Contact Info: MewtwoWarrior on AIM, MewtwoWarrior on Plurk
Other Characters: None
Name: Wreck-It Ralph
From: Disney's movie Wreck-It Ralph
Appearance:
Ralph is 9 feet tall and weighs 643 pounds. His most distinctive feature is his massive hands. He wears a red plaid shirt with worn sleeves and a green shirt underneath it. He also wears dark red overalls that have a broken strap, worn out knees, and a gentle layer of honest dirt. The art director describes him as a mountain man, and he looks the part. The director of the movie says that they always called Ralph "a brutish lout" and he was designed to look like one.
Age: 30 years old
Gender: Male
Personality: Because of his job and the way his game works, Ralph's got two personalities. There's his Bad Guy working personality and his everyday normal personality. However, his Bad Guy personality is influenced by and in turn influences his normal personality.
As a Bad Guy in Fix-It Felix Jr., Ralph is a raging giant bent on tearing apart the Niceland apartment building with his bare hands. Before his home got destroyed, he was peaceful and content to stay in the forest and mind his own business.
During gameplay, he breaks bricks, smashes windows, and even picks a guy up and throws him across the screen. He uses his giant fists to break bricks off a ledge to fall onto the player character Felix's head.
His rampage only stops when the game is completed and he's cornered on the roof, where the Nicelanders proceed to throw him off and onto the ground far below.
His Bad Guy persona can be easily described in one word: angry. However, because of the circumstances of his anger, he can still be viewed as sympathetic. He only acts this way because his home was taken over. Neither Ralph nor the Nicelanders are in the right, Ralph reacts in a harmful and destructive way, and the Nicelanders shouldn't have built the apartment where someone lived.
While Ralph's normal movements outside his game are natural and smooth, but on occasion, if he gets incredibly angry or frustrated, he'll unconsciously lapse into jerky 8-bit style movements.
About his anger and personality in the game, Ralph tells the members of Bad-Anon that he's, "got a little bit of a temper on me. You know, my passions bubble very near the surface, not gonna lie."
Outside of gameplay, Ralph is quite different. He still has anger issues, he has problems controlling his temper. He can hold it back for a little while, but if the issue keeps being pressed or if the situation angers him enough, he'll snap.
His anger is just as destructive as it is inside the game, however, it seems that as soon as he destroys something, he calms down greatly. At the party, when Ralph was arguing with Gene, he ended up smashing the cake in his fury. As soon as he did, he calmed down and realized what he had done. He was still irritated, but he wasn't angry. When Vanellope and Ralph argued about the medal, Ralph nearly harms Vanellope with his giant hands, but stops and instead smashes some rock candy and pounds a thought-to-be-unbreakable jawbreaker until it cracks neatly in half.
Ralph never seriously harms a sentient character outside of his game, his rage is restricted to things, never people. When he argues about the cake with the Nicelanders, he smashes it instead of the people that are annoying him, he doesn't hurt Vanellope when she makes him angry, and he even doesn't harm the villain during the climax, when it really would have made things easier for him. When Ralph is attacked by the villain, he never fights back, choosing to focus on breaking the Mentos loose. There is once where he uses his hands to shove the villain away, but Ralph doesn't use enough force to send him flying very far, just enough to get him out of the middle of the volcano top and the villain doesn't even seem phased by it.
He does treat Sour Bill roughly in order to get information from him. Since Sour Bill is essentially a living piece of candy, Ralph licks him and puts him in his mouth for a brief duration. He does this in order to get Sour Bill to tell him King Candy's plans and he does it in something of a teasing matter. It's unknown what he would have done to Sour Bill if he didn't give Ralph the information that he wanted to know, but it's likely he knew that Sour Bill would give in.
He does attack non-sentient characters, but only the Cy-Bugs. In Hero's Duty, he shoots at them, but his aim is terrible and he never lands a shot. In Sugar Rush, he punches the invading Cy-Bugs with enough force that they shatter. The one time Ralph hurts a sentient character on purpose is when Vanellope leaves to get something and King Candy shows up. Ralph is hostile towards him, and when King Candy tries to keep himself from getting hurt by wearing a pair of glasses, Ralph simply takes those glasses and bops him upside the head. The glass in them shatter, but King Candy doesn't seem to really be harmed by it, it appears to be more of a warning than anything. Ralph also picks King Candy up and it appears that he may injure him, but he's aware enough to listen when the King speaks and he puts him down.
