Ramm was born on the continent of Menagerie, in a long house near the main city of Kuo Kuana, to a loving lizard faunus mother. Unfortunately, Ramm’s father lost his life defending the city from a Grimm attack, leaving behind a small fortune and his sword, which Ramm would inherit later on in his life. Ramm’s mother and father used to be apart of a traveling band of mercenaries, selling their services for money and fame. They got slowly but surely developed feelings for one another, married, and settled down in Menagerie, where they knew that their child and themselves would be accepted for who they were. When Ramm was little, the other children would make fun of him for having a beetle horn, calling him a dung beetle or bird food. Because of this, Ramm would often go off and explore the jungle close to their longhouse and observe all of the native fauna there, especially the bugs, as they were one of the few things he could relate himself too.
During one of his outings however, the longhouse and the people living in it suffered an attack from the Grimm. Ramm was in the jungle exploring during this attack, and attracted the attention of a stray beringel. After an extensive chase, the beringel finally landed an indirect attack by smashing a rock, causing it to fragment into smaller pieces like a grenade. Ramm suffered a near fatal wound from the fragments as it split his chest open, and would've died if he wasn't saved by the older faunus warriors and brought back to the longhouse to be healed by a few of the caretakers there.
After a few months of slow recovery, Ramm was back to his old ways, but he started to train in the forest, using his father's sword, as if his encounter with the Grimm had ignited a new flame within him. After a few years passed by, Ramm gave his friends and family a heart felt goodbye as he boarded a boat out of Menagerie to Mistral, where he would go to school at Sanctum to take his first steps in being a hunter. The faunus mostly kept to himself as he studied and trained, occasionally getting bullied by the students that thought they were cool, though Ramm would usually punch his way out of tough situations. This somewhat backfired on him though, as one day he was ganged up on by 8 students who had beef with him. The beetle boy was pushed to the ground and was punched, kicked, and spat on until he unlocked his semblance, pushing all of his assailants away into various walls and trashcans. Ramm limped away from the situation and was never bothered again.
The years passed by as Ramm honed his skills at Sanctum, modifying his father's weapon and even making his own weapon. The faunus graduated from Sanctum and moved on to Haven, hoping to meet some friends and hone his skills even more.
