A Little Lunch Break
Ollivander’s Wand Shop
27 November 2027, midday
@nikhailollivander
The shop was busiest during lunch hour—especially in late November when it was cold, and people were eager to stay inside. But Julian made his visits to Ollivander’s Wand Shop when the store had been mostly cleared out. There were a few people looking at what was on display, but they looked like they were just browsing.
He watched a customer scroll through their phone, watching it nearly slip from their hands as they put it in the wand pocket instead. Julian was staying out of their way—he wasn’t here for a purchase and the displays hadn’t changed since the last time he was there. Hell, it had been a while since Julian had actually bought something from Nik.
No, Julian came once to recalibrate his wand, once to purchase a wand holster, then returned for the company and stuck around for the fascination. If he were being honest, Julian didn’t totally remember everything Nik had talked about with wands—but it wasn’t like Julian couldn’t come back and remind himself of a particular tidbit.
Julian leaned forward over the counter. “Would you want to go for lunch today? I can’t decide if I want something here or if I should Apparate home and make food.”

Wands Through The Window
Ollivander’s Wand Shop
5 November 2027
@nikhailollivander
Dierdra quickly opened the door into the wand shop, but it didn’t fizzle away the chill that had permeated into her skin from the weather.
The final matches of the season had been played, the gala finished, and a few fundraisers and exhibition matches rounded out the month of October—but with her one Patronus charm made it hard to bring her down. She was on a high that was rarely experienced for this time of year, especially because of the dementors.
Once Dierdra had made her way back into Diagon Alley for a little window shopping, half-curious to figure out what Matilda Nott was shopping for. She walked the streets of the Alley with a little more confidence, a little more purpose, a little more energy.
The shop was empty, but it made the whole store more imposing. She suddenly leaped at a sound behind her—the creak of the floorboards, the squeak of the door hinge, the shuffle of the wand boxes. “Fuck—”
Dierdra closed her eyes and shook her head, realizing that, obviously, she wasn’t exactly alone in an open shop—but that didn’t mean having company was peaceful by any means.
“Sorry, it’s—” Dierdra gave a little wave, shaking off the surprise.

