History/Background Story

Lathan Drei Johnson was born May 31, 2010 to Marcos Johnson and Andalusia Moore at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, NY. Marcos was a member of the United States Army, while Andalusia was a with from the United Kingdom, working as a homemaker. Though his mother's only child, Lathan was actually the second-born son of Marcos, his first being a young boy by the name of Jerome, who was born six years before Lathan and attended private school in Florida. Lathan's parents would divorce when the boy was nearly three, resulting in him and his mother leaving the states and moving back to Andalusia's home of Liverpool, England.
Upon relocation, Andalusia had Lathan enrolled in Dover Primary School, where he would attend for his educational needs over the next nine years. Andalusia herself would take up a position as a secretary for the Ministry of Magic. It was very apparent that Lathan was definitely ahead of his peers in terms of many things, the most notable being his desire to teach himself to read things that appear beyond his comprehension and his aptitude for music. He often isn't afraid to take on a challenge and will do absolutely any- and everything to succeed in his goals. This would, sometimes, get him in trouble as there would be times that Lathan wouldn't hesitate to throw his classmates under the bus in an effort to benefit himself. That said, Lathan is, ironically, a very loyal friend and takes no issue with standing up for those he is close to. He is usually mild-mannered and often chooses to avoid anger whenever possible, but when he is crossed beyond a limit, Lathan's anger knows no bounds!
Being a half-blood wizard, it was no surprise that Lathan's magic would manifest itself early in his childhood, but the degree to which it was shocked his own mother! One day. the boy was watching his favorite television show, when his mother forced it off in order to get him to eat breakfast. This sent Lathan into a very violent tantrum, which manifest energy of such force, it shatter various glassware in the room, including a chandelier! Andalusia would then realize that the time had come to begin separating her child from the Muggle world, apart from his summer visits to his father's home.
Now, having been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witcraft and Wizardry, Lathan has been sorted in to Ravenclaw, the same house that his mother was a part of when she attended school. He seeks to gain as much knowledge as possible in an effort to become one of the Ministry's greatest Aurors.

Lathan's Family and Friends

Marcos Johnson, Sr.


Lathan's father, who currently serves as a Major in the United States Army. Though partially estranged from his younger son, Marcos actually does try his best to maintain something of a relationship with the boy. His son's magical blood is something that he chooses to avoid talking about when they have their time, but he holds no disdain against it or his mother in any sense.
Marcos can be very strict due to his life as a military man, but ultimately, he does have his sons' best interests in mind.

Andalusia Moore


Lathan's mother, a witch and former student at Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she, like her son was a member of the Ravenclaw house. Andalusia, while smart and very capable as a student, chose to keep as much of a low profile as she possibly could. Should would possess the knowledge to train as an Auror herself, but she settled for life as a homemaker when she met Marcos Johnson during a training mission that brought him to the United Kingdom. The two would eventually marry and remain so for four years, during which Lathan was born.
Andalusia is not merely a mother, but a best friend to her son, always ensuring that he has all the tools necessary to help him succeed, even in places where she cannot. She doesn't share a cordial relationship with Marcos, but maintains a respectful demeanor for the sake of their child.

Marcos Johnson, Jr. ("Jerome")


Lathan's elder half-brother from Marcos' first marriage. He has spent the bulk of his life attending private school in Florida where he lives with him mother, who chooses to keep all contact with Marcos limited to the concerns of Jerome only. Although they don't have many opportunities to converse with one another, the brothers do posses a love for each other the keeps them close in spite of.
Like Lathan, Jerome is intelligent, but whereas the former enjoys his studies, Jerome is more of an avid sports player, his notable sports being football and basketball.

(Work in Progress. Will build as character establishes relationships through roleplaying!)
