hey everyone! this is derek harkov and he's sharkov and janalyn's 20-year old son. he's a classically trained pianist and student at juilliard, getting his degree in performance. he's one half of "the former flames" - and i'm still looking for the other half! he's gay and out to just about everyone but the members of his family. he's the rebel of the harkov family, and he can tend to be very aloof upon first impression. derek's definitely the stereotypical brooding musician, and he'd rather sit at home and play the piano than go to class and have people teach him how he should be playing the piano. despite his lack of attendance in class, he is still pretty intelligent, but he's not the classroom type, he's more of the hands-on type. he's currently back in his dysfunctional relationship from high school and in his second year at juilliard. he's distant from the rest of his family, mostly because he doesn't have much in common with them and he'd rather be independent and do his own thing. i need just about everything as far as lines go for him from fellow classmates at juilliard, exes, friends from high school, best friends, and of course, the other male half of "the former flames". his bio is here, if you need any more info!
