Personal history

Born in Sutton Springs his life revolved around the town. 21 years living in the town, going to the town's highschool, the local summer camp and going to various events as the Mayor's son nothing ever changed for him. His older brother would show him the cool new thing to do in town weather it was drinking out at the lake or racing down the backroads of the town.

Sexuality

A closeted homosexual. Between pressures of his the town's size, Culture, and Rumors he constantly struggles accepting that part of himself in anyway. Struggles at home especially after his older brother's death putting further pressure to "Find a good wife and settle down."

Education

Every summer for 4 years between 16 and 19 he helped out at the local business as the Mayor's son is expected.

Accomplishments & Achievements

While some around town suggest he made his way onto the Football and Basketball team were from his father's status no such rumors were given about his ability to play baseball, even being good enough for his father to patron the team.
Though scoffed at by some of his Baseball fans He found himself doing quiet well in the Sutton Springs theater, getting decent parts in most productions with his favorite and highest roll being Brad Majors in the yearly Rocky Horror Picture show.

Failures & Embarrassments

Between never being good enough for his parents and the town, leading to the constant spread of rumors surrounding him situations tend to sway one way or the other in extreme cases based on what the town thinks he's done this time.
Struggles within himself are a constant leading him to believe situations are much worse than they are causing him to act out on the spot. A constant rumor of him buying makeup as well as wearing it constantly leads to towns people thinking he blows his top and gets into fights all over town even if no one knows with who, The coverup for the bruises Doesn't help quell such rumors.

Mental Trauma

Besides the obvious from living in Sutton Springs Derrick has a rather tough home life. Between a neglectful mother and an abusive father he spends most of his time forced out of his house. Rumors around town constantly targeting him for his various bruises and building in hushed tones as he was still the Mayor's son. The Abuse becoming more prevalent after his older brother's death.
