Background:
Robert Bruce Banner was the son of Dr. Brian Banner, an atomic scientist, and his wife Rebecca. Although Rebecca deeply loved Bruce, who returned her affection, Brian hated the child. An alcoholic, Brian Banner was driven by an insane jealousy of Bruce for being an object of Rebecca's love. Further, Brian Banner believed that his radiation work had altered his DNA and given him a mutant son. Brian Banner finally murdered Rebecca and was placed in a mental hospital. Bruce, a highly withdrawn, intellectual youth, was raised by his aunt, Mrs. Drake, and internalized his great pain and rage over his childhood sufferings.
Eventually, as an adult and a genius in nuclear physics, Banner went to work at a United States Defense Department nuclear research facility at Desert Base, New Mexico. There Banner met General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross, the Air Force officer in command of the base, and his daughter Betty. Banner and Betty Ross eventually fell in love with each other. Banner designed and oversaw construction of the "Gamma Bomb" or "G-bomb," a nuclear weapon that had a high gamma-radiation output.
Banner was present in the instrumentation bunker at the test site for the first underground test detonation of the Gamma Bomb. Observing that a civilian had breached security and entered the restricted test area, Banner told his colleague Igor Starsky to delay the countdown while he tried to get the civilian to safety. Starsky, secretly a Soviet agent, did nothing, confident that Banner would die in the explosion, bringing the project to a halt. Reaching the civilian, a teenager named Rick Jones, Banner threw him into a protective trench. Before Banner could get himself to safety, the Gamma Bomb detonated, and intense waves of radiation reached the surface. Banner was irradiated with highly charged radioactive particles. Due to an unknown genetic factor in his body, Banner was not killed by the radiation, which instead caused him to transform frequently into the vastly powerful, green-skinned, humanoid monster named "the Hulk" by the military present at the test site.
Personality :
Bruce has quite a kind personality and is always up to help the innocent. He is very dedicated to any work he starts and will always finish.
Hulk has almost no conception of right and wrong and thrives mainly on anger, although there have been several instances where Bruce's conscience has affected Hulk, stopping him from committing murder.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Bruce Banner- a wanted man. No matter where he went, officials, police and even super heroes, followed. Bruce was in a constant battle to escape his fate as a monster, to save countles lives from his murderous outbursts. Every time he was attacked he hoped that one of two things would happen. One- Bruce hoped that he would not kill or Two- Bruce hoped he was killed.
Technically, it wasn't him, it was the furious beast known as the Hulk. A towering monster with green skin and unmatched strength. It wasn't him. It was his responsibility. If it killed, it was on Bruce's head and he wouldn't have it any other way.
"BRUCE BANNER! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!
It was the army- again. Bruce walked to the window of the small hotel he was staying in and looked out. Several large personnel transportation vehicles were spewing out countless soldiers, each with his own automatic rifle. "No! Damn it!
Bruce could feel his pulse rise as each of the soldiers aimed their rifles at the window. It had been a long time since anything had happened, he couldn't control it if it rose--
***
Hulk barrelled out through the tiny door that Banner fit so easily through. He had no idea what was going on, but he knew it was Banner's fault. It was always Banner's fault. Now these men were going to hurt Hulk...unless he hurt them first.
"HULK! SMASH!
Hulk threw himself at the small men in green as they made their metal arms(Which most people didn't have--these were probably special ones) spit fire at Hulk. The bits of fire bounced of Hulk and turned black as they fell to the ground. Hulk swiped away all of the men and they flew, like they always did. Hulk picked up a large green monster and threw it at another one and they turned into fire.
While the men ran around in circles as the flames danced on them, helping Hulk, Hulk tensed his legs and flew. Hulk soared threw the air, getting lower as he did, Hulk wished he could fly like the birds, but he was too heavy. Hulk continued to fly short distances before stopping on the red ground where he always went to be alone. Hulk was always alone.
