Character History
Early Life
'Derrek Korson' was born on the agricultural world of Xilxash in 14 ABY to parents: Dean and Nomi. Derrek had one older sister, Megan, who was born in 9 ABY. The Korson’s lived approximately two hundred miles from the capital city of Brining in a rural area dominated by farmland. Dean owned a mechanics business that worked on farming equipment and other associated machines. Derrek would grow up in that shop and learn to repair all kinds of vehicles and machines and would come to love working with his hands.
The Korson family had many friends but only one family had kids in Derrek and Megan’s age range: the Ikron’s. The Ikron’s owned a nearby farm and had a whole herd of children. Derrek would come to be friends with two of the youngest, Zeek and Gabriel. The only thing that would separate those three were the chores they all had to do, otherwise they were thick as thieves.
Around the age of eight Derrek started to discover that if he looked and concentrated hard at an object, he could make it move. He showed his parents and they were terrified. They had never heard of the Force and they had no idea what to do. Dean and Nomi told Derrek to never show what he could do and to keep it a secret from everyone around him. Zeek and Gabriel were the second to know. Neither of them believed it was real, just a trick, and so Derrek stopped trying around them. Derrek did however keep practicing by himself and eventually he learned to control it enough he could make tools and other small objects obey his will.
Telekinesis was not the only power that Derrek seemingly had. He would occasionally help Zeek and Gabriel with their chores, and whenever he approached the animals on the farm, they would noticeably get calmer. Jaren, the Ikron patriarch, always commented that Derrek was a natural animal whisperer. Jaren even had Derrek come to the farm when there was a stubborn creature about and the boy always seemed to have a soothing affect. Unlike telekinesis though, Derrek didn’t have to concentrate or make any conscious choice at all, the animals just reacted to his presence.
