Appearance

  • Usual Garments/Armor: He usually walks around with his father's armor and a big two-handed sword. Derick always keeps a shortsword in a sheathe on his belt, ready for action. The armor itself seems pretty heave, although Derick seems to have no trouble with it's weight. The shoulderpads are spiky, covering the neck solidly. The helmet only has a vizor , so the wearer can see. Everything else is a solid whole plate, covering the face and throat.
  • Other: He is really muscular and broad shouldered. His arms have a lot of different tattoos. His entire body and face are heavily scared, from all the battles he was in. Some of the scars seem markings from previous lethal wounds, but Derick seemed to have survived them.

Personality

  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral/Chaotic Good

Derick might seem a tad impulsive, but he always thinks over a situation before doing any sort of action. Most of the time he's a joker and enjoys a nice talk and company… Especially with a woman. He could turn really aggressive if he's angry, completely forgetting his safety, going in a bloodthirst frenzy.

History

Derick was born and raised in Redridge. His father was a fisherman and his mother worked as a barmaid in the nearby tavern. Shortly after Derick was born the family ran off to Lordaeron because of the orcish invasion during the second war. There they found a small house and Jacob McBryant, Derick's father, started working as a woodworker. Years passed and Derick developed an interest towards war.

At the age of ten he decided that he will join the army when he grows up. His father was rather prud of that decision, seeing that he was a retired officer from the first war. When the boy turned thirteen his father made him a wooden sword and a shield. Derick started to train to use the said sword with his father.

When the boy turned sixteen his mother passed away from a mysterious disease and Derick began learning woodworking from his father. The two continued their sword practice and the boy began showing quite a breakthrough. One year later Derick's father met a widow and married her shortly after. Derick's stepmother mistreated him, making him do all the work around the house. His father didn't realize what was happening and banished Derick from his home one night when the boy tried another desperate attempt to enlighten his father about the new woman.

Derick began wandering around surviving somehow. When he turned eighteen he joined the Lordaeron army and spent a couple of years in training. There he met many friends, along with people he could trust his life to. One day he was picked in Arthas' regiment. He was proud of himself for proving his worth and being picked by the prince of Lordaeron himself. He was a great soldier. Following orders, being skilled with a sword and also having a sharp mind. Many times he had found mistakes in the sergeants' tactics and slowly worked his way to the rank of a sergeant. When Arthas reached Stratholme and commanded his forces to slaughter the citizen, Derick had no other choice than obey his orders and lead his squad forward, into the massacre. It was an incredibly hard moment for him, because the sight of people being butchered like animals was horrible.

He moved to Stormwind shortly before Arthas took over Lordaeron. When Derick heard about had what happened his hatred towards the undead grew and he joined the Stormwind army, to be later sent to Northrend to fight the scourge at their home ground.

After the fall of the Icecrown Citadel, Derick, as well as other soldiers, were released from duty. He began wandering around the world in search of adventures.
