Gründer

**Gründer Secundus** is a Gridmask from the Primaris Compound.

## Background Information

Gründer Secundus was born to the demi-god daughter of a cult leader in Mavus. As a child, Grün was taught that she was superior in every way to the 'inferior plebians' of Ludus. While growing up, Grün's intelligence was only matched by her own ego, and she was a rising star within the Primaris Compound's hierarchy, and her mother's ranking of Grün and her sisters. Ever seeking to push her limits further and further, Grün only began to fall behind in status when she hit puberty. While only a few of her sisters inherited their deity's supernatural beauty, Grün was unlucky enough to develop a severe grease problem from her feathers and hair. Grün's resulting 'fall from grace' ended with her having an outburst of rage against her mother and the cult that she lived in, culminating in her leaving the Compound, and her sheltered life.

Having grown up isolated in the cult's bunker-like compound, and been treated like royalty for the first eighteen years of her life, Grün's social skills are comparatively lacking. After being completely outshined by all her sisters, she chose to leave Mavus, and head for Gredile, settling in Steckenburg. While in Steckenburg, Grün went through college, and tried to make a name for herself.

Having held, and been fired from a variety of jobs, Grün's life has since been a rocky one, though she's always been able to subsist upon the profits from her only reliable source of income, cybercrime.

Eventually Grün found herself as the Janitor at the I&Q Monster Training Facility.

## Appearance and Personality

Gründer Secundus is a Demi-Demi God with short oily black hair that has green highlights, dark black eyes, and pasty white skin. Grün has massive angel-like wings with plumage similar to those of an albatross, and a 30ft wingspan. These wings are supernaturally flexible, and Grün tends to wrap them around herself like a dress or a skirt, even though they sprout from her shoulder blades. Due to Grün's status as a "seabird," she has a thick layer of grease that drips from her hair and feathers, giving her an oily and unwashed look.

Having been born as a member of The Daughters of Light, Grün was taught that her angelic bloodline and birthright made her superior to the unenlightened animals that made up the other inhabitants of Ludus. As a result of her upbringing, Grün's chronic grease issue has resulted in her having very low self esteem, and it's affected her enough that she has begun to practically give up on personal hygene. Though highly intelligent, Grün's life experiences have rendered her a defeatist, and she tends to spend most of her time finding scapegoats to blame her problems on. Grün has been lonely for most of her life, and in an attempt to live up to the beauty of her sisters, tries her hardest to flirt with everyone she meets.

## Relationships

### Mother

Grün's relationship with her mother was a rocky one, due to her mother's encouragement of competitiveness between Grün and her sisters. Grün idolizes her mother's status, viewing her as an "**Incarnation of beauty, with awesome destructive power, desired by anyone and everyone, *regardless of orientation!***" Grün doesn't really think of her mother as a person due to the detached nature of how she was raised, but more of as a goddess, fitting to her mother's nature as a Demi-God

### Sisters

Due to the competitive environment in which they were raised, Grün despises her sisters, and views them as airheaded fools who stole her mother's favor from her, and turned Grün into what she views herself to be now, a failure. In truth, Grün tends to use her sisters as a scapegoat whenever she has anyone she wants to blame.

### Isles & Quint

As merely a janitor in a subdivision of I&Q, Grün has never really been in contact with any of the real members of the I&Q staff. But, as her job there is longest she has ever held a job down in her entire life, she'd probably fight through scores of monsters just to keep it.

## Skills and Abilities

* Grün's intelligence is probably her greatest trait; she's able to quickly solve puzzles, do mathematical calculations, and recognize patterns with ease.
* She is a highly skilled programmer, being able to code software for advanced robots, and write programs to assist her in hacking into secure systems.
* Her lineage as the descendant of a god has provided her with several supernatural abilities.
	+ She can harden her skin, bone, hair, and feathers to be completely unbreakable, rendering her immune to any form of piercing or slashing attack.
	+ The grease that comes from her hair and feathers is not only fireproof, but it's also a fire retardant.
	+ Though Grün never learned magic, her bloodline gives her a potent ability to do so, but this also means she leaves a notable magic trail that any trained magician could be able to track
* She is extremely proficient with her wings, being much more competent while flying than on land.
	+ When Grün hardens her wings, she is able to use them like large cutting blades, due to the thin edges of her feathers acting like razor blades.
* Grün is almost comically clumsy when she isn't focused or in the air.

### Trivia

* Grün's absolutely horrid attempts at flirtatiousness and inability to get laid was inspired by the concept of a genderbent incel, but grew into an actual character.
