Germanry Re-App
For those who are interested. No big changes, just some rewording and assuring myself that I wasn't playing someone else's Germany.

Nation: The Federal Republic of Germany; Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Name: Ludwig Beilschmidt
Nickname(s): West, Luddy, Lud
Age: 25
Date Of Birth: October 3, 1985
Hometown: West Berlin, Germany
Occupation: Co-owner of Beilschmidt (formerly Theatricality) fashion line - duties include arranging advertising, photoshoots, deadlines and reserving slots in fashion shows; anything that requires numbers, dates and/or money.
Residence: A small yet decent apartment away from downtown Liberty. A perfect size for a man and his three dogs, with lots of parks nearby.
Family: Blackie, Berlitz and Aster (man’s best friends), Germania (father- not spoken of), Gilbert Beilschmidt (brother) and Roderich Edelstein (cousin)
First Impression: “He should be on the cover of a magazine or something... except naked. And wrestling a bear.”
Exactly Ten Facts:
1. Never one to cause a ruckus (the one time he had, he’d been punished so badly he’d promised himself to never cause trouble again) Ludwig spent much of his childhood indoors, being a studious stick-in-the-proverbial-mud. His childhood had a strong impact on his adult, speaking in terms of the stick-in-the-mud-ishness. The rest of his childhood was spent being dragged around by Gilbert. Gilbert was also the reason Ludwig moved to Liberty from Germany, and Ludwig is constantly checking up on his brother to make sure he isn’t in too much trouble.
2. While at school, Ludwig was top of his class, never missed an assignment and polite to everyone, but restricted himself to a small studious group of friends to avoid distractions from his work. He participated in a few school sports, though his favorite was football. He found it to be the best method of clearing his head and blowing off steam; however this led to his being a very competitive player. He has played all his life, and still enjoys taking a ball to the field. College was a horizon-expanding experience for Ludwig, but after nearly failing his first-year courses Ludwig buckled down and focused on his studies. Ludwig majored in business and completed his degree before moving to Liberty with Gilbert.
3. After spending several months planning with his brother, Ludwig has invested most of his time and effort in converting Theatricality to Beilschmidt fashion lines. He quit his job at Euforia to focus on this new project, though the skills are much the same despite the added responsibility. His enthusiasm for the line comes from his private ambition and desire to prove that he can run a prosperous business. However, Ludwig still heavily relies on his assistant, as creating, advertising and maintaining a business is a little more than even he can handle.
4. Unfortunately, Ludwig is unintentionally overbearing. He despises laziness, and his Intimidation (capital ‘I’ intentional) is overwhelming in ways Ludwig can’t help. The coal-mine deep, authoritative voice and natural ability to organize people, things and places doesn’t make him appear any softer.
5. His attempts to make himself more approachable have not helped Ludwig express his feelings. He’s like a jam jar with the lid gummed shut. Sometimes you can get it open, sometimes you can’t. Ludwig has not cried since he was a child, but it is very difficult to make him laugh sincerely. It’s not that he doesn’t find you funny, just that he finds laughing or even smiling at strangers awkward. He often takes to wearing glasses and rolling up the sleeves of his button-up shirts in an attempt to make himself more approachable. He often just ends up looking like an educated bouncer.
6. From his apartment to his car, his appearance to his demeanor, Ludwig lives a structured life. He goes through each day according to his schedule, and refers to his day-planner at least twice a day to make notes, though he never has to remind himself what he has written. The only time Ludwig has almost had a panic attack was when Gilbert borrowed his planner without permission to doodle little yellow birds all over the pages.
7. His favorite things include dogs (especially German Shepards), wurst (German sausage) and large mugs of good German beer. Ludwig often misses Germany, but has responsibilities in Liberty now.
8. Ludwig dislikes lazy people, as he prides himself on his efficiency. He also has a distaste for fast food, as he has done his research and knows what it does to you. He prefers to cook for himself every day, unless he has made plans to meet someone else.
9. This German has always prided himself on his natural compass, and his ability to figure himself out of a tricky situation. But on the day the Berlin Wall fell, Ludwig got lost. Eventually big bro Gilbo came and saved him, and when he did, he said to Ludwig, “Always go west, bro.” And promptly noogied him. That is why Gilbert always calls Ludwig ‘West.’
10. Camping is one of Ludwig’s favourite weekend activities, and he often leaves Liberty at least once a month for a weekend of camping, no matter the weather. Ludwig has thrown rocks at bears. And won.
And Precisely One Secret:
Ludwig has recently become co-admin of a rather large BDSM chat board known as Whips&Chains. He has worked very hard to keep this secret, even from his brother, knowing that he’d never live it down if Gilbert found out. However, such a fetish has led Ludwig to be far more experienced in the bedroom than one might assume, considering his public embarrassment on the subject. Also, don’t look in his closet.
