Personality

Derek is a very dignified man, he has a strong sense of courage, pride and honor, and he holds a strong aversion to lies, and is very chivalrous. Derek is extremely protective and possessive of his friends, and gets easily angered when they are insulted, and murderous when they are in danger, but always hides that fact and appears calm in crisis as he hates to be seen with a weakness and he knows that if the enemy were to find out about his protectiveness to his friends around him they would use that against him. But Derek has a tough attitude and hides his sentimentality. Even when his family died, he did not cry but rather bottled in his sadness, causing others to worry when he would shut himself up in his room for long periods of time.

History

Derk was sold by his mother as a slave when he was eight years old, he had no idea who his father was and his mother never said how they met, his mother sold him as she needed the money and she blamed him for the poverty she is now. He was put on a slave trading ship where, because he was the smallest, he was picked on frequently. The other children would abuse him and tied him up so he could not get his two meals a day. However this allowed him to realize that their captors had been drugging the food and drink, making them more obediant. Shortly after they began to go insane, the ship ran into a storm and was destroyed and he barely escaped with his life and drifted ashore to a small town on the coast of America. Derek walked inland to find food and collapsed from exhaustion before he was found by a young woman named Jane who took him to her little village. She claimed it was because she had a younger brother and sister about his age.

Jane took him in and gave him the name "Derek" when he said that he had no name. She added him in to her family of four, including her younger twin siblings, Xavier and Sammy, and their grandfather John. He lived with them for a period of time, he often spent time tinkering with scraps of metal. During this time, he grew to care for them and wanted to find a way - legal or not - to repay them. Later on, Jane fell in love with a man affiliated with the broken covenant, named Duncan, son of Apollo,  who gave her "nutritional supplements" for the twins which she mixed into their food. Derek strongly advised her "I'll do something about the money, so don't see that guy anymore!" because he didn't trust him or the 'supplements', and even Xavier had begun to suspect something. Jane was touched by his kindness but refused, saying that if it was just her then she couldn't protect her family. Jane was later killed by Xavier, who had taken most of the nutritional supplements to protect Sammy, because the 'supplements' were the same thing that was given to the slaves to make them obedient, and Duncan controlled them to kill Jane because the night before she died, she finally listened to Derek and rejected Duncan but he got angry so the next night he killed Jane out of anger, but when he saw Derek he guessed he was a demigod and decided to make Derek join the Broken Covenant. Unfortunatly the first time Xaviar transformed into the slave Sammy jumped in to try to help him, which eventually worked but Jane was killed. After this Derek left the village to start his life of crime without telling anyone why. At one point, Xavier went after him to convince him to come back but Derek threatened him and told him to leave. Despite the bad memories it held, Derek determinedly stayed in the life of crime. His real goal was to get enough money to pay for the grandfather's hospital fees, but he did not tell the twins of this goal, causing many misunderstandings between them. Derek, however, considered it better this way as he would not have to worry about them getting hurt.

Whilst in the life of crime and in the village, he was constantly attacked by monsters, his first was when he was twelve near the town, when he was collecting firewood, but he knew how to fight, because a person in the village knew how to fight and taught Derek after he constantly bugged the person to teach him, so he managed to fight them off, but never knew what they were.

Derek joined a band of theives and began to rob corrupted people to pay off hospital bills for Jane's grandfather. Whether or not he is really rich is not known to anyone, but he definitely gave a large amount to support the sickly old man. He gained street smarts and became a micro-expert in the field of explosives. It was during one of these scouts for places to plunder he found camp, and a satyr found him and classified him as a demigod and he has stayed in camp ever since, and he is now eighteen. Weapon preference

He uses two celestial swords, one in each hand.

Duncan is.. a demigod right? If he is part of the Broken Covenant. Why did he want to kill Jane?

Why did his mother sell him into slavery?
