He is a cheerful, curious young man from an impoverished family. Despite growing up in the middle of a blood feud that has killed family and friends, and despite never knowing his father (who ran away before he was born), Ralphy always seems to see the bright side of things. Ralphy's father is a Brother of the Mushroom Cloud and is standing on the side of the road at one of the Canyon of Titan checkpoints. With a smart ass check you can keep him from blowing himself up because he shamed his family by running away.
