__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
He has short, cropped red hair and a scruffy goatee he takes pride in. He's got blue eyes and some freckles, but his skin is relatively pale and he gets sunburn easily. He tends to wear long jackets, to help protect him from the winds of Connlaoth. His jacket goes down almost to his calves, and has two hoods sewn into it- one for lighter weather, and another, fur trimmed one for the winter. That hood is normally tucked away in warmer months.

When he smiles, his smile his crooked, and it makes his already small eyes seem a bit smaller. His nose is also crooked, which he claims happened when he got into a fist fight. He wears thick boots, ones he's fastened with a few hidden weapons, same with his jacket, which is made of fine leather. He claims he stole the jacket from some big shot in a Uthlyn gambling house, but who knows if it was true or not. Either way, he's got a story for everything...

Personality
Carefree and a bit unusual, John Johnson loathes his name and grew up in a small town that was big on telling stories- his father being the biggest story teller of them all. Naturally, he wanted to do something great in his life, as inspired by the great stories his father had told. He can also be a bit shameless and has a hard time censoring his tongue.

Magic/Abilities

John believes he has been blessed with magic over luck, considering he's been pretty lucky most of his life. IN order to prove this, he goes out and does pretty stupid things and so far- well..
He's lived through every single one of them-
and he's been making some what of a name for himself- though he was hoping his alter ego name 'The Gambler' would stick more, considering most don't know who he is when they ask and he gives it!

Relationships
John Johnson the Eleventh- Grandfather, alive (has a bit of dementia)
John Johnson the Twelfth- Father, alive
Gabby Johnson- mother, deceased (died of illness)
Tabitha 'Tabby' Johnson- sister (mage), alive (is younger than him by five years)

History
He's become a part of 'Home' even before the war broke out. His sister was branded as a mage, and once the laws were in effect to ship her off to a mage camp, he did the most radical thing he could think of- and saved her and the entire entourage of sentenced mages. Since then, he's been doing similar work for 'Home', which has become more and more of it's name sake to him from over the years. He likes he's doing good work, even if he surprises those he works with in the name of their cause. But hey, it's all about reputation and keeping up the element of surprise!

Likes
Pina colodas.. and getting caught in the rain. He's big into Champagne, and loves the smell of the ocean, swimming in the nude... his beard, women, fooling his enemies in clever ways, being called stupid when people really mean heroic, women, eating snowflakes, apples (well he loves and hates them- he tends to eat too many until he gets ill), darts, card games, women, his family, joking, meeting new people and singing (he can carry a tune alright, but maybe not always 'in tune'?) and he loves dancing.

Dislikes
Smoking (because he can never look cool doing it because he always ends up in a coughing fit- but that doesn't stop him from trying from time to time), serious people (they need to lighten up!), those who think they're better than others, bats (they creep him out, seriously), moths (they're also creepy...), spiders and those long insects with hairy-like legs (you know what he's talkin' bout!), little dogs (hes' apprehensive around them since one bit him when he was younger), cats (he's gotten scratched too many times to count by the family cat that loathed him). Oh, and grasshoppers- he thinks they're gross. Well.. basically he isn't a fan of bugs.
