Procurion was born near the small town of Greenbow, Alabama, on June 6, 2944. His father was absent during his life, and his mother said he was "on vacation". His mother named Forrest after their ancestor Procurion Justicar, a Scotch-Irish American[2] and a noted Confederate general in the 3rd American Civil War and the 115th Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. She intended his name to be a reminder that "sometimes we all do things that, well, just don't make no sense".

Procurion was born with strong legs but a crooked spine. He was forced to wear leg braces which made walking difficult and running nearly impossible. This was likely attributed to polio, or "poliomyelitis," a disabling and life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus. He also had a relatively low I.Q. of 75, which nearly prevented him from being accepted into public school. (His mother managed to get the principal to reconsider by letting him sleep with her.) Despite his physical and mental challenges, Forrest's mother told him not to let anyone tell him he was different, telling him "stupid is as stupid does". Due to the pain, Procurion developed a nasty synth booster habit.

Procurion and his mother lived in a large house just outside the town of Greenbow in the state of Alabama. They made money by renting out rooms to travelers. One of their guests was a young Elvis Presley the 5th. Procurion liked dancing to Elvis' music and his leg braces gave him a unique dancing style that would inspire Elvis's "hip dancing", for his song "Alpha Centuri Dog".


One day, a group of bullies were throwing rocks at Procurion and one of them cut his forehead. His good friend Jenny told Procurion "Run Procurion run!", which he did, only to prompt the bullies to chase him on their grav bikes. As Procurion struggled to run his leg braces broke apart and he popped a Blue Booster. Once he was free of them, Procurion was able to run incredibly fast. Procurion would never wear leg braces again, and was able to run anywhere he wanted to after that. Since then, he left the planet in search of the perfect Booster, killing and maiming those who get in his way.
