''Every Saturday morning since he was old enough to talk, Donny's father would take him out to the shop, fill a galvanized steel bucket with random mechanical parts, and then dump them out on the floor in front of Donny. He wasn't allowed to leave until he'd figured out what each one of those parts was and how it worked, and explained it to his father's satisfaction. Whenever Donny's trying to fit parts together or figure out what some part does, he remembers The Bucket.''

''In the fashion of the time for a certain class of teenager, Donny wears a thick leather cuff on his left wrist. On the exterior is a metal cross on one side and an inset locket-sized picture of his deceased brother on the other. That's how he got the camp staff to let him keep it. They didn't look closely enough to notice that the inside of the cuff contains a small knife, some dental tools, a couple of very small screwdrivers, and various other tiny tools. The backside of the cross itself has a very shallow 10mm socket.''

Horace Girard, Donny's father, was a NASCAR-quality stock car driver. He could have been a contender. Unfortunately for him and his children, however, he went end-over-end in one of his first professional races and was left without sight in his left eye. This ended his racing career.

Describe your character here
−
 
 
−
Horace quickly decided that his sons, then infants, would take up his dreams. The two boys weren't technically twins, but they had been born less than a year apart. Tommy, the older and more physically gifted, was to be the driver. Donny, the younger and smarter, was to be his crew chief.
 
−
 
 
−
That was their whole upbringing, despite their mother's best efforts to enforce some normality. Cary was a lovely, kind woman, but her attempts were consistently undercut by the bullying belligerence of Horace. The boys attended school only because the state required it. Every minute outside of that they were working on cars or learning how to drive or watching races.
 
−
 
 
−
Finally, six months ago came Tommy's first race in a junior, semi-pro dirt track racing league. Donny - already a better mechanic than most adults - had torn down and bored out his brother's ride.
 
−
 
 
−
During the race, the car caught fire and Tommy died. At least, that's what the people watching the race said and what coroner's inquest found.
 
−
 
 
−
But - in the part that was left out of the official reports - the fire wasn't hot. And it didn't burn orange and red like a gasoline fire would. There were strange green and purple flames that left the car itself mostly unharmed but turned Tommy and all of the other organic materials inside into a smoking slurry.
 
−
 
 
−
Horace lost interest in Donny after that. Lost interest in most everything. He's currently somewhere in the process of drinking himself to death.
 
−
 
 
−
Donny changed. Stopped talking. Mostly stopped doing much of anything. His mother has sent him to a camp, now, as a last-ditch effort to get something of her family back.
