Character profiles!
Name: Derek Hutchins
He/him
Age: 22
Birthplace: Bavaria, Germany (lived there for ~10 years, German foster care from age 3-10 before being moved to US foster care up until he turned 18)
Family: Mother is black and father is Filipino, father was physically and emotionally absent and mother emotionally absent due to mental illness. No biological siblings.
Strengths: (before the door) Extremely intelligent and determined. Logical and able to stay calm in most situations.
Flaws: Gets jealous easily due to a deep rooted fear of abandonment. He overthinks everything and refuses help.
Hobbies/skills: He studied language for fun and finds human communication fascinating. This includes ciphers. He is also intrigued by old literature and art. He loves the process of learning, which adds a layer of tragedy to the trauma of knowing everything. He was a motorcyclist before getting into an accident which left half his body pretty fucked.
What’s going on with the Yandere shit?: He is obsessed with Avery and is blinded by it to the point of selfishness. He falsely believes that Avery is capable of healing his trauma and in trying to protect through controlling him takes away his agency. This is his way of coping with the intense physical and mental anguish he is experiencing.
Height, build: 5’11. He was in good shape before getting into the accident which caused severe damage to his body, leaving him with intense chronic pain. He is still strong but less toned than he used to be. Average build, not skinny nor buff.
Skin tone, etc: Caramel brown skin tone. There is scarring all along the left side of his body.
Face shape: Square face shape
Hair: Thick shaggy curly dark brown hair. Length down below his shoulders. Most of his hair is typically tied up in a tail. He has a stubble.
Eyes: His left eye was damaged beyond repair after his accident and had to be removed, leaving scarring on the left side of his face. His other is a dark umber color. Deep bags under it.
Usual clothing: He doesn’t care to hide his scars as he’s inside most of the time anyway. He prefers baggy pants due to sensory issues and likes tighter tops for the opposite reason, typically short sleeved or sleeveless.
Social Perception: Growing up in foster care he was seen as the anti-social smart kid. He had one close friend who passed away shortly after he turned eighteen, but otherwise was a complete loner. Not because he wanted to be, but because he struggled to make connections. He admires outgoing and bubbly personalities such as Avery.
Profession: Currently unemployed. He used to work at a factory before the accident but was laid off due to the long recovery period.
Personality: Gentle and kindhearted. He is the type of person to help you with small things without expecting anything in return. He loves animals and literally would never hurt a fly. He is humble and witty. (Embodiment of gentle masculinity)
Values: Before the door, he used to believe all life was precious. However, the trauma of seeing the worst of humanity took away this belief. He sees his killings as a necessary evil. He has always had a strong moral code, though that has begun to fade.
Motive: Protecting Avery and providing him a better and safer life. He believes what he is doing is unavoidable and deserved by the victims.
Random: Autistic… Definitely has ASAD (adult separation anxiety disorder) amongst other things. Probably agender/boyflux in some way or another. He was bilingual (German and English) before the door. Three ear piercings in each ear.
Name: Avery ((unknown))
He/him
Age: 22
Birthplace: US
Family: Grew up in your average agnostic American household. He came out as a transgender man at seventeen and was kicked out from his home. He has low contact with his parents and is an only child.
Strengths: Loyal and selfless. He is very determined and stubborn in his beliefs and commitments. He is open to change and sees the best in people.
Flaws: Impulsivity. He is deeply insecure and sees himself as useless, often causing him to undervalue his abilities. He has trouble being vulnerable to others and resorts to humor to escape difficult or uncomfortable conversations.
Hobbies/skills: Videogames, music, and anime. He read a lot as a child but had less time and motivation for it as he got older. Still, he has decent knowledge of modern fiction.
For some reason I feel he is a K-pop fanboy and learns all the trending dances when he’s bored (downstairs neighbors love him) Cracked at Skywars/PVP.
Height, build: 5’6. He is not flat and might be considered “curvy” by typical standards. He has a belly and thicker thighs.
Skin tone, etc: Black, warm tones.
Face shape: A bit more oval than round
Hair: Dreadlocks half dyed green and half natural. He has yellow beads on the green side and green beads on the natural side, including one that is painted to look like a Minecraft slime. Just barely shoulder length.
Eyes: Dark brown
Usual clothing: Baggy clothes all day everyday.
Social Perception: He is the type of person people feel is easy to walk all over. They take advantage of his positive outlook on others. He is very friendly and hides many of his negative emotions, causing people to see him as shallow or one dimensional.
Profession: Employee at gamestop :(
Personality: Energetic and playful. He’s very empathetic but can be blinded by his own notions of others, making him more vulnerable. He gets frustrated very easily. He strives to make others feel comfortable and special.
Values: Equity, respect, and deep, honest connections with others. Ironically, he hates people who lie and hide their true colors from others.
Random: Adhd king, severe anxiety. Favorite K-pop group probably Illit. He’s a good singer!
