Information About AU Hero's Duty Space Marine Ralph

In this AU, there are two Wreck-It Ralphs, the original and this one, who's always been a space marine in Hero's Duty. Hero's Duty is made either by Tobikomi or an offshoot of theirs and they decided to design a Space Marine based off of their Wreck-It Ralph character to celebrate the upcoming 30th anniversary of Fix-It Felix Jr. Since the game is so hectic and new, not many gamers have yet made the connection between the two Ralphs, especially since the armor makes him look so different than his 8-bit version. (Inspired by this comment on TVTropes.)

Since not much information about Hero's Duty is shown in the movie, I'm using things from the official game to supplement and give things a little extra flavor.

His ID number, 306768, is the code that the game gives you to unlock Ralph as a teammate.

In the movie, the gun Ralph carries into the Hero's Duty game closely resembles Weapon 4 from the online game. Until it has an official name, I'm calling it the Explosive Launcher. In the game, it does the most damage, however it takes 10 ammo per shot. Accuracy isn't needed as much with the Explosive Launcher, since the explosion has a small range in which it hits nearby Cy-Bugs. There's a small delay in firing time, which makes it slow but powerful, just like Ralph. (Of note, it's mentioned in this article that the Hero's Duty weapons are powered by plasma.)

In the movie, it appears to work like most of the other weapons, but for this RP, I'm using the version from the game to give things a little more personality.

Like the original Ralph, this Ralph has got something of a temper. However, he directs his anger towards the Cy-Bugs, especially if he witnesses them attacking or killing one of the other Space Marines. Sometimes this is to his detriment, he'll be so focused on getting revenge against a particular Cy-Bug that he won't notice the others coming after him.

Another thing he has in common with the first Ralph is his protective streak. It most often shows up when he sees the other Space Marines in trouble. This will also extend to civilians and the other residents of Game Central Station, it's his job to keep people safe and he takes that very seriously.

He has a higher health bar than most of the other Space Marines, which lets him take more damage. In return, he's not nearly as fast or agile as the rest of the Space Marines.

Ralph will not attack anyone unless they are directly harming him or someone else. However, if someone definitely appears to be bug-like, it's quite possible that he will attempt to destroy them.

He isn't afraid of bugs like some of the other Space Marines, instead he just despises them and will go out of his way to smash or otherwise kill them (perhaps leaving a small crater or disaster in his wake).

Like the Fix-It Felix Jr. Ralph, he originally had a forest home. However, his home is still intact. He joined the Space Marines to make sure that his peaceful planet stayed safe. He misses his home, but doesn't talk about it much. As long as he knows that nothing's happened to it, he's fine for the most part.

He's the exact same height and build as Ralph, though the armor may make him slightly taller when he's wearing it. As such, he still has most of Ralph's sheer destructive strength. Generally, he only uses it when he runs out of ammo, choosing to punch the Cy-Bugs instead of using the weak standard-issue pistol.

Like Ralph, he enjoys fruit and isn't very fond of chocolate.

Along with most of the other Space Marines, he's prone to spacing out in shock and wandering around Game Central Station aimlessly, especially after a particularly bad game day. Often he'll snap out of it on his own, but sometimes he needs a little help. He also has violent nightmares about him and the other Space Marines being horrifically killed by Cy-Bugs and the Cy-Bugs destroying his home planet.

While he has many similarities to Ralph, there's quite a few differences. He's much more serious and mature, especially because of the constant fighting in the game that he's been subjected to.

Appearance-wise, he's identical to the original Ralph, however his skin tone may be a bit more ashen and his eyes not as bright. He might even have a couple of grey hairs tucked in among the brown ones. Because of everything he's been through during the course of the game, he rarely, if ever, smiles. Underneath the armor, he wears a standard-issue black jumpsuit. Unlike some of the other Space Marines who wear green socks under their armor, Ralph goes barefoot.

His voice is about the same as the first Ralph's, however it's often more on the rough and weary side. Some days he doesn't have much of a voice if he's been yelling out warnings or advice to the other Space Marines.

Since this Ralph is an original member of Hero's Duty, the armor he wears was made for him and fits well. All of the Space Marines customize their armor, and Ralph is no exception. On his right shoulder is a heart with the word "MAMA" over it, because he loves his mama.
