Weapons: Silver Wyvern Ignition/ It is a great sword made up of some durable material such as ore from a meteorite. On top of that, the sword weighs about 100K, yet he swings it as if it was nothing. He made a blade that would not chip or break. He does not care about the blade's sharpness, but he cares about its durability. It has a thruster at the end of the sword, so when he charges it, it gives maximum damage. It also has a hidden function that only he and his uncle are aware of when he uses semblance. It is unfinished because he has not put a gun modification to it, yet he is debating it. It's also his latest weapon creations so far, but he doesn't want to go into that for now.
Semblance: Juggernaut-Dragon/ this will make him an unstoppable killing machine for 15 minutes. It's a berserker mode that quadruples his strength, speed, endurance, and it also gives him bright crimson serpent eyes. However, this semblance has an interesting drawback. See, his semblance seems to have created a split personality that is a volatile sort that won't hesitate for a second to kill anyone that pisses him off regardless if they are friends or enemies. It also changes his hair color to crimson red and eye color to gold, and the ability to breathe fire. That is why he uses it as a last resort.
Backstory: He is a part of a family of famous huntsmen and huntresses who founded and runs the Hunters' Guild called 'The Dauntless Horizon' that span across the world of Remnant. His Grandfather is the head of the Night family in Vale. As for Derek, he is third in line for succession. He has three other siblings: one older brother, one older sister, and one younger sister. He cherishes his sweet little sister Izzy though her actual name is Isabella. Anyway, I am getting off-topic here; sorry about that; now where was I. Oh, right he is third in line for the succession of head of the family in which he could care less. Well, the fact is he doesn't want to be the head of the family, even if he was offered the spot. He feels that it would give him, and this is his quote, "That job would give me an unnecessary aneurysm, so give that pain in the ass job to my Father; he likes headaches." He doesn't like to be tied down in one place for too long. He loves traveling from place to place, seeing different parts of the world and meeting new people all over Remnant. His uncle, grandfather, and four others personally trained him to better control his semblance and have the field experience to become a better huntsman.
The prologue of D.
Derek was relaxing on a tree branch, with one of his older sister's new manuscripts covering his face, as he was resting his afternoon away without a care in the world. He was waiting for his crazy uncle to show up. "*Yawn* Come on, old man, where the hell can you possibly be? Got me out here in the forest at night." As he continues to wait for his uncle, he hears something in the distance, so Derek puts the manuscript in his bag then jumps down from the tree branch. Then as Derek landed, he pulled out Silver Wyvern Ignition and stabbed the ground with it. 'Well, I guess this will occupy me for a while till my uncle gets here, now let see what's making that noise,' he thought while walking towards it. It is most likely that the noise is his uncle is what he is hoping for.
"I wonder what we will find in that direction."
"Well, that is the fun part, am I right? To find out what goes bumping into the night." Derek said with a small grin on his face. He always loves the thrill of the hunt. The adrenaline is kicking in when you get close to your prey, then trapping it in your grasp, and then taking it down with nothing but your skills and wit.
"If something or someone tries to kill us, can I take over and kill the dipshit that tries?" The other voice in Derek's head giggles at the thought of it.
"Well, that's debatable; let's just see what we find first and then assess it from there." Derek could now hear gunshots more clearly, and he sped up towards the commotion.
"Interesting. It looks like we are going to see some action today after all," the other voice said in a humming tone cause he was getting bored.
Derek has entered the clearing where he found someone fighting an abnormally large pack of beowolves on their own. He could not see who is struggling from where he is standing, but it seems that they were handling themselves just fine as an upper half of a beowolf landed right in front of him. 'That's impressive,' he thought to himself as he stepped on the grimm's head. "Excuse me, buddy, no no, stay dead," Derek said to the grimm corpse underneath his feet.
Derek decided to take a closer look at the fun that was happening. He gave himself a running start, jumped in the air, and then threw his greatsword into one of the beowolves. 'Dramatic entrance number 13' is what he said in his head while landing on top of his Silver Wyvern Ignition. Then he tilted his head and saw something he could not believe, it was a small girl with black and red hair with silver eyes. She is wearing a black long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a matching skirt with red lining. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top, and red soles. Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem that looks like a rose appears as a large silver buckle on her wide black belt, slung around her hips at an angle. Attached to her belt are a pocket and a row of bullets, and she was holding a scythe. Then the girl looked back at him with a puzzled look as well. 'Where have I seen her before,' Derek says in his head.
