[disturbingbackstory]

it's the same paul and belle anon! I like your rainer, he is very unique, what were your inspirations behind his design? could you tell me more about his scars and bandages and etc

Thank you, and funnily enough, the inspiration behind my Rainer is... moi <3 and also Trent Re/znor in terms of appearance

I think Rainer is a type of person who really wants to be in control of things. His life was very turbulent, so he felt the need to reestablish himself as his own boss. It started with him accidentally getting hit by a car and deciding to "shave off the negative energy" with a buzzcut after his hair became too long in the hospital, and continued into self-destruction in the form of not treating himself if he got hurt, "choosing" a path. Rainer also originally was very sporty and quite big, but after Michael's death he also took the lack of sleep and food as a way to be in control of his life. Jill and Thomas were too distraught by the chain of events in relation to Marvin to really pay attention to their adult son.