While Ralph can be violent, he doesn't really like displays of violence. He's put off by zombie's half-dead appearance and when cyborg pulls zombie's heart out, even though zombie isn't harmed by the display at all. And he bemoans that Hero's Duty is violent and scary, he's used to simpler games that don't involve anything other than wrecking and fixing things.
Any other time that Ralph's actions lead to someone being hurt, they are accidents and unintentional consequences, such as when the escape pod bumps into Sonic the Hedgehog. When he was chasing Vanellope down and making a mess of the viewing boxes on the racetrack, he doesn't even seem to realize there are sentient characters in them, he was single-mindedly focused on hunting Vanellope down.
Even though Ralph doesn't hurt others on purpose, his large size often leads to accidents. At the party, the low-hanging ceiling was far too short for him and when he bumped it, some of it came off and hit Felix, causing his dramatic death and return shortly afterwards. Ralph is just about as shocked as the Nicelanders watching when this happens. Thankfully, Felix seems to understand and isn't upset at all, choosing instead to reassure everyone that he's okay, rather than expressing anger at Ralph.
Ralph doesn't always seem to know his own strength and size, which contributes to many of the accidents he causes.
The director says that "we never have him do things that you would consider to be not nice". This isn't 100% true, as Ralph does several things that aren't nice, however they are explained and justified, and in most cases, he makes things right in the end. Ralph wrecks several things and at times, talks harshly and sarcastically to others. In these cases, the people in question either pushed him to the point of anger, or they withheld information from him, such as Vanellope not telling Ralph she didn't know how to drive.
Even when he's calmer, Ralph still sometimes has a sharp tongue. He often gives colorful, creative, and descriptive nicknames to people who did something to anger or irritate him.
Ralph doesn't completely consist of nearly uncontrollable rage, he's got a soft and gentle side to him that really shines when he's not being judged and is given a chance to be himself.
When he takes cherries from Pac-Man, he gives one to the homeless Q*Bert and friends. By the point he ran into them, he had already eaten nearly half of one, which wasn't a lot for him because of the giant pit in the middle. Even though he could have easily kept the cherry for himself, and living in the dump, he doesn't get good, fresh food often, he gave it away to someone in need.
Even though he's motivated by his own desire to get his medal back, he helps Vanellope build her kart and ends up enjoying it. He also teaches her how to drive and cheers her on. By close to the end of the movie, he puts aside glory for himself and begs Felix to fix Vanellope's kart so she can race and be reset to no longer being a glitch.
While at first, Vanellope brings out the worst in Ralph, in the end, she also brings out his very best. Because she's his friend, because she doesn't judge him, because she's the first to care about him, Ralph is willing to sacrifice his life in order to save hers and her game.
Ralph is fairly polite at times. He never directly asks Felix to invite him in, instead choosing to word things in such a way so that Felix would be more likely to do so. When he ruins the party and leaves, ranting about obtaining a medal, he still manages to thank them for the party. He never even tells Felix how bad off his situation is, until Felix is in a similar place towards the end of the movie.
Generally, Ralph is fairly honest. He's not the best at lying because he doesn't always think out his lies to the fullest extent. He told Vanellope he was from the candy tree department, but he clearly didn't have as much knowledge as someone from the game would. He prefers things to be straightforward and upfront.
He can be stubborn and wrongheaded at times, but Ralph is very smart. He's able to figure things out on the spur of the moment, like realizing the volcano can be used as a beacon. He also managed to come to the correct conclusion that Vanellope was supposed to be in Sugar Rush when he saw her picture on the arcade console.
At the beginning of the movie, Ralph is depressed, lonely, and bored. He's shunned by the Nicelanders and many of the smaller characters around Game Central Station. He is friendly with the Bad Guys at Bad-Anon, the bartender of Tapper, and throughout the movie, he builds a bond with Q*Bert that started with one act of kindness. He lives in a dump and only gets to eat what the Nicelanders throw out and whatever he can get from other games.
He originally enjoyed his job, however as time passed and he continued being treated horribly, eventually he hits a breaking point where he no longer wants to be a Bad Guy and wants to obtain glory so that he can finally have friends and a decent place to live.
Because of his treatment at the hands of the Nicelanders, Ralph is strongly against bullying, especially if bullies push someone in the mud. He doesn't want himself to be thought of as a bully, if he does something that could be considered bullying, he'll try to set it right with the other person.
