Synopsis
History
Morty was raised in a low-income family in Nevada with his older brother and mother. His father left them at an early age and has never returned, thus he had to be tough in his crime-stricken neighbourhood, and learned not associate with bad influences such as his brother's friends.
Midway through highschool, his mother got incarcerated for fraud (?) and since his fathers' whereabouts could not be determined, he was placed under foster case with his uncle, Beck. By then, his brother had left the house in pursit of his aspirations (Morty still does not know of his brothers' whereabouts). Beck was a relatively wealthy person, starting his own business as a car repairer, and had plently of room in his apartment for Morty, but he was a reserved man that did not get along with children well. As such, they talked and hung out rarely; Morty claiming Beck is still a mystery to him. Despite that, it is evident that Beck truly cares for Morty's well-being, such as teaching him how to play the bass guitar and continuing to foster Morty by his request even after his sister was released from prison.
Apparently, Morty has had basal-cell cancer, a usually non-threatening form of skin cancer. It was around his late teens when he noticed a lesion form on his nose. Although he got it easily removed and suffered little consequences, the event has frightened him greatly. He always advises and ensures he wears sunscreen and sunglasses.
