Personality

Derek is a bit blank. He tries not to get close to people or show emotion due to his occupation. Being a reaper has taken it's toll on Derek, unfortunately. He is usually numb and unfeeling toward everyone, being quite formal. He speaks in the manner of old English, being that he's been around so long. However, if anyone gets past his shell, they will find an extremely caring man, surprisingly enough. He is a hopeless romantic, a man who still believes in chivalry and honoring a woman. He treats everyone with the utmost of respect, even when he himself is disrespected. The only real way to get him angry would be to harm the people that have managed to get close to him, otherwise, he remains calm.

Equipment

He has a scythe that he keeps somewhere with him, either in his car, home, or on his person.

History

Derek was created by the angel Ezekiel for one purpose, and one purpose only; to collect the souls of the dead. It is all he has ever known his entire life. He has moved all over the planet due to his job, though he tries to stay in one place for long periods of time. He currently presides in Clearwood. Few people have managed to get close to Derek, but some have actually managed to. But eventually they all died and he had to collect all of their souls. A terrible experience for him.

So begins...

"Don't you dare walk out that door Derek Reaper!" Alica yelled after him.
He was right she wasn't ready to accept his apology but she wasn't done trying to find what he was talking about. Her ability to improve plant life and manipulating the pot? What was that? So she had a bit of a green thumb. What did that have to do with her parents? So perhaps her parents weren't her real parents, perhaps this earth god was her father, but just for Derek's sanity's sake, who was her mother? After all it takes two right?
Did he really think he could just give her some rude and curt answer then walk out her door like everything was well and good? What was wrong with this man?! Alica was ready to follow him and drag answers out of him if she had to. She did not like the way things were going, this constant trust and distrust. It was like a love hate relationship and they hadn't even known eachother for a full twenty-four hours. Everything was making her head spin and her blood was pounding in her ears. She half wondered if Derek could hear her heart beating as he walked out.
She slumped against the wall and sank to the floor holding her head in her hands. She didn't know what was happening but it was painful! "Ahhh!" Alica cried out in pain. It felt like she was being torn apart from the inside out.

Derek was just about to shut the door behind him when he heard the cry of pain coming from Alica. He kept his walls up, but rushed back to her, still not trusting someone who was so angry with him, with his feelings. "You are in pain?" He asked her, slightly concerned.

"No, I'm jus-Ahhhh!" Alica screamed falling on her side. Her insides were on FIRE! She could hardly breathe, her head felt like it was about to split open and her vision was blurry and fading in and out whenever she managed to open her eyes.

Derek sat on the ground next to her, pulling her into his lap. He needed to find out what was wrong, he needed to ease her pain. "You must tell me what it is that is wrong. I cannot help you unless I know what is wrong." Derek gently brushes her hair out of her face, feeling her forehead to see if she had a temperature. He was not familiar with human ailments.

Derek pulled her into his lap and started talking to her, she wasn't quite sure what he was saying but she thought that the just of it was that he wanted her to tell him what was wrong. If she had know she would have told him. "I don't know-aaah" Alica moaned. She wasn't in as much pain now but she ached all over. It took her a moment. To realize that her pain had eased when Derek held her. "Get off." Alica managed weakly. If she was right the second he stopped touching her the pain would come back.

When told to release the young girl, Derek immediately complied. He gently placed the young girl on the ground and stood up next to her. "If you still wish me to leave, I will go." He said simply.

Alica had been right, once Derek moved away from her she hurt again. But this time it was much worse. "No, I- Alica gasped. It was hard to breathe and her vision was fading again. "Top shelf, my-Ahh-bathroom." Alica managed before she passed out.

Derek immediately ran to the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet. In it, he found a strange bottle with an slider of some sort in it. He looked it over to be sure that it wasn't marked as dangerous, even smelled it for any toxic fumes, and then went back to Alica in the hall. She had passed out on the floor. Derek dropped to his knees and opened the bottle, then put her head on his lap. He opened her mouth, tipped her head back, and slowly let the fluid trickle into her mouth and down her throat, making sure she wouldn't choke.

Alica suddenly woke up and was able to breathe and see normally again. She knew what Derek had been telling her was true.
A man years ago when she was very little had been waiting for her in her childhood garden and told her that she would know when to drink the potion in a bottle he gave her. Then he had told her never to speak of him to anyone except the man who found her identity, and with those last words he had faded into earthy colors and dissapeared into the dirt. She had never spoken of the man but she had kept the bottle. She realized the man had been the earth god, her father. She hoped she drank the potion at the right time. Then it hit her. "
The man who found my identity. It's you!" Alica exclaimed looking at Derek. And with her realization she knew her life was going to change completely and that her past wasn't what she had always known it to be. She leaned into Derek and rested her head on his shoulder trying her best not to sob, though she was doing a bad job of it.

