So! The basis of George in this AU is that its a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon type thing, devoid of humans. George was killed, in a tragic way, coming back as a Gastly. He was taken in by a gang, who lacked a ghost and thought he would be useful, being immaterial and all. He could phase through walls, into banks, etc. They also made him battle, evolving him up into a very powerful gengar, making him battle in underground fighting pits, which were fights to the death. He was exceedingly good at it, and brought the gang up to notoriety. Grudge didn't like it, but it was all he knew.
He was a henchman. Powerful but stupid, easy to manipulate.
Until he wasn't.... he snapped and killed everyone in the gang, fleeing. He found himself in town and was taken in by a lonely, very wealthy woman. Her children had been killed, and seeing this poor, confused, abused Gengar she took him in, adopted him (even though he was an adult)
She was an incredibly wealthy woman, who had set up several companies which continued being successful once she stepped aside and hired CEO's to run them for her. She was still integral to decisions for her founded companies. The Van Haunt Corporation, making Grudge, with his new name, George Van Haunt. George wanted for nothing. He was a spoiled, pampered socialite, who's job was to simply enjoy his new found wealth.
Eventually, old age gets everyone but the ghosts and she passed away, leaving George as the sole inheritor to her millions. He was a socialite, attending parties, rubbing elbows with the tippy top of society, perhaps drinking far too much, but in the fun, rich person way. Free wheeling, purposeless, he misses his mother terribly. Also, CEO's now manipulate him. They are vastly more clever than he ,and try to push him around to their agenda, making him sign things he doesn't understand.
He wants things to go back to the way they were....he needs to resurrect his mother...
Cue the story in this au. where he's headed on an adventure to a land plagued by horrific ice storms, in order to find a way to bring his mum back to life to restore the status quo.
And....he's still a really excellent chef
