Short military cut black hair. His eyes an intense leaf green that sometimes are lighter in the sun. His skin is a shade away from pale, but if in the sun long enough it's the perfect tan. Most of the time Deryn is known to wear a hoodie with just a t-shirt under. Some track pants everything he needs to work out.<br/><strong>History:</strong>Deryn grew up in the slums of Jacksonville Florida, and without a father. His mother a creole woman who knew what she was getting herself in to when she met Deryn's father. After Deryn was born his father left with nothing for him, but a last name Kingsly. That's all Deryn's mother would tell him about the man. Though with his fathers personality intact his mother couldn't help but fear that Deryn would be just like his father and leave her as well, but that wasn't the case at all. Deryn since he could throw a punch had made a declaration to protect his mother and himself. The slums was  the perfect place to do so, because if someone wanted something they would take it. Between getting jacked and almost dying twice he had to learn to survive.<br/><br/>His mother didn't approve of his decisions, but at many times Deryn had been there to save her from an unruly man. By necessity Deryn's mother was in the business of being a prostitute with out a pimp. As his mother didn't approve of his actions, Deryn didn't approve of hers. Though they came to an understanding as he wanted to protect his mother, and she wanted to provide for her son. School wasn't a bust though, Deryn had average grades but excelled in physical education. Through highschool Deryn hadn't pursued any of the schools academic sports available. Deryn was a fighter and boxing was his thing, and after years of it Deryn had gained a name for himself. "Knuckles," as in even if you wanted to say hi he's always ready. Though with that name came a road Deryn had prepared himself physically, but mentally he had no idea.<br/><br/>His mother had been killed in a car accident on a very rainy day. Handling his problems like  he always did Deryn fought and fought. He fought his way in to a gang who instead of killing decided to make him one of their own. Of course he went through the initiation and to him it was nothing. Roaming with his new family Deryn found himself in next near death experience. In the mall his gang had roamed four deep. A rival gang had also been in the same mall that day, and neither of the gangs liked each other. from shit talking to a gun being drawn Deryn was ready. He eyed the trigger man from the beginning and as he blinked Deryn struck. Though he threw a regular punch to the face it landed with so much intensity that it knocked the other man off of his feet and sent him flying back a good ways. Had he actually done that? Something he had to worry about later, guns drawn escalates really fast, and his first instinct to survive. Deryn escaped without a scrape but some some random bullet holes in clothes. After that day Deryn had been pestered with people who were persistent in him going to their college. He didn't care what they offered at first, but he thought of his mother and what she had told him to do. She told him to survive, and going to this college he would be able to. Accepting the offer finally Deryn didn't know what to expect, but all he knew was that he was ready.<br/><br/><strong>Soulblade:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t476/gearproboxing/Mixed%20Martial%20Arts/MMA-Standard.jpg)</div></div><strong>Special Power:</strong>Exact Muscle Control - Deryn is given the ability to physically move his body faster or slower. I.E In a fight if Deryn were to be punched he has the ability to push his body past its limits and accelerate his movements. Say he was to throw a punch, and the opponent was to dodge he could slow his initial burst from the punch to change it's direction and continue through by accelerating his body. Even with his own physical strengths the power is a costly and can fatigue Deryn greatly should he over use his ability.<br/>
