Post about Fun Ghoul’s childhood, whoop whoop
So the bastard was born in the zones. Or maybe hatched? Who knows! But a group of zonerunners found Him abandoned and dropped him off at Gravel Gertie's Orphanage.
He had a really unstable childhood with Parental Figures coming and going too often, but he always had strong faith in the witch, which explains how he managed to survive years of playing with matches and sharp objects unsupervised.
He and Jet Star were the only two of the Fab Four who were zoneborn. They met when they were 10-11ish because they both hung around Dr. Death's station a lot.
He left Gravel Gertie's as a young teenager to survive on his own, but he fucked that up pretty quick. He went to Dr. D and took a job with him in exchange for a place to sleep. They became real close, and D was pretty much his adoptive Cool Uncle. He eventually met Poison and Kobra when they showed up to Dr. D's in desperate need of medical attention.
His childhood was pretty fucked overall, but he survived? So there's that!
