SO I draw Grunder...I mean a lot. I've not given enough time here to really talk about stuff I've developed about him since I created him. It's easier to talk about his personality and his actions rather then where he came from. Be forwarded, he is a very offensive dude and if this bothers some people then feel free to stop reading at any point. If you're ok with it, then keep on reading.
Grunder is mostly pure rage, but the range of his expressions are from lazy to mischievous, and over all just grumpy. Grunder can’t feel sadness or joy or any feeling associated with innocence. He’s completely lost the memories of how to feel that way. The pleasure he feels is mostly through sexual means or just being a smarmy ass. You might be able to find moments where his past self shows up and starts to appear normal, but he returns to his usual personality before his brain hurts from once having a conscience.
Grunder is smart…and strong. If you actually find a way to trick him you better watch out. He might not be able to get his revenge the 1st time, but he is very aware of his surroundings, and his behavior is like that of a crow or a spider. Just wait long enough, and they will let their guard down. People have lost an eye when his fingers have plucked them out…they didn’t see it comeing.
Grunder doesn’t like to make empty threats. When he says he’s gonna do something he plans on doing it. Even if you can’t see him, he’s watching you and judging you with his eyes. Don’t spit, don’t litter, and certainly don’t loiter in his stairway. Only a few times he’ll do what Milly says, which he explains that it’s because she’s the owner of the hotel.
For the most part his hands are actual hands…The claws are not his finger nails, but his whole finger morphing into a sharp blade. Like bone stretching out and becoming solid and sharp. They make a great self defense against demons, but against mortals it’ll be like being cut by a splintered piece of wood. The real damage you feel is from him choking you with his vice grip crushing your heart. He'd managed to kill several elderly and fat people by crushing their heart, which doctors can only report as the victims dieing of a heart attack.
Grunder is a dirty asshole. Snot, piss, farts, cum, blood, if he can do it he'll wipe it on you. Yet because he's dead and doesn't have a body to physically produce those fluids, all you get are just the feelings and the smells of what he does to you. You'll feel a weird liquid hit you, but you won't be wet. Or you'll feel his tongue slide along your arm, but it'll just raise goose pimples. Some people reported that they smelt bad for a week after meeting him but could never figure out why.
That doesn't mean he doesn't have desires of his once living body. He remembers fondly needing to smoke or needing a drink, yet has lost the need to eat or the need to drink after being dead for so long. The feelings he has left are the ability to physically touch someone or something and being able to describe it. His sense of smell is still very acute and can smell death from a mile away. His vision is in question as he can see things that living humans can't see (Like a beating heart) while at the same time not being able to make out details of real world items. The images on a flat surface come out the clearest, such as being able to see what is on Milly's laptop, but not words on a t-shirt or a crumpled newspaper. Everything he can describe about the hotel is based on memory alone.
Grunder's few moments of kindness show up in odd ways, such as when he's in the presence of Asian women. But young girls need to be wary, he has no limitations for his attraction to a girl who wants him. He also has an interest in spiders, and gets angry at those people who squish them.
His kindness to Milly shows up later, after he's gotten to know her better, but he never explains to her why he chooses to obay her requests all the while still harasses her. He does it mostly for attention.
