He was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana on Halloween in 1972 at exactly midnight. He had a charmed boyhood, his days filled with school and books. He was always learning. He had a passion for history and the occult. He always knew there was something different about himself. When he was 12 he had a frightening dream where his grandparents and uncle died a grisly death in a car accident. The next day he found out that it came true. Ralph was in shock. He thought he had something that was rare, so he tried to focus on harnessing his mental prowess. When he turned 18 he went to college to get degrees in psychology and parapsychology. It was in college that he met a wonderful young lady by the name of Loretta. Loretta was interested in the same things and had a flair for Egyptology. Her interest in it piqued Ralph’s. He had no idea it could be so fascinating. While he has in college he was working at a local museum as night security. It was pretty quiet so he worked on his studies done whenever he had a chance to sit down. While working there, he pored over anything Egyptian. His work and studies paid off and he eventually learned the secrets of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. </p><p></p><p>Ralph eventually came back to the occult. He can’t remember what set it off, but he had a feeling that he would need the knowledge of it further down the path of life. After he and Loretta graduated, they married. As a young couple they enjoyed their days and nights together, but it wasn’t meant to last. They worked on having a child and eventually they were blessed. Complications arose with the pregnancy and Loretta and her child died on the operating table. Ralph dove himself into his work, a lunatic searching for the meaning to the answer that was ever elusive. After three months of work he slipped deep into depression.</p><p></p><p>It was at this time that he used his other talents for working as a detective. He moved to Lafayette and got himself a small apartment. He used his unique ability for detective work, and it partially alleviated his pain. His superiors took notice and moved him up the chain of command, which meant relocation to Morgan City. It was in Morgan City where he was put on an unusual case. He was investigating murders that took place Houma, Chalmette and New Orleans. He got a tip one night and he and his partner went to investigate. They split up at a warehouse trying to corner a suspect when he tripped over a loose crate that was filled with musty tomes written in a weird dialect. He heard a noise that sounded distinctly inhuman coming from another room and investigated. He didn’t get a good look but something was feasting on his partner’s corpse. Ralph has horrified. He quit his job without notice. </p><p></p><p>He moved to New Orleans about four months ago and had settled in. Then it happened again. He foresaw a nature at its worst. New Orleans ripped to shreds, many lives taken and the destructive power of water. So he hightailed it to New York City. Better safe than sorry he thought. He was glad he did move as footage of Katrina came to his TV. Now in New York, he has a license as a private investigator and has setup a private mystic shop which he uses as HQ for his businesses. </p><p></p><p>Ralph’s first case as a PI put him in with some mafia figures that needed information on the workings of a local business that had setup shop within the downtown area. He did his work without question. When the job was done he asked for contact information. With the info he got himself some protection (A gun and armor) at street price. His connection had paid off. He does business with just about any client without attitude and tries not to exploit anyone with his gift. </p><p></p><p>He offers the use of his mystic ability to anyone willing to foot the charge for it, and he is always up front about that. He is notorious for ending his workday as early as his responsibility for a case will allow. When not working he is poring over tomes and scrolls always searching for hidden answers that have always been just a little out of humanity’s reach. He loves his talent and is not ashamed about it, but does not talk about it.</p><p></p><p><strong>Personality:</strong></p><p>Ralph is an introverted individual, always thinking. He is not so much a people person, but give him a book, and he will open up to you about his love for knowledge. He does keep to himself and doesn’t ask anything out of life but the right to exist. He has morals and despite his Christian upbringing he does delve into topics that normal religious people wouldn’t touch with a ten foot stick. He seeks not the company of a woman, as he has spurned love due to the loss he has suffered. He doesn’t open up about his past but loves to yammer on about his obsession with the paranormal, Egyptian hieroglyphics and forbidden lore.</p></blockquote><p></p>