Ralph is rather childlike in his mindset, he thinks one shiny medal will instantly fix all his problems. His fits of destructive anger are reminiscent of a kid throwing a temper tantrum. His appearance builds on the childlike aspects, especially the gap his has in his teeth. In the end, though, he matures. He learns to think about others more than himself. He already did so a little, as seen with his generous act towards Q*Bert, but he takes action that puts himself as risk, in order to save someone else. He finally learns what it's like to have a friend and to be a friend in return.
Backstory: Wreck-It Ralph's sort of got two different backstories, he has a backstory within Fix-It Felix Jr., and while that affects his life, his life outside of gameplay is a completely different story.
Fix-It Felix Jr., the arcade game, was plugged in at Litwak's Family Fun Center back in 1982 and that's when everything began.
Within Fix-It Felix Jr., the story goes that Ralph lived in the forest and slept in a large stump. One night, as he was sleeping, bulldozers came in, moved his stump into the dump, and built an apartment building where Ralph used to live.
When Ralph woke up in the dump, he was furious and decided to wreck the apartment building in his anger.
As he smashes windows and knocks off bricks, Fix-It Felix uses his magic hammer to repair the windows. Ralph tries to stop him by knocking off bricks from ledges. Their chase goes to the top of the building, where the Nicelanders corner Ralph and throw him off the roof and onto a large mud puddle on the ground below.
The game is always the same, the only changes the game ever experiences is whether or not Ralph is successful in stopping Felix, instead of being thrown off the roof.
Not much is known about Ralph's game backstory beyond that. While in Hero's Duty, he makes the comment that he loves his mama, so it's likely that he had some sort of good relationship with her, unless it was just his excitement talking.
Throughout the years, life is the same for Ralph. He works while the arcade is open and after hours, he lives in the dump with his stump. He doesn't seem to do much traveling between games and many of the smaller characters avoid his presence. When he does travel, the Surge Protector always stops him for questioning. The Bad-Anon group invites him to their weekly meetings, but he never goes. Ralph seems to spend a lot of time in the game Tapper, as he's gotten good advice from the bartender several times before and Felix at one point makes the comment that Ralph's fallen asleep in Tapper's bathroom previously (and was possibly late getting back to the game because of it).
Ralph's life doesn't get interesting until the day of Fix-It Felix Jr.'s 30th anniversary in 2012. (It's unknown what time of year it takes place, but it's possibly during the summer.) There happens to be a Bad-Anon meeting going on that day, every Thursday they have a meeting, and Ralph decides to go for the first time.
He introduces himself to the group and tells them about his game. There's a little bit of discussion and Ralph finally confesses that after 30 years of living in the dump alone, he doesn't want to be a Bad Guy any more. The other members of Bad-Anon react strongly to this, questioning Ralph and attempting to give him advice. Finally, the meeting is adjourned and the Bad Guys say the Bad Guy affirmation. However, Ralph doesn't say it with the others, he's not happy with the answers that he got from the Bad Guys.
Ralph doesn't consider himself to have many friends, but the other Bad Guys are friendly towards him.
He heads back towards his game, he's stopped by the Surge Protector as he leaves Pac-Man and as he enters Fix-It Felix Jr.. Before he goes back home, though, he gives a giant cherry he took from Pac-Man to the homeless characters from Q*Bert.
When he gets back to his game, he discovers that there's a party going on to celebrate the 30th anniversary and he wasn't invited. Ralph's frustrated, but only gets upset when he realizes that characters not from Fix-It Felix Jr. were invited.
He makes his way up to the penthouse and the Nicelanders want Felix to send him away. Felix and Ralph talk, Ralph, knowing how Felix is, chooses his words carefully and sort of guilts Felix into letting him in.
The Nicelanders are displeased at Ralph's appearance and Ralph accidentally killing Felix when he bumped the lower part of the ceiling doesn't help his case.
The cake is brought out and when it's revealed that everyone's favorite flavors are their apartments, Ralph finds out that "his" section of the cake is chocolate, which he doesn't really like.
Frustrated, Ralph argues with Gene, the Nicelander he throws out of the building every game, over the characters on the cake. Their discussion is heated until finally Ralph loses his temper and smashes the cake in a fit of rage.
During the fight, Gene says that if Ralph gets a medal, then he can live in the penthouse. Ralph takes this as a personal challenge and goes to Tapper to see if the bartender knows where he can get a medal.
The bartender doesn't know where Ralph can get a medal, but he says Ralph can check out the Lost and Found.
