RipleyTheAxolotl

"Thoughts on pasta?"-RipleyTheAxolotl 2022

RipleyTheAxolotl is a humanoid, with the features of an axolotl, such as pink skin, and red gills on the sides of his head. He stands at 6'3", making him taller than average, 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, and he sometimes wears a redstone eye over his right one during combat. He is usually seen wearing a short olive coat. On the right shoulder, 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 on the straps. His footwear consists of riding boots with spurs on them. While Ripley is a well-known figure, no one has seen his entire face, being covered by his old brown tricorn hat, and/or with his grey scarf, the only one seeing his full face being his husband Ceannard Cogaidh V. Ripley can also be seen wearing various other outfits, such as suits and other coats. He is seen in Rathnir, manning his bar DaLounge with his friend HotDogDude42



Personality
RipleyTheAxolotl is mainly known for often cracking witty remarks or jokes with his dry sense of humor, often coming off as charming, though he can sometimes be jaded, due to the trauma of seeing so much death, a lot of which he caused. He can be described as humble, only boasting for comedic purposes, and prefers to cite his own accomplishments and capabilities instead of relying on relations with other famous people. This is likely the reason he usually prefers to just be called Ripley, rather than any last names or titles he possesses. Most of the time, he is calm, cool and collected, but has episodes of maniacal and homicidal tendencies when someone irritates him. His mood also swings between happy and care free, to eerily quiet and disconnected. On the D&D alignment system, he best fits chaotic neutral/good. He does not like having allegiances to any nations, merely motivated by what benefits him, and can be described as a free spirit in that regard, who mainly only ever gives attention to personal affairs, or things that affect him. While he does not give his allegiance to any nation or group, he is extremely loyal to his friends, very protective of his grandchildren, and dotes on his husband whenever he is around. He also seems to like pasta. Mainly fettucine.

Species
RipleyTheAxolotl is a part of a species called the Axolotians.

Experiments
The first 2 parts of a journal RipleyTheAxolotl stole from The Professor, the maker of the axolotian species, titled "Journey", and "Experiments" (Not published yet), document The Professor's journey on how he ended up making the Axolotians, with a majority of the information known about the Axolotians coming from it. The rest of the journal is used as a diary by RipleyTheAxolotl, documenting his many misadventures, and his early life on the run.

Skills and Abilities
Being an Axolotian, he has all the abilities that come with it. These include Incredible regeneration capabilities, which have allowed him to survive many injuries fatal to other beings. This power has been enhanced the more abuse Ripley has taken and the longer he has survived, now to the point that the only thing that might permanently kill him is getting completely incinerated to ash. Other abilities Ripley has include enhanced stamina, speed, strength, and heightened senses, etc. all enhanced to the level of being able to pull off many feats such as easily dodging speeding arrows, killing a man in iron armor with just his fists, being able to run for days without tiring, and being able to sense movement and sound through solid walls, or from half a mile away. Aside from his natural abilities, he is a good marksman with a bow, and skilled in the art of stealth, and assassination. He mainly prefers to hunt his enemies when they do not expect it, using intimidation and surprise tactics, and his various weapons effectively. In D&D terms, he is most likely a rogue/hunter. Though, he makes exceptions to these tactics if he judges individuals as honorable and worthy opponents, and will then fight them face to face in single combat. While he possesses much skill and technique in fighting, he is a scrappy fighter who is proficient with his fists, able to beat enemies to a pulp with experience gained in a fight pit. Aside from his fighting skills, he has proved to be an adept brewer when coming to Rathnir, founding DaLounge, his famous bar, which has risen to great success due to Ripley employing his charm to connect with the customers, and the use of his skill with marketing and advertising to interest people into coming.

Weaknesses
Ripley is weak to getting burned, and ingesting alcohol, like the rest of the axolotian species. While he does possess decent skill with weapons, Ripley has been bested in battle before. due to his method of attack being very offensive, opponents have been able to exploit how exposed he leaves himself, or like his friends HotDogDude42 and hitthepin, use a more defensive form and focus on counterattacking and outlasting him. HotDog blocking him with a shield, and hitthepin being able to deflect Ripley's blows with his katana.

Weapons
Over the course of his long life and many adventures, Ripley has acquired a large arsenal of powerful weapons. This is a list of them in the canon chronological order he has obtained them.

ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ʖ╎ℸ ̣ ᓵ⍑ ᓭꖎᔑ||ᒷ∷
"An emerald katana reserved for those that piss Ripley off, or those that he truly respects, gifted to him by the swordsman hitthepin." This would be the first weapon Ripley would obtain in his massive collection. After losing all that he loved when the horse thief attacked, Ripley would run as far away from home as he can get. After working as a miner under a boss who was involved with questionable business practices, and possibly nefarious connections, he murdered his boss in self defence and was on the run again. After an encounter with bounty hunters hired to kill him, likely hired by those nefarious connections, Ripley would get into a scuffle with them. Another warrior would then join the fray. Armed with a diamond naginata and katana, he helped Ripley dispatch the adversaries. Ripley would go on a few adventures with the mysterious swordsman who said he is from a land in the east. He told Ripley his name was hitthepin. During their time together, hitthepin would train Ripley in the ways of the sword, and instill in him a strong code of honor in battle, and in duels. Even though Ripley lost these values as he ran into situations where he had to prioritize survival over honor, he would always keep these teachings with him, and practice them whenever possible. Before they parted ways, hitthepin would gift Ripley a katana of unknown material, Ripley guessing it being a strange alloy-like combination of emerald and diamond, judging by how it can look either green or blue when seeing it from different angles. He would use it to defend himself on his travels, and to face worthy opponents in honorable duels.

Ripley's Longbow
"A great bow carved of dark oak, carried by Ripley on his many adventures." This is Ripley's most precious weapon. While it may not be as powerful or as expensive as many of his other weapons, he has been saved by it many times, and has slain many with it. There is much mystery regarding the origin of this weapon. From what Ripley has told, he carved it when he became a ranger in the far off land he lived his early life in. He has also said this was where he acquired his iconic olive coat. He said the forest the rangers inhabited was a massive one. With dark oak trees as large as small castles. Due to reasons he has not told, he had to move on, but implied that something horrible happened which forced him to leave. He has developed great speed and accuracy with the bow, and many have seen on several occasions his skill with it, pulling off shots that a lot of people are incapable of. Even pulling the string back is a tall task, with a draw weight of 150 pounds, it is an abnormally strong bow, able to whip arrows into people at record speeds, shattering bone and piercing flesh.

Green Death
"Villagers, a race long gone from Rathnir, forged a blade of their most precious gem, to be wielded by a hero that would vanquish evil." This was the first weapon Ripley obtained when first coming to Rathnir. As he explored the land, he swam deep into the ocean. After days of swimming down there, he came across a giant sunken city. It appeared to be villager architecture. It was a miracle he found it, as Villagers went extinct in Rathnir long ago. He saw that the people of this city worshipped Neo-Axolotians as gods of the ocean, judging by the many ruined statues of them he found. He would eventually come across a tomb. He would search it for loot. In a special section of the tomb, which Ripley assumed was reserved for royalty, Ripley opened a coffin, and pulled out a tarnished object. Curious to see what this was, he brought it back up to the surface. After restoring the object, he could see it was an emerald sword. Studying it, he found that those who have pure hearts can make the weapon glow brightly, unlocking it's full magical potential. While he is unworthy of the blade, the glow of it dimming when he holds it, it is a weapon he refuses to use in battle. Instead, Ripley guards this weapon until a worthy hero comes to claim it.

Song of The Tide and Dance of The Tide
After an adventure where Ripley and HotDog found the kingdom of the Neo Axolotians. The massive underground ocean was buried over thousands of years, and only revealed as fissures opened up deeper into the earth. They helped the Neo Axolotians in their war against the guardians, fearsome sea monsters that shoot lasers and bristle with spikes. As a reward, Ripley was gifted The Song of The Tide. A trident that had bonded itself to him, that he can call to his hand, and use to channel the power of ocean storms. He was also given the Dance of The Tide. A trident that allowed him to fly through water and rain, like waves over the ocean. These tridents are made of a special alloy of prismarine and netherite, promptly name prismerite.

Lightbane and Nightbane
Two very powerful swords, gifted to Ripley by his friend Noctis when he married Ceannard. Found under a temple that worshipped a god of light, Lightbane purifies all that it touches. The exact opposite to it's counterpart, Nightbane. No one knows where the sword came from, but it corrupts all that it touches. After testing how the blades interact with each other, Ripley has learned that they act as balancers for each other. A person cannot wield Lightbane for an extended period of time, without disintegrating from the sheer purity of the weapon, nor do the same for Nightbane, without giving in to it's corruption. But by wielding both swords, a user can achieve ultimate balance. In battle, and within themselves. Lightbane is a weapon that appears to be particularly effective against demons and other creatures of darkness, while corruptable beings such as humans, and those of similar origins, along with beings to an affinity with light, are susceptible to the corruption of Nightbane.