Welcome to Aparecium, Kat! You have been accepted for Nikhail Ollivander. Clearly I’m excited to have you, and from the moment I heard your ideas about Nikhail, I was thrilled to have you on board. And obviously you’re a wonderful co-admin, so that’s a lovely boost as well. Check out the new member checklist, and jump right in.
Character Basics
Birthday (Age): April 14th (30)
Gender (Pronouns): He/Him
Sexuality: Homosexual
Blood Status: Halfblood
Hogwarts House/School: Slytherin
Occupation: Wandmaker/Owner of Ollivanders
Faceclaim: Sidharth Malhotra
Any requested changes? Just that I want to make him part Indian. Which would match the faceclaim and name changes. I love the idea of his mother having been a Patil.
Biography:
Nikhail was born to two loving parents who wanted nothing more than for him to take over the family business of making wands. He spent his childhood running through gardens with his younger sister and listening to wandlore from his grandfather. He loved those days the best when he would run free and wild and then get to just sit and listen to story after story of how his family each learned to make wands. He knew he loved wands even then but there was always something in him that fought against his name. He didn’t want to run the business even then and he told anyone who would listen to such a young child that he would never be a wandmaker.
When he went off to school he was sad for a time to be away from his family. He had lived a sheltered life until then and he felt out of place and awkward among the other children. He was sorted into Slytherin though he had wished for Ravenclaw. He learned to thrive slowly though and he made several good friends. Though he still missed his family and he wrote home to request more stories of wands and all that went with them. His grandfather was more than happy to oblige and he sent him story after story at least one every week.
He spent his time in school playing Quidditch and running around getting into all kinds of mischief. He still claimed he would never make wands to any classmate who might bring up his last name. He would proclaim to them that he would play Quidditch instead and though he was an okay player he knew he would never make a career of it. He spent his summers and vacations now trying to make wands of his own. He would help his grandfather at the shop and he would make mistake after mistake. He took several books back with him to school and used his free time to read about wands.
After graduating he took a job with his grandfather at the shop and even then he claimed he wouldn’t be a wandmaker. He didn’t want to be what everyone expected him to be but the longer he was there the more that resolve waivered. Finally after years of trying he made his first wand that was good enough to be sold and he knew in that moment that he would make wands for the rest of his life. He started to work in earnest learning all his family knew and seeking out information that they didn’t have. His grandfather retired the next year and the family business was his.
He spent his days working and he loved every moment of it. He had lived a life that was near perfect until word reached him that his younger sister had died in childbirth and that she left behind a little girl. Shock left him numb as he went to Paris to meet his niece who he had no idea was even coming. His sister had hidden her pregnancy from the family and there was no whisper of who the father could have possibly been. He brought the child back to England with him naming her Isabella in honor of his sister. She had always loved the name.
Isabella became his world and all other relationships become second to her. He had been seeing someone when he went to get her and he had no thoughts of even giving him warning. He wanted commitment though and he pushed until they broke. He doesn’t mind being single though he feels the sting of the other not wanting to commit to them. He spends his time now taking care of his niece and making as many wands as he can while avoiding speaking of the latest scandal to rock the wizarding world. His thoughts about the integration of muggles weren’t as extreme as some of the others but he still thought muggles being in their world would be nothing but a mess. Regardless of how much he enjoyed using their internet to speak to other wandmakers.
Character Questionnaire
Answer at least three of the following questions about your character. This could be in character or a third period explanation.
How does your character feel about their family?
Family is everything to Nikhail. He grew up with doting parents who pushed him to be successful in life. He spent his vacations from school learning about wands from his father and grandfather. His mother was loving and kind and his favorite person in the entire world. His younger sister was his closest friend and they spent much of their time together. His sister unfortunately died in childbirth and the not knowing who the father was of her child the baby went to Nikhail. Isabella is almost two now and he would do anything for her. Family is the most important thing in his life.
What does your character value in a friendship?
In friendship Nikhail looks for loyalty above everything else. He doesn’t mind if beliefs and ideals aren’t the same as long as loyalty is in the relationship. He would do anything for the few people who he can truly consider a friend and he likes to think that they feel the same about him.
How would your character describe their own work ethic? Is that an accurate measure of themself?
Nik is always thinking he can get more done. Work a bit harder. He used to throw himself into his work and he would work the day away first with school and then after graduating with his business. Since becoming the guardian of his niece though he has slowed down a bit to spend more time with her. He feels that he isn’t getting as much done as he should now but he can’t bring himself to regret it and his thoughts about his own work ethic are fairly accurate.
How would a stranger who has just met your character describe them?
A stranger would describe him as quiet and reserved most likely. He loves to be fun and outgoing but it takes him awhile to warm up to people enough to show them who he really is. Since getting Isa he has opened up more in general but if they met him on his own without her he does tend to slip back into his quiet observing state.
What magical skill or talent is your character most proud of?
His skill with wandmaking. It’s a long and tedious process learning how to make wands. It takes a lot of practice and he’s spent hours making mistakes so that he can provide top notch wands for those who come to him for them. He puts love and effort into the making of each wand and though he’s never been the best potion maker his charms skills are excellent.
Para Sample
Getting a pet was like a rite of passage in his family. He had gotten his first kitten on his second birthday and his sister had gotten her owl on her second birthday. It had been like that for his father and his grandfather and his great grandfather. He loved the tradition and he wouldn’t allow his niece to miss out on it either. His cat had died when he was twenty and he had gotten a new kitten a few months later. His cat went with him from home to work every day and he enjoyed the company.
He had taken his niece to the little pet shop on Diagon Alley. They had kneazles and owls and cats and frogs and all other kinds of animals. He allowed her to run around the shop with abandon and he followed along behind her with a fond smile on his lips. He loved her more than anything and though she had come to him through heartbreak and tragedy he wouldn’t trade her for anything. His parents still had a hard time looking at her without that hint of sadness in their eyes but she was everything to him. She called him papa and he felt as if he would fall apart every time.
He had never considered having children and would perhaps never have any others but he was thankful for the chance to have her. He listened as the employee told her all kinds of facts about each of the animals. She was focused upon a frog for a good five minutes and he thought she had made up her mind when suddenly she gave a shout of excitement that could have been taken as a battle cry. She charged down the aisle of the store and stopped in front of a cage that held a beautiful white kitten with the most precious blue eyes. She pointed with complete confidence waiting as a queen might wait for those around her to read her mind.
Nikhail let out a soft chuckle as he moved in to speak with the employee that they would take the kitten. “Come along Isa. Let’s find your new pet some toys and a bed.” He held his hand out to her and off they went finding all manner of accessories for the little feline. A hefty bill later and they were off once more towards home with the white kitten in tow. “Her name will be Amara.” She spoke with a solemn tone as they walked down the street towards the apartment they lived in above the shop. Amara, the name of her mother. He wondered if she had picked it because of that or if it was simply one of the only girl names she knew. Either way it left him with a twinge of pain in his heart but he thought the name fitting. She would want to be remembered. “It’s a lovely name.”

