leaving home meant that Derek had left his old crew of D&D players behind. Most of them had gone off to different schools – some in state, a few out of state, but none had decided on Baldwin, which was unlucky for him. It meant that Derek needed a whole new crew of people that wanted to play. “Excuse me. Is there any chance that you’d be interested in joining a Dungeons and Dragons campaign?”

gonna be weird playing this kid again, butttt i miss him and my muse for him is always around.

( TYLER YOUNG + HE & HIM ) That’s THEODORIC EVERLEIGH. They’re EIGHTEEN and are studying CREATIVE WRITING, which makes them a FRESHMAN. Every time I hear NATE’S THEME by GREG EDMUNSON, they come to mind. They’re known around Valmont University for being ANTI-SOCIAL, but also RELIABLE. They remind everyone of MARIO’S GAME OVER SOUND, 80S CLASSIC MOVIES, and JARS FILLED WITH D20S. It must be true, since they’re known as the HERMIT.

( tw: abuse, depression, anxiety)

derek is the youngest of the everleigh family. his father owns a big corporation, which means that a lot of his family life is broadcasted to the news, but most of it is fake. derek is probably the most forgotten member by the press. when i say that i mean, literally people will forget that he’s there and if you look up pictures of the everleigh family online, he’s only in like one picture because he had several panic attacks at social events and his father just gave up trying to get him to be normal. everyone in his family has something they’re known for, but he’s kind of the black sheep of the family. he likes being forgotten. derek’s always known that he was different from the rest of his family. for various reasons, but mainly that he honestly likes to be alone and not in the spotlight.

he has always done his best not to stand out among his peers. he doesn’t drop his name or talk about his parents or anything because he knows that he’d rather not be treated differently for being a senator’s son. derek has had social anxiety disorder since he was a child. even talking to people can give him a panic attack. though he’s learned the warning signs and knows how to avoid getting into situations like that, it’ll still happen occasionally. he does take medication for it, which has always annoyed his father – who doesn’t believe that depression and anxiety are real.

though he’s forgotten by the public and media – he isn’t at home. his father is almost hyper aware of derek’s existence and being so close to washington, dc, his father spends a lot of time at home. although most nights are okay and derek just got away with being yelled at, but there have been times when his father has gotten so angry, that he’s gotten physical. derek tries his best to avoid his father at all costs, but that’s not entirely simple.

derek didn’t fit in anywhere. in high school, he mostly spent time alone rather than with a specific crowd. he was a wallflower and he’s okay with not fitting in anywhere. despite that, he’s a major nerd. while he didn’t have the grades to show for that, he loves video games and plays dungeons and dragons – one of the few ways he can be social with other people and have the confidence to talk comfortably.

he has two older brothers and an older sister, all of which are the “golden children” of the family. where as derek’s always just been labeled as a freak and a disappointment by pretty much everyone in his family. he does however, get along with his middle brother – despite their six year age difference. they aren’t similar, but the older boy always looked after derek and sometimes tried to stop their father from yelling at derek.

he realized that he was gay when he was eleven years old because he just wasn’t into girls like the rest of the boys his age. and the way his most of his family feels about gay people, he’s kind of kept it hidden from everyone. in fact, derek went to school all the way on the other side of the country because he figured it was easier to be on the other side of the country and away from his dad. he’s kind of kept it to himself except for a couple people that either figured it out or he was close enough to tell. he decided on baldwain purely based on the fact that the west coast is more accepting, seattle has a larger male population than a lot of other cities because of it’s amount of IT jobs, and valmont has a good writing program.

basically, he’s an anxiety ridden boy that just wants to play d&d for the rest of his life. and his personality is pretty much just shy. like he’s very nice when you talk to him, but being around people is such a pain for him. he does try, but he also would rather just not be around people.

DISCLAIMER: i also have social anxiety disorder & i will try my best to make roleplay with derek at least somewhat painless – even though he can be a pain to interact with sometimes. he really does try. it’s also a new setting for him and a different background, so he should be okay.
