Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Derrick Warren

Nickname: He won't respond to Rick or Ricky.

Gender/Pronoun: He/him

Age: 38

Birthday: July 9, 1984

Sign: Cancer

Gemstone: Ruby

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: On the "simple side" Chicken Fettuccine from scratch, a simple meal that can have depth of flavor. But a good Beef Wellington that takes time, effort, preparation, and care is unmatched in its succulent decadence. If you can't experience the finer things in food then how can you experience the finer things in life itself?

Hated Food: Instant meals, TV Dinners. A microwave is for an uncultured swine.

Occupation: Private aircraft pilot for the CEO of a corporate company that has locations worldwide. An excellent way to taste the exceptional cuisine of every nation.

Hobbies:

Food Connoisseur: What's a flight around the world without a few new meals to try? To see the world is one thing, but to taste it is truly eye-opening. You cannot compare frozen lasagne to an Italian chef's masterpiece, nor can you compare the cheap disgust of Taco Bell to the street foods of Mexico. Derrick would describe the difference between Chicago-style pizza and New York-style pizza but that is one debate he's not willing to engage with.

Oil Painting: True oil painting takes time. Each layer can take days to dry before he will add to it, during which time he is usually flying across the country and at times to another continent. For him, it is important that when viewing his art the viewer would be unsure if it was a painting or a photograph. He doesn't want his art to look cheap like a Bob Ross painting.

Virtues:

Gentlemanly: A byproduct of how Derrick was raised and perpetuated by the professionalism he must adhere to in his career. He always strives to put his best foot forward despite others' lack of decorum, social ineptitude, and economic or social status. Often gives a new acquaintance the benefit of the doubt before making any snap judgments. He leads by example by fighting for what is fair and right and will own up to his mistakes.

Forgiving: Nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Holding a grudge won't get him anywhere in the long run. An old saying he will always remember is an eye for an eye means the whole world ends up blind.

Flaws:

High Standards: Derrick not only expects excellence from himself but also from those he associates with. If you're going to do something half-assed don't bother doing it at all, hire an expert and just pay their fee. Do or do not, there is no try.

Conceited: Sometimes Derrick cannot read the room and can carry on about his own experiences with world travel. He has an inflated self-image and perceives himself as incredibly entertaining, sophisticated and well-mannered. He is for sure at least one of these three, however, others may just view him as arrogant or self-centered.
