Vincent, the champion of the poor, underdeveloped county of Allegretto grew up in the slums with his hard working yet loving mother and his two younger siblings
His father passed away at a young age forcing his mother to work multiple shifts just to afford the basic necessities. Growing up was hard on him but the difficulties of raising his two siblings could not be compared to the torture of his school years.
Vincent was a constant target of bullies due to his ragged clothes and quiet, reserved nature.
Things got much worse when he entered high school.
The bullies were bigger and numerous that he often went home bloody and bruised It seemed things were never going to change until an unexpected stranger came into his life.
On another seemingly ordinary day Vincent was again target pratice for a particular nasty trio of bullies. That was until she appeared.
A larger than life kangaroo that did tiger martial arts he had only seen in the drive thru theatres he used to sneak into.
She was fluent, precise and determined. Vincent was in star struck in awe.
The bullies fled as she put her hand out and helped him up Vincent recognized her as a few years his senior always truanting school with her friends.
She smiled carefully tending to his wounds she gave him an address and time to meet her after school for what she said would really help him.
All day he was filled with nerves and confusion till he finished school and made his way to the given address.
He was not prepared for that he saw it was a run-down dojo. An old tiger sat casually rocking in a chair on the porch in deep talks with the less then amused kangaroo savior from earlier that day.
She smiled warmly at him, a smile he would never forget and kindly encouraged him forward.
He was introduced to Master Razius a master of tiger and dragon kung fu.
Vincent did not know how to act around a master but it seemed of no importance to Razius who took the young bear into the dojo and began showing him stances and expected them to be mimicked.
For hours Vincent was out through his paces. The precision, the dedication though difficult felt natural for him.
Razius too seemed mildly impressed by his progress that he was willing to take him on as a private student.
Vincent was thrilled but explained he had no money and what seemed to be an eternity Razius quietly nodded after a deep contemplation and stated that he was to do chores around the dojo for the lessons. A deal Vincent couldn't have been happier to make.
