User:Kastera1000/Derrick Payne

Derrick Payne is the waiter of Master's Bar and Grill in Coyote Bluff in 2281.

Background
Derrick was born in 2253 to a wealthy brahmin baron on the eastern edge of the New California Republic. His father used his connections with the Alamosa Trading Company to get Derrick a job at his request. However, Derrick was didn't excelled as a caravan guard as much as he had hoped, often slacking on the job or mysteriously not being around when a caravan was under attack. This lead to him having the reputation of an untrustworthy greenhorn. But what Derrick lacked in caravaneer skills, he made up for in culinary skills.

When his caravan (which included Bill Ackerman, "Texas" Calhoun, Kate Parker and Cole Masters) happened upon the remains of Coyote Bluff in 2275, Derrick helped hand out food and supplies to the raid survivors with Kate. From there, he joined efforts with Cole in serving food and making the caps, while his partner hopelessly spends it on alcohol.

Other interactions

 * In dialogue, the player can ask Derrick if he's experimented with any recipes lately. He will remark that he has, but it was a failure. Inquiring, he will tell you about fire cakes and tell you how awful they taste.
 * With a Speech check of 60, you can convince him to share the recipe with you. Otherwise, he'll keep the recipe to himself, not wanting to share such an embarrasing recipe with anyone.
