I'm making a Ralph game in VX Ace.

I can't find his original description anywhere online! You know, like Eric is A veteran warrior who fought on many battlefields.
He becomes uncontrollable in battle when berserk.


Can anyone tell me the Ralph one?

Since vx didn't have bio windows by default there really isn't one. You could just make your own but on yanfly's status script he put the description:

           "Ralph is a very hot blooded young male whom
            embarked on a journey to save Don Miguel.
            But given his reckless behavior and actions,
            Ralph is known to give his team lots of trouble."

Probably the closest to an 'official' bio that exists though I'd recommend just making your own based on the usual Ralph tropes that are found in script demos and such.

Looking in the VX database, he doesn't have one, none of them do.  Perhaps that is part of his charm?  That he is a blank slate onto which you can write what you like.

Ralph is just a template character, he doesn't have an official description, he's open to interpretation.

This is my own version of Ralph however (in my game):

A childish, naive but generous young paladin, who loves good food and sharped swords.

He's usually accompanied by Ulrika, his best friend and the only person who pulls him out of trouble.

He wields the legendary "Excalibur" and uses his special move "Radiant Blade" to crush his enemies.

He does have an "original bio" if we're going by official works that's only available in the Japanese Trial. Even then, it doesn't tell much.



He also doesn't use Radiant Blade. He does however have Fire and Meteor Strike/Nuclear (VX Terms) as his final. He actually doesn't have ANY physical skills. Most RM Heroes (Actor 1s) are actually magical inclined AND healers (except Aluxes who focused more on magical attacks) despite their weapons having the highest DP (e.g. Alex's final sword).

It wasn't until Erik popped in that we finally have an Actor 1 hero that actually does physical attacks (Gigas Rampage etc.).

Wasn't Ralph a Knight instead of a Paladin? I heard that it was a translation error that never got fixed and Ralph's class was mixed with Lawrence so Lawrence is the Paladin...

Ralph's original Class is either Soldier (戦士) or Warrior-like Look (戦士見). Pretty sure it's Soldier.

They probably mixed it up because RM heroes tend to be closely related to Paladins ._.)

@Archeia:

Bah...I knew it, the "supposed original" Ralph is boring as hell...XD

I still see him as a paladin however, doesn't sounds right to me that a normal soldier or a warrior can use Excalibur.

He's hardly boring. The Description for Excalibur is "A legendary sword used to defeat evil." and he wields TWO of them. I'm guessing that part of it is a shout-out to Arthurian Legend, Caliburn and Excalibur. Twin swords, where common media always confused between the two. The Caliburn being the original Sword Sealed in Stone and Excalibur the Sword from the Lady of the Lake...which Arthur had to obtain after he did a non-chivalric act, losing Caliburn in the process, in order to redeem himself...

Well ...I'll leave it to your imagination... :D

No doubts about the swords...they are beyond awesome, but I was actually referring about Ralph's real temper (or the story of his life), since both the things aren't mentioned at all (not even a word) and we don't know anything concrete about him.

I suppose they want him to be the standard mute hero, or as I said someone open to interpretation, but I'm completely fine with both the things anyway. ;)

I know only the most important things: The Holy Grail, Excalibur, Merlin, The Round Table, Ginevra, Mordred, Morgana ecc...

I only saw some movies if I must be honest, I don't know everything.

Arthur appears either as a great warrior defending Britain from human and supernatural enemies or as a magical figure of folklore, sometimes associated with the Welsh Otherworld, Annwn. OR he can be an embodiment of different kings that represent the 12 wars, etc.etc.etc.

What I find scary here is the fact that also my name is tagged in this thread.

May I ask you why?  :unsure:

No. Ralph is actually a person who, during his teen age life, had a girlfriend he loved so much. Two years later, his girlfriend was killed by a group of rogues. In the inability for Ralph to avenge his girlfriend, he bought an "illusion" drug from a leprechaun. Ralph takes the drug and used it to relieve himself from missing his girlfriend...because the only way for him to be with his girlfriend are his dreams. So you can say Ralph is a drug addicted broken hearted civilian.

@Scythuz + @Dalph Heh heh it was me lol.

I was bored.

@Everyone Thanks for various Ralph descriptions, explanations that tell me that he doesn't have one, and other stuffs! I'll probably do something relating more to the plot of my game for it then.

That also explains the reason why he is the first actor on the actor's database. Because he was the first to die among all of them. He killed himself of guilt over being a useless boyfriend. Ralph's girlfriend was actually Ulrika, who, was killed by Rogues 2 years ago.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
