Derych

It all started with Derych. He hails from planet Sixam, though our story starts in his Earth hometown of Evergreen Harbour. Young adult Derych was all about having a good time. He had two fleeting romances. He meets Joaquin Le Chien, and he's quickly smitten. Almost ironically, Joaquin would be the one to cause Derych's spiral out of control. Originally, he had a well paying job, working in the field of science; he was smart, and though he may not look so much now, he was dashing. It was easy to get Joaquin to fall for him, but their relationship was turbulent. Joaquin, Derych soon discovers, is a drug dealer. Joaquin pressures him into trying what he's got, after they sleep together for the first time. (This is when, and how he found out Derych was an alien- he was shocked at first, but quickly fascinated).

"I know how to make the second round better..."

Derych gets hooked. For a long time, he couldn't go a day without getting high. During his bender, he leaves his job, and lives off of his quickly dwindling savings for a short while, as he spends all of his money on drugs to supply himself and his boyfriend Joaquin, and nights at the strip club. During one of his escapades, he meets Bjorn Bjergsen, a married man.

Bjorn was looking to experiment with his sexuality. Things were already getting rocky with his wife, and he just decided... Why not?

Derych was crossfaded when Bjorn appeared in the bar, he was there by himself tonight after getting into it with Joaquin. Bjorn caught his attention real quick, and he decided to stumble over and approach him, flirting right off the bat. Bjorn was receptive, to his surprise. This was the beginning of their affair.

As Derych's bank account drains, Joaquin begins insisting that he find a job, if he wants to keep living this lifestyle with him. This was the cause of many arguments, and eventually when he's nearing broke, Derych picks up an acting gig. He begins to sporadically pick up gigs, as well as sell the odd artwork or two, just enough for him to get by.

He continues seeing Bjorn, and Joaquin eventually catches them in the act. Derych decides to leave Joaquin, though after things settle a little, they continue seeing each other casually as each other's booty calls. He continues to hook up with Bjorn on the regular, and they really begin to fall for each other. Derych pressures Bjorn into trying drugs, and this causes Bjorn's wife to catch on to their affair, which ends in divorce for Bjorn, though now they were free to openly pursue each other.

They begin to love together in Derych's house, though Derych pretty quickly begins to lose interest in Bjorn. Living domestically with him, and openly being partners took the thrill out of what they had together. The answer to him, was to turn to more drugs, to avoid spending time with him. In all of his alone time, he came up with a half-baked, nearly crazy idea.

Derych begins to build a ship. He needed to go back to Sixam, to find himself. He was utterly compelled.

Once his ship was finally finished, Derych set off. Back on Sixam, Derych runs into several old friends and flames, though he meets a woman who really catches his eye. He introduces himself. Her name was Kimber. She was beautiful. He felt revived, just meeting her. She thinks he's funny. Eventually he has to return home, but he continues to go back to Sixam, just to see her. They begin falling for each other, and hard.

Back on Earth, Derych ends up kicking Bjorn out, and breaking it off with him, and Bjorn is devastated. He was in the midst of a divorce, and the man he left his wife for was hardly in it. This triggered an obsession in Bjorn- he's still desperately in love with him.

After forcing Bjorn to leave, Derych finally invites Kimber to Earth, and begins going on dates, and sleeping with her. Kimber falls pregnant, and Derych invites her to live with him. Soon to be a father, Derych cuts back on his drug use. He doesn't get totally sober, weaning himself down to only pot.

Kimber

To everyone's surprise, Kimber gives birth to twins, two little girls. The pair decide to name them Dusk, and Dawn. Derych immediately falls in love with his babies, particularly Dusk. Kimber begins to suffer from post-partum depression and anxiety.

When their babies become toddlers, Kimber begins to seek out self medication for her post-partum, self soothing by sneaking into Derych's stash. When she got high, it was noticeable, and Derych pretty immediately found out- he was more than okay with it, and encouraged her to use what she needed.

Derych begins to clean up, for his family. He gets more consistent acting gigs, and starts painting more in his free time, bringing in a decent cash flow for the family.

Dusk

Dawn

Derych begins to get very close with his daughter, Dusk. She is a total daddy's girl. Dawn and Kimber get along decently, and Kimber has slightly less of a relationship with Dusk, as she spends so much time with Derych. As she continues to struggle with post-partum, she finds herself having a hard time connecting with her kids, and it's also affecting her relationship with Derych.

One night, Derych gets abducted, and assaulted, resulting in a pregnancy. He continues using drugs throughout, though he attempts to use them less. Eventually, he bares a son, and they have to move to Brindleton Bay, as there was no longer enough space in their home to accommodate everyone.

Asmodeus

After his son Asmodeus was born Derych ages up into an adult. The girls soon age up into kids, and Asmodeus eventually ages up into a toddler, bringing us to date with where we currently are. Dawn and Dusk have a strained relationship, although they were previously very close. Both of the girls have a great relationship with Asmodeus. They are both average in school, although Dawn aspires to do better.

Unfortunately, spending so much time wit her dad, Dusk has been exposed to some less-than-savory things, and this is the beginning of her going down quite a different path from her sister.
