Derek

Derek is a talented tanker and a subordinate of Liam's.
== Appearance ==
Derek is a large man.
== Personality ==
Derek is a hardworking, talented man who cares deeply for his family. However, he lacks confidence due to being abandoned by his father and treated horribly by his guildmates, possessing a timid and quiet demeanor despite his large stature and impressive abilities.
== Story ==
Derek was born into a poor family along with his brother and elder sister. After his mother and brother fell sick with a curable, yet crippling illness, Derek's useless father left, leaving Derek and his sister to scrounge together what change they could in order to cover the medical bills. Despite their sickness being curable, the two were not able to do so due to how expensive the treatment was. Eventually, a supposed friend of Derek's introduced him to Evolution Online and offered him a position with their guild, which paid almost as much as Derek's construction job. He jumped at the chance to make more money, but once in the guild, Derek was treated horribly and worked like a slave, blamed for every mistake, and his salary withheld. This was because the star tanker of the guild was jealous of Derek's talent, and thus decided to suppress him as much as possible.
This all changed when Derek came into contact with Chang Liam, who recognised him and offered to help with his family's situation if he would leave the guild and join him instead. Liam made no attempt to hide his intentions, being clear that he intended to use him for his own benefit, the difference being that he knew Derek's value and fully intended to properly compensate him. Derek was indecisive for a long while, but after an incident where his superior in the guild joked about violating his elder sister, Derek snapped, left the guild and took the plunge, contacting Liam.
