"Hey baby qué pasa."- Sanders to Adriana
Tomcat AKA-Derek Sanders is the flight Leader for Hellcat Squadran's Beta Wing or 'Devil's Bane' Wing.
Description and Personality[]
He is 5'9", with light blue eyes and has brown hair that he keeps cut short. Other distinguishing features are the large number of tribal tatoos the cover his chest, arms, and back. The most unique tatoo he has is a list of names followed with KIA as a tribute to those he lost in war. His nickname was earned on the ground after his first flight lead saw him with three different women at a bar. The next day she handed him the nick name during the final training mission. He eventually met a young asian american school teacher Sarah Harper. The two fell in love and planed to marry, everyone was happy for them and Sanders planned on finding a new safer line of work. These dreams came crashing down when she joined Kane openly after bombing a barracks at Kaven Base. He was devastated and returned to his old ways. He claims to be a better skirt chaser then a pilot however; those that have seen him fly openly doubt the claims. Altough intelligent he misinterprets words. He is distrust full of certain groups mostly former enemies like the Elites; however if ordered to work with them he will follow orders to the letter. Minors in the squadron are his primary pains.
