Derrik was born youngest of three sibling in 1991. He was born in upper Washington state. Derrik had an older brother and an older sister.

Derrik had an overall normal life. He made several friends on his block growing up. Playing video games, bottle rockets, running around, etc. The continuous adventuring did have its drawbacks as he broke bones, twice. His ankle when he was six and his arm when he was ten. Still these setbacks never dampened his spirits.

Derrik's fun with his his friend didn't last. His father lost his job when he was eights, forcing the family to move chasing work. Derrik and his family moved to lower Michigan. Here he made few friends, but grew closer and spend more time with his brother and sister. It was during his stay in Michigan that he had his first pet, a chow dog by the name of Samson.

Nothing lasts though. Derrik's father was reassigned to the company's Florida division so the family moved again. This was the second time Derrik had to say good-bye to his friends and start over. Samson was his constant friend and companion during this time. He was also close with his family, but siblings are siblings.

In the Florida panhandle Derrik attempted to rebuild his life again. It was here he met Roger, who ended up being one of the closest friends the young teen ever had. Together they weathered three rough hurricane seasons in a row. Sadly for Derrik his dog Samson went missing in his second year. Despite repeated searches, Samson was never found. Roger was there to help Derrik through the this trial in his life.

When Derrik and Roger were seventeen disaster struck again. Roger one day mysteriously disappeared. There was no hurricane or other natural disaster. Roger just vanished without a trace. The only unusual things awas a pile of clothes was left in front of Roger's home computer in his room, positioned as though someone was wearing them. In this setup was Roger's watch. His cell phone and Nintendo DS were in his pockets. The computer was still on, like Roger intended to keep using it. But not trace of Roger was ever found.

Despite this life moved on. Derrik was torn by the loss of his friend, but continued in his education. Graduating high school and starting college. He wanted to get into the culinary arts, baking, but his parents pushed him down the path of a business major. And Derrik was diligent to his studies, though he also kept up his gaming studies.

Then when Derrik was 21 the most life changing event happened to him. Derrik was playing a game on his computer when the screen went white. A strange force pulled his hand to the screen. Once contact was made Derrik literally came apart, disintegrating in his seat, leaving only what he was wearing behind. Derrik vanished from Earth that day.

Derrik awoke in a black void. There he was greeted by an unseen announcer saying he was at Ragel. He prompted to create a character before he could proceed. Being a gamer, Derrik was no stranger to character creators. Seeing as he didn't have much of a choice, and none of his questions were being answered, Derrik proceed to make a character. As he often did in games, he made the character female, and named her Laleine. The designer was extensive, giving him total freedom within set limits. He made Laleine a member of the Beast race after being intrigued by the description of learning new forms. Laleine was made into a the warrior class, masters of the blade. Her appearance is described as the default form above. Then Derrik accepted the character and said he was ready to begin. He blacked out.

Derrik woke up in the middle of a jungle, but he was Derrik anymore. He has woken up as the character he, now she, had created, Laleine. She still remembered she had been Derrik, still remembered her past life, but now Laleine was just that, Laleine. She had acquired a round device on her hand, the PDD. There were a few mental alterations, but not many, mostly to make her use to her new body and to control things like her new ears and tail.

Laleine was in the middle of a jungle, and was quick to encounter hostile creatures. She learned to fight quickly, things taking damage in the fashion of a video game, including damage numbers over their heads. Her PDD on her hand showed and HP value for herself, everything felt so real she did not want to find out what 0 HP would mean for her. While in the jungle she ran into Manson, a member of the Elf race. He helped Laleine get through the jungle and explained where they were to her. About Ragel, beasts, stats. Before they got to the first boss in this RPG world, Laleine got her first level up. It was the most wonderful feeling she had ever experienced.

Then they fought a powerful boss, a multi-element dragon. Laleine just hit and ran around, trying not to get killed while Manson did the heavy work. This resulted in multiple level ups for Laleine and let her get to the city.

The city was a large and vast place, seemingly filled with thousands of people, trapped on this world like she was. But Laleine learned most were computer generated people that filled the city up. There were plenty of trapped people around, but far exceeded by the number of fake people.

For a while Laleine focused on questing, going out into the while to fight monsters, and acquire experience and items. She received several during this time. As her level increased her powers did too and new skills were implanted into her brain. The Beast Dash, Beast Claws, Beast Scan. She also picked up and learned magic for the first time, discs implanting the knowledge of the spells directly into her brain.

With beast scan Laleine began the primary task of the beast race, gaining information from creatures to add to her own stats and abilities. This came to full fruition when at level twenty she gained her final skill, Beast Form, letting her take on the forms of fully scanned creatures.

Full time questing was a dangerous occupation, once she had beast form skill Laleine went to being a part time quester. She enjoyed life at her apartment, playing video games, going to concerts. Ragel didn't seem to different from reality with this, with some perks.

While in the city Laleine met another beast by the name of Styles. Styles it turns out was in fact her old friend Roger. He had been kidnapped into Ragel much like she was. Laleine had been in Ragel for many years by this point. Long use to being a beast, and a girl. So she and Styles grew close, far closer then Derrik and Roger could of ever been. So close in fact they started dating, and eventually married. With a husband at her side Laleine gave up questing all together.

Encouraged by Styles, Laleine pursued her old passion and found full time work in a bakery, it didn't pay anywhere near as well as questing did, but was quite rewarding in its own right. She learned making cakes, breads, cookies, and all sorts of things. She even invented a few of her own recipes.

Life was good for many years this way. But it wasn't to last. Styles was pulled away on a quest in which he was killed, permanently. Grief stricken and now a widow, Laleine vowed to not let that happen to her, so Styles would live on in her memory. She went all out in questing, leveling up further and further, gaining new forms and powers. She was fighting a boss with her ultra strong Niliger form when a breach catapulted her onto Infintias.
