* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Went through this a lot in his youth. His father massively resented him for not being his dead older brother, he was a bully in school who got ratted out after a prank gone wrong, was bullied himself in juvenile hall, was entirely friendless once he got out, and was basically alone until he finally started being nice to people.
* AbusiveParents: Not Bruce, himself, but his father, Captain Cutthroat, was emotionally abusive, generally ignoring his son and only acknowledging his existence to bark out orders, and to teach him how to kill the sea life Bruce was growing to love. His mother, Fey Ocean, tried to be a good parent, but her own issues with depression and alcoholism prevent her from giving Bruce the care he needed.
** It's later explained [[http://lopoddity.deviantart.com/art/Collected-doodles-634411289 here]] that the origin of their abusive natures came from the untimely death of their first son, Butch.

* GranolaGuy: For a time during his life he decided to go "all natural" with personal hygiene, where he forewent everything except dust baths to keep himself clean. RealityEnsues when he got such a bad flea problem he had to have a bath and got the most mangy parts of his fur and feathers shaved off, leaving him a miserable wreck. He was much better at taking care of himself afterward. It later turned out that, of course, Chakra talked him into this.

* BiTheWay: Canonically ends up with Cupcake, but one alt-universe shows her happily with Aerostorm. She also dated Iridescence and there was her relationship with Bruce.

* BiTheWay: Canonically ends up with her boss, but the Makoverse eventually ends with her being with Bruce.



* BiTheWay: In canon, he becomes married to Bruce. However, one prominent what-if ship (enough to gets its own DA group) is him and Pandora, where they make a happy couple and he previously dated Peachy Keen and Chakra Blossom. In one of Lop's more recent artworks, it is confirmed that he is bisexual.

* BiTheWay: Not as openly as some other characters in the verse but he's been shown to be receptive to both Finn and Truffles.

Aerostorm is the oldest child and only son of Rainbow Dash and Dumbbell. Despite his massive flying potential, he is content to lay back, kick back and relax, much to her mother's chagrin at times. He ends up happily married with the stallion Bruce. They later have a daughter thanks to Pandora temporarily turning Bruce into a mare. Secretly insecure about living up to Rainbow's ideal for him.
