My eyes went from each of their faces and I kept thinking, "Handsome, so handsome, so so handsome, WHAT A CUTIE PIE". There must be something wrong with me //Facepalm.

*Screams*
Ohgodlookatthem I can't even think of words to express how amazing these guys look!! They are each so unique and amazing, and all of the little details that tie them together! The shape and orientation of their ears, the differences in the fullness of their hair. Gradig looks like he's the most vain bastard ever. <3 And their outfits. Aaaa they fit so well! And Grusom's little hair wrap. *swoons* With that cloak, I can't help but think that perhaps Ford stole it from him when he killed him, and is the same one he wears on a daily basis. ;___; <3
"You know, I've always loved this cloak..." He runs his fingers over the thick, blood-red pile before slipping it off of Grusom's still form. "It would be a shame to let it go to waste. Besides..." A twisted smile tugs at his lips as he glances down impassively. "No need for warmth for you're going."
And the way their names are written, the style reflects their personalities hnnnnng! <3 Grusom, forceful but with flair. Erobring, sensible and curt. Gradig, suave and ostentatious. And Ford. Violent and brash. <3
Welp. I'll be building a shrine for you now. <3 <3

Oh man I had so much fun with all this xD
I LOVE brotherly drama like you'd never believe.
But basically I based all the looks on the names/aspects to ascribed to them all. When you mentioned Gradig was greed, I just though "this lineup needs a narcissistic pretty boy".
In a way, I sort of feel like all of Ford's negative qualities are traits he adopted from his brothers. Grusom's cruelty, Gradig's greed and obsessive nature, Erobring's lust for power and dominance, and then of course we have little Ford who ties all that up with a lovely depraved bow.
I love that you described Erobring's signature as "sensible and curt" because that's how I imagined his personality xD I see him being maybe the lesser of four evils. He's not so much cruel as he is controlling and a bit too ambitious. He seems like he'd be quiet and calculating where as Gradig is loud and proud. He's the diva of the group (and probably the resident sexual deviant). And while all of them have an aspect of vanity, Gradig takes the cake.
I also love the idea you mentioned of their mother being a Hellhound. that gives me such hilarious images of the boys fighting and then their giant mother comes around and snarls at them until they stop. And they know better than to cross their mom. Then I see her taking Ford by the scruff and just trotting away with him xD for some reason I want him to have been a real Mama's Pup. And perhaps he still is heheh.

YES. Gradig as the flamboyant, loud, vain narcissist is just PERFECT. <3 Yes. Yes to everything in this post!! Imagine him sashaying around when he's pleased with himself or he got himself something new and pretty, kind of like Pitch when he dances, but WAY more 'flaming-salsa-dancer'. 8D And he has eye-sex with everything. EVERYTHING.
Erobring as the calm, cool, collected one is totally what I pictured as soon as I saw how you'd drawn him! <3 I can picture he and Gradig are total opposites, but like you mentioned, they watch each others' backs so that Grusom can't get the jump on them. But they still kind of hate each other and SASS AND SNARK all the way. <3
And yes, Ford sees all of their worst qualities and takes them on subconsciously. <3
I imagine that their father would (despite being pretty damn messed up, too) totally spoil all four of his sons and be proud of all of their worst traits. Complimenting Grusom's brutality - Grusom is probably his 'secret' favorite - as well as Erobring's skill in battle, Gradig's collection of pretty things/people/whatever, and Ford's resilience and ferocity.
I'm so glad you're okay with the idea of their mother being a Hellhound! <3 She would be the ultimate matriarch, keeping her pups in line. And I figured that Death left her alive when he destroyed the rest, and keeps her well-fed and clean and safe and happy. And when she gets lonely, that's when he expands his pack to include more red Hellhounds, and he takes these into battle with him. He'd totally only have female hounds, too, because the thought of anything getting too close to his mother freaks him out. XD

Ahahaha he's just like Archer. Obsessed with his mom to a near creepy/pathetic degree. And I totally agree with Grusom being the favorite, as he's the eldest, and possibly the most like his father. Oh man, and I forgot to mention this last time, but the idea that Ford stole Grusom's pelt and cloak after murdering him is GORGEOUS! I love it! I actually had that somewhat in mind when designing him xD
And absolutely yes to what you said about Gradig. I can see him kidnapping weaker spirits which he fancies and making a collection of them to do with as he pleases. Naturally that's where Ford gets it from xD
Also, it's completely up to you, but I sort of would love for Ford's mother to be a part of the pack he brings along when hunting for Pitch xD fff he goes running to his mommy after his little pet runs away.

Yes yes yes! Death may not bring her into battle anymore, but when Pitch goes missing, she's the only one he can rely on to listen to him when he is absolutely wrecked about it. ;___; 3 She'd nuzzle him, lick his face, and basically be like "let's go get your bitch back, honey".
Gradig would have a little HAREM. XD I imagine he wouldn't really brutalize them, but he'd love to humiliate them and make them have orgies and everything else he could possibly want. The other brothers are like 'dude Gradig no. Put them away they're making out on the dining room table. And everywhere else. Why is that one sucking on your boot heel. Seriously, Gradig, no, tell them to stop plz I'm going to need more therapy than usual'.
Mwahaha seriously, you are amazing!! <3

Baww Ford may be an irredeemable monster but he still loves his mommy ;____;
Hahahah I imagine Gradig might try to "teach" little Ford about the ways of sexual deviance. He'll be like "Hey Ford, come here and sit with me. We're going to watch a little spectacle." And that spectacle is naturally something inappropriately kinky but there's Ford just like 8D "Can I try!!!"
I'll bet you anything the first time Ford got laid it was via Gradig's brotherly "guidance".

And his mommy loves him. <3 She can't even hate him after he killed her other children. ;__;
Oh god now I can see him trying to rationalize that to Pitch, disregarding and playing down Pitch's dismay because, well, his own mother got over it, why can't Pitch? It was just one child, after all. /3
Hahahaha!! Oh my god yes. Ford is like. Ooooh, I get why you're having them do this kind of thing all the time! XD
Oh man. Yes. *I will not write this yet I will not write this yet I will not write this yet*

Hehehe too many head canons to even handle. This is so addicting. And I think that's such an interesting rationalization for Lord Death. He's like "The kid wasn't even born yet .___. I don't get why he's making a fuss"
My god. I love this character you've crated. He's taken over my brain.

YES. Yes exactly. God he's so awful. <3
He's like... our crazy lovechild. XD We both put in bits and pieces until he became this addicting sexy beast of amazing.
