But all knew that he worked tirelessly to break free of his impoverished fate, and this intimidated them. When he fortunately survived a terrible mining accident, nobody came to hear out his experiences during the time. All they did was give him a few token words of comfort, and then they gave him a wide, wide berth. Norton himself never once brought up the terrible experience again, only silently polishing the large chunk of magnetic ore he received in the accident into a tool for prospecting metals. Eventually he gave up manual labour, and became a prospector. But his personality became all the more extreme, at times gloomy and depressed, while at times explosively hot tempered and avaricious. Rumour has it that the magnets disturbed his brain, or that that terrible mining incident tangled him up inside. But one thing never changed. He always sought out chances to change his fate. Background(( Norton was a boy who lost his parents at an early age. When his father died of black lung, he was forced to work and learn how to take care of himself while still young. He became a miner like his father, but due to conditions of that time, this didn't earn him very much. Norton was desperate to change his fate and live a better life, resulting in him learning and working harder than most others, which "intimidated" those around him. Even so, he persevered, and soon he was able to improve his reputation despite the mockery of those in the mines, due to his efforts at work which earned the respect of the superiors and his visits to the elderly. Eventually, Norton met Benny, an old miner who was once a friend of his father. Benny shows him a list of 13 locations, of which there might be gold in the stone of the mine. As Norton had been doing everything he could to find valuable mine locations in order to quickly get out of poverty, he took the list and began searching the locations. In impatience, after 12 of the 13 mines came up empty, Norton set off dynamite in the last location, which caused the entire place to collapse. Right as a search and rescue team were about to give up finding any survivors in the rubble, Norton was discovered a few dozen meters away from the entrance of the mine, having dug his way out of the cave through a mountain creek. He was the only survivor of the mining accident. As he recovered alone in the hospital, he refined the piece of meteorite he had obtained into a magnet, which he used to change professions from a miner into a geological prospector where he obtained his desired stability, but not the immense wealth he dreamed of. His personality changed after the incident, causing him to swap between gloomy and depressed, or hot-tempered and avaricious.))
