and whether I'm focused on writing really well, or just having a lot of fun. Sometimes (especially when I start threads) I focus on my style, but other times I focus on my character more. I do enjoy describing what my character is doing and leaving a bit of confusion (I hope!) about exactly what their (her) motives are. Nobody likes knowing everything, do they?
What sort of plots or roleplays are you interested in? Serious or light? Long-term or short?ALL OF THEM. I'm not fussy. If it's long term, I like it to be spread out over a few threads, though. Bit more chance to interact with other people that way, I think.
Fantastic! Now I hope you've prepared yourself. You're about to be bombarded with welcomes and thread requests from many wonderful roleplayers.

Welcome to AG. I daresay Griselda might have a little fun with you... She likes to think of herself as kind of evil. And Artemius isn't always as emo as he sounds. Eventually he'll get over things and be more fun.
As of yet, I have two characters: Artie and Griselda.
Artemius Baxby is a disillusioned young man whose world quite literally fell apart during the dreaded week. His mother, Elaine Baxby, a trained healer, is in particular a highly seasoned lycanthropologist. For many years, she had a Welsh cottage by the sea (hidden in the Muggle village of Tywyn) that was a converted bed-and-breakfast. It did not hold vacationers, however -- instead, it was home to newly changed lycans (since the whole family has a rule to not refer to them as werewolves, seeing the cruel and animalistic and unfair connotations with the word and "creature" in Wizarding society) and houses them as they adjust to this new way of life, providing them shelter, a loving family setting, Healing care, a sheilded, guarded forest for transformations, as well as the Wolf's Den -- a privately owned cafe that is reserved only for denizens past and present of Baxby Cottage and others of the same affliction. His father, a broker of sorts, also had a workplace in the midst of Tywyn, but when the magicless week came, both were discovered by Muggles and destroyed -- Blake Baxby did not survive, and after a month or so of recovery, Artie and Elaine are managing through her working at St. Mungo's and Baxby getting a boring, yet fairly well paying security job at the Ministry. His change in favours has him rather bitter, and you're liable to hear him grumble about bureaucracy over a rum and cola after hours at the Leaky Cauldron, toting pamphlets to raise money for a new Cottage, or blearily standing guard in the halls of the Ministry.
Griselda Campbell, on the other hand, is completely different. Bright and flamboyant, she exudes sexual confidence, and is often flaunting her ill-gotten fortunes -- she's the author of such novelists as Scottish Rose, Gaelic Geisha and Nile Queen. Unfortunately, before she was a successful novelist, she was a horrid gossip columnist, hidden under a pen name until she was pointed out by her former friend and now hated rival, Rita Skeeter, and had to flee the country for the sake of her name. Now, she is a cougar, preying on the young wizards of England, keeping an eye out for the subject of her next juicy, evil column...

Welcome to AG!
I've only got one character at the moment, an Unspeakable for the Ministry.
Astrella Jessica Snipe is headstrong, intelligent, and has a thirst to know the unknown. That's why she worked so hard to become an Unspeakable, and how she got sucked into creating the Fourth Unforgivable. But now, she's missing months of her life from her memory. The last thing she can remember is being in the Department of Mysteries working on a way to sabatoge the abomination that was the Fourth Unforgivable with Logan Fletcher.
I suppose Coraline and Astrella could know each other through work, or that of repuation, anything. :) I'm always up for threadding. :lol:
Coraline Depyr - June 25, 2009 02:17 AM (GMT)
Artemius - hummmm. Bitter security guards are kinda fascinating. Could be a "what the hell is wrong with you? why are you always so mopey?" thread there.
Griselda - OH MY GOD. Coraline would hate her! Not because of what she does, just from jealousy and out of competitive spirit. If they were going to be in the same place at the same time, she'd ditch the jeans, get dressed up and flirt with people purely to irritate Griselda. I can see fun times between these two if they ever meet.
Astrella - Coraline would definitely have made it her business to know of Astrella, and would want to know her better, since she wants to become an Unspeakable herself. Networking, you know.