But they were interrupted by one of the beowolves by lunging itself at Derek. He jumped in the air pulling his Silver Wyvern Ignition from the ground, and he sliced the grimm in half. Derek landed next to the little reaper, " Hope you don't mind if I crash the party, miss," he said with a smirk on his face. The red hooded reaper looked at him and said, " always room for one more at this party," Derek dawned a little smile and told her to move as he swung his sword slightly over her head, and he sliced another grimm's head off. The red reaper took out a grimm as it was lunging at Derek.
"Nice save their little reaper," Derek says to the little reaper.
"3 Grimms down, so can I take over now or what," the other voice said in a calm tone.
"Sadly, you can't this time since there is another person here, but maybe next time, partner, I promise alright," Derek whispered so that the little reaper didn't hear.
"Hmph, fine, then make it entertaining for me now, won't you, Dare," the other voice said with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Heh, don't I always, old friend," a small smile dawned on Derek's face while saying.
Derek looked over at the reaper, then thought, "Hey, you want to play a game of 'who can kill the most grimm,' oh right, I forgot to introduce myself I'm Derek, by the way."
"I'm Ruby, and I'll play that game with you, but I hope you are prepared to lose cause I'm not planning to." Ruby charged at the group of beowolves in her direction.
"That's my line," Derek retorted while decapitating two grimm at the same time. With a smile on his face, he started hacking away at the grimm, he grabbed one of the grimm's arms with one hand and threw it to knock down three more, and with the other hand, he swung his sword at the grimm that was down. "I believe that is 6 for me... who's next?" he said with a dangerous smile on his face. The beowolves took a step back then at that moment; he charged right in front of them and said to them, "Just where do you think you're going, huh?" Derek slices clean through 5 grimm more, and one was sent flying into the air, crashing into another beowolf.
"That makes 13 now, and I think you are running out of bodies to slice up Dare," as the other voice pointed out to Derek so that he would know.
"Oh, you're right, there's only two left now *sigh*" Derek was mildly disappointed about that fact. He put away his sword then he gestured the last two grimm to come at him. One of them ran towards him, then Derek ran toward it, and punched a hole into the beowolf's chest. "One more motherfucker to go," he said in a dull tone as he pulled his arm out of the dead grimm's chest. Derek looked at the last grimm, and the beowolf tried to make a break for it, but then Derek grabbed it by the neck, threw the grimm to the ground, and put his boot on its neck. "Oh no, you don't, you're going have to die by my boot," as he said that he twisted its neck as he did that the beowolf has stopped moving.
"Really 'you're going to die by my boot' that's the quote you go for," the other voice mocked Derek for it.
"It was a spur of the moment, fuck it's not like you could do better," Derek said in an annoyed tone.
"You're right where you belong under my heel," the other voice said.
"Well shit, that does sound better when you put it like that, anyway; how is our little friend doing?" as he turned to see that the little reaper was wrapping things up at breakneck speed on her end.
"I think you just lost that game by the looks of it," the other voice pointed.
"Yeah, looks like it," then a grimm suddenly jumps at him from behind, but then Derek without even looking slices the beowolf in half. He starts walking over to Ruby as she is walking towards him.
"That's some good skills you got there," Derek said with a grin on his face, then Ruby started to smile as well.
"You're pretty good yourself, so how many did you take down?" she asked Derek.
"All I got was 15 or 16 I think, I lost count," Derek gestured that he didn't know, "So how many did you get?"
"I think I got the same too though I kind of lost probably," Ruby said with a chuckled.
"Then I guess it's a tie oh well, so anyway what are you doing out here if you don't mind me asking," Derek asked with a puzzled look. The grin on her face slowly turned into a frown. "I was visiting my mom's grave," she said with a slightly sad look on her face. "Well shit, choose your next words carefully, Dare you are on a land mine," the other voice strongly advised Derek.
"I'm sorry to hear that, my condolences to you," Derek said in an apologetic tone.
"It's fine. You don't need to worry about it, but thanks anyway," she said with a small smile on her face. Derek was reminded of his little sister when she was sad, and on reflex, Derek removed his right gauntlet and started to pet Ruby's head."WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WHAT THE FUCK ARE DOING CUT THAT SHIT OUT!?" The other voice shouted at Derek like he'd lost his mind. Derek realized what he was doing, and later he retracted his hand immediately from her head. "Sorry about that you just reminded me of someone who had a sad look on their face, then I also thought that since it cheered them up when I did that to them, but I guess that doesn't apply to this situation, please forgive my rudeness," Derek said in a calm apologetic voice. He put his gauntlet back on his hand, realizing he is socially awkward. He barely talks to anyone outside of his family let alone know what would be okay to do in situations like this.