Wither's Will
"Forged from the spine of a wither Ripley killed, This bastard sword is a lethal weapon" On another adventure with HotDog, the pair would track down and prevent a band of Segra followers from releasing a wither and an undead army onto the world of Rathnir. After the journey, and thankfully killing the wither before it did any damage, Ripley would take it's spine, and forge a sword out of it. It is a beastly but versatile weapon, being able to cleave through opponents but still a well balanced and quick weapon.

Burgamerian Royal Rapier
"A beautiful, but simple and functional rapier, carried by members of the Burgamerian royal family" With Ceannard becoming the Eternal Khadir of Burgamere, this made everyone that is part of House Cogaidh royalty. As a symbol of nobility and status, each member carries one of these expertly crafted rapiers. It is an extremely nimble and maneuverable blade, often used for quick flurries of stabs. Ripley and other members of House Cogaidh can be seen with these swords at events involving the Burgamerian royalty.

Additional Combat Tools
Aside from his main weapons, Ripley has other tools that can help him in fights that he uses from time to time.

Redstone prosthetics
After losing his eye, arm, and leg when Segra attacked Tortuga, Ripley would receive redstone prosthetics welded by his husband Ceannard. While they did not work as well as his normal limbs, Ripley saw potential in them as tools. After he grew his limbs back with the help of Gaian magic, he would modify the prosthetics so he could simply wear them. The arm gives him extra protection on his arm, along with increased strength. The foot on the leg can shoot out for a powerful kick, or to leap with greater vertical height, or over a longer distance. The redstone eye allows Ripley to see openings in his opponent's defense, or see where they will strike next (Canon explanation for seeing hitboxes).

Enderpearl Harness
Underneath his clothes, Ripley sometimes wears a harness that employs enderpearl technology to summon weapons, with teleporters on his back, wrists, hips, and in his quiver, which can make it seem like he can pull an infinite amount of arrows from it. He also has a teleporter in his satchel which allows him to store a seemingly infinite amount of items in it (canon explanation for inventory). From the teleporter on his back, he can summon larger weapons such as his tridents, or Wither's Will. From the teleporters on his hips, he can summon his rapier or katana. From his wrists, he can summon Lightbane and Nightbane, or his longbow. However, there is a limit to this. The teleporters require a charge, and when overworked, can become unusable, indicated by the teleporter sparking or fizzling out.

Ripley's Journal
Ripley's Journal is a documentation of much of Ripley's life. When Ripley left The Professor's lab, he took The Professor's journal with him. This is why the beginning part of the journal will be about how The Professor made the Axolotians. The rest of it is a first person telling of Ripley's life and adventures. The journal will be released in different segments, each of which are prominent parts of Ripley's life that shaped him into he is today. It it not yet released to the public as of now.

The Horse Thief
Although Ripley's journal is not available to read, he has told stories which he had recorded in his journal. The first known story in the journal was of how Ripley lost his eye. In a far off land from Rathnir, Ripley lived peacefully, and worked at a horse stable. One day, a thief stole a prized stallion under Ripley's care, and got it killed. It was blown up by a creeper, an explosive creature that is abundant outside of Rathnir and Eldham. In his anger and desire for justice, Ripley takes up a sword and attempts to take his revenge on the horse thief. Even with his specie's abilities, Ripley was young, inexperienced, and far outmatched by the cutthroat bandit. In the ensuing battle, Ripley was defeated, and his Eye was slashed by a cursed flaming sword, burning it. The pain and burning of this wound had tormented Ripley for a long time, until he decided to gouge out the burned eye to allow a new one to grow back. The scar can still be seen over his left eye though. Then, to add insult to injury, Ripley staggered home to find his home and the rest of the town ransacked and burning, the rest of the horses and other people that lived there massacred. With nothing left their, Ripley scrounged up what money he could, and boarded a boat off the continent.

