## Biography

### Before the Curse

#### Early Life

##### Childhood

Hiccup Haddock was born to Stoick the Vast and Valka, who was believed dead after a dragon invaded their home and trying to protect Hiccup Valka was carried away. After that Stoick tried to protect his son as much as he could, especially with how small he was. As he grew older, Hiccup started working for Gobber in the Blacksmith, doing small basic tasks before he finally was allowed to work on more dangerous tasks such as sharpening the weapons.

When the dragons would attack each night, Hiccup would work with Gobber to repair the other Viking’s weapons so they could go back out to defend Berk as quickly as possible. This continued the same way until one night Hiccup built a canon that would launch a bola to capture a dragon, this works and he successfully captures a Night Fury.

The next day Hiccup went out exploring Berk, trying to find the dragon he’d shot down so he could retrieve it’s heart and finally prove to his dad he was a viking. He had limited success until he came across broken trees, upon following them he came across Toothless who he quickly freed feeling bad for his actions.

##### Training Toothless

Upon returning home Stoick informed him that he would be starting Dragon Training the very next day with Gobber, though he tried to protest it didn’t work. Hiccup started the training with the other kids, Astrid, Tuffnut and Ruffnut, Fishlegs and Snotlout who all disliked him. Hiccup spent most of his freetime after training with Toothless slowly forming a bond with the creature, which helped him defeat the other dragons without hurting them

Over time, he made a functioning tail for Toothless as well as a harness and saddle so he could ride him without danger. That was until Hiccup was set to kill the dragon to complete his training when Toothless came to rescue him, Stoick captured him and used him to lead them to the dragon’s nest.

Recruiting the rest of the group, Hiccup taught them how to train and ride the dragon’s without risking themselves and lead the group to the island to fight the dragon queen. During the fight, Toothless’ tail burnt up and lead both of them falling to the ground, in which Hiccup lost his leg. After this dragon’s were soon welcomed to Berk and became apart of life there.

#### Race To The Edge

Trying to balance the dragons, vikings as well as training the new generation of dragon riders, Hiccup and the rest of the riders fly out to set up camp away from Berk so they can protect it if any other enemies try to attack them again. At this time Hiccup finds a mysterious object that when a dragon’s fire is projected through it, it projects images of many different dragon species that they had yet to discover.

Over the time spent at Dragon’s Edge, Hiccup develops his signature weapon and flight suit, his weapon combines monstrous nightmare saliva to light the sword on fire and the other end contains Hideous Zippleback gas, that ignites with a spark. The flight suit allows him to glide in the air incase he ever gets separated from Toothless midair.

The Riders eventually abandoned Dragon’s Edge partly due to the active volcano that covered the island in hardened lava, and the battle that took place. Before leaving both Dragon’s Eyes are destroyed so they will never fall into the wrong hands again.

### Storybrooke Life

#### Early Life

##### Childhood

Finlay Haig was born to Stuart Haig and Kirstin Haig, who was believed to be dead after a home invasion when Finlay was only a couple months old. After that event Douglas Stirling, Stuart’s best friend, stepped in to help so they could continue running their joint company, Haig and Stirling Motors.

As soon as he was old enough to use the tool safely, Douglas took him under his wing as an apprentice teaching all about how the engine works, and allowing him to help with multiple different vehicles. By the age of 15 Finlay was working part time at the mechanic while also going to school.

##### Teen Years

Every year Douglas ran a competition with the rest of the teenagers, they were required to build a functioning engine from scratch, and then with the engine take it out for a test drive, Finlay had never entered until that year. When taking his kart out for the ride, the engine malfunctioned causing it to flip over and Finlay to be caught underneath the kart. That accident resulted in him losing the lower part of his left leg.

After his accident all the kart competitions were cancelled, and Finlay stayed in hospital for a month to go through physical therapy to help him get used to the lack of lower leg. It took about a year for a prosthetic to be made that was easy to use when working in the shop, but even then it still was clunky and uncomfortable so with Douglas’ help, Finlay designed his own prosthetic.
