Long story short, Shero and his mother were kicked onto the streets by the father. They lived there for months without food before Shero's mother finally kicked the bucket. Luckily, Keith was passing by the ally they were in and was able to take Shero while his mother was passing on. Keith's boyfriend Markus decides with him that they'll adopt Shero, even though they're both 16. Shero grows up to be 14 when he decides he wants to go to Storm High to train in becoming the next top 5. His parents agree and that's where his story begins.
