They moved to another city with the money they had in the bank, and started over. They lived in a cheap house, barely making the payments, however, they got by with what they had, and they were happy together. But, one day, Bruce’s mom was hit by a drunk driver when she was walking home from work, leaving Bruce an orphan at the age of ten. Their house was repossessed, as they had barely been scraping by, leaving Bruce with no possessions in his name.

Bruce was taken to an orphanage, where he was picked on and mocked because of his scrawny size, which made him an easy target for bullies. The living conditions were bearable, but not comfortable. As such, Bruce thought up a plan to run away as soon as he could, and left the orphanage one night when he was fifteen.

Bruce lived on the streets, where he had to learn to fight and toughen up to survive being attacked by lots of gangs. He stole food and water from convenience stores, sleeping in back alleys, or squatting in vacant houses if they could be found.

Bruce carried on this lifestyle until he was twenty two, when he got himself his first real job, working as a janitor at a gym and dojo. He earned some extra pocket money, and was given free access to the gym’s facilities, and their combat classes. Bruce learned a variety of martial arts at the gym, and also worked out frequently to bulk up his size.

Now, Bruce is an accomplished street fighter, taking on his street fighting name of Dragon after having heard an urban legend told about him. This legend claimed that Bruce had learned to fight from dragons themselves. However, there is no truth to this legend. Although Bruce is an inhumanly good fighter, this is due to his father’s Konat genes, which have helped him learn to control ki energy in combat.