While Ralph searches the lost and found, an armored Space Marine bumps into him and proceeds to walk into the wall repeatedly. Ralph was irritated at first and then becomes concerned. He speaks to the Space Marine and learns about his game.
The Space Marine is from a game called Hero's Duty. The object of the game is to climb a tower, kill some bugs, and get a medal. Ralph has to climb the apartment building every day, so he thinks this sounds like a breeze. The Space Marine tells him he can't go, but then passes out when he runs into a wall after he sees a cockroach.
With the Space Marine unconscious, Ralph takes his armor and squeezes into it. It manages to fit him. Barely. He leaves Tapper and heads for Hero's Duty. Ralph's rather pleased when the Surge Protector doesn't question him for once.
On the way there, he accidentally trips over Q*Bert. Ralph apologizes and tells him who he really is, then awkwardly makes his way into Hero's Duty.
Ralph's clumsy and excited, but quickly learns that things aren't as easy as he thought they'd be when he's rushed into battle.
His aim is terrible, the Cy-Bugs are terrifying, and one of them eats his gun and transforms into having guns for arms, leaving him weaponless. Finally, he uses the first-person robot as a sheild, begging the Cy-Bug flying after him to take the player instead.
The Cy-Bug viciously attacks the robot and this causes the player to get a Game Over, and the player leaves in disgust. This causes the game to reset and Calhoun to berate Ralph for his behavior. During reset, all the remaining Cy-Bugs are killed by the beacon on top of the tower, because they can't tell when the game is over, all they're programmed for is destruction.
Ralph decides that he's going to get the medal one way or another, but he's not going to deal with the Cy-Bugs again. He ditches the armor and starts climbing the tower.
It seems to take him all day, he only reaches the top when the arcade closes. Finally, he gets to the 99th floor and takes the medal and all the fanfare that goes along with it.
While he's enjoying his unearned adulation, Ralph accidentally stumbles into a Cy-Bug egg, causing it to hatch and the baby bug to attach to his face. In his panic, Ralph accidentally activates an escape pod and it goes rocketing out, into Game Central Station, and finally crash lands in Sugar Rush.
The eject feature is set off and Ralph and the now-larger Cy-Bug go flying. The Cy-Bug is knocked unconscious and sinks into a pool of taffy.
Ralph, on the other hand, finds himself in a tree and medal-less. He spots the medal at the top of a tall tree and makes his way over to it.
As he's climbing the tree, a little girl named Vanellope interrupts him. They argue briefly, until Vanellope mistakes the medal for a coin she can use to enter a race.
They both scramble for the medal, Vanellope's experience wins out and she ends up with the medal, while Ralph ends up in a puddle of taffy.
She runs off to get her kart and pay her entry fee, while Ralph makes his messy way out of the puddle and searches for Vanellope.
Ralph finally finds Vanellope at the racetrack, everyone's gathered for the race and it's almost ready to start. Ralph chases after Vanellope, causing a mess as he knocks things over trying to get to her.
Eventually, a giant cupcake falls on Ralph and traps him. He's brought to the castle, where the ruler of Sugar Rush, King Candy, tells Ralph that the medal is gone and will only return when someone's won the race and gets all the coins entered in, so he's not going to be able to get the medal back. He tells Ralph to go back to his own game and leaves the donut police to free Ralph from the cupcake.
Ralph runs away, busting out of the castle and breaking the cupcake in the process. He hides from the police and makes his way through the kingdom to talk to the racers to try and get the winner to agree to give him his medal back.
As he follows the cars, he finds they were heading to Vanellope and her kart. The other racers bully Vanellope, telling her she can't race because she's a glitch. They destroy her home-made kart and push her into a chocolate mud puddle.
Ralph can't stand this and chases them off. He argues with Vanellope again, and in his frustration, starts smashing things. When he cracks open an unbreakable jawbreaker, Vanellope gets an idea and strikes up a deal with him.
They sneak into the factory where the karts are made, by Ralph breaking open a heavily-secured door.
The two work together at a series of frenetic mini-games in order to put the kart together. There's a lot of mistakes made and the end result is a haphazard mess.
Even though Ralph thinks the kart was a disaster, Vanellope loves it and she gets frosting so they both can write their names on it.
Ralph can't help but smile as he finally done something right for once, even though when Vanellope points this out he denies it.
Their fun is ended when King Candy and his police force show up. Vanellope confesses she can't drive a real car, so Ralph powers the car with his massive arms.
They manage to escape the police by driving into the secret entrance of Vanellope's home.
