## Backstory

Rocky grew up outside of the kingdoms with his parents and his siblings. He lived a relatively easy life..well as easy as living outside the kingdoms and in Grimm infested forest can be. He was taught how to hunt and kill at a young age by his parents. And by train I mean he was thrown into a Grimm infested forest and was told to survive for a few months, although another reason he was thrown into the forest was because his parents thought he was too lazy and to try and change that they tossed him into the Grimm infested forest. He survived of course, but despite being thrown into a Grimm infested forest and almost dying a couple of time, his attitude and personality never changed. As one would expect this caused conflict in the family, his parents wanted him to change but he didn't want too change, and one day he had gotten into an argument with his parents that escalated to the point where his father said the wrong thing. He had said that he hated Rocky and that he was a disappointment. He of course regretted saying that but before he could make amends Rocky had ran off. They searched for him but they never found him.Rocky had ran away to Vale, and it was here he developed his semblance. He spent a few days hiding in the alleyways of Vale, stealing Lien until he had enough to buy a decent set of clothes, he then applied for a job at a burger joint where he worked for a few weeks before quitting. His life had started picking back up until he heard from a wandering trader about an area outside of the kingdoms was attacked. Fearing his parents were hurt he rushed back to his old home, he may have been angry with his parents but he still loved them. When he finally reached his old home he found it was burnt to the ground and the bodies of his family littered the ground. His father was still alive although he was barely clinging to life, he had apologized to Rocky and gave him his swords..he then died. Rocky had felt an immense amount of grief and he had completely shutdown for a few days. Eventually on his 16th birthday he finally put himself back together. He chose to not dwell on the past and instead focus o the future. He went back to being lazy and sarcastic, but when the time comes he can and will be serious. At the age of 17 he applied for Beacon, he figured that he would need more training to become stronger, and Beacon was the place to go. Although there was another reason..he made a promise..a promise to find out who Killed his family and to get revenge..no matter the cost.
