Backstory: Derek grew up in Northridge, a suburb just outside Angeles Bay. After losing his father to an incurable disease, this starts his resolve to become a doctor. After completing his residency e was eager to start operating as a full time surgeon. While he was, at first, slightly irresponsible, he eventually pulled his act together in order to save a car accident victim while no other doctors were available. Derek soon was discovered to possess the Healing Touch. While Robert Hoffman discouraged him from using it, Derek practices until he can invoke it at will. It is helpful to note that his form of this skill is linked to Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. He would tense his index finger and imagine a star, then focus on it to gain an augmented state of concentration. After a successful operation, Derek was noted for his abilities and was offered a job at Caduceus USA. Initially preferring to continue work at Hope Hospital, he eventually understood the threat of GUILT and joined Caduceus, eventually working to become the man to end the threat of GUILT. About the Healing Touch: The Healing Touch is a a mystical power that is believed to have originated from the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, and all users of this skill are believed to descend from him. allows the user to perform superhuman feats while doing surgery, as well as enhancing the user's existing medical knowledge. Two types of Healing Touch can trigger, in addition to the subtypes with differing abilities detailed below. The first is an instinctive one, subconsciously initiated by doctors in an emergency situation. While it has no side effects and can last as long as the emergency situation persists, the doctor has no control over its use, and often users know exactly what to do in said present moment. The second kind is manually activated, usually with the doctor increasing their focus to trigger it, However, in doing so, this type of Healing Touch can be incredibly draining for the user, causing them to faint or black out for a period of time. As such to prevent over-exhaustion, most doctors restrict themselves to manually using the Healing Touch once per operation. Derek was once forced to use it when dismantling a time bomb thanks to the help of anesthesiologist Cybil Myers who was with him at said conference when terrorists attacked and coached him through saving everyone because she once dated a man on the bomb squad.