Vanellope and Ralph argue about her ability to drive and Ralph's medal. When he tells her that the medal was his ticket to a better life, she says that it's also her way to a good life. She shows off her home, talking about living alone in garbage, just like Ralph. She also shows him that the molten diet soda pool erupts when Mentos from the stalactites fall off.
Ralph decides to help Vanellope learn how to drive, even though he has no clue about how to do it himself. He makes her a track and after quite a few mishaps, Vanellope finally gets it down.
They head off to the race, but before they go too far, Vanellope stops and goes back to get something she forgot.
While Ralph is alone, King Candy shows up. Ralph is hostile to the King at first, but when King Candy gives him his medal (which he had retrieved by messing with the game's code), he agrees to listen.
King Candy tells Ralph that because Vanellope is a glitch, if she races and makes it into the game, her glitchiness could result in the game getting unplugged. And because of her status as a glitch, she wouldn't be able to leave the game and she'd die with it.
The King leaves and Vanellope returns. Ralph tries to speak to her, but she has a present for him. She made him a medal, just in case they aren't able to get it back.
Ralph tries to tell Vanellope that if she races, she might end up dying and when she discovers the medal and that Ralph's been talking to King Candy, she won't listen.
He then does the only thing he can do and wrecks the cart with his fists. Vanellope is heartbroken and tells Ralph that he's a bad guy.
Ralph sadly heads back to Fix-It Felix Jr., only to discover that the only person left is Gene. He tells Ralph that the game is out of order and scheduled to be unplugged and that Felix had gone to find Ralph, but hadn't returned, so everyone had packed up and moved out.
He gives Ralph the key to the penthouse and leaves him completely alone. Ralph, having messed up his game and his friendship with Vanellope, goes out onto the balcony. In his frustration, he throws the medal and it ends up hitting the screen and knocking the sign loose.
Ralph's able to see the Sugar Rush console and discovers that Vanellope's picture is on it. He hurries back to Sugar Rush and finds the King's assistant, Sour Bill, cleaning up what's left of Vanellope's kart.
Ralph interrogates Sour Bill roughly and finds out that King Candy had tried to delete Vanellope, making her a glitch. He doesn't know why this was done, just that everyone's memories got locked up at the same time and that everything will be reset if Vanellope crosses the finish line. He also says that Vanellope and Felix are locked away in the castle's dungeon.
There's about an hour left until the arcade opens for the day, and Ralph takes the kart remains and frees Felix first. Felix is happy to see Ralph, but at the same time, he's frustrated with him. They talk things over and Ralph asks Felix to fix Vanellope's kart and he does so.
Ralph then takes the fixed kart and breaks Vanellope free. He admits that he messed up and Vanellope forgives him.
The three of them head to the race, it's already started. Ralph and Felix hop off of the kart and watch the race on the jumbotron screen.
As they watch the race, Calhoun shows up. She punches Ralph and tells him that the Cy-Bug that came with him had multiplied. As soon as she says this, the Cy-Bugs come out of hiding and start the attack. As everyone leaves, the Cy-Bugs go after the Finish Line and Ralph slams Cy-Bugs to the ground and punches them to try and hold them off. Because the Cy-Bugs had eaten the sweets as they grew, they weren't as tough as the ones from Hero's Duty and Ralph's able to punch them into sugar dust.
Meanwhile, the race is still going on, when Vanellope catches up to King Candy, the two of them fight and her glitches reveal that he's actually Turbo, a racer from an old game that tried to take over another game. Turbo's game and the other game had both ended up unplugged and everyone had thought Turbo was dead. Because of the jumbotron, Ralph and Felix are able to see the whole encounter.
The Cy-Bugs destroy everything they come in contact with, one even eats King Candy.
Vanellope gets close to the finish line, but because of the Cy-Bugs, she can't finish and Ralph and the others take her to the exit.
Everyone's left except for Ralph, Felix, Vanellope, and Calhoun. Vanellope can't leave because of her glitches and Ralph tries his hardest to get her out anyway.
Calhoun says the game is doomed without a beacon like they've got in Hero's Duty. Ralph realizes that Vanellope's home in the volcano can be turned into a beacon. He takes Calhoun's hoverboard and gets on top of the mountain.
He uses his fists to knock the Mentos loose. Just as he's nearly done, he's suddenly attacked by something.
The Cy-Bug that had eaten King Candy turned into him, creating a gigantic monstrous hybrid of Turbo, King Candy, and Cy-Bug.
