Name: Derek Galen Wright
Age: 14
Hair color: A fairly normal, earthy color of brown
Eye color: Normally as grey as an overcast sky, but they change color when Derek’s powers are in use. They turn shades of molten gold for fire, an icy sapphire blue for water, liquid silver for air, and a vivid emerald green for earth
Height: 5’8”
Appearance: Derek is tall as a beanpole and as lanky as a willow switch. He has almond-shaped eyes and attractively even features. His hair is generally in a perpetual state of artful disarray, and the frame on his rectangular glasses matches his hair. His attire generally consists of a green polo shirt, black cargo pants, and a grey wool vest that can be zipped up if it gets cold.
Biography: Derek is the third son of relatively normal family from suburbian North Carolina. Normal, at least, until one realizes that it consists almost entirely of exceptionally talented individuals. His brothers were tossing fireballs by the age of seven; his little sister was causing localized snowfall by the age of five; and his parents raise demi-lizards – small winged reptiles – as something of a hobby. Derek, however, has never felt quite as awesome as his siblings, and has often failed to live up to his parent’s exacting expectations. Afraid that an ‘ordinary’ school would cause Derek’s stunted talents to diminish further, his parents sent him to St Dymphna’s with the faint hope that he would improve.
Personality: While generally upbeat, Derek is shy and withdrawn due to his family’s general disapproval of his apparent lack of ambition. He is easily embarrassed, particularly by effusive praise, which he feels to be undeserved. Despite this, he has a strong sense of faith that allows him to view events (at least in retrospect) in a generally positive light.
Skills: Members of Derek’s family traditionally exhibit the ability to control the elements around them, and while Derek’s power is denigrated by his family, he is still capable of sculpting earth, pushing water, and shaping – but not creating – fire, lightning, and small breezes. In the course of various snowball fights and dodgeball games, Derek has acquired a preternatural sense of his surroundings that allows him to dodge nearly any violent event. Also, he possesses the ability to remember and repeat any tune that he’s heard, and generally caries some sort of small instrument for that purpose.