The Fight Pit
The details of this story are much more unknown. The time at which this took place is difficult to determine. All the information known is that Ripley was 6 years old at the time, making it a year or less until he would come to Rathnir from that point. Ripley has not disclosed much on this story. Only that he and his friends were captured by someone who Ripley had angered in the past. They were then forced to brawl in a fight pit, where people would watch and bet on them. In one such fight, Ripley had to face his best friend, a 16 year old human boy. Initially, Ripley did not want to fight him, but ultimately ended up breaking the boy's neck. Since it was too quick of a fight, they let 10 more people, most likely captured like him, into the fight pit. They had knives. Ripley snapped and went insane, not seeing the scared faces of his opponents as he beat them into the ground, not feeling the several knives they jammed into him, and not hearing their screams, only the pounding of his heart in his ears, and feeling the rush of blood pumping to his head and seeing red. He only felt the need to satisfy the animalistic desire to kill. He would stop caring about his life, and the lives of those around him. He became hollow, and in the pit, he killed without remorse, whether or not it was one of his friends, or someone else who was forced into the life of suffering like him. It is unknown how he escaped, but it is clear that this was the most mentally scarring event of his life. The tipping point where many of his mental problems and erratic behavior originated from.

Coming To Rathnir
RipleyTheAxolotl decided to come to Rathnir when his friend/mentor hitthepin contacted him for his skill at mining, to get diamonds for Vraelea. Ripley decided this would be a good decision, since he was once again on the run. So immigrating to Rathnir, he meets an old fisher name HotDogDude42, and gets equipped with quality tools and gear, and sets off to find diamonds for Vraelea.

Working as a Miner
Ripley's first occupation was a miner, that supplied Vraelea with a large amount of diamonds. Mainly uneventful. But an interesting story when first coming to Rathnir, is how he acquired an emerald trident, named the Green Death.

Sandburg
In his early days on Rathnir, Ripley would come across a town called Sandburg when traveling in his spare time. It was a humble little town in the middle of the desert. Ripley would continue to come back, and make friends, such as Dominik of Sandburg, Clokemaster123, BMKERR, and Valeania. By this time, Ripley and the other three had come to Rathnir recently, all before their rises to fame and power. When Ripley first came to Sandburg, Lilyprism would pull a "prank" on the citizens, goading them into war, and then massacring them. Ripley would then donate some of his money he got from mining for Vraelea. Afterward, his visits to the town would decrease, and it would fall on times of turmoil once again, in which today, it is now a ghost town.

Creating DaLounge
DaLounge is a renowned bar in Rathnir located under an outhouse at 4870/64/520. It was a lush cave found by Ripley on a mining trip. Thinking it would be a great place to put a bar, an idea that hitthepin, and HotDogDude42 had been talking about to Ripley for a while at the time. So they began construction of a fancy looking bar with the the highest quality drinks for everyone to enjoy. But after a while, the natural plant life of the cave began to creep back in.

Managing DaLounge
With hitthepin, and HotDogDude42 busy, It was mostly up to Ripley to man DaLounge, since he owned the land. At first, he knew nothing about brewing, mainly there to make sure there was no trouble at the bar. But one day, he was taught the basics by a mysterious cloaked stranger. He would then go on to hone his skill at the craft, and now holds himself responsible for making the high quality drinks sold at the bar with the DaLounge team, consisting of hitthepin, who invested money into the bar to initially get it off the ground, and HotDogDude42, who is the official manager of DaLounge. There is also DenoraDoodles, CrashSyndicate, Laughedcoast817 who were additionally employed by Ripley and Hotdog to help out with brewing. Dommic would later be hired to sell cheese at DaLounge as well. During his time off from working the bar, he mines and hunts phantoms.

Meeting The Gaians
After Ripley and his bar would become well established figures in Rathnir, He would come across a town called Iabet inhabited by an environmentalist tribe called The Gaians. He loved the lushness of the town, and it's large trees, reminding him of a place from his past, though, his memory of it is somewhat blurred for some reason. He would make friends with the matron of the Gaians, the Assoti Adashi Cornaro, who would teach him about the Gaian culture, and how to use the koruma, which was an Assoti weapon,. Ripley would become very popular with the people from Iabet, and made some friends. Those being Behetee, Aule the Faded, Noctis, Rasana, and others. Aule and Noctis would die in a tragic event (But would be ressurected), the only thing Ripley knowing about it is that it had something to do with a curse. Eventually, even the Gaian Tribe would be disbanded, and the Assoti faced the dangerous prospect of extinction, with the death of Adashi. but those that were devoted to the cause would continue on in the from of the Bleeding Hearts league, and a new Assoti queen named Skarn Melithera Talatra would fill the role Adashi left behind.

