Past
Derek is the eldest of three children. He has two sisters, Mina (24) and Evelyn (26). His parents divorced when he was seven, just a couple years after Mina was born. Johnathan Harrison flew to London a month after the divorce was finalized and very, very quickly married supermodel Yvonne, confirming his family's fears that he had been cheating.
Adelaide Levi dropped her ex-husband's name to keep her maiden name and married Quintin Delvacino soon after that. Derek decided to keep his mother's maiden name, Evelyn kept Harrison as hers and Mina adopted Delvacino after she turned 18 to spite Johnathan. The girls never agreed upon which man was best for Adelaide, and never got along because of their drastically different ideals. Derek was often stuck to be the peacemaker and grew to resent his biological father for leaving, and his step-father for not intervening.
As a teenager he acted out his anger by joining the high school football team, and played recreational baseball in the off-season. He was known to break a bat or two, but never took his anger out physically on an individual. Derek earned three scholarships while in high school: two for his sports and one for his skills in mathematics. He attended Oscilla University with a major in business. He graduated Class of 2113 when he was 22, and continued his internship at Thornhill until they accepted him as CMA.
Attitude
Derek is a tense individual, stressed out quite often, and definitely considered by all means a Type A personality. He never learned how to relax with how busy he kept himself, and whenever there is free time he finds a way to fill it with work, sports, the gym or socializing of some sort. He keeps his mouth shut more often than not when he's pissed (which is often), which is an indication to friends to change subjects and distract him so he doesn't explode.
He's caring underneath the hard outer-shell, but shows no mercy to anyone that betrays his personal virtues: loyalty and honesty. That's not to say he upholds these virtues flawlessly. He can be, in fact, quite the hypocrite, but will not accept any form of criticism stating the truth. Derek has never been violent toward a person, but can be quite a dick when he's strained at work, stressed at home and irritated with friends. He doesn't apologize as a rule, as it shows weakness in his opinion, but shows appreciation often through gifts. This behavior never kept him a girlfriend past a year, which only adds to his irritation.
Since Derek was employed at Thornhill he has not made any career progressions, has not had a serious girlfriend or boyfriend and has not felt satisfied with life. He's anxious for change, angry at the present and looking to shake things up.

Best Friend
Not much is known about Kimba. Derek met her a year ago when she applied to Thornhill, but was ultimately rejected due to her inability to provide information. Kimba's outgoing and fun, but quite secretive--not by withdrawing information, but by the constant joking and lies. Derek finds that she's enjoyable to hang around, so long as he doesn't expect a serious answer about anything he wants to know about.
So far he only knows that she's been in and out of prison a few times, her name is Kimba, she lives in Ashwick and seems to know everyone. He has never seen her apartment, and he doubts she will even ever tell him where she actually lives. She's quite manipulative, but "all in good fun." If it's one certainty Derek has found, its that Kimba knows where every party is and how to get in. She has a talent for making friends. Though she's very sweet and funny, she gives off a certain air that it'd be a very bad idea to not be her friend.
