Doberman Portrait

Graffen Gruntsqueeze

 

In the clockwork chaos of Anthroxville, where time is currency and labor is life, Graffen Gruntsqueeze reigns supreme. The doberman, with a heart as cold as a timecard punch, presides over Pulse Profits, Inc., a temporal trade empire where minutes are minted into money and sweat oils the gears of his grandiose machine.

 

Graffen's disdain for the "Tickers" - Anthroxville's wage-slaves - isn't just business, it's personal. Born from wagery himself, he carries his father's broken dreams like a hidden scar. Slogger, the elder Gruntsqueeze, was once a formidable arm-wrestler whose strength rivaled legends.

In Anthroxville's stratified society, where "Fritters" like Tiffany Taradiddle frolic in opulence, Graffen stands as a bridge and a barrier. He's escaped the tickers' fate, yet can never truly join the fritters. This liminal existence fuels his hatred, driving him to new heights of cruelty and success.

 

As the city throbs with the heartbeat of a thousand timecards, Graffen Gruntsqueeze remains at its core - a living, snarling embodiment of Anthroxville's merciless obsession with time and toil. In this carnival of capitalism gone mad, he's the ringmaster orchestrating a circus where every second counts, and every ticker is just another entry in the ledger of life, up unitl...
