To put it bluntly, you will more than likely hear Derick’s thick Australian accent before you see him coming, which, given that he’s 6’5’’ redhead that’s build like a tank should give you an apt description of how loud he is.
PERSONALITY
LIKES FightingDrinking Explosions The Sound of His Own Voice | DISLIKES VictimsThe Concept of Hero Society People who prey on the weak Handouts |
RUMOR/SECRET: | He’s actually a really nice guy once you get to know him (Note: He was the one who probably started this rumor) |
Loud, brash, and larger than life, Derick is the living embodiment of his own hype. His consistent need to prove his abilities against any and all challenges could easily be misconstrued as a “complex”, however this shouldn’t be downplayed as just him looking for an ego boost. Derick is surprisingly quick, and can be quite eloquent when he wants to be. However, most of the time he knows that won’t get through to people, which is why he mostly resorts to violence to spread his message against the society that quirks, and more specifically, Heroes, have created. He has frequently been described as mentally disturbed, based mainly on his inability to give a clear history of himself to anyone. It has actually been observed that he has given two different accounts of his history, to two different people, one right after the other, with the conviction to believe that he actually lived both lives.
BACKGROUND HISTORY
PLACE OF BIRTH/HOMETOWN: | The Outback, Australia |
PARENTS: | The names of his parents seem to change every time they’re brought up. However, the most common through line is that they are both dead. |
SIBLINGS: | Apparently several brothers and sisters, some of which are deceased. The number fluctuates, depending on who he’s talking to at the time. Regardless of the number he presents, he is ALWAYS the middle child. |
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: | Once again, it fluctuates depending on who he talks to, however, there has never been any documentation that he has ever been married. |
OTHER: | Ranges from a newborn puppy he bought last week, to 150 children he’s fathered, and needs to pay the child support for. Once again, there is no documentation that any of this is true. |
The problem with Derick’s history is that he himself cannot give a straight answer as to what his history actually is. However, there are several through lines that are persistent through whatever “History” he’s giving.
-He was born and spent most of his life in the Australian Outback (a named location is never given).
-He is not an only child, however, the exact number of siblings changes with each conversation, along with their names. His siblings have never been identified, or have come forward to identify themselves.
-Both his parents are dead, however, their names and personalities frequently change.
-Derick Cole is a chosen name. However, he either cannot remember, or refuses to give, his actual name.
-He was part of the Australian military at some point, where he participated in the “last great war”. It is not specified what war this is, and no documentation has ever been found. However, due to his in depth knowledge of weapons and explosives, and the various language that he speaks, it is believed he has some kind of military record somewhere.
-His knowledge of the world is exceptionally vast for someone who has never left the Outback. This is somewhat reflected by the amount of languages he can speak.
Other than these facts, little is known about Derick. His more recent history is somewhat easier to follow due to recent documentation.
He appeared around Sydney, Australia around 3 years ago, and immediately began committing crimes. Typically this was robberies in order to fund his “hunts”, namely of heroes that had come to stop him. This lead of a cycle of destruction, where he conducts bigger and more dangerous crimes in order to attract bigger heroes to test himself against. Typically, he would either escape after incapacitating or killing the hero he was up against. The specific pattern of who he does and does not kill fluctuates frequently, and therefore it is believed he shouldn’t be approached in case he decides that you are sentenced to death under whatever arbitrary triggers he chooses that day.
Most recently, he has begun hitting more banks in an effort to accumulate money. It’s not known for his reasons for doing this, however, it has been noted that he has been putting off his “hunts” as of late, and has been retreating away rather than engaging with the heroes sent to stop him.

QUIRK & SKILLS
Derick Cole is Quirkless, thus why it is believed that he frequently picks fights with people with quirks in an effort to test himself against them.
TYPE:Mutation
RANK/LEVEL: G
SUMMARY:
Derick does have a quirk, however, due to the nature of his upbringing away from society, it was never recognised, and as such, he is under the belief that he does not possess one.
His quirk is called “Memory Leech”, where he will copy the memories of those around him. However, due to his inability to control his quirk, as well as his refusal to acknowledge its existence, he doesn’t realise that he is doing it. As such, he believes all the memories he has obtained off other people are actually his, giving to his frequent changing of his history, to the point where he himself cannot remember exactly which history is ACTUALLY his own. Even the name “Derick Cole” may actually be the combination of two people that he has leached from, rather of something of his own creation. It should be noted, that he struggles greatly with the details of the memories he's taken on, just due to the sheer amount of them.
It is believed that most of his military is actually copied from someone he has met, and his entire personality is simply the person of whom he leeched memories off most recently.
WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
- Cannot remember details such as personal information, names, addresses, phone numbers ect.
- Cannot be controlled or activated.
- Cannot be used against PCs.
- Is unconsciously activated when Derick faces a situation where he believes he is going to die.

Catch and Release
RANK/LEVEL: B+
SUMMARY:
The Outback is a dangerous place, where it is hunt or be hunted. As such, growing up in The Outback has lead to Derick being incredibly versatile in creating and implementing large traps to catch creatures. This has lead to him using his skills on Heroes, becoming incredibly efficient at incapacitate, especially with his net and rope.
Weapons Expert
RANK/LEVEL: B
SUMMARY:
During his time in the military, Cole knows the utility of weaponry like the back of his hand, including their effective ranges, maintenance, and cleaning. This extends into basic engineering, and the use of simple explosives to devastating effect.
Outback conditioning
RANK/LEVEL: A
SUMMARY:
One doesn’t survive in The Outback without knowing a thing or two, and you most certainly wouldn’t be able to put up a fight against Pro-Heroes without a body in peak physical condition. Derick has heightened strength, speed, durability, and endurance due to the rough conditions he was brought up in, and his constant need for picking fights with heroes training his body.
