BIOGRAPHY:
CW: Mention of death, arrest, explosion/fire, injury
Hiro is a certified genius; unfortunately it's impulse control that generally gets him in trouble.
Academics always came incredibly easy to Hiro, he followed in his late biological parents’ footsteps from the very beginning, right alongside the older brother he idolized. School went by quickly, he graduated high school at fourteen, college at seventeen, and moved to San Francisco where Tadashi had relocated a few years before. A job in robotics development was waiting for him; Hiro jumped at the chance.
The problem came with Hiro's ego; he was exceptionally good at working around what people told him was impossible, but sometimes things were impossible for a reason. He found that out when he managed to blow an entire section of one of the labs up during his experiments. Most of the damage was structural but Hiro injuries required substantial repair as well. Plus he damaged part of a multibillion dollar research lab and that didn't really go over too well with either the authorities or the investors.
He had a small arrest record by the time he went to work but all his infractions were as a minor so they were dropped once he turned eighteen and, at the time, Hiro managed to step around the system and get what he wanted.
That time around it was a little more complicated.
The compromise was one he's not thrilled with; he came away from it with a state of the art prosthetic thanks to Tadashi’s research in medical technology but he's also on probation for the next few years, specifically work release. He was sent back to Florida, to the aunt who raised him, assigned a job where he could be out of the way until his probation was up and he would hopefully stay out of trouble.
Those hopes were probably misplaced; Sidneyland has some very high tech animatronics and Hiro isn't interested in being held back by working for anyone else anymore. He might be stuck on maintenance but it gives him the perfect chance at the inside view of how things around the park work, specifically things he thinks might be very useful in his own research once he can finally get out of that place.
