Derek is a straight to the point guy. Typical some might say due to military training, he favors a situation where there is a clear objective.
He has a growing repulse for the Kimset.
He's not too shabby with the fact that most of his friend had died or turned into abominations. He is wondering why it hasn't begun with him though, besides the smaller mutatuions on his back.
So right now, his only goal in life is to kill as many Kimset as he can, to honour his fallen comerades.
Dereks gear isn't the standard issue soldiers armor. He was part of a specialised squad, along the lines of a delta squad.
It's rather heavy and it would normally hold off most clawing, biting and light gunfire. However the harsh conditions in which he is currently living, the armor has seen it's fair share of damage.
The chest armor covers his torso and stomache and ends just at his shoulders, smaller pads cover his arms and elbows. His legs are covered with similar armor and he wears heavy boots. All the armor is adapted with some camo, but on Epoch, it has little effect.
Weaponswise, Derek has an assault rifle and a side arm. Aside from that he managed to get his hands on a knife from the Kimset. The blade not really made out of metal, but out of some sort of hard substance that upto now seem to slice through everything. Due to military training, Derek has some mags saved up, he uses what he can salvage and tries to get by.
He has 2 packs of power meals with im and a basic first aid kit.
Born in the heart of Belgium, Derek was raised as the only son in a suburb. Due to a tragic accident, he turned into an orphan and at the age of 17 he signed up for the newly formed european military school. He graduated as a lieutenant from the officers school and specialised in advanced warfare and combat. After that he had been deployed in global conflicts and saw his share of combat.
After first contact with the Kimset, he applied to join the crew of the Primitia. After some dicscussion between the top brass he was allowed to join with his team. They were in charge of security of the officials, but got ordered to abandon that goal after everything turned haywire. Their last order was to act as a guerilla faction on Epoch and to disrupt as many operations as possible till the end.
Derek never had the time to start a serious relationship and seems to be regretting that now that he knows he seems to be one of the only humans left on this world.
