> *Ralph Huggins - he is a white guy from a posh family whos decided very stupidly to try to make people believe he is from the streets. He's going to be trying to commit crimes, even tho he's a bit scared of violence and confrontations, and trying to make people believe he is a real g with his gangster rapping. Planning on teaming up with GusboOnTwitch who is going to be my hype man and accomplice Johnny Pipes*

It would take a while for Gusbo to join the city, eventually naming his character Mikey Pipes

## Character traits

Ralph is a chaotic-good aligned character. Even through his crime days he's shown a moral compass to do good to people, eventually refusing to do crimes he felt were wrong such as drug dealing and not involving himself in gang on gang violence.

Ralph has a huge need to be liked by people and on most occasions will end a call with a "love you". This has led him to gravitate towards people who don't show him as much affection, with Ralph desperately trying to find some kind words. With most people he's met he's always tried to be nice (with a few exceptions) usually referring to everyone as Sir or Ma'am. He's extremely nervous but as he's grown more confident he's stopped being so easily walked over.

Ralph has a massive inferiority complex and fear of failure. He is desperate to prove himself to be a success in some way in the city. He can often get paranoid and make self destructive decisions when he gets angry or upset. He's incredibly loyal to the people he cares about, however has also shown himself to be easily led by people who are nice to him.

In his crime days Ralph would often show sparks of creativity in the way he would attempt to get out of arrests, even if those attempts were almost always failures they would usually entertain the PD enough that the charges would get lowered. Since leaving crime Ralphs creativity has been more focused on helping his clients escape charges, and making bizarre business ideas.

Ralph almost always wears garish clothes and drives wildly coloured easily recognisable cars, usually with a purple / pink / yellow aesthetic. On occasions when he's sad he does tend to dress in all black.

## Backstory

Growing up Ralphs family were rich and thus he was often left with a nanny than with his parents. The seeming lack of respect from them has left Ralph real aim to prove himself to them to show them he can stand on his own two feet. His dad would often watch gangster films while Ralph was growing up and this left him with a desire to be a gangster so he could be the kind of person his dad liked.

One day he would decided it was time to show what he could do, and so he left home and travelled to Quiet City to try and become the number one gangster in the city

## Quiet City

### First day in the City

On arrival into Quiet City the first people Ralph would meet were then owners of the Cat Café - Cindy Clawford and Katy Purry. After leaving there he would find a job as a hotdog seller. Having originally seen that gangsters often would use business to launder money but not understanding how or why Ralph would attempt that as his first job.

With the job secured he grabbed a stand and walked to setup outside the Cat Café figuring that a fellow animal business should be interested in working together. However the owners of the cafe would get quite angry with Ralph for stealing their business, and then Danny D Donkey would also start attacking the stand.

Eventually the traffic police Arnold Clark would arrive and make Ralph move the stand to a parking space in the lot, however after Ralph valiantly tried to kick a wasp that was near the officers bike his stand would be shut down. The entire police force would turn up including Trick Dacy, Chuck LeChuck and Jimmy Tenpenny after claims there was a store robbery, then for claims Ralph was dealing drugs and eating "an entire litter of puppies". Ralphs Hot dog stand would stop working, and shortly after he would pass out due to a lack of eating.

For the remainder of the night he would end up getting stuck on train tracks and break 2 further hot dog stands. He would swear to one day get revenge on the Cat Café. He would also be knocked out by officer Trick Dacy who would knock him out by mistake. He would declare this the "worst day of his life"

### First Arrest

He would get arrested for the first time by Richard Deetmore. Deetmore found Ralph behind the wheel of a car that was wrongly saying it was being stolen. Unfortunately Ralph had actually opened the door to rescue a dog that was stuck in the car and then fell inside the car and iset off the alarm, so it looked like he was trying to find his keys. Deetmore would charge him for attempted robbery.

Ralph would run into Suzie Crumplebottom on his second day, and after she questioned him about her missing cat Mr Bigs. She claimed the Cat Café had said Ralph was responsible for the loss of her cat. Ralph attempted to shift blame onto the Cat Cafe, claiming they were doing testing on the cats, and milking them to make the boba tea. Suzie said her cat was male but did have 8 nipples and so could have been milked. Suzie would then start a job as receptionist at PD, and Ralph would end up making little jokes about it and Suzie responded by beating him up.

