History
Derek was born and raised in Canada along with his twin sister Lisa. Though the two couldn’t be more different. Lisa was always the smart one, she spent a lot of her time hitting the books and studying then she did getting out and making friends, while Derek did just that. He never could stay in one place for very long, always getting up and moving around. The only time he did sit still was when he was watching T.V, playing video games, or talking with his friends online.
Derek and his family lived just outside of Toronto, where everything was more quiet and there was less noise. Their mother was blind, and her hearing was more keen than most, so the noise of the big city bothered her a lot. Though she could see fine when she was younger, her eyes soon started to fail her when she was around 10, though she wasn’t completely useless, she was still able to cook with her smell and touch alone as well as clean, though their father helped out as much as he could since his work kept him away a lot.

Derek enjoyed where he lived. He loved the wide open spaces and the fresh air, though he had to go to school in Toronto. He hardly ever stayed home long enough, always going out into the forest that was behind their house. He did manage to get his sister out of the house most of the time, but only if she was done with her homework and other stuff, or if there was no big test coming up. He always found her to be a little boring, and always called her a book worm, which she didn’t like. She was ahead of her class all the time, and was even bumped up a few grades because of this.
Living in the country, Derek didn’t have many friends, only two who came to visit him as much as they could, they would visit him more often if he didn’t live outside the city. But he really couldn’t chose where he lived.
One of his friends dad, who was a carpenter, even built them a treehouse in the big old tree that sat right in the middle of Derek’s backyard. There wasn’t much to do up there, but it was a great place to hang after school, or if they just wanted to get away from their parents and siblings.

It wasn’t till Derek was 11 when his parents told him and his sister that they were moving. Though he really didn’t want to leave since the place had so many memories for him, and he didn’t want to leave his friends as well, but he didn’t have any choice. Lisa also didn’t want to leave, but she knew better than to argue with her parents.
They were moving from Canada to Japan since his dad was given a job offer he couldn’t refuse. Derek had to say goodbye to his friends, promising to stay in touch with them online and such, even promising that he would come visit them whenever he had the chance, which wasn’t going to be very often as they were now going to be living on different sides of the globe.
They moved to a quite neighbourhood instead of the country, only minutes away from the city. There weren’t any forests around for him to play in, only rows and rows of houses, not to mention he had no idea what a lot of the people were saying as he only knew English and not Japanese. His mother, and sister of course, both new how to speak it, and he soon learned it as well through many boring classes his sister gave him, but he still spoke more in the language he knew.

After two years of living in Japan and Derek was bored out of his mind. He couldn’t be himself without getting into some kind of trouble. He was looked at strangely every time he was in the park and climbing trees, like he did back in Canada, though all the stares didn’t stop him, he wasn’t going to let some people who didn’t know how to have fun stop him from having fun.
School was a pain, just like back home. He mostly just stared out the window daydreaming that something was going to happen that would save him from this life of nothingness.
It wasn’t long after this that he had a very strange encounter with a talking ball of fuzz with a horn sticking out of it’s head. Of course Derek had a look of absolute wonder when he met the Digimon, like he had no idea what he was looking at, it wasn’t until the little thing talked that Derek started to freak out, telling it not to hurt him, which the Digimon just let out a sigh saying that he would do no such thing.
They talked for a bit, Oniimon as he was called, doing most of the explaining, and leaving Derek with nothing but a puzzled look on his face. From what he understood, Derek was something called a tamer, and he wasn’t the only one apparently. There were a lot of others, and Oniimon here was his digimon partner. Derek knew that from hearing all this, his life just got a whole lot less boring.

Personality
Derek is very outgoing and easy to make friends with. He enjoys the outdoors and spends as much time as he can in the digital world since it’s filled with trees and lots of other things that remind him of his old home. He almost always has a smile on his face, though not a very big one, and is almost always seen with Oniimon or Anarismon. Like always, he can’t sit still and has to be doing something, or he will simply be sleeping someplace, mostly in a tree.

Talents
Derek is an artist, in the musical way. Though he can only play guitar and sing at the moment, he wants to learn how to play others. He picked up the guitar after he moved to Japan to help him get over the boringness of the place, even though there were probably better things he could have been doing to help with this.
He’s always been able to leaf whistle, and his digimon partner always enjoys the sound it makes when he does it.
He’s very flexible, and can move around rather well.

Digimon:
Anarismon appears to be nothing more than a bunch of random animals mixed into one. It's hard to depict just what animals have been stuffed into it though, but it is just as loyal as any other digimon. Though genderless, it likes to be referred to as a male. He is the silent type, not saying much unless he needs to. He is always seen at Derek's side, just standing there and staring with a rather calm expression, which can sometimes creep others out. His wings aren't built for flying since there far too small, but he can use them to somewhat hover off the ground, and slow his descent if he's falling from a high altitude. He’s a lot more reasonable then Derek and thinks things through a little more than his tamer does, always suggesting things to him and sighing when the other doesn’t listen.
It's digivolutions from Champion to Mega are able to fly, though Furiamon rather prefers running over flying.
