Appearance: Even though he is really 75, Derek looks like he's in his early to mid forties. It was an odd thing for him the day he looked in a mirror and realized that he was aging. He's a tall man and still as muscled and built as he was when he was slaying demons, thanks to the hard labor of construction. He's got a handsome face with brown eyes sat in to it. His brown hair is kept short. His most noticeable feature his is smile that would charm even the most disgruntle old lady.
Personality: Derek used to be all work and no play. Nothing mattered by the job. Then he met and Diana and everything changed. He learned how to be relax and have fun. Now he smiles and laughs often, usually at some silly thing his children have done. His family has always came first, even before his job.
Underneath that laid back charm lurks the angel of wrath that used to be. When Derek does get mad, he gets pissed. And if it's his family you're messing with, you best run and hide for that need to hunt down anything that could hurt his family is there waiting to come out.
When it comes to his wife and kids, Derek would do anything for them. He's a bit of a push over were the kids are concern, almost always giving into what they want. He's always pampered and worshiped his wife, his one goal in life to make her happy. He hates seeing her cry and knowing that he made her eats him up inside. He's determined to win her back and won't give up until he does or ends up dead.
Special abilities/talents: Derek is skilled with his hands, plus a hammer and nail. He can build just about anything. He's also a decent cook.
Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Fallen Angel
History: Derek Kelley was born to an Irish Angel father and an American mother in Ireland some 75 years ago. He came to America when he was 21, wanting to see the country that his mother came from. For years he moved around, hunting and killing demons. Derek's history during this time isn't much more interesting than any other angel of wrath. It didn't get interesting until he meet Diana.
He was hunting a demon that was preying on the students of the University of Chicago. It was here that he met Diana. Fearing that the demon would strike her next, he found reasons to be around her, even pretending to be a student. From the first moment she spoke he was head over heels in love. Once the demon was taken care of he stayed, not wanting to leave her side. The day Diana agreed to marry him was the happiest day of Derek's life, at least until their first child was born, and that day he choose to fall.
The whole time they had been dating, Derek never told Diana what he was. Once he choose to fall and become human, he didn't see any reason to tell her. If anything it might distress her to know what he had given up to be with her. Derek enrolled in college for real this time and became just a normal human.
When Diana told him that she wanted a large family, Derek was more than happy. He adores his children as much as he does his wife. With each child's birth he was amazed at how special and unique they were. When some of the children started to show just how unique, he kept his mouth shut about what he had been, though he figured that his being a fallen angel might have something to do with.
The family had been living in Diana's hometown of Mysteria. Then when Derek got a better job offer they decided to move to Chicago and take it. The growing family couldn't say no to the money. The construction jobs where bigger and he'd get to over see projects himself; even build some of his own designs he had came up with. Things were going great. Then he screwed it all up.
He never meant for it to happen. He was still completely in love with Diana and had never looked at another woman. Then he walked into the office one day and his meek secretary had been replaced with the voluptuous Veronica. Once upon a time he would have known she was a demon the moment he stepped on the property. Now he was there for the pickens just like everyone else and Veronica set her sights on him. Soon he was finding himself with his pants down and Veronica looking very satisfied while he was always left wondering what the hell had happened. Guilt ridden and unable to remember how it had happened, Derek it hide it from Diana.
Veronica was a demon who loved to break up happy families. So when she found out that Diana still had no clue, she called the house and when one of Derek's children answered, she told him that she was Daddy's girlfriend. That was the beginning of the end. Diana left and took the kids with her. Derek fell into a depression. The other half of his soul was gone and so were the little joys in his life. The day the divorce papers arrived for him to sign was the day he snapped out of it. Packing a single bag of clothing, he quite his job, sold the house, and went after Diana and the kids in Mysteria.
Flaws: Being a fallen angel, an angel of wrath at that, Derek can no longer sense demons and yet the demons remember him. This makes him a big target for demons. It also seems to make it easier for daeva demons to use their 'charms' on him.
Since Diana left, Derek hasn't taken very good care of himself. He hardly sleeps, finding it to hard to lay there without Di by his side, and barely eats. When he does eat it's usually fast food. The very greasy not good for you kind.
Holding over from his angel days, when Derek sets his mind on one thing, he keeps out it until it's done or his gotten it, depending on the what it is. It can lead to a real single mindlessness.
Merits: Derek is dependable, something that is nice to have when you have six kids. If he says he's gonna pick one of the girls up from dance class he does it. If there's a teacher's meeting in the middle of the afternoon he takes off work and is there on time. If it's Diana's birthday, he's sure to remember has a room full of flowers waiting for her when she gets home.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Preferred PB (played-by): Hugh Jackman