Work and the Weather
Madley Magical-Muggle Expo
December 7, 2027
@nikhailollivander
It was hard to appreciate what the Expo had to offer when it was harder and harder to determine what was magical and what wasn’t. For most of her career, Dierdra had been content to ignore everything and just let her assistant handle her accounts for her—but somehow, even when she had stopped by the Firebolt Premier’s booth or the Harpies’ section of the Quidditch League, she was continually plagued with questions to which she had no prepared answer.
And so she dawdled on her break.
Dierdra recognized the wandmaker from the few times she had gone window shopping at Ollivanders—there were only so many times she could go in and pretend that she was going to buy something, especially with how small the space was. It wasn’t until now that she considered that maybe her parents could appreciate some new wands, but she wasn’t sure if Ollivander’s kept that information on file or anything.
Still, it wasn’t a question she can just ask out of the blue, and she didn’t want to assume that the wandmaker was here for work. But he was important enough that if anyone asked what she had been busy with, he was easy enough to namedrop without too much hassle. But Dierdra was a big enough diva that they shouldn’t be asking in the first place.
“Are you here to be entertained, or do your wands come with a digi-watch now?”

Work and the Weather
@nikhailollivander at Ollivander’s Wand Shop
22 October 2027
Dierdra quickly opened the door into the wand shop, but it didn’t fizzle away the chill that had permeated into her skin.
The final matches of the season had been played, the gala finished, and a few fundraisers and exhibition matches rounded out the month of October. What was supposed to be a high never ended that way; once Dierdra had made her way back into Diagon Alley for a little window shopping, she had come to forget that seasonal haunting.
The same chill, the same despondency, the same fear—even as she looked out of the window now, the store she had come into hadn’t exactly offered much protection. All it did was remind her of the days that her own family stayed inside as she looked out of the window then. As a child she had never understood what she was supposed to look for, but her eagerness to fly had been significantly tempered.
She suddenly leaped at a sound behind her—the creak of the floorboards, the squeak of the door hinge, the shuffle of the wand boxes. “Fuck—”
Dierdra closed her eyes and shook her head, realizing that, obviously, she wasn’t exactly alone in an open shop—but that didn’t mean having company was peaceful by any means. At the very least, she could be sure it wasn’t another journalist asking her about how she thought the Arrows played against her team in their last match; she didn’t think there were enough galleons in the world for them to crawl out and follow anyone into the alley.
“Sorry, it’s—” Dierdra gave a little wave, as if she were talking about the weather. The dementors didn’t help that either.

