Physical Description:
Corby is extremely attractive, on any scale. He understands the importance of first impression and would rather leave someone drooling than merely impressed. His body is toned and tanned, a result of spending time working toward being the perfect wrock star. He’s of average height, standing at a tall 5’11. He weighs around 190 pounds of pure muscle.

His strong-boned face is usually covered in stubble. The hair atop his head is dark brown and short. His eyes are a deep brown, and the smoldering looks he gives makes even the most bitter wench swoon. He has full, pink lips and dazzling white teeth. His left ear is pierced and he has a tattoo of a phoenix on his upper right arm.

On the other side of things, Corby finds that his nose is a bit too wide, that he has overly large ears, and that his features put an almost permanent scowl on his face.

Personality Description:  
As a young lad, Corby was much like his Gryffindor counterparts: a bit of a troublemaker, loud, proud, brash, prideful, and a bit full of himself. He was loyal and kind, always willing to lend a hand to those in need. He was playful, with a smile on his face and a song in his heart; however, time changes all.

As an adult, Corby is still all of those things, albeit in a different capacity. Sometimes, it’s quite obvious that Corby is a man whose childhood was stolen from him too early and he’s trying desperately to get it back. A skilled musician, he lives the life of a successful and popular wrock star, relying heavily on vices, pretty girls, and standing ovations. Always good for a drink, Corby is a friend that everyone wants to have around. He values friendship and family above all else, and will stick up for them no matter the cost.

Years in the music industry has made Corby a bit egotistical. He knows he’s hawt, he knows he’s awesome, and doesn’t care if you know it. He’s a rather straightforward individual, not very good with creativity and yes, sometimes a bit thick. He’s weary of the world and scared of commitment, settling down, and especially, growing old.
History:

Corby had an early childhood not unlike many others. Mr. and Mrs. Gent, a respectable middleclass family in Galway, Ireland, had their firstborn child on November 1, 1982. Corby Allen Gent was a beautiful young lad, and a feisty one. Always vocal and mischievous, Corby had been suspended from grade school six times by his eighth birthday. Early into the following year, the Gent family was blessed with another little miracle, in the form of a bouncing baby girl, Clarissa. Corby doted on his baby sister, showing a kind and caring side his parents hadn’t realized existed.

By this time, his muggle parents had noticed that something was strange about little Corby. Things seemed to happen around him… impossible things. Shortly after his eleventh birthday, a representative from some foreign school came to their home and informed the Gent family, in no uncertain terms, that Corby was a very special lad and he needed to go to this school to hone and train his skills.

At Hogwarts, Corby found a fast friendship with the Creevy brothers: Dennis and Colin. After watching Dennis fall into the dark lake, Corby couldn’t help but think the tiny twerp would be an awesome sidekick. Sorted into the same house as the famous Harry Potter; Corby didn’t really share the brother’s obsession. He liked Harry alright, and sure, he was freaking talented, but that didn’t mean he should be praised like some god fallen to earth.

As their friendship grew, Corby began to realize that Dennis would never be a sidekick, if anything the two were a dynamic duo, equal in their explosive personalities. As the years went by, Corby started to figure out that he wasn’t so great at studying and stuff. He could perform the spells, but when it came down to writing essays or taking exams, Corby just couldn’t be bothered and it showed in his marks. The only thing that kept him from failing was his friends. Jesse and Dennis gave Corby a reason to succeed… or if not to succeed, at least to pass.

During the summer between his third and fourth years, the Ministry of Magic fell to the dark side, and Corby, bass in hand, fled the country with his band of misfits: Dennis, Colin, and Jesse. Scared for his life, Corby didn’t realize that those next few months would be the best and worst of his life. Jumping from place to place, avoiding the snatchers, making music by firelight, it was all so exciting and dangerous.

With his band of fugitives, Three Owl Standard was born. The Creevy brothers, more creative than Corby could ever hope to be, wrote the songs, and they’d perform, giving a bit of hope to all those that rallied behind Harry Potter via the Potterwatch radio broadcast.

Like all good things, this too must come to an end. One fateful night, the group was scattered. The following few weeks were the darkest times that Corby could remember. As an underage wizard, he couldn’t apparate and he couldn’t use magic, lest the trace pinpoint his location. He survived mainly by eating tubers and edible plants, with the occasional woodland creature when he could manage to snare one.

When the Dark Lord fell, Corby met back up with his friends, only to find that one wouldn’t be returning with them. Ever again. Colin had fallen in the battle. It was a difficult time for Corby, but was nothing compared to the hurt that it caused Dennis. The group returned to Hogwarts for their OWL year, but found that it was too difficult to try and get caught up, and Dennis and Corby decided not to return after their abysmal OWL scores (Corby did, at least, manage one ‘A’ in Divination).

The two managed to get by on the following they’d gathered during the war. They moved into a small flat in Diagon and continued making music. With the addition of Ricki, the group of four continued making music and the band’s audiences grew.

Three Owl Standard is now a major wrock band, a name every schoolgirl knows, a band every mother scoffs at but secretly envies.   
Job Description: Play music. Make girls swoon. Get drunk. Make money.   
What expertise makes your character qualified for their position?: Corby’s an original member of the band. He’s had years of experience, and besides, he plays a wicked bass.
Provide a short summary of your character: Corby lives the life of luxury. He parties every night and sleeps all day. He drinks too much, parties too hard, and sleeps with way too many people; however, underneath that is a kind and caring guy that would do anything for those he cares about.
