Ralph

== Basic Information ==
Sometimes known as RalphTheDog, Ralph is a novelty meats (things like jerky, slim jims, pork rinds, etc.) vendor. His business is centered at the Meat Showroom in downtown Lower Duck Pond. From there he sells retail, but also has an online presence and has customers worldwide.
== Personal Life ==
Ralph is 45 years old and lives in a yurt by the pond with Ayla Christie. Romancing Ayla and coming to live with her is the absolute highlight of Ralph's life. Both are very independent people and do their own thing in LDP, but once in a while they appear as a couple. They have a canoe and a pontoon boat. The boat is occasionally a party center, and friends are often asked to join them on a "booze cruise".
Ralph likes to create silly limericks and poems, a tool he used with great success in his courtship of Ayla.
Ralph is very happy now, but still has a few demons chasing him, the result of a complicated and difficult childhood. Occasionally this side of Ralph shows itself when he becomes snarky and impatient. He does not suffer fools gladly.
There have been a few subtle hints that, years ago, Ralph may have sought comfort from Krystal, the mayor-prostitute. But this not something that is spoken of, if it happened at all.
== Origins ==
No one is quite sure about Ralph's background. He came to LDP when he was in his early 20's; no one know from where. It is known that he is highly educated and may have a Masters degree, but no one knows the subject not the universities he attended. People have chatted with friends, wondering how he came to his odd profession, but all is gossip; no one knows much of anything for sure. It is possible that Ayla does, but she's not about to share info with anyone.
