Bobby D. is nineteen but looks fourteen with his baby smooth face and pimply complexion. His skin is a rich, coffee-colored with a smattering of freckles around his eyes. Bobby's very skinny, just barely above the Army's minimum weight requirement. He has put on weight since carrying the Pig around has improved his upper body strength, which is very muscular compared to his skinny legs. He has gap teeth that he shows whenever he smiles or grins.

[b]History:[/b]

Born in St. Louis, MO in 1943, Bobby is the youngest of four children, conceived just before his dad joined the service. Richard Derricks was killed in action in Italy when Bobby was just ten months old. He never knew Rick Derricks, but the man cast a long shadow on Bobby's life. He idolized his father and wanted to join the Army just like he did. He was fourteen when he saw the 101st Airborne help desegregate Little Rock Central High. Inspired by their example, he wanted to be a Screaming Eagle. At eighteen he joined the Army and trained like hell to become a paratrooper. 

His training paid off as he was inducted into the 101st and became the Pig Man, using the M60 to keep his squad safe. Just a few months into the job, Bobby finds himself heading south to kick some Commie ass.


Bobby D. has a reputation as a class clown among the men and often speaks in the third person.
