A small town in Appalachia without much going for it. His mother, Charlene, worked herself to the bone to put his father, Henry through college, and Henry was away at school when Bruce was born. As far as Henry was concerned, all of her efforts paid off, as he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, and found himself a decent job. Henry’s work ethic was every bit as stringent as Charlene’s, and it soon became apparent that his job didn’t leave much energy for a wife and child. Charlene had been under the impression, as she slaved away years before, that the end result would be a happy family with good prospects. She got the family with good prospects right, but she was hardly happy, as she found being a stay at home mom stifling. When Henry got a job offer in Los Angeles, working in the design department of a major auto manufacturer, she simply didn’t go with him. Bruce was nine at this time. Bruce had to become self sufficient at a young age, as his father barely even seemed to notice that Charlene wasn’t still around to take care of their child. He tried taking an interest in his father’s work, to try to get attention from him, and spent a lot of time on the internet learning about how cars function. By twelve, he had an impressive knowledge of vehicle maintenance and repair, as well as a love of cars that would last the rest of his life. And it worked, after a fashion. Henry had as little time as ever for his family, but when he was home, he started talking shop, and was happy to find that his son could follow along most of the time. At seventeen, Bruce was an ace student of Angel Grove High’s auto shop(and took every other class with “shop” in the name, too), though often a below average student in subjects he was less interested in. His refusal to apply himself, along with his faint Appalachian accent, has led to him being seen by most of his classmates as a dullard. Even the ones in his best classes assume his skill with making and repairing things to be a fluke, or merely a savant-like affinity. [/hider]
