Picture:
Appearance: Hair: Yes Deryck loves to dye his hair different colours. However, do not let that fool you, Deryck hair is naturally dark brown he just likes to add the fancy highlights which at the moment are bright red. He is not bothered if he is girly with his hair, it is better to respect your hair than to let it go rough and possible make someone go bald quickly right. Sometimes he does dye his hair black to get rid of the highlights but that soon changes. He will never go light coloured with his hair he prefers his dark hair. However, the dye sometimes goes wrong and he looks like a complete idiot but Deryck tries to pretend it Is not bothering him when it is. Hence the sudden want for black hair dye.

Eyes: Deryck's eyes can look very narrow that is usually due to the amount of black eye liner he wears. He puts it on nearly everyday and sometimes steals his sisters when he goes round to visit her. However, he is not bothered about buying the eyeliner in the shops he does not care if people think he is a freak he has had that comment all his life it never has once bothered him.

His eyes are dark brown and also blend in with the eye liner and this makes him to appear eyeless at times which is quite amusing to him. He does however put in different contact lenses to make his eyes stand out over the black. Once he used red contacts and scared a few people it was amusing to him though. He personally feels his eye colour is bland and boring he sees brown as being the copy of black but it ddi not succeed to well. He has been known to wear black contacts.

Facial Features: He has an okay looking face, Deryck is happy with it so everyone else should be. His nose is a funny shape so he has been told by bullies when he was little but he learnt to not care what people thought especially after the life he had as a child. His ears are a cute size but his hair hides them so people can not really see them but he probably had some evil comment as he grew up.

He does have a lovely smile and he gets told these off women he dates so he tends to smile allot. When you know what he is been through you wonder how he could smile so much. However, do not pity Deryck he does not like it at all. You have to have at least one quality you like about yourself and this is it. Least he is not dying his smile or using contacts to change it.

Body: His body is small and he does not have much muscle he is not bothered about having muscles he never has. Maybe that is why he and jocks never got along when he went to high school and college. He eats quite healthy but not very healthy he likes the odd cheese on toast a little too much. Some people say he will turn into a cheese on toast if he carries on.

Scars Deryck has lots of scars in his body, on his heart. They are not physical scars but emotional ones. His up bringing and life till he was 18 was horrific and how anyone could survive and live to tell the tale is beyond everyone who knows him. He also has some chips in his bones from skateboarding injuries.

Personality: Deryck has a high attitude problem that comes on very easily. Deryck does not trust many people due to his life so it is very hard for him to be all pally pally with some one. He would never talk to someone first unless he had to ask them something but that is about it. Even if people came to talk to him he would be sketchy and not talk to them. However, if that person persisted to talk to him eventually he would give in and talk to that person after lots of analysis.

Once you have broken through the trust barriers and Deryck has begun to know you that are when he becomes are true self. His true self is sweet understanding and caring and he is one that will protect you from harm as he knows what it is like to be hurt and harmed. For example, he protects his sister with all his might even though she might not let him at times. He is also very protective of women he likes.

When it comes to love Deryck is very sweet, he gives gifts takes women out for meals and drinks and makes sure he is there for them no matter what. However, he expects the emotional thing back. For example, if he is upset he expects to be noticed and cared about. He works on a 50/50 relationship.

However, he is not perfect at all and has several flaws I his personality, one is jealousy he can get easily jealous with people. These are usually guys who are flirting with a girl he fancies. However Deryck does not ignore it, he either says something he regrets later or he lashes out at the guy who had no idea he fancied the girl he is flirting with. Unless he is with a friend who will stop him Deryck could be quite dangerous with the word jealousy.

His anger is a major problem, even though he goes through patches where he does not get mad, he goes through another where he is eating a poor kid alive who has not done anything to him. Deryck always apologies if he upsets someone so much it makes him think about what an ass he is. He has been for counselling but they were useless to him, plus he got fed up.

History: In 1990 Deryck Rueben Summers and his twin Antony were born to his drug abusive mother. When he was born all his mother could care about was her heroin fix. That was all Deryck's baby bashed brain could think of as well as he was born an addict to Heroin as his mother used it so much when he was born. Lisa (Deryck's mother) had a baby boy two years before Deryck and he too was addicted to heroin when he was born and had to be weaned off it like Deryck.

When it came round to taking Deryck home (Trailer park) he learnt that crying would not get his mother to come to him as she was too stoned or out of it to feed him. His feeds came on her terms as did his nappy changes leaving him with very bad nappy rash. The same went with his brother. His nappy must be changed at least 3 times a day, not enough for a tiny baby.

This happened all the way through his child hood and when he was two and thankfully potty trained with help of the midwife his baby sister was born and the same happened to her as what happened to Deryck.

Deryck never knew his father, but each child had a different father all drug dealers and spaced out freaks. When Deryck was 8 and his big brother was 10 and his sister 6 they all were left in the house on their own as their mother wanted to go out and get drunk and she had no one else to look after the trio. Luckily even though this happened several times they survived this.

All the children in the family had crappy clothes, all hand outs and some they wore more than five times in a week without them being washed because their mother could not be bothered.

