Who is Ralph?

[Alkorri]

Alright, I'm probably opening a can of worms but I'm finally asking: Who is Ralph? And why on earth is he so popular?

As someone who has never bought the earlier RPG Makers, I feel like I'm missing something. I've Google searched for Ralph, tried to read wikis about him, even searched for his name in the forums, but nothing ;D

And yet he is so popular that there are countless emosets of him, edits, recolours. Ralph as a brunette, Ralph in girl's clothes, Ralph turned into a scary avatar (eyes Dalph nervously).

Come to think of it, who are all these characters with him? Are all these characters featured in some kind of anime or manga in Japan? Is there some sample game I should be playing featuring these characters but Steam ate it up along with their missing busts??

Any insight from the veterans is most welcome!

Ralph is Actor 1 and appeared in VX.

As for his mystical significance and impact on the collective psyche of the RM world, the words of a mere mortal such as myself cannot do him justice.  Like the dawn he can only be experienced, never adequately described.

He does, however, have many followers who have devoted countless hours to delving into his mysteries and perhaps one or two of these may share with you something of the ineffable qualities he so admirably embodies.

Exactly! It's like, the Cult of Ralph

I edited in an additional paragraph, probably while you were typing, and perhaps someone may take up the impossible challenge I suggest there.

don't know which is more popular, but Ralph as one of VX RTP Characters is popular yeah still popular as RTP characters, same as Aluxes in RMXP and Eric in RMVXAce maybe that's how the first RTP characters destined with they're being putted on many demos and games, but as they appeared again and again, people tend to get bored of them. but because there weren't any simple choice, so they still used ralph/aluxes/eric it's like a round to round destiny

Ralph doesn't exist at all in truth, he's just a worldwide RTP hallucination created by the Queen of Tears.

And I'm more than just a scary avatar, I'm in truth the real and first character of the VX RTPs (which is a villain and not an hero), but I've been banished and replaced because I was too crazy and evil.

Now you will wonder who is the Queen of Tears?

Nobody knows this exactly, but...she's an entity who is in fact above everything else (a sort of dark goddess).

And as far as I know, there isn't a Cult of Ralph, or someone would have informed me.

I've always figured that the whole Ralph persona is like an internet meme, built up by fandom and games. And, you know, Archea's awesome art. With events like the Christmas thing where random RTP characters ran around the forums run by Mods and Admins, quite a few of them have defined personalities now.

Ralph represents many things.  To some... he represents a hero, to some... a bear lord, to some.... he represents divinity, to some... a random kid who needs babysitting, to some... he is a pythagoras theorem.

Most of all, he is open to interpretation... body, soul and mind.

To some others...someone to kill...but he isn't as divine as you describe him Scythuz, he's just a template.

Shall I teach you of the Church of RMN?

No, seriously, we have a religion. With rules. There's a whole topic about it.

Ralph is Actor1 of RPG Maker VX. He's the advent of RM's comeback after an event called, The Fall of RMXP, which isolated far too many RM2k/3ers from moving on to the next generation of RM.

But some argue he's the Islamic counterpart of RM Religion as Aluxes is regarded as a direct descendant of Son of RM. Being that the acronyms of RM2k and RMXP for the default actors is ABCDEFG. With an added H for RMXP and the first appearance of the miracle called RGSS.

But RMVX started team RUBYLOVE which has introduced all sorts of miracles to our community with wieldy RGSS2 and rumored to have come from the Jewish Kabbalah, Sephiroth itself which RMXP rejected. Ralph's presence in numerous VX Script demos, community games and first time games is on par with Alex thus making him one of the holy figures of the church of RM, alongside with RMVX Elmer and Oscar.

And its direct descendant, RMVXAce has ENTERBRAIN for acronyms and is considered the best has him returning as a Retired Hero/Badass in their Japanese Trial Game, dual wielding excaliburs and can act twice, effectively soloing the final boss, Satan.

I've been enlightened... twice!

During my adventure to act as a scribe for RM history at the form of Steam Trading Cards, I had uncovered so many things. Such as conspiracies, if anyone would like to read my findings, I would be willing to share if asked.

I would need to write an entirely new topic about this because it starts in RPG Maker 95 and see the connections all throughout the RMs till RMVXA

 

[ShinGamix]

This is a joke, right? Please tell me you're not actually serious...

My mind is blown!   Yes, I am curious to hear of these "conspiracies". I don't mind if you bring it out here, Archeia
