Remember Cedric Diggory.”

LIKES:
- history
- a good prank (or ten)
- books
- high places
- flying
- social interaction
- games of wit
DISLIKES:
- thick-headed idiots
- rainy days
- ignorance
- arrogance
- killjoys
- quidditch
- jocks
BIGGEST FEAR: Being totally, and utterly alone. Forever.
PERSONALITY:
Corwin is, above all a fun-loving sort. He is quick to laugh and poke fun but can easily get carried away and take a joke or prank too far. It's rarely out of maliciousness but intent doesn't much help the pranked.
Slightly hypocritical, he abhors arrogance in others but can be more than a little arrogant himself. Cor sees his own arrogance as healthy pride, but it doesn't change the fact that his ego is a bit inflated.
It is impossible to deny his mischievous nature. Any self-respecting prankster should have a healthy dose of mischief and Corwin certainly delivers on that note. It isn't at all a bad thing, but his sense of mischief is often stronger than his sense of morals and he's often toeing the line between benevolent prankster and malevolent prankster.
Being quick-witted is both a blessing and a curse for Cor as it gets him into as much trouble as it gets him out of. It also helps keep him in business, as he is otherwise not exactly a business-minded sort.
When all is said and done, Corwin is a social creature. He thrives on interacting with others, while long periods of solitude make him prickly and ill-mannered.

MOTHER: Betsy Johnson nee Moss
FATHER: Alexander Johnson
SIBLINGS: 25 year old brother
HISTORY: AT LEAST 300 WORDS
The elder of two sons, Corwin is probably the least mature big brother ever. As a child he was a continuous headache for his parents and a major thorn in his little brother's side. Luckily, somewhere along the line, he developed a modicum of maturity and a nebulous sense of when to stop before he got decked. Looking back he's really quite surprised no one smothered him with a pillow or something.
At Hogwarts he tried to outwit the Sorting Hat; attempting to have it declare his House to be "Ravyfieruff". The Hat was having none of it, of course so what followed was a very long debate about Slytherin and Gryffindor and when the Hat finally shouted "GRYFFINDOR" for all to hear, it told Corwin that if it never had to touch his head again it would be too soon.
Within his first week as a Gryffindor, Cor tried to change all the red and gold in the common rooms to teal and brass and instead ended up a lovely shade of teal with metallic hair when the spell backfired horribly. He went to classes in spite of his ridiculous appearance and was a little put out when he was forcefully dragged to the nurse to be returned to his proper coloration.
Such incidences were common place during Corwin's Hogwarts years, as were pranks and general shenanigans. The older he got the better he got at not getting caught but in general people tended to assume he was behind just about everything.
In spite of this penchant for trouble, Cor made plenty of friends for himself. He might have been a bit over proud in many respects, but that never got in the way of a good joke or a good time. The only people he ever really didn't get along with were, and still are, the sort of people generally categorized as jocks. In his second year he and the Slytherin Quidditch team ended up in an ongoing confrontation. They saw it as recompense for his pranking one of their own and getting off scott free, while he saw it as the malicious bullying by idiots. Needless to say, they never really resolved matters, but were forced into a state of peace by the staff of Hogwarts.
When it was finally time for Corwin to leave Hogwarts, Hogwarts was without a doubt glad to see him go. Things were much more orderly and sane with him gone. He wasn't, however, gone long or far. Within the year he procured ownership of Zonko's Joke Shop in nearby Hogsmead where he is to this day, selling prepared pranks and such to Hogwarts students after his own heart.