:) Sounds great. I have an open thread in the Leaky Cauldron if you would want to join that, or you could start one or something. I don't mind.
Artemius Baxby - June 26, 2009 04:13 AM (GMT)
I have an open thread called
Madness and Martinis, if you'd like to join it for Griselda. As for Artemius, I have a couple of them on Level Two in the Ministry of Magic to get a feel for what all one can do with it. PM me if you want to start something with Artie, but feel free to post in Martinis if you're interested.
Kelsey Andersson - July 6, 2009 11:11 AM (GMT)
Hey I'm Jemma...
I've currently got two characters here:
Kelsey Andersson: Kelsey is smart, nice, thoughtful, patient, sensitive, and likes to joke around. But when she get’s past her pressure point, she will explodeswith anger. She's ambitious, helpful and caring with it comes to toher people. By nature, Kelsey is an academic. She loves to learn. At times, Kelsey is reminded of her past and then becomes depressed; but this does not happen as much since she worked at Beauxbatons in France for over a year. When it comes to love and romance, she falls in and out of love very quickly, at her age she should be looking for a man to settle down with...but Mr Right has not yet arrived. Kelsey is the youngest of two girls (sister is Mattie Andersson) and is cousin to Nessa and she is currently working on Level Three of the Minsitry as a member of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad.
Derek D'Ambrosio: Derek is a six foot and 2 & half inches tall guy, with large hazel-green eyes; which any girl could fall right into. He has short, bed-messy brown hair, he doesn't usually use any product unless he is on a date or something. Derek is always clean shaven, unless it is the morning after the night before. Derek is known for his athletic build and is huge smile, even though he is naturally slender, you know that he is strong. He can bench press 290 lbs and deadlift about 300 lbs and also Derek is very fast for his height. Derek has recently had to have glasses, not telling anyone...but he has chosen to have contacts. Derek is a good looking boy, but he has never really believe it. When he was younger he uses to have acne, but due to the wonders of modern medicine his skin is all clear. Derek has a few childhood scars and no holes where there shouldn't be holes. He does have one tattoo of scriptive writing; the word is 'Loyal' and it is on his left wrist. Derek is American and attended Tagetes Academy and graduated in 2014. Derek is currently the Quidditch world Cup Organizer at the Ministry.

Welcome Corrie! I’m Apollo, just coming back from a three week (or is it a month now? *shrug* no matter) long absence, so apologies for not posting here sooner. Anyway I play Apollo Sinistra, Zippy Sinistra, and Sofia Robards.
Apollo Sinistra: He’s a flamboyant fashion freak with a love of glitter, gold, shimmery things in general and the latest trend – usually created by him. He’s a co-owner of the Sinistra Secondhand Shop with his twin sister Artemis and the fashion ‘prophet’ for the daily prophet. Apollo is also a proud member of the boy’s club (Atlas, Jasper, Wendell, Will and himself). He’s pretty fun loving and knows everyone and everything that needs to be known about social scenes and fashion – oh and he’ll hit on anyone. He’s currently father’s a love child that he doesn’t know about with Carmen and well open to making more friends or offering fashion advice. Please don’t tell him Corrie melted some my little ponies, he might start to cry. Anyway open to any plotting you might see in him.
Zippy Sinistra: Apollo and Artemis’s slightly insane grandfather that is an ex-unspeakable. They retired him at a young age when he started talking to things no one else could see, which isn’t that crazy when you account he did a lot of work with trying to communicate and discover the spirit world. If you ever need a bumbling old man that has information about the world of unspeakable to talk to he’s your man. Granted you will have to wade through lots of nonsense before you get any sense.
Sofia Robards: She’s the newly made department head of aurors (one of the youngest in history) that comes from a long line of prestigious purebloods and aurors. She fell in love with one of her contacts (Wendell Darrow) and broke him out of jail then found out he died and then started dating him in his alter-ego form of Dillan Wentworth who posing as an auror. Fell in love again. Then she found out the whole Dillan is really Wendell thing and is not all that emotionally balanced to say the least. They are both workers for the ministry so there might be some sort of friendship there? Dunno that’s up to you. I am up to any ideas you might have between the two of them. Sofia’s a pureblood with an ego but wasn’t a slytherin oddly. She seemed to loyal or something. Anyway they might have to work with each other on occasion no? Just let me know.
