Derrick James

Derrick James is a survivor in the Ark-Hunger Games Crossovers.

**ARK Hunger Games Crossover (War version)**

He spawned in the Eastern Plains. He was recruited by fellow survivor Cobalt Evans into his new tribe The Prime Fish Warriors. Derrick was led into the Battle of the Eastern Plains by Cobalt, charging into battle on foot to reinforce Aurum Zianja and her Dark Moon Warriors. With their arrival, the battle was evened out. However, Lucas Drazen, who was leading their opponents, the Twin Storm Caste, manages to gain the upper hand. Cobalt manages to tame a Devincenzia, and the battle ends in a stalemate. Derrick marches on foot as they pursue the retreating Twin Storm Caste northwest, and they arrive in the Frigid Plains. They are attacked by the Twin Storm Caste, and the Battle of the Frigid Plains breaks out. Despite Cobalt managing to tame a Devincenzia, they are defeated and taken prisoner. Derrick is taken by his captors to the Western Plains, where Lucas begins to subjugate the area. However, his subjugation fails when he and his tamed are slaughtered by a Coelacanth. Derrick escapes along with the rest of the tribe in the chaos. When Cobalt begins to turn to villainy, Derrick follows Daron Armstrong in seceding from the Prime Fish Warriors, and joining the new tribe the Hell Tooth Kin. He then follows Daron elsewhere in the plains. When Cobalt attacks Miriam Luxio, Daron attempts to tame a Carboniferous Arachnid to help, but is killed. Derrick returns to Cobalt, signing the Hell Tooth Kin back into the Prime Fish Warriors, and joins the Battle of the Western Plains on Cobalt's side. They initially overwhelm their opponents. Cobalt tames the Carboniferous Arachnid, increasing their advantage. A tribe formed out of two of Cobalt's former soldiers, the Middle Star Warriors, reinforces their opponents, the Silver Ash Tribe, but they still have the advantage. The Dark Moon Warriors arrive to help, and manage to finish the battle in a stalemate. Derrick watches as an alliance is formed that then disperses elsewhere. Derrick rides on the tribe's Inostrancevia as they pursue the Silver Ash Tribe south, catching up on Cragg's Island. They attack them, beginning the Battle of Cragg's Island. They easily overpower their opponents, especially when Cobalt tames a Scutosaurus. A local tribe, the First Bear Caste led by Price Emerson, help Miriam, but they still outmatch their opponents. Even after Miriam tames a Future Shark, they still overwhelm their opponents. However, the Dark Moon Warriors arrive, turning the tide against them. They are defeated and forced to retreat. Derrick rides the Inostrancevia as they secretly follow the Silver Ash Tribe northeast. They catch up to them on Dead Island, and attack them, beginning the Battle of Dead Island. The battle is initially a stalemate. A Carboniferous Arachnid attacks Derrick, dragging him off his mount and killing him.

**Appearance**

Derrick was a young man of 39-43, with a tall build and blonde hair.

**Personality**

He was a clever man, who managed to hold his own in the Battle of the Eastern Plains despite the odds. However, it was not enough to prevent him from being captured in the Battle of the Frigid Plains. He also disliked villainy, joining the Prime Fish Warriors in order to stop Lucas from subjugating the ARK. While he initially followed Daron in seceding, after his death, he returned to Cobalt, despite Cobalt's villainy. This could represent cowardice, returning despite his actions due to having no other choice, or possibly pragmatism, as continuing to be opposed and separate with no backup could prove dangerous. His cleverness and loyalty resulted in Cobalt placing him in charge of the tribe's Carboniferous Arachnid.

**Subordinates**

1 Carboniferous Arachnid

**Role**

Initially, during the War on Lucas, Derrick was listed as a tertiary protagonist. Starting with the War on Cobalt, he was listed as a secondary antagonist.

**Trivia**

With Daron's death and his return, he is the last surviving former member of the Hell Tooth Kin. With his death, the tribe is now extinct.
