i am definitely interested in learning more about bruteforce's childhood (and about his family in general), especially his family's "violent streak" that you mentioned. 👀

SKJHSJNJSNJ HI!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE REQUEST :DDDD its always good to hear from you and also im. so glad i finally get to talk about the insanity that is this mfer's life before The Murders™

ANYWAYS. headcanon time :D

warning(s): bullying, medical complications (x-rays, false diagnosis, injuries), cannibalism, uhhhhh. a serial killer having supportive parents for once

so first thing's first, his family is huge. granted not all of them live in the same place (a lot of them live out of state, actually), but his parents just kinda. used that as an excuse to go on family vacations all the time LOL

also worth noting here is that he's an only child so uh. yeah no sibling shenanigans here, we already had enough of that with painter— (trust me he still does some fucked up shit later)

as i mentioned somewhere in the tags of this post, his home life was actually pretty good! in general his family gets along with each other surprisingly well & are pretty close, which is surprising because...

..they're all criminally insane!! yeah their murderous tendencies might not be directed towards each other, but they're definitely present.. think stereotypical "mafia crime family" kind of deal but less sophisticated and more. like. redneck? i guess??? LMAO

so yeah, generally. a lot of texas chainsaw vibes (which is kind of ironic because. yknow. he wears a mask made of human skin)

(also in case anyone's wondering, his dad was of italian descent & his mom was of russian descent)

really his behavior as a kid (specifically towards other kids) is a question of nature vs nurture??? because like.. he was kinda raised to be that way, but it was less of his parents making him do it and more of them encouraging him once he'd started doing it on his own

nonetheless he was basically the resident Schoolyard Bully™ in elementary/middle school... he'd just sort of. casually beat people up and steal people's stuff just for kicks

ofcourse someone tried to bring it up with his parents but. you can probably imagine how that ended up

so yeah there was just kind of. nothing anyone could do about it LMAO.. although it's also worth mentioning that some people did fight back (older kids, usually, and yes he'd fuck with them too), which resulted in. lots of injuries, and subsequently lots of x-rays, and that's where the radiation poisoning came from!! :D

he also hit puberty pretty early (like. 8-9 years old), and thats around when The Doll Incident™ happened (as mentioned in the gen hc post)

besides that though not much happened besides his dad deciding "yknow what??? this kid's gonna take over my career when i retire :)"

after middle school he kinda chilled out a little bit??? mostly because he joined the wrestling team and could now beat people up and be rewarded for it

that's also when he met his first girlfriend (they met in a nightclub he lied his way into and he was enchanted by her Neurodivergent Swag™) and committed his first murder (and had his first cannibalism moment!!!!!! good for him <3)

his police training also started at this point, and hanging out with his dad's coworkers kinda made him think "man. the police force kinda sucks. really fucking inept. i wonder how much murder i could get away with before they catch me"

little did he know, though, that's the whole reason why his dad was in the police force.. so that he & his son could get away with murder (and also, to extension, why his dad wanted him to join)

annnd lastly he did end up moving out at 18, but still keeps in touch with his parents (his mom was actually the one who told him about the giant abandoned house in the woods that he moved to LOL)