Getting Married
Ripley first met his husband Ceannard in Athazolant, where they became acquainted with each other. They grew closer from the time they spent together. Ripley was by his side when he got married to four people, helped him through his alcoholism and when he got the plague. When Ceannard confessed his love for Ripley one night at DaLounge, Ripley made him promise that he would get his act toether. With Ripley's help and support, he did so. They got engaged during the merging of the Frosterium, and married months later, where Ripley would take the last name Cogaidh. (He did so because he previously had no family nor last name)

Exile
One day, Ripley decided to visit a town called Leolia. When he went there, he got bored after a while, and began pretending to set things on fire in the town. The leader of the town, Tpiddles, then stabbed Ripley, and killed his horse. This triggers Ripley, who then traveled back to the town, and after staking him out, Ripley brutally beat and stabbed Tpiddles. Right after this, Ripley gets banished. It is largely unknown what Ripley has done during this time, but he has told a select few a little bit about his experience in exile. He describes how he was suddenly teleported to a jungle island, where many monsters resided, such as zombies, skeletons, and creepers. During his time in exile, Ripley hunkered down in a treehouse, and would fight the sinister creatures off every night, wearing him down greatly. Then, when his exile was over, he immediately was teleported back to his bar, looking very much disheveled.

The Defense of Tortuga
when the war goddess Segra attacked Tortuga, Ripley took up arms with many others against her forces. When he arrived in Tortuga, the island was in total chaos. An army of wither skeletons in full netherite armor, a pack of giant zombies, and other monsters clashed with the defenders in the water, and on the docks. The carnage was unbelievable. Rioley leapt into the fray, slaying many of the undead, and even downed a giant with his longbow. He fought hard, throwing himself on the enemies until his armor cracked off of his body. Then, after a long, hard battle, with many losses, Ripley was ambushed by A follower of Segra named Jepen. He and other Segra worshippers were silently picking off people during the battle. After most of the fighting was over, Ripley was slumped over. Battered, bloodied, and exhausted. He staggered around the docks, looking at the carnage, which was when he came across Jepen. He was too exhausted and injured to defend himself when Jepen attacked him. Using a weapon called the GodSlayer, Jepen would cut off Ripley’s left arm and right leg, and due to the powerful fire magic the sword had, Ripley would likely not regenerate back from the injuries. He would be one of the many that would fall by Jepen's blade that day. He would eventually be recovered from the battle field, and his husband, who has had experience with welding, fashioned him prosthetic limbs powered by redstone.

The Defense of Ecclesia
As Kartek tried to invade all of Sparwood, The Confederation of Sparwood founded by Ecclesia, and a few other nations would oppose them. Although he was not a citizen of any of the nations part of the confederation, he would join the fight. One battle, Ripley had lost an arm and a leg the day before from Segra’s attack on tortuga, and half of their forces could not show up. They were heavily outnumbered by the enemy. Despite the odds that they faced, the soldiers stood tall. Before the battle, Ripley made a campfire in Voskovy, for the other soldiers to come and relax, in order to put them at ease before the fighting began. Then, when the site of the battle would move, he traveled there with his friend mezur. As they traveled, the friends talked about how they were doing, and how Ripley's marriage was going so far, catching up with each other's lives as this was the first time, they saw each other in a while. When they got to the bunker, Ripley would rally the troops with inspirational speeches, and crack light hearted jokes about the most important reason for being there was to protect his bar. He would be on the wall when the fighting began, being seen sniping enemies from the high vantage point. Then, when the Kartek forces breached the walls, the order to fall back would come. But Ripley and a few others stayed behind at the wall, delaying the enemy as the main force would retreat to a more defendable position. He would be brought down by several men, being chased down and brutally stabbed beyond the point of fighting. Fortunately, he would end up recovering from the battle, and rejoining the fight against Kartek.

Motivations
Ripley does not have any affiliations nationalities to countries. When questioned as to why he would fight for the Confederation, he said,

"I do not fight for Ecclesia, or any nation at all. I fight for myself. You see, if Kartek gets what it wants, thats bad for business. Right now, things are good as they are, and my bar is doing great. So, by supporting the Confederation and making sure Kartek never takes over all of Sparwood, the status quo is maintained, and my interests are protected."-RipleyTheAxolotl 2022

Ripley' bar (and the rest of Sparwood) would be protected, as The Confederation would continue to resist Kartek. After years of death and bloodshed, peace would be negotiated, and Kartek's conquest to massacre Sparwood would be stopped.

