Actual Backstory (for realsies this time): Logan came from a reasonably wealthy family. Money was not usually an issue for them, and his parents were never stingy when it came to food, clothing, or gifts.
However, they weren't exactly... well,
there
for him.
They provided him what he needed, and usually gave him what he wanted, but they didn't actually spend much time with him. He began to act out to get their attention, but they punished him for it, so he decided he wasn't going to do that anymore because it honestly wasn't worth it.
Combined with difficulties connecting with other kids at school, and he became an introvert. He spent his time alone, with books, video games, or the internet, the latter two being the only form of regular communication he engaged in. His parents began to notice this, but rather than actually address the problem themselves they just signed him up for scouts, where he learned first aid as well as some basic survival skills. He was there for a year before they pulled him out - he wasn't sure why.
Anyhow, he continued his regular lifestyle for the next few years, getting good grades in school and picking up many of the skills mentioned above. Unfortunately, one day the strap of his backpack broke just as he was about to leave for school. In a hurry, he grabbed an old backpack from the deepest depths of his closet - it was the one he used to bring with him on scout camps. He emptied out, shoved his books in, and went to school with that.
Little did he know, his old swiss army knife had been in one of the smaller pockets of the pack. He ended up taking it to school, it got discovered, and that is how he ended up in detention.
Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