"It's alright I was a little surprised that's all, but I don't mind it," Ruby said with a slight blush on her cheeks. "So what are you doing out here if you don't mind me asking," Ruby asks with a curious look on her face. "Hm oh that's right, I was told that there was grimm in the area so, myself and my Uncle went to investigate," Derek scans the area for more Grimm, but doesn't see anymore around. "Oh that reminds me by any chance have you seen my Uncle he really tall?" Derek asks Ruby if she has seen a giant of an uncle walking around. "No can't say that I have sorry," Ruby said with a half-smile on her face.
"No need to apologize, well I better get going then I need to look for my uncle again," as soon as he said that his scroll made a message ping. He pulled it out of his pocket."Oh speak of the devil, here his message now," he said when he was looking at the text message.
Kid, there has been a change of plans. Head to the city of Vale I have someone for you to meet. So get your fucking ass over here now.
"*sigh* Typical for fuck sake you shitty old man, now then hey uh Ruby do you know which way to the city from here by any chance?" Derek asked Ruby if she knew where it was. She looks like she knows her way around these woods in his mind.
"Um yes actually I was heading that way, to be honest, if you want to you can come along as well," she said to him with a small smile on her face.
"Well, if that's what you want, ah I just remembered I have to make a call," as he said when he walked over by the tree, out of earshot. Who would want to hang out with someone with a split personality?
"So what do you think I should do now," Derek asked the other voice.
"Well, I don't see the problem, unless you're going to pull that same shit that you did a few seconds ago," as the other voice points out.
"That was a reflex, and you know it," Derek argued with the other voice.
"Anyway, I'd say go ahead; it's just to the city anyhow," the other voice said with a calm tone.
"Thanks for the advice Drakkon," Derek said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah whatever, you better get back to her before she leaves," Drakkon said to him.
"Sorry for the wait, shall we get going," Derek said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, let's get going," she said with a smile as well.
"So what are you going to the city for?" he asks her while they are walking.
"Oh, I'm just meeting up with my sister and a friend of mine at the city," she said in a happy tone.
"Cool," he said with his thumb up as they continued to walk to the city.
'I still feel like I have seen her somewhere before,' is what went through Derek's head.
"Um excuse me can I ask you something," he looks at her for a minute and then nods his head for her to go ahead with her question. "It's about your sword how heavy is it," Derek stops walking in which she stopped as well, then he grabs Silver Wyvern Ignition with one hand, and then hands it to her. "See for yourself and take a guess on how much it weighs," she gives him a skeptical look at first but then she humored him and grabs Silver Wyvern Ignition. "Oof this is really heavy I'm guessing it's about 100lbs," Derek scoffs at the notion while looking at her trying to lift up Silver Wyvern Ignition. "Well you're halfway there it's 220lbs," she gives a surprising look on her face while she sees him taking the greatsword with one hand. "Whoa so what is the name of your sword," he looks at her for a second then looks at his greatsword. "I call it the Silver Wyvern Ignition for now I'm still workshopping the name that's the one that stuck," he says while he takes notice of a sound in the wood line. "Would you mind if I look at your weapon for a minute," Ruby hesitates for a minute then gives him her weapon. Then he plants his greatsword into the ground so he could examine the weapon better.
"Hmm, a high impact sniper rifle capabilities as well as a quick reaction speed to switch to scythe mode, and you can get a more accurate shot in when you are in scythe mode. I have to say I am very impressed with your weapon and your skills scarlet reaper," he hands back her weapon and he gives the look of confusion cause Ruby has a twinkle in her eyes. "Scarlet Reaper I love it sounds like a comic book hero," Derek is stunned by that comment, mostly because she reminds him of his little sister when he made his little nicknames. "Well it was easy considering that you carry around a scythe and a red hooded-cape, and also it doesn't hurt to read some comics," he grabs his greatsword and rests it on his shoulder, and then they continue walking. "Cool oh right I named mine Crescent Rose," he ponders on something for a minute when he hears the name of the weapon, but then he hears something approaching from behind them. "Hold on a second," he primes up the thruster on Silver Wyvern Ignition, then a beowolf lunges at Ruby, and Derek cut it down the middle. "Well looks like that was the last straggler, oh question which would you prefer Scarlet Reaper or Rose Reaper," as he puts the great sword on his back, he walks to the main path, and she was still in a daze after what just happened. "Hey you coming or what?" Derek looking back at her seeing that she is staring at the grimm that he took out. "That was awesome," she states as she dashes towards him, and he notices rose petals as she comes closer. 'Yeah Rose Reaper is sounding very fitting right now,' he thought to himself as he continues walking on with his new traveling companion.
In time people will one day both fear and respect him, for one day, he will become known by two names 'Commission Commander' and 'The Night Lord.'
