MYO-452: RIPPER
RIPPER
Cunning · Mischievous · Tenacious · Chaotic
Ripper is a bun with a fiery edge, infamous since babyhood for his habit of tearing and biting anything he could get his claws on. His caretakers despaired until one demon, wilder than the rest, took Ripper under his wing, fostering his love for ripping and destruction. This unconventional upbringing shaped him into a feared figure among his littermates, a bun with a chaotic streak and an appetite for destruction. Yet, as he grew, Ripper found a new path—a surprising one: he opened a cafe. While he serves coffee and muffins with a rambunctious charm, the cafe is just a front for his real work as a well-connected informant, selling secrets to anyone who can afford his steep price. Those who can’t pay or try to cross him often find themselves at the mercy of his intimidating associate, Asmodeus, who ensures debts are paid.
At home, Ripper lives with his roommate Horizon, a calm, gentle giant who complements his chaotic energy. Ripper loves to test Horizon’s patience with pranks and messes, but the ever-zen Horizon takes it all in stride, often cleaning up without complaint. Ripper appreciates his roommate's tolerance and even lets him live rent-free in exchange for putting up with his antics. When he's not managing his cafe or gathering information, he takes pride in crafting the perfect cup of coffee, often boasting about his skills and his network to Horizon and Asmodeus alike.

Personality
Design Notes
Ripper’s design is a mix of wild and striking features. His orca-like fur markings are a key characteristic, giving him an edgy look that reflects his mischievous nature. His ears are short, never extending past his elbows, and his hands end in claws, while his feet are hooved, adding a rugged edge. His skin fades into fur along his satyr legs, creating a smooth gradient transition. His eyes are always partially hidden, though occasionally one peeks through, adding a hint of mystery. He also has a forked tongue, and his eye color matches the vivid shade of his mouth’s interior.
Trivia
- Even as a café owner, Ripper has an old habit of ripping paper when he’s idle or thinking; sometimes, he even uses it as stress relief between coffee orders.
- Ripper has a personal coffee code he uses with customers to signal his underground informant services—only those in the know will recognize it when he drops hints.
- When deep in thought or planning something, Ripper absentmindedly bites at his knuckles or claws—a throwback to his biting habit as a baby bun.
- Ripper has a near-obsessive need to collect gossip and secrets, even if it’s trivial. He’s constantly jotting down notes or keeping mental tabs on everything he hears, storing details for possible future leverage.
Relationships
Ripper and Asmodeus share a bond as partners in Ripper’s hidden operations, though their friendship is rooted in more than just business. Ripper relies on Asmodeus not only as a skilled “problem solver” for his informant dealings but also as a trusted confidant who can handle his chaotic energy. Asmodeus’s calm ruthlessness balances Ripper’s rowdy nature, making them an effective team. Ripper respects Asmodeus’s straightforward approach and values their shared sense of loyalty, often bragging to Horizon about their seamless teamwork. Their relationship is as close as it is unspoken—a solid friendship built on mutual trust and an understanding of each other's dark sides.
Ripper and Horizon make an unlikely but surprisingly balanced duo as roommates. Ripper’s chaotic and mischievous nature finds endless amusement in testing Horizon’s patience, whether through pranks, leaving messes, or stirring up harmless trouble. Despite Ripper’s antics, Horizon’s calm, gentle giant demeanor never wavers, which secretly impresses Ripper. In fact, he respects Horizon’s easygoing resilience and often lets him stay rent-free as a show of appreciation for putting up with his messes. Horizon’s laid-back attitude even seems to mellow Ripper out at times, making their friendship a steady, if unexpected, source of stability for them both.
Ripper and Alistar share a dynamic that’s equal parts rivalry and camaraderie, their relationship laced with competition and mutual respect. As rival informants, they’re often racing to outmaneuver each other, each eager to snag the juiciest piece of intel first. Despite the rivalry, they’re reliable trade partners, with Ripper frequently purchasing specialized ingredients from Alistar for his “cafe”—and his underground dealings. Their exchanges are filled with playful jabs, with Ripper testing Alistar’s patience while Alistar tries to outsmart him in negotiations. It’s a friendship that thrives on wit, subtle competition, and an unspoken agreement to keep things civil... most of the time.
