Appearance:

Philip has dark hair that almost always looks messy despite his best efforts to make it stay neat. It doesn't help that he dislikes the texture of most hair pomades and so does not use such things. Philip also has hazel eyes and fair skin that tends to burn easily if he is in the sun for too long. He stands at an average five feet, six inches with a sturdy build. He dresses as is suited to his class though tends to look a little unkempt at times. Philip is ambidextrous though strongly favors his right hand.

Playby: Matthew Daddario

History:

1860 - Philip is born the first son of Archibald and Briar Aymslowe. He is sickly at the start of his life but soon proves resilient; going on to be quite a robust child.

1863 - Briar has a miscarriage. Philips too young to understand what has happened.

1865 - A still birth occurs and the baby is named William. Philip is very sad over the happening but still doesn't quite get what has actually occurred.

1866 - First signs of magic. Also the year that Philip starts taking a liking to 'helping' the cook and watching as he cooks.

1868 - A sister is born and she is named Rosemary.

1871 - Philip goes off to Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff.

1875 - The news that he has been selected for Prefect is marred by the death of his much beloved sister.

1877 - The family are thankfully not affected by the chaos that occurs due to muggles discovering magic.

1878 - Philip graduates from Hogwarts and immediately begins working for his fathers restaurant. Philip does not mind as over the years, he has come to love cooking; most especially baking. It isn't long before he is dabbling with his own ideas and creations which are received well by their patrons.

1883 - Philips father dies and Philip inherits. For the moment, Philip squirrels away a majority of the funds and invests the rest.

1884 - Philips investments pay off and he is left with more money than he'd originally held. This, on top of the restaurant he had been left with doing reasonably well means Philip and his mother are quite comfortable financially. But still, Philip is restless and begins to write up plans to open his own bakery and pastry shop.

Given that they do not live in Hogsmeade, Philip and his mother are left untouched by the plague and fire.

1885 - After much planning, Philip sells the restaurant for a tidy sum and upon his mothers agreement, moves to Irvingly with his mother. There, he opens his long desired bakery and pastry shop which he dubs Sweet Delights.

To supplement his income and ensure that he can more than support his mother and a wife, too, if he desired, Philip also continues with his routine of investing part of his funds, giving special attention to the fledgling ideas of working class folk.

1886 - Philip comes close to courting a young woman but things fall through when she seems to have lost interest. Well, Philip assumes this to be the case since she simply stopped writing him and he hasn't seen her since.

1887 - Philip is trapped in the World Market but is not among those that are injured.

1888 - Now twenty eight, Philips mother is much more insistent that he start looking for someone to share his life with. She also is starting to assume that he might be gay - a fact that Philip is oblivious to.

Personality:

INFP - FRIENDLY - CREATIVE - INNOVATIVE

Other:

* Philip likes to play with recipes from other cultures and thus his shop sometimes offers baked things and such that one would find in Russia, Japan, Poland, etc.
* is likely bisexual.

Sample Roleplay Post:

Philip was in his element as he directed his bakers and other staff on what he wanted done and how. He had also welcomed them to come up with their own ideas and present them to him. The best ones would be inducted into Philips offerings under the respective bakers name. He believed in giving credit where it was due when it came to his loyal workers.

He adjusted the tree, hidden from the window since he was behind it. Brushing loose pines off and making sure that the magical light orbs weren't too obvious in their magic. He often liked finding ways to skirt around that whole 'no magic in public' issue.

Hearing the day open, he peeked around the tree and smiled at seeing a familiar face. "Hello, Miss Backus. I was wondering if I'd ever see you around these parts," he said as he wiped his hands with his handkerchief.
