Todd's background is never really gotten into, with anyone who knows him. The shape-shifter Mystique recruited Todd early in his high school career, the first of the teenaged Brotherhood mutants. There is never any sign in canon of Todd's parents, and presumably he is either orphaned or abandoned, as he was in comic canon. At some point he lived on the streets, without a real home, and he probably spent time in the foster system when he was very young. The only parental figure he ever has in canon is Mystique, who bosses him around and incites even more acting out than usual in him. She shows nothing for contempt for him despite his (occasional) attempts to please her and protect her. She usually threatens him into obedience, rather than offering rewards.
During the course of his canon, Todd lives at the Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House, a crumbling manor that always seems in various levels of disrepair and disorder. He attends Bayville High in New York State. It seems reasonable to assume he lived in Bayville, NY, prior to the series beginning, due to how familiar the local high school students are with him in the first episode. Most of his time in high school is spent focused more on picking pockets and avoiding being beat up by bullies than actually studying. He is often picked on, whether by other mutants or not.
For a while, he and the others actually drop out of school, after the "testing" Magneto set to the teens and the disappearance of Mystique. They tried "coming out" in a very messy fashion at the high school, and then just never went back. His canon point comes from during this point in time.
Character Development and Relationship Transfer from previous RP: Waking up in a spaceship pod on an alien planet, as part of some multi-cosmic rescue scheme, was not how Todd had expected to spend his last years of high school, but really, it’s been a big improvement over Bayville. He doesn’t have to go to school, he doesn’t have to deal with the cold war between mutants and normal people, and best of all, he doesn’t have to get ordered around by people who seem to think he ought to fight other mutants. Over the course of the year and handful of months he lived on Verdana, he’s won over a couple of friends, he’s learned that the way his authority figures used to treat him was pretty crappy, and he’s actually picked up a modicrum of responsibility, through having a couple part-time jobs and raising a pair of large, furry prehistoric mammals he named Thing One and Thing Two. (Shut up, those are great names. He was super proud of coming up with them.)
So now he knows that there are multiple worlds out there-- and multiple versions of the same person in many of them. He’s had two versions of his fellow Brotherhood mutant Quicksilver, two of his wall-crawling counter-part Nightcrawler, and three of Professor Xavier, plus he’s met two men who look exactly the same but who obviously come from different time periods. Oh, and he’s sorta-kinda got a girlfriend from a post-apocalyptic world. Amazing, right? Lucky for him, said girlfriend has already shown up in the Underworld, or there might be some panicking.
