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

Before Rathnir
RipleyTheAxolotl's early years are largely unknown, due to the nature of his species, and are most likely not interesting. But the most prominent story Of Ripley before coming to Rathnir is of how he lost his eye. In a far off land from Rathnir, Ripley lived peacefully, and raised a great herd of horses. One day, a thief stole Ripley's prized stallion and got it killed, by an explosive creature known as a creeper. In anger and want for retaliation, Ripley takes up a sword and attempts to take his revenge on the horse thief. Even with his specie's abilities, Ripley was far outmatched by the cutthroat bandit. In the ensuing battle, Ripley was defeated, and his Eye was slashed by a cursed flaming sword. 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.

Coming to Rathnir
RipleyTheAxolotl decided to come to Rathnir when his friend/father figure hitthepin contacted him for his skill at mining, to get diamonds for Vraelea. Ripley decided it would be a good decision to come to this place, what with him on the run for beating yet another man to death. 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.

Early days in Rathnir
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 aquired an emerald sword, named the Green Death. He found this blade in the depths of the ocean, where the ruins of a villager kingdom lay. Swimming through the ruins, he came across the tomb of the villager king, and finds the Green Death. He then restores the blade, and he charges himself as the caretaker of the blade until a worthy hero comes to claim it.

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 received a recipe book from a benefactor, whos name is undisclosed for privacy reasons. Then he began to teach himself, and now holds himself responsible for brewing the great drinks sold at DaLounge.

Ripley and Ceannard
Ripley first met Ceannard in Athazolant, where they became aquaintences. 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 told him that they would have to get him to stop drinking, get him comepletely better from the plague, and he would have to divorce his four spouses. They got engaged during the merging of the Frosterium, and eventually married.
