History:

Sperrings life was never easy. At the age of four he was kicked out of his house, barely able to do anything he found a bin and stayed there. After a week and having eaten nothing and drunken nothing, but rain a neighbour came out and took him in. He stayed there for a year until the lady who was now his mother died. She was killed by a sickness that left her in a coma. Sperring then went in search of his family. What he found were alcoholic drug addicts. His dad having no clue who he was attacked him leaving him with the scar on his left arm. Sperring managed to escape, from that day on he changed, he became guarded and someone no one knew. Losing everything that means everything to you can drive someone to a length were they are no longer kind all the happiness was wiped from his life. Sperring had to beg on the street it drove him made the weakness he felt. When he was seven a boy about twelve, passed him, Sperring was sleeping in the bin he had made into his home. Sperring woke to the sound of laughter he looked up to see the boy laughing at him. Sperring being the person he was with little self-control, he cracked, leaping at the boy he threw a punch at his face. The boy staggered, Sperring kicked him forcing the other boy to the ground. That boy never got up.


The peacekeepers had taken him to the community home. Sperring didn’t stay of course he couldn’t the daily beatings were a memory of worst times. He ran away to the house. The place where the only person in Sperrings life someone had cared. Sperring had begun to believe that his life was never meant to be happy nor pleasant, it would always be hard. Life would always be cruel to him. The house was abandoned so he went inside, Sperring now lives there. At the age of ten Sperring decided to go to school he lacked the right education, but without it he would not be able to get a job. Sperring soon learned that he wasn’t like other normal kids who could read’ spell and speak with a fluent rhythm, the other kids called him retarded, he hated it and would lash out irrationally, usually it ended with a fist fight, leaving the other kid hurt and him stuck in detention. Sperring did have a learning problem, one that prevented him from understanding fully all those things like the timetables and simple spelling words. His speaking became very good Sperring soon learned that words could affect people as much as any physical fight. So Sperring ended up with a smart-ass reputation as well as a brute force one.

Kids left him alone no one approached him, talked to him are looked at him. He ceased to exist in the eyes of the school. Primary school continued on like this. Everything changed in high school. The older students (year 10 and 11’s) noticed him they felt the power and anger that radiated off of him as he walked. Soon they began to pick on him, sensing the vulnerability in his personality. The picked on his disability, but mainly focused on the fact that he had no one and nothing. Sperring tried to ignore them, but his little self-control would not allow it. When the inevitable fight came he ended up bashed and bleeding. The boys were tough from years of hard work, they weren’t weak like primary school kids they were tough. The fact that it was three boys against one didn’t help. After this Sperring never went back to school he taught himself and eventually he got a job. He helped one of the bakery owners, the man was old and fragile, so Sperring did all the tough work, picking and hauling flower bags, mending broken things and helping the baker in anyway. Sperring keeps to himself occasionally getting into fights.
