Welcome to After Graduation! Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

You lot know me. I play Artemius Baxby. I promise -- Zimmerman's going to be more fun than him.

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.
Zimmerman comes from a long line of German tailors, which several generations ago became a Wizarding establishment as well. This Zimmerman in particular works in a shop started by his grandfather, and when his grandfather fell ill, he took up the place. He lives by the theory of viral advertising, and so, does his best to please his customers. Feeling friendly? He enjoys a good chat and has plenty of fun stories up his sleeve. More serious shopper? He has all the strict delicacies of a polished gentleman and is never overbearing on his customers. Conversation or stoic, silent companionship, he is at your beck and call, as your service is his utmost desire. Outside of work, however, he's a fun-loving fellow who absolutely adores the absurd and eccentric people of Great Britain, even if their eating habits are very strange.

What's your posting style like?
I post often, the length depending on what is called for. I do try and be descriptive, though, noting not only mannerisms, but a character's thoughts and opinions to best get the impression across of what they're doing.

What sort of plots or roleplays are you interested in? Serious or light? Long-term or short?
A bit of both. Although most RPGs may be light, in that Zimmerman is a businessman, he is also an advocate of sorts, even if his way of doing such things is more passive-agressive. He has been known to support a good cause or two, and is a very useful ally, with his connections around the world.

Fantastic! Now I hope you've prepared yourself. You're about to be bombarded with welcomes and thread requests from many wonderful roleplayers.

Cool, more characters!

So, my characterr: Astrella Snipe.

Astrella is an Unspeakable for the Ministry, and being only 28 years old for that...Well it should show something about her, and her personal life, right? She's got this thirst to know the unknown, sometimes to where it pushes her beyond the boundries of right and wrong. She has a somewhat disregard for anything that should be potentially bad from the start. That's why she sort of got sucked into making the Fourth Unforgivable. But then she went missing for some months, her memory gone, and she's only just awoken. She's on a mission to find out what happened to her, and anything else in her months of missing memory.

Kelsey Andersson - July 6, 2009 11:06 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.

Derek is more than welcome to come to Zimmerman's for a suit anytime -- I assume that, as a Ministry official, he would come by often for the latest fashions, in particular in Quidditch colours to show his varying levels of support. I do have an open thread in Wickliff District, if he'd like to post there. I daresay he would be a familiar customer, yes?

Apollo Sinistra - July 7, 2009 09:15 PM (GMT)
Oh I love creating to many characters! I think I already posted in one of yours but in case not – 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. Shop owners and old men – we are so having some interaction.

Apollo Sinistra: He’s a flamboyant fashion freak with a love of glitter 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. Anyway he’s a shop owner and a cloths lover – expect him to pop by or better yet just accept him already as a frequent shopper.

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. I figure he and Zimmerman have quite a bit in common with the whole being some of the older folk on the board and Zippy likely buys most his clothes from Zimmerman since Sinistra while offering a great discount doesn’t do tweed unless its in fashion. Let me know if you have any other back story ideas. Please feel free to come up with some!

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. Her family probably shops there but dunno about more than that. Open to ideas.

Ah, Apollo... I've been waiting for you.

Yes, I think accepting them as longtime customers would be good, but I'm sure he'd grimace at the amount of glitter you leave all over his shop.

Still. This should be an insanely amusing situation. I'm having one of the mods put in a forum for the shop -- if you'd like to write an encounter, let me know. PM me and I'll start one for us.