Derek was a bit uncomfortable. He wasn't used to... comforting people. They never usually came to him for solace. So he was a bit lost as to what to do now with the girl who was so obviously holding back tears and resting on his shoulder. He tentatively patted her shoulder, fairly uncomfortable with contact as of right now. He wasn't used to it. It was quite strange. "I did tell you your true identity, yes." He said in reply to what Alica said. "Now please, calm down a bit. Try to remember that the love your mortal parents had for you wasn't a lie. Nothing excepts your true father and your mortality was a lie." He didn't know if these words would help, but he hoped they did.

Alica noted that Derek was not used to comforting people, but at the moment she didn't care. He had a heart beat and that alone was comforting. Then Derek told her that nothing was changing.
"You don't get it do you? I-I have powers, I guess I've always known but now that I know who I am... I'm not who I was. It means that my life is going to be different. I could live for a hundred years longer then the people around me, or someone who hates the earth god-I mean, my father, will try to kill me. And if what I've heard is correct he has a lot of enemies." Alica said getting control of herself. "I'm sorry, if you want to leave you can I won't make you stay." Alica got up and turned toward her room. "Thank you." Alica said these words simply but they were filled with such genuine gratitude.

Derek listened to the girl in his arms, and was about to speak in reply. However, before he could, she was getting up and dismissing him, heading off to her room. "Do you really wish me to go?" He asked her, not wanting to leave her alone in a time that was obviously causing her great inner turmoil.

Alica thought about it for a moment. She wasnt going to make the choice for him. "I've caused you a lot of undue stress and annoyance, I'm not going to tell you to leave if you want to stay, I'm also not going to tell you to stay if you want to leave." Alica turned as she said this. They were standing less then a step away from each other. She could still hear and feel his heart beat. If she had her way she would have his arms around her again, in the next instant.

Derek searched Alica's eyes, and found the desire for him to stay there. So he would. He would stay and comfort this girl that he hardly knew, but he knew she was immortal, so she could stick around for a very long time. This was comforting news. Derek took the step to close the gap between them and brought her into his arms again, gently patting her back comfortingly. "You have caused me neither stress nor annoyance. I will stay to comfort you in your time of need."

"Thank you." Alica said the words just above a whisper as she leaned into Derek's chest. She put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder with her nose by his neck. He was solid, real. Derek rooted her in place for the moment. She listened to his heart beat and simply let him hold her. It occurred to her how perfectly their bodys fit together. He was just the right height for her and he wasn't overly muscular.

After a few moments of their embrace, Derek felt the pulsing in his head that meant his job was calling him. He sighed and pulled away from her. "I'm sorry, I must go. Duty calls, and it seems to be rather important." He said to her. The pulsing in his head was heavy and getting faster, meaning that there was a multitude of deaths he needed to address. Derek kissed Alica's forehead. "I'll be back when I can." He said, then he teleported away, into his house to get his scythe.

Between the island of Demotia and the region of Pruwas, a broken airship lies barely floating in the middle of the sea. From far away, black smoke could be seen rising from it. Parts of the airship are enveloped by red fire while around it is the dead bodies of the crews.

Before long, Derek was at the grisly site of an airship crash, so many different would to collect. And it was in the middle of the sea, so he knew there would be mixed causes of death. This would not be a fun experience. Well, it never was, but certain things were highly traumatic. Derek sighed and made his way to the remnants of the still-sinking airship. He noticed something though. The air around him seemed a bit too... clean. Especially for after a crash that resulted in so much death. Everything just seemed too pure, and this was a bit odd to him. He couldn't place where he had felt this before, but he knew it was from long ago.

Regardless, Derek had a job to do, and he would do it. He made his way around the ship, collecting the souls of the dead and waiting for those who were still dying. He was not allowed to interfere and stop a deaths from happening, he could not wave those destined to die, even though he wished to and had the power to. Watching it all, a tortured look came into his eyes as he felt agony deep inside him. He vowed that he would get an explaination in the least for these needless deaths.

Derek was done with this place. It had already taken it's toll on him though. He needed to go back to Alica, he needed to seenif she was alright. He had began getting paranoid shortly after he left that something had happened to her while he was gone. As soon as he was finished at the wreck site, he transported himself back to Alica's house. When he got there, he saw that she had company and appeared to be doing something. "Oh. You're alright." At the site of the dog man, Derek stood straighter and held his walls higher. "And hello to you, was it Toko?" He then turned his attention back to Alica. "If you are busy, and I must go, then by all means, tell me. I will not keep you from whatever it is you need to do."

"eh?" Toko turned his head to the sound of the voice that is Derek's, unaware when did the reaper appeared. His eyes widened for a second before narrowing, a smirk suddenly curved with his dog mouth. Slowly, he turned his head to Alica, already forgotten about the large holo-globe in the middle of the room.

"I see you have been busy..." he said, the smirk getting wider, teasing her.