When Deryck went to High school he was called a freak not because of how he looked, he did not wear eye liner then. This was because his clothes were very crap quality. Even though Deryck likes to show that he does not change his image because of people he did this time. At 15 he went home and washed all his clothes his self whilst his mother sat on her arse and asked him to wash her clothes whilst he was there as their washing machine had broken and they could not afford the dry cleaners. He did it and put them all out to dry but his clothes still looked crap, he needed to get a job to earn some money but he did not know what to do.

One night he was sat in his room circling different jobs in the paper what he might be able to do when the door went. He walked towards it, is mother was passed out like usual and his sister was at her friends sleeping over. He opened the door to see his brother, a site he will never forget.

His brother had blood coming from his mouth. Deryck did not know what to say but a sense of shock came over him as he then watch his brother fall to the floor. He was about to bend down to him when he looked up to see a black barrel pointing towards his face and a guy masked up who was holding it. Deryck just ran out of the back door as he was scared the masked man disappeared.

Luckily a bully man from the trailer next door saw what happened and rushed out ordering an ambulance. Deryck’s brother was sent to hospital. He remembered being told his brother was dead and it was because he refused to deal drugs anymore. His brother was a drug dealer and was shot dead because he refused to do a job. All the Hyth children were close. Deryck cried and he is still not over his brother’s death.

Deryck went back to school and got a job working at hot topic, there was no way he was getting involved with drugs. He told his mother to go into rehab or he wants nothing to do with her. She actually went but killed her self two weeks after she was admitted as she could not cope. She was always a selfish pregnant dog, Deryck was surprised when he and his sister did not show any emotion for their mother, but it was no surprise.

Now Deryck had to bring up his sister, but he did have lots of help from the trailer park community they all pitched in and helped out it was a great community there. When he had the money he began to make his own style. He bought second hand clothes but got quality ones and just made his mark. He dyed his hair different colours began to wear eye liner and just made himself a trademark, 'Deryck Hyth' He began to skate as well. He went from the freak clique to the punk clique some how not even he could explain that one.

Some people did not like his style but he could not care less he was happy that he and his sister were getting through life. It was a shame about his brother. Now at 17 and in his senior year Deryck is quite content, he has moved out of the trailer park and into a dorm, so has his sister. He still works to keep himself and his sister in money although she has started working now as she is nearly 16.

Deryck was really into his music, he would write lyrics about the certain things that had happened in his life and made the effort to learn how to play the piano, guitar, drums and Bass. Piano being his strongest instrument he likes to play. His class teacher when he was 16 noticed his abilities and knew his life situation was not good. She infomed Valkyrie of his talents and they watched him audition. However, the bill was too much for him and he could not afford it. His teacher knew he deserved it and found out about a scholorship he could take. He was over the moon to be going to this fine school and has not looked back, for once his life is looking better than ever.

When he was 18 he met a girl, they slept together and now he has a baby girl called Jayden who has just turned 3 months old. He looks after her when he can, but when he is busy our out his 16 year old sister looks after her, they make quite the team.
Living Situation: the Dorms.

Roleplaying Sample:Last night was one hell of a party for Deryck, he went out drinking and took a few pills with his friends at their house. He opened his eyes to see a foggy mess at his friends house, people laying all over the place and Deryck laid on a brown sofa. He got up and felt his head spin, 'god, I drank too much last night' he said to himself as he walked to his friends bathroom to see someone collapsed outside of it. He stepped over the body and shut the door taking a piss and then looking in the mirror at himself, his eyes were all blood shot and he looked like crap. He then felt his cell vibrate and looked at it, to see his girlfriend had asked to meet her and Jayden at the park, he posted back but headed back to his house first.

He walked through the apartment door to see his father passed out with a load of beer bottles around him and his mother cleaning up around him like a socail butterfly. His mother was like a woman on happy pills, she never got sarcasum and never got angry which annoyed Deryck at times. 'Deryck sweetie.' she said in a high pitch voice. Deryck sighed as he looked at her. She saw his face, 'oh deryck you look horrible. are you okay? Jayden keep you up all night did she?' she asked following him. 'MOM!' he shouted, 'leave me alone.' he said as he shut the door of his room and got changed into a pair of jeans and a tee and some trainers and headed out before his mother could ask him a zillion and one questions.

He walked down the stairs of the apartment the sound of his shoes filling the air echoing the stoms as he walked down towards the exit. Finally reaching the bottom and opening the steal doors he heard police sirens something normal for this side of the city.

He exited the building and headed towards the lake walking passed the dumper truck which smelt bad he had to hold his nose for a few moments until the smell had gone. He saw a bus pull in and made a dash for it, just getting on in time but paying for it in cents as that is all he had. The people on the bus looked at him in disbelif they could not believe he was paying in such small change. He heard the engine start and pulled away his i-pod blurting in his ears as he semi sang along to the words looking out of the window he could see the lake in the distance.

He stopped the bus by pressing the button and got off, 'thanks' he said to the bus driver as he headed towards the lake. He finally got to the lake and looked out for his daughter and girlfriend, when he spotted them at the opposite side of the lake. He smiled to himself but realised he still had a bad headache, he rubbed his temple softly and finally made it round to Jayden and Samantha. 'hey' he said as he got there.
