Derek Pacion

Derek Pacion is a child resident and the nephew of Uncle Roe in Canterbury Commons

Background
Derek Pacion, born to two caravan traders Louis Pacion and Daisy Roe, was raised in Canterbury Commons and has remained there for all of his life. His parents were killed in two separate Raider attacks on their caravans three years ago and six years ago respectively. Derek's uncle, Ernest Roe, co-founded Canterbury Commons with his sister, Daisy, and took after Derek after the death of his parents. Since their deaths, Derek has been a "quiet and morose child," not speaking unless he has to.

Derek works as a general assistant for the town, his duties including odd jobs and shoveling the Brahmin pens of manure, which his uncle says will "build character". In his free time, he peruses through Hubris Comics. He has a crush on another town resident, Machete, which is mutually shared between the two, though is too nervous to ask her out. He resides in the old town hall with his uncle.

Before The AntAgonizer attacks on the town, Derek knew The Mechanist, then named Scott Willinski, who served as the town's mechanic. Scott took care of a robot that protected the town, but it was destroyed by The AntAgonizer in an attack. As a response to this, Derek encouraged Scott to fight back against The AntAgonizer "like a real super-hero," creating a mechanical suit and dubbing himself, "The Mechanist." Derek states that the battles between the two are "the only exciting thing" that happens in the town and that he has no one to play with. Uncle Roe instructs him to stay inside when the attacks take place, though he sometimes sneaks outside to watch.
