Derin Liken

"'Humans and Animal Hybrids should live at peace and equality with one another. No one should be on top in this world!'"Derin Liken, is a wolf human hybrid, originally born on a remote island south east of "Zircon City" by a few 100 miles. He is the only member of his tribe to break free from tradition and leave their home island. He is a member of the ?? group within the series Vo!dS0ul.

Derin Liken was a young wolf once living peacefully with his tribe on Lycanize Island under the rule of the alpha, and his grandfather "Zaros Liken". One day a strange wanderer came across the island and befriended the mythical wolf species giving gifts and helping out. However unknowingly. Derin woke one evening to screams and shrieks as his village was burst into flames and destruction. Many had burned and their resources they worked for became nothing more than ash piles within the dirt. The strange person had disappeared only leaving subtle signs it was caused by them. From this point forward, things took a bleak turn for the tribe. Some wolves began to question and rebel against the leader claiming he was unfit as he did nothing in his tribes time of need. A rogue wolf member led a large group of those who sought another way of living then peace and being "vulnerable." They took over Zaros and the rest of the tribe, and cast them to a small portion of the island as the rest was claimed under a new leader. Derin's grandfather didn't want Derin to live in danger any longer in which he sent him on his way to find new land to call his own.

His new life now being in a futuristic city as opposed to his normal lifestyle, Derin had a hard time fitting in with everyone else. However when he met the group he is now part of, he felt like he could be himself as they didn't judge him. In Season 2 you start to see more development into Derin as he faces his own inner demons and follows through with his dream of animal hybrids co-existing with humans in Zircon.

Appearance
Derin's design fits his fuzzy warm hearted nature as the healer, helper, and close ally of the group. He stands at a height of 5'9 falling under Medium-Heavy weight with a small amount of muscle in his body. He has short but wild greyish-black hair with cyan blue highlights in the front sections. Typically his hair is more curly, wild and untamed as to feature off his wolf like behavior while still in a human-like form. He has mismatched colored eyes having his right eye being yellow and his left blue. As the human form is merely a magic representation of Derin based on his pureness of soul, he has wolf ears and a tail that can be retracted in to hide his wolf features. However due to him still being pure animal and not really a "Hybrid", he can't control his tail and ears from popping out especially when he is excited or alerted. His casual clothing design typically consists of a late summer-fall type outfit. He wears a cyan blue and grey cargo shorts. He wears long socks sleeved down with blue shoes. In Season 1, During battle situations Derin typically switches costumes to fit more with the costume while being able to reveal his wolf attributes. This costume is his "Hydro-Wolf" ego. In this form he wears a darker blue jacket with the hoodie over his head, a wolf mask over his face with sensors that can glow in the dark. While in this form Derin can act more like his wolf form running on fours and being more wild and less formal in public.

Personality
Derin is quite the kind hearted person of the group. He is slightly sensitive but doesn't try to let others get to him too much. He is usually full of energy and lets that represent his bright personality. His peace loving nature still begins from how he used to be from his tribe when they were peaceful. He is passionate and openly a forgiving person which can be good for making allies but works against him especially to those who don't care for being nice or being wholesome.

However Derin has moments in which his personality completely changes. Due the destruction of his tribe when he was little, Derins true side of his wolf form stayed dormant building up his anger, regret and other rage. In Season 2, the group sees a new side one time when they get extremely hurt and Derins power unleashes except not in a way you would expect. He turned dark and released out a different side known as his "Feral Form". While in this form Derins true wolf instincts kick in and his bloodlust increases overtaking his own control over himself. Later on, the group figures out the feral form may not be fully because of his trauma.

Natural Abilities

While in human form, he still pertains many wolf senses but typically are diluted because he isn't his normal self. However he is disguised from society taking on a new identity.

Sword Arts: Saints is a master in the sword arts, ranking highest in his class at his original school for demon princes where his fathers main rival "Xorath" even attended in his youth. He is typically best with a broad sword keeping equal distance but great on his footing, never letting the enemy juke him out by keeping his patience and waiting for the right moment.

Athleticism: Despite not constantly being active, Saints is very lightweight on his feet allowing him to have more freedom especially in his movement. Able to keep up a decent speed with a traditional Japanese bullet train (199mph), the hero never rests as he uses his light maneuverability to keep his enemies planted where he wants them before going in for the attack
