* Portrait
* Skin

**RipleyTheAxolotl** is a humanoid with the features of an axolotl, such as pink skin, and red gills on the sides of his head. He is lean in appearance and stands at 6'3", making him taller than an average human, due to his species slightly extended limbs, and just below the height to not have to duck when moving through doorways. He has purple eyes, with a scar over the left one. He wears an old, brown tricorn hat, and a gray scarf. His attire usually consists of a short olive coat, on the right shoulder of which are the tattered remnants of a hood attached to the coat. It is made if a strange material, as durable and protective as diamond, yet light and breathable like silk. Ripley has not elaborated on where he got his coat or what ripped the hood. On the harness he wears, he has a tough leather pauldron on the left shoulder, and a quiver of red fletched arrows strapped over his back, along with various pouches and satchels. His footwear consists of riding boots with stirrups, or engineer boots on other occasions. He always wears a pair of black gloves he used to wear to hide his constantly bruised knuckles, now he simply wears them because he likes them.

## Personality

Ripley is a mostly quiet individual, only speaking when necessary. but is usually polite to most people. Due to his long life, he has a sense of worldliness about him, and can sometimes be described as jaded.

## Origins

Not much is known about Ripley, except for the fact that he comes from another realm, implying the existence of other worlds beyond, and a means for traveling them. The way he came to Okan is unknown. His first sighting was at the Bravos election debate, where spectators of the election saw him wander into town. He merely sat down without a word and gazed at the debate with a tired look in his eyes.

After the debate, he was approached by several spectators asking who he was, where he told them he was from a different realm, and that he had been running most of his life. He once owned a bar, but he lost it and his friends to the wars that ravaged the land. On his travels, he has faced many monsters, men, and mysterious magical entities. Now, he simply hopes to settle down for a little while longer, and is looking for anyone in need of a talented brewer.

## Species

Ripley has mentioned that he is an axolotian. Morphologically, they are humanoid axolotians, and extremely rare to come across in any realm.

### Abilities

Axolotians are a species with a wide range of abilities. Compared to humans, they enjoy increased stamina, strength, and speed. They also possess incredible regeneration abilities. This allows them to fully heal from grievous injuries, and regrow amputated limbs. This regenerative ability also grants them seemingly indefinite lifespans, which is how Ripley has had such a long lifespan so far. This healing factor also grows stronger the older an axolotian gets. Ripley has also implied that the creation of the axolotians was achieved through a combination of science and magic, which peculiarly resulted in the species having a high resistance to magic use, but a low capacity for using it themselves, though this does not limit their abilities to use enchanted weapons, tool, or armor.