New Limbs
As new threats such as Segra, and mythical monsters invading Rathnir, Ripley decided that he would have to be more agile and dextrous. More than what Ceannard's prosthetics would provide him with. With this goal, he rode to Iabet, where his friend behetee performed a surgery on him. The process consisted of his spine being infused with assoti cells. While this would not change him in appearance, it would make him susceptible to the flowering, in which an assoti would experience significant neurological changes, and their muscles and skeletal structure would be replaced with plant life. This was an extremely risky operation where if anything did go wrong, Ripley would have been permanently changed from his old self, and not for the better. Fortunately, everything went according to plan, and Ripley would grow new limbs consisting of lush plant life and spore blossoms. Overtime, the plant life decayed and the wood of the arm and leg decayed and began thinning to a skeletal shape. At this point, his flesh grew back over the substitute bone and his limbs were restored.

Joining the Alastir Family
Ripley's husband Ceannard would join the Alastir family, meaning by extension, Ripley would also become a member of the Alastir family, being related to the likes of Acerina Alastair, Hizenisgod, Misfor Alastair, and others. In the Alastir family, he is mainly known as El Abuelo Ajolote (Grandpa Axolotl). Ripley finds his age to be a rather strange topic. Although he has been in peak physical condition his whole life, the axolotian body not deteriorating as a human body does, and yet fills the role of a senior member of the family. By extension, Ripley is also part of the Marshal family by being Chi's grandfather.

Losing his Weapons
One day, something strange was happening at Arundel. Ripley gathered his gear and took to go investigate. When he got there, there were already a few people there. Suddenly, dozens of fiery birds appeared. One of them threw Ripley up into the air. As he struggled, and tried to free himself from the bird’s grasp, he got in a good stab, killing it. But by doing so, there was nothing left to stop him from falling. He hit the ground hard. The impact broke every single bone in his body and knocked him unconscious. After ten days and nights, he woke back up. His bones healed, but he still felt extremely sore. As he gathered his bearings, he noted that all of his armor and weapons were gone. This was a devastating loss for Ripley, losing the katana gifted to him by hitthepin, along with his precious longbow. He does not know if his weapons were stolen or destroyed, but he hopes to find them again one day. Fortunately, he was able to locate his bow shortly after, but took a few more years to track down the katana.

The Abyssal Isles incident
Strange occurrences and encounters with strange monsters and beasts are not uncommon in Rathnir. One of these was a beast crawling out of the pit at The Abyssal Isles, aptly being named the Pit Beast. When this new threat to Rathnir arose, Ripley and many other players responded to cries for help from the residents of the isles. After a long and hard battle, Ripley and everyone else that participated in the defense of The Abyssal Isles received a reward of 10 gold blocks. LegoTool, the one who delivered the final blow to the Pit Beast received an artifact, though Ripley did not see what it was.

Burgamere Royalty
After the coup in the IAU, the nations attached to it would also collapse. Out of it, the "Confederacion Nacional de Burgamere" would rise, and Ceannard has been appointed the eternal khadir of the nation, making him royalty, and by extension, Ripley as well. This has made the Royal House of Cogaidh truly established, with Acerina Alastair, and Sherman Cogaidh as the princess and prince of the family, and mezur and Chicken being royal cousins.

Watt and Blightboy's Wedding
Newly being anointed as royalty, Ripley would hear about a wedding at a town called New Pill. As he had nothing to do that night, Ripley would travel there to have some fun, and take a break from brewing. To his good fortune, his Grandaughter Acerina Alastair would also be there. She was with there with her boyfriend, Quaza_Illay, who Acerina would formally introduce to Ripley, as he and Quaza only met one time when Ripley visited his bar one time. Unfortunately, they did not get much time to talk more, the wedding being crashed by several bandits, who began harassing the partygoers. This would result in Ripley being stabbed through the chest. Being very disappointed with this turn of events and with new gaping hole in his chest, Ripley would go home and sleep it off.

Acerina and Quaza's Wedding
While Ripley received an invite to his granddaughter's wedding, he could not attend, as he was too busy brewing for DaLounge. When he was done though, he made his way to where the wedding was in hopes of catching a little bit of the party. But when he got there, everyone was gone. Contacting Quaza, who was now married to Acerina. he was told they moved to a city called Nahrayn. Ripley rode to Nahrayn, but saw Acerina wasn't there. When he aquired about this, Quaza told him that a jealous suitor and his friends raided the wedding, and attempted to kidnap Acerina. Fortunately, they attendees of the wedding launched a rescue party and saved her, but she would be badly shaken up from the experience, and go home. Ripley now searches for the people who ruined his granddaughter's wedding, to take their heads.
