Rueben had a pretty normal childhood until he turned 10, when one day he woke up and noticed that he was growing a beard. He was a little excited to be the first 'grown up' in his class, and the doctors told his worried parents that it was just early puberty.

Once his ears started growing into large round bowls and the tail started coming out, they looked for a second opinion.

A few months before he turned 11, his parents took him out for a special day trip. Rueben was excited since he'd spent most of the last few months stuck indoors, so he put on the large trench-coat his parents had purchased for him and hopped in the car. After a long, silent drive with a tense atmosphere that was starting to scare him a little, his parents ushered him out of the car, walked him over to a strange man and set a large suitcase down at his feet. They drove off without a word and never came back.

That was how he came to be at Willow Park.

The first few months were terrible for him. He was scared, angry and confused. His parents never tried to contact him again, and he was stopped from running away several times. He started to act out, getting into fights and breaking as many rules as he could. The staff were extremely patient with him, and eventually convinced him to take up an artistic hobby and a sport to help him heal and adjust.

In the year since, Rueben has managed to work past a lot of his troubles, all thanks to the efforts of several teachers, classmates, and his counselor, who he sees regularly. He's a budding performer and magician, and does well in his martial arts classes. He's formed a strong bond with the staff of Willow Park Academy, and considers the teachers and students to be his new, only, family.

Finally, he's made peace with what he's become, the Amazing Monkey Man!
