Derek, Early Life
Derek's life was fairly normal, no special powers, no above average abilities, rather than his maturity and caring love for his younger sister Lisa. Derek lived with his mother, father, and Lisa, until about two years ago, when Derek's mother and father were killed in an automobile accident. Being nineteen, Derek would seem, in no way ready, to care for his fifteen year old sister. But with the coming of his parent's deaths, he took up two full time jobs to pay rent for him and his sister.
The Death of a Brother
On May 22nd of 2010, Derek was killed by a gang member for the contents of his wallet. Derek was walking his sister home from school when a wrong turn put him in the final situation of his life. He stood between his sister and the thug, desperate to protect her, Derek died from a fatal gunshot wound to the chest, right there in that alley in Kings Row.
Life Beyond Death
It would seem Derek's part in this story wouldn't be over quite yet. Derek awoke to find himself intangible and invisible to the normal eye. As a ghost, he spent most of his time attempting to get his human form back. Soon, Derek was able to summon forth his human form, and with this ability, he helped his sister Lisa get back on track with her life, who had gone astray after Derek had died. Believing that after this task was complete, he could move on, Derek was quite confused when he remained in this world, and not the next. He now spends his time investigating why he has yet to pass on.
