Hobbies:
Outdoor Activities - Anything outdoorsy. Hiking being the primary thing he enjoys; he can just grab a backpack full of a few things and be on his merry way. He also loves swimming, fishing, hunting, camping, and canoeing. Obviously most of these activities are group activities for safety, so you can often find Dietrich leading trail walks, teaching kids to fish, or even signing up for canoe trips with anyone from his age group up to tag-teaming the more adventurous senior-expeditions. He feels that this is not only a good way to get people out of their chairs and into nature but a great way to make them appreciate the world around them and perhaps take better care of it. This hobby can also be alone time for him but the majority of it is group activities. Unfortunately, these activities are limited to maybe one weekend a month. As much as he would love to do these things more, school and other activities crowd his time.
Motorcycle Riding - Di has a need for speed. He loves motorcycles, and owns his own. He has hybrid that’s semi solar powered. (He had dubbed his motorcycle his 'noble steed') It's one of his only activities that's truly 'solo' time, so it's also his 'summer time thinking time'. He will sometimes take his bike out just to drive around and have alone time. He will take others for rides if they want, but he is really picky about who drives it so expect to ride behind him. He also has a side car he found so he can bring along two passengers if planned, otherwise the sidecar collects dust. Di knows a little mechanics, enough to tinker a little and fix minor problems if needed. He doesn't ride his motorcycle when the weather is extreme, or when there's bad traffic. He will hop a bus instead.
Eco-Friendly - Dietrich is pro-green, in the sense that he likes to conserve energy, recycle all recyclable material, and buy organic products (when he can afford it and if there isn't a farmer's market nearby). He believes that it's the little things we do to conserve the planet will save it. This practice, however, doesn't extend to his motorbike -- he prefers to ride his hybrid motorcycle whenever he can, using the bus only when there's too much traffic or when the weather is bad.
Go Planet! - Basically, Dietrich is a tree hugger. Whenever there's an environmental protest, it's not surprising to see him there with all the other tree huggers. While he may not be extreme enough to drive spikes into trees in order to prevent clear cut logging, he'll be more than happy to join in on a protest march. He'll even try to get the local high school students interested in helping out with the environment on trash clean-up days, or to get them to go out on a nature hike. It is his goal to spread the word about the environment and raise awareness with it, but don't let him catch you littering! He'll invade personal space and deliver a lecture on the importance of the environment. After all, we're all in it together to defend our planet!
Survivor Man - Dietrich is bound and determined to be 'one of them', and by them he means one of those people who can survive even if they get lost or separated in that great wide world. He’s studied tracking, trails, survival and even how to trap food and knows quite a number of edible plants. He also knows a few medicinal plants. While he may not be ready for his own TV series it makes him useful for search and rescue missions and a big hit with some of the boy scouts. He emphasizes things like being aware of your surroundings and never taking it for granted when something seems out of place. He even knows a few things about ‘Urban Survival’ after all, who wouldn’t want to make sure they did with all the strange things happening in Destiny City of late. He may not be ready for Queen Beryl, but if they flood the streets he’ll know just what to do.
Scavenger - One person's trash, another's treasure! Di looks for things in the outdoors/trash cans/ peoples lawns and turns them into jewelry, or all sorts of things! Skulls, cans, beads, rocks, anything really that strikes his interest at the time. Why trash things when they can be re used! Less land filled space the better! A human sized raccoon he is. Some of the things sold and others are just hanging up in his house looking for a home or collect dust.
Virtues:
There for you - An accident in the past that nearly took the life of a childhood friend awoke a sense of protection within Dietrich. He will do his best to be there for his friends, from horrible break-ups to watching another's back to being prepared with a bandaid and a first-aid kit. He wants to be there for his friends, no matter what the circumstances. Usually he is just a text message away, thought it might be hard to get replies if he is asleep, he is the person that can be counted on to bail a friend out of jail at 3:42 am in the morning. Dietrich won't be anyone's booty call, though.
Careful thinker/Planner - Di is not the kind of person who jumps to conclusions, he weighs the pros and cons of the situation before leaping in. He will try to come to the easiest and simplest solution that will be the most efficient. When it comes to a split second decision he still tries his best to give the right answer. He will usually babble to himself out loud, and if with a group he will discuss things with them.
Courageous - Dietrich believes, that more than mother earth is in need of defending. He's brave enough to stand in a protest line in front of a bull dozer, but he's also someone who will step into a situation to try and defend those whom he believes can't defend themselves. He may not always pick the right person to champion, after all people are so much more complicated than protecting the planet. But for him it's part of being a 'good person'.
Flaws:
Up close and personal - Dietrich does and WILL get all up in your personal space. He has no sense of personal boundaries, and will probably end up leaning all over you even if you do not like it. He has been known to sometimes randomly sit in peoples laps if he felt like it. He also HAS to 'fix' things for you without asking permission. That bow tie angles wrong? He'll fix it! Stain on your shirt, or something on your face? No worries he will wipe it off for you. If somehow you do not like this privacy invasion and push him away, he will normally shrug it off for the time being. Though he tends to forget those whom don't like it... and eventually ends up in their space again.
TMI - Di is put off by people not telling "the whole story". To him, it feels like malicious intent to the point that he often tries too hard to make sure he's never suspected of telling half the story. In his determination, though, he sometimes goes too far and says too much. No one really needed to know where that tick ended up, and that particular method of distilling water when you can’t find any is not dinner conversation even if you found it an amazing and useful fact.
That isn’t to say he's never evasive himself. Dietrich is known to sometimes shamelessly elaborate on things if he feels they need a little bit more oomph. It's not lying necessarily, but it's not the full truth!
Bullshits - Sometimes people he doesn't trust want to know things he'd rather not say. Like most people he has his own evasions for questions he doesn't want to answer.
However he takes this to a whole new 'art form', he makes no attempts to hide the fact that he's being evasive. After all, who could ever believe that wolves living in the wilds of Hawaii raised him and that his first love was a DoDo bird named Pinkie.
The story changes at least a little every time he's asked, some people find this entertaining, others may find it insulting. Those who know him well know well that it’s not some chronic behavior, nor is it out of malicious intent, but that it’s a coping mechanism for him when he’d rather not talk about something.
Righteous/honorable - He won't throw the first punch and will leap at the chance to save/protect somebody, heedless of the situation or his own consequences. Once the first attack on him is made though, he will strike back.
History:
Dietrich has history with a Childhood friend. He was separated from his friend at the age of 14. When his parents were driving his friend to their house from the airport there was a car crash, his parents died and his friend was assumed to be dead as well. Dietrich never found out if it was an accident or not, his father being a business man he had accumulated enemies that Di knew idly about. Dietrich was taken to his grandfather's house to be raised.
