History
Under construction

Main points to cover:
 * Born to his mother Julia, who is eighteen at the time. Her boyfriend had left her about a month beforehand. She did not want a kid, and she did not have that great of a job. Things are bad.
 * His childhood is a bit chaotic. Julia has trouble holding a job, and they move around a few times. She is out at work for most of the day, so he's passed around between different daycares and babysitters. He never has a consistent caregiver.
 * Before brain injury? Is he mellower? He's always been into sports, he's always been good at sports. He likes being outside with his friends and has a lot of scraped hands and bruised knees. School is okay for a while, but he feels out of place sometimes.
 * He gets his brain injury when he's about ten. He changes noticeably as a person. The hospital is a terrible experience for him, a) because he's a child in an overwhelming, unfamiliar place, and b) his doctors are not amazing people.
 * When he goes back to school, it's a lot different. He's a lot different. Boxing/MMA?
 * Relationship with his mother really starts to deteriorate. Resentment and shame build between them. Julia is overwhelmed and unable to face her feelings of failure, so she starts redirecting all of that at Mike, and Mike kind of internalizes that guilt but also resents her for not supporting him more eugheueh
 * All of those emotions boil over when Julia catches Mike doing something he's not supposed to be doing, like sneaking out. They fight. Julia kicks him out, saying that if he wants to leave so bad, he can leave. Mike tries to get her to let him back in the next day, but no one answers the door. He hops between shelters and different people's houses until he's able to afford his own place.

Personality

 * Reserved, independent. Because he grew up in a home where he was alone most of the time, that made him pretty self-reliant and responsible for himself. He tends to keep things to himself and has trouble asking for help when he needs it.
 * He's practical and pretty down-to-earth about things.
 * Loves his friends and family deeply, in his own quiet way. A big old sap
 * Can be temperamental/moody.
 * Impulsive.
 * can be stubborn