The next day he would wear a cat mask and return to PD and dance for Suzie. She would respond by beating up so badly that he ended up on the floor for 10 minutes. Just as the EMS turned up so would Brenda Ballantine

### Ralph and Brenda

While Ralph was passed out Brenda would arrive and begin recording what was happening. Captain Jimmy Tenpenny would come out of the station but instead answered a phone call rather than dealing with Ralph. When Brenda introduced herself as the leader of the Neighbourhood Watch and started asking for more information it immediately impressed Ralph that someone was dealing with the situation and he was enamoured by Brenda and her regular minion meme posting on. When the police asked for details on what had happened Ralph said that he had had bad experiences with the police but none with Brenda so he was going to just speak to her.

Brenda and Ralph would become something of a team

### Lawyer Training

After getting his record expunged then Ralph would decide it was good to try to get a legit job. Having dismissed the idea of joining the police because he was still worried about using weapons he decided to try and become a lawyer, training under Davey Trout

Ralph passed the bar on 1st December 2022.

## Current storylines

### Ralphabet

Alongside his lawyering training Ralph realised that he needed to come up with some other ideas to keep busy. He'd come up with the idea of doing some Speed Friending (which despite Judge Damian Starr's assumptions is nothing like dogging), and also doing some tours of the city showing major crimes from his past. All his business ideas come under the company name Ralphabet - we do everything from A-Z, except C (Crime).

### Relationship with Brooks

During a discussion with his lawyer Davey Trout where they were trying to bring down charges Ralph suggested he offer to take one of the officers Rose Brooks out bowling and give her a night out from the station as a treat. While this was not initially meant as a romantic offer when the bowling alleys reopened Ralph was feeling confident and asked Davey for advice, who offered to stay on the radio with Ralph throughout the entire date. This would result in a strange date which ended badly when Ralph said Brooks looked like a celebrity, and when she asked who Davey told Ralph "say anyone except Michael Jackson or Harrison Ford" and Ralph panicked and said Terry Wogan. Brooks would immediately punch him and run off. He did end up speaking to her and apologising and promising to make up for it.

A few days later Ralph would celebrate being expunged, and after would invite people to a party at Trihard Records. When he arrived he persuaded Chuck LeChuck to distract Brooks by telling her a Boba tea shipment had been robbed. While they were away he took everyone to Vinewood Bowl, and when Le Chuck arrived with Brooks he debuted a special surprise with a music video cover of Taylor Swifts Wildest Dreams dedicated to Brooks.

When the video finished he apologised for upsetting her and Suzie would run up and ask they would later have a hug.

After this Ralph would find himself a little confused, with feelings for Brooks having developed. During a meeting to set up his new business Ralphabet he would ask Judge Damian Starr if he had some contacts that could help him get some Taylor Swift concert tickets for him and Brooks. He would later be invited to be on a dating show "Lust Resort" by Levi Lewis, a dating show for people who were at their last resort, however he said no because he wasnt sure how things were going with Brooks. He did suggest that Levi ask Brooks to be on the show, and let Ralph know what she said.

The next day Ralph got a call from Levi and was told that Brooks was keen to go on the show. This threw Ralph a little, and he began dressing all in black. With no one around to call for advice he went for a last resort, calling the one person who he knew was always a straight talker - Suzie Crumplebottom. She told him to tell Brooks how he felt, and if she didnt feel the same way to "shit on her car".

Brooks and Ralph would end up having a talk about their relationship and Brooks pointed out they went out once, and Ralph said he thought she would have talked about it before agreeing to go on. Ralph told her that when they went bowling his intentions were to be just friends, but when he wrote the song he ended up feeling ways he didnt expect - and that he didnt expect her to feel the same way about him. Brooks would say she wasnt the type of person to be tied down and she enjoyed spending time with Ralph and that they'd never had a conversation about how things were going. She would say she wouldnt do the TV show if it made Ralph uncomfortable and if it was choice between going out with Ralph again or going on the show she would prefer to go out with him again. Ralph said that he would like her to do the show because he thinks it would be nice for people to see a side of her that most people dont get to see, shes not as cold as some people think.
