Rudolph Jefferson (Renegade Universe)

**Rudolph Christopher Jefferson** (born December 25, 2000), commonly known as **Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer**, is an American actor, singer, pianist and composer who is a version of the legendary Christmas figure Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer edited to be an anthropomorphic, shirtless and muscular version. A member of Rocket Raccoon's anthropomorphic animal team the Animals since 2021, he primarily plays piano for the rock band Rocket Raccoon & The Animals. During the Christmas season, he relocates the team with the sole permission of Rocket to an exact copy of their base with added heating, fireplaces and Christmas decorations, located next door to his place of work, Santa's Workshop New Princeton, in a colder and snowier village in the northern part of the state during the winter time called Cartersville.

Rudolph was born on a frigid Christmas Day night in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, and was raised on the North End as a four legged reindeer with a red nose that he uses as a flashlight. He is currently attending New Princeton University in the Education District of Downtown Matthew City, pursuing a master's degree in media and entertainment. He is in a relationship with Zoey Jackson and talks with her over FaceTime occasionally while she occasionally flies to the Animals' base to visit him. He works with Santa Claus at Santa's Workshop New Princeton during the Christmas season, and is a normal citizen after Christmas. As a teenager he woke up one morning to find out that his body completely changed to that of an anthropomorphic animal, with his hooves becoming fingers. He threw off his blanket and decided to go to the clothing store to find a good pair of pants and some sneakers. He bought a pair of blue jeans, some brown boots and a black belt with a yellow buckle, opting for a casual shirtless look. He mostly wears jeans, boots and a belt and buckle in the signature clothing colors of the team - dark blue for the pants and red and blue for either the shoes or the buckle on their belt. He prefers his pant legs untucked so the legs of his boots are covered up.

Rudolph is 6' 4", making him the second-tallest member of the team behind Rocket, but just ahead of Falco and Fox. He is a big fan of root beer and he says that he's basically "drunk on it" as he downs two giant bottles of A&W, his favorite brand of root beer, every day with his lunch and dinner. He is usually heard belching very loudly, burping out red bubbles while acting dazed. He once accidentally squeezed an opened bottle of root beer he had in his hand into the face of his brother Dan after he started laughing hard when Dan told a funny joke in the base's bar, splashing the two and the walls of the bar in root beer. They ended up getting their bodies all covered and sticky, so Rudolph let Dan shower on the third floor while he decided to swim in the underwater basement to wash the stickiness off his body and pants. He still had sticky spots on his body, so he went outside with Rocket to get him to spray him off with the hose. Rudolph then cleaned up the mess with Rocket afterwards.

As he is a big fan of sports, Rudolph watches Hard Knocks on Matthew TV (the HBO and NFL Films show's home in the Matthewian Republic) and Max, and a lot of MLB Network and NFL Network. He is a fan of the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox. He is also just as athletic as Yoshi, as he swims, runs and jumps at similar speeds as him.

Rudolph is another person who leaves the shirt out of his wardrobe as a way to show his muscular body, joining Ratchet, Tom, Rocket, Fox and Falco in following Nick Wilde's shirtless male animal trend for those who wear pants. He is also known for wearing a necklace sporting his first and last initials in red and green. He doesn't wear it in his secondary everyday outfit, but wears the jeans and brown shoes he had as a teen, when he discovered his reformed anthropomorphic body.
