Rodolfo

Did ya know? There exists a scrapped member of the The Drake Family Lore known as **Rodolfo** (Also known as **\*Redacted\***, **kcigamEkard**, **Drake Drowned**, **Liquid Drake**, or **DrakeWagick**). He would've played a Counteractive role to DrakeMagick along the lines of a rival, evil twin, or a shadow going to such extremes as to even save Hule from certain death. He sports Drake's color palette (Inverted) as well as tall yellow trouser that restrict his arms.

## Development

**Rodolfo** was the brain child of veteran lead programmer, StefanVsGameDev. Believing Drake needed some sort of Antagonist, StefanVsGameDev based his design on Drake's original, legless PNGtuber model from DrakeMagick 1.0. This explains why **Rodolfo** only wears pants that restrict his arms.

At one point, the team successfully managed to have **Rodolfo** running around the DrakeMagick world in the Beta. All their animations were even done at this point. However, problems started to arise when Drake-u Magick-moto stopped by to checkup on the team's prog. They took a loooooong look at **Rodolfo** and said:

> *Drake-u Magick-moto:*
> "Yeeeeeeah. I'm not sure I want to be related to them."

But that's not all, the team started to bring **Rodolfo's** role into question. After assessing Drake's chaotic neutral character, they figured it'd be redundant trying to give them an evil doppleganger. In a 2020 interview with Skeet Gaming magazine, StefanvsGameDev shared the team's thought process.

> *StefanVsGameDev:*
> "In hindsight, all we really had was Drake and Only Drake to work off of. It made sense; to make this Reverse Flash, Wario-type character to give the DrakeMagick streams this sense of tension. But then you see the test screenings and Drake is torturing themselves with Gingerade, Expired Pretzels, and Bruh Sound Alerts. They're going berserk and killing Hule and we're like, 'Well that's no Help. They are their own worst enemy. They're are literally writing their own plots!' We didn't even bring in a VO to have them say 'Wah!' yet.

**Rodolfo** was ultimately cut at the 11th hour... or... was he?

## Legacy/Creepypasta

Like Herobrine, Golden Freddy or Wario's floating head in the basement of Super Mario 64, many a urban myth surrounding **Rodolfo's** existence have circulated the grapevine. Member's of chat have claimed to see **Rodolfo** glitch in and out of stream when Drake took BRBs to pee. But something about **Rodolfo** was... "Off-Model". Found Footage would come to light showing **Rodolfo** Glitching in with tears of blood, having only his eye sockets, or even both (Ooooooohhh, Scawy.) These rumors were spread all around the internet with some even believing **Rodolfo** was still in the streams. When StefanVsGameDev was approached about said rumors, he was strangely defensive; stating the following.

> StefanVsGameDev:
> "Listen... Rodolfo is Dead. We don't mean "Hule Dead". He's DEAD dead. D.E.A.D. DEAD! Cut, Scrapped, Gone. Literally like Herobrine in Minecraft once upon a time, we had to put "-Removed Rodolfo" with every patch in the notes. It's gotten out of hand. Look! At the end of the day, Drake is the boss, Drake calls the shots. If you claim to be a Data Miner and you say Rodolfo's still in the code, then you are lying through your butt crack. He's Wiped, End of Story.

As of writing, the Rumors still persist and **Rodolfo** has since developed a cult following.
