Bryce was born to Macros and Ki-Lana Black on Naboo. Macros was an extremely powerful Gray Jedi, and Ki-Lana was gifted in empathy. His first few years of life were happy, but mostly because his mother kept them that way. He was usually bullied at school, but his mother always knew how to cheer him up. He could feel the Force, but didn't act upon it. The only time his powers manifested was during a fight in school. He could see things before they happened, so he easily won the fight despite being outnumbered.