Name: Nikhail Ollivander
Birthday (Age): April 14, 1997 (30)
Gender (Pronouns): Male (He/Him)
Blood Status: Halfblood
Hogwarts House: Slytherin
Occupation: Wandmaker
Faceclaim: Sidharth Malhotra
Character Teaser
Nikhail has a surname that immediately garners attention. His school years and early adulthood were filled with people wondering if he’d be the next Ollivander to finally take over for his great-great-uncle. Initially he resisted the idea, but Nikahil was drawn to the theory of wandlore. Eventually he realized that he shouldn’t limit something he loved simply because he didn’t want to be predictable. It didn’t matter if he matched people’s assumptions; he was doing it for himself.
Feelings on Magical Integration
Nikhail has embraced the possibilities that come with an online network in order to connect with wandmakers across the world. In most other ways, he is suspicious of the idealism he sees around him. Nikhail doesn’t see it as an easy transition or one that would be worth it. He wouldn’t necessarily turn hostile in conversation about integration, but that’s mostly because he would rather just drop the subject.
Biography

Connections
Davis Rosier: His ex-boyfriend who ended things abruptly. Nikhail still doesn’t understand why.
Lorcan Scamander: Nikhail originally saw him as just a kid coming around asking questions, but the two have formed a bond, despite their age gap. In some ways, Lorcan might be the brother Nikhail never had.
Yariel Florez: Nikhail has never seen a man go through so many wands. On one hand, it keeps him in business. On the other, the loss is downright painful.
Nikhail is played by Kat.

What characters are you hoping to see most?
Now we’re getting to the difficult questions. I am going to completely ignore the Weasley-Potter clan for this because clearly they’re wanted, but I feel like they’re the most likely to get grabbed. Other characters I am most excited about include...
Saoirse Finnigan
Forrest Jordan
Adrian Pucey
Alessi Zabini
Dante Ollivander (Posting tomorrow)
Raphael Selwyn (Posting tomorrow)
But really any characters would be loved and adored. I hope to see an app from you!

I have a secret, everyone. Tomorrow is Kat’s birthday! I know that I tend to be the more visible one on the main, but rest assured she’s very much here and involved in every decision. I love having her and think this place would be very different without her, not for the better. Kat, I know you’ll be reading this too, so while it isn’t new news, know that I love you and love rping with you.
As a little present for her (and you), consider applying for one of Nikhail Ollivander’s open connections: Davis Rosier, Yariel Florez, or Lorcan Scamander. We’d love to see them all. We’d also love to see Rose Weasley, who has the opposite problem. Nik is taken and has three available connections. Rose is available and has three taken connections. You’d have lots of plotting options available.

Name: Yariel Florez
Birthday (Age): TBD (26)
Gender (Pronouns): Male (He/Him)
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Hogwarts House: Slytherin
Occupation: TBD
Faceclaim: Anthony Ramos, Jake Zyrus*, Derrick Monasterio
Character Teaser
When Yariel received his Hogwarts letter, he vowed to leave behind the muggle world that had always been cruel to him. He had goals and dreams, and being sorted into a house of ambition felt like coming home. Unfortunately Yariel’s tendency to overestimate himself wasn’t something he could shake. Even now, he’s constantly creating problems for himself by rushing into situations he can’t actually handle. People underestimate him and have low expectations, but Yariel has never shaken that burning desire to prove them wrong. He keeps trying for bigger and better in his attempts to do so.
Feelings on Magical Integration
As computers and technology became more prevalent, Yariel had to admit their convenience, but he still holds firm to that vow he made at age eleven. He doesn’t want to look back at the muggle world that wouldn’t allow him to be anything. At least here he has a chance. In many ways, Yariel is afraid that if the two worlds merge, he’ll be left behind, not quite successful in either.
Biography
To be determined by player.
Connections
Nikhail Ollivander: Yariel would like to never have to look Nikhail in the eye and ask for a new wand again. He’s pretty sure he’s set a personal record. But maybe it’s the wands, not him.
Isra Hassoune: Yariel is willing to do just about anything for Isra. Her successful integration into the magical world is something Yariel is constantly trying to replicate.
Hugo Weasley: Yariel had rolled his eyes about online dating, but when he met someone who seemed to understand his ambition and his desire to make something of himself despite his setbacks, everything seemed to click into place. He has no idea the person he pours his heart out to is actually Hugo Weasley.
*If chosen, Yariel should be transgender.
Yariel is AVAILABLE.
