Ralph, The Railgun Rancher

Ralph Hendrixson (AKA Ralph, The Railgun Rancher) was a genius all throughout school. He took a keen interest in agricultural science and was a promising track star.

## Backstory

A third generation Itraizar he was born with the ability to shoot projectiles from his fingertips. His father helped him hone his abilities on the family ranch in hopes he could be a soldier for the Emperor. Considered one of the most outstanding members in his family Ralph wanted to improve on his father's dreams and joined his local high school track team where he won the Empire Invitational 3 years in a row. It was not his athletic performance that got him accepted into University but his tenacity in the classroom that earned him a full ride to ██████, Texas. After graduating top of his class in Agriculture Science he returned to the family ranch and increased cattle and crop production by 300%. After his success it became clear to Ralph that he found his true calling and left his father's dreams of him becoming a personal protector of the Emperor behind.

With his newly earned funding Ralph decided to explore a new crop that Itraizar had not been able to grow under normal circumstances, pineapple. Ralph hired on a ranch hand that obtained the ability to control climates changing the ranch into one of the most advanced farms in the empire. After a successful season of pineapples Ralph hit the lottery with sweet potatoes when he was able to offload his entire harvest in a single day. After selling his last bit of sweet potatoes Ralph and his ranch hand decided to celebrate at their favorite tavern, The Tavern of the Beasts owned and operated by the world renowned Dionys the Brew Master. Unfortunately the good times did not follow Ralph to the tavern as he was attacked in the middle of his celebration by his uncle Stewart. Uncle Stewart used his powers of emotional control to send Ralph into a full rage trying to force him to let loose his true power. After a light punch Ralph had enough, he stood up and aimed his fingers toward his uncle preparing to riddle him with holes. In an attempt to avoid blood shed in his tavern Dionys sent his wolf in front of Ralph but is too late as the railgun fingers fire anyways. Dionys's cave bear slaps Ralph across the room as it recognizes the danger and the inability to break the rage. The cave bear was able to stop Ralph from harming anyone but Ralph was severely injured with giant claw marks raked down his neck and arm. The shock of pain luckily broke Ralph free from Uncle Stewart's emotional control and he alerts Dionys that the rage was caused by Stewart's power. The tavern patrons leapt forward and dragged Stewart out of the tavern to handle business. Dionys offers Ralph free drinks for a month on behalf of the injuries he sustained and Ralph gladly accepts. After a day full of the ups and downs of life Ralph returned home to sleep and recovered his wounds while tending to the farm.