Ralph continues to try and break the Mentos, while the King Candy Cy-Bug attacks him.
Back at the exit, it's too late, the Cy-Bugs are closing in on Vanellope. The King Candy Cy-Bug is amused by this and attempts to force Ralph to watch as his friend dies. However, Ralph gets an idea and breaks free of his grip, falling towards the volcano in a sacrifice to save his friend and her game.
As he falls, he holds the medal she gave him and says the Bad-Anon oath to himself. He impacts the Mentos with his fist and falls through the volcano.
Before the diet soda erupts, Vanellope zooms by on a car another racer had left, makes the jump, and saves Ralph from dying.
They end up in a puddle of chocolate as the mountain erupts, causing a glowing stream of soda to fly through the air.
All the Cy-Bugs, including the one that's part King Candy and Turbo fly to the light and are vaporized by the molten liquid.
Once everything is calm, Ralph, Felix, Vanellope, and Calhoun head to the finish line. All the citizens re-enter the game and Felix fixes the finish line up.
Ralph pushes Vanellope in her kart across and she transforms into a princess and the land is restored, along with everyone's memories.
Once things are sorted out, Ralph and Vanellope say goodbye for now. Ralph and Felix get back to their game and Fix-It Felix Jr. isn't unplugged. The Nicelanders appreciate Ralph more and treat him kindly.
At some point, Ralph and Felix got Q*Bert and friends and other homeless characters to come and live in their game. Everyone gets houses, including Ralph.
At another point in time, Ralph is the best man at Felix's and Calhoun's wedding.
He goes back to Bad-Anon and tells them everything that happened and how he's happier now and realizes what they said was right all along.
The credits show Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun having adventures in many of the games in the arcade.
Ralph is taken from some point after the movie is over.
Moral Standing: The simple answer is that Ralph is a good person. The complicated answer is that within the world of the arcade and video games, Ralph is a Bad Guy by profession. It's his job to wreck the Niceland Apartment building so that the players can fix it with Felix. But even then, he's only a villain within the game because his home was destroyed to build the apartments and he reacted very strongly. Though, as Zangief says, Ralph is a good person while being a Bad Guy, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
Dreams: Ralph's content with the way things are right now. As long as Fix-It Felix Jr. is still working and giving him a job, he's happy. He wants both Sugar Rush and Hero's Duty to stay plugged in at the arcade. He also wants Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun to all be happy. He's got friends now, that's all he really wanted.
Fears: Dying outside of Fix-It Felix Jr. and getting a permanent Game Over. Fix-It Felix Jr. being unplugged and him becoming gameless. Sugar Rush and Hero's Duty getting unplugged and putting Vanellope and Calhoun out of their homes. Vanellope, Felix, and/or Calhoun dying outside of their games.
Extra: Ralph is very strong, he can easily smash things thought to be unbreakable very quickly. His movement speed is fairly slow, though he can pick up the pace in an emergency. While his legs may be slow, his arms are capable of rapid-fire poundings that turn things into rubble in a matter of seconds. Ralph has terrible breath, as noted by Vanellope, King Candy, and possibly Sour Bill. This is likely due to the fact that he lives in a dump. Ralph's stats from the official website.

Name: Wreck-It Ralph
From: Disney's movie Wreck-It Ralph
Appearance:
Ralph is 9 feet tall and weighs 643 pounds. His most distinctive feature is his massive hands. He wears a red plaid shirt with worn sleeves and a green shirt underneath it. He also wears dark red overalls that have a broken strap, worn out knees, and a gentle layer of honest dirt. The art director describes him as a mountain man, and he looks the part. The director of the movie says that they always called Ralph "a brutish lout" and he was designed to look like one.
Age: 30 years old
Gender: Male
Personality: Because of his job and the way his game works, Ralph's got two personalities. There's his Bad Guy working personality and his everyday normal personality. However, his Bad Guy personality is influenced by and in turn influences his normal personality.
As a Bad Guy in Fix-It Felix Jr., Ralph is a raging giant bent on tearing apart the Niceland apartment building with his bare hands. Before his home got destroyed, he was peaceful and content to stay in the forest and mind his own business.
During gameplay, he breaks bricks, smashes windows, and even picks a guy up and throws him across the screen. He uses his giant fists to break bricks off a ledge to fall onto the player character Felix's head.
His rampage only stops when the game is completed and he's cornered on the roof, where the Nicelanders proceed to throw him off and onto the ground far below.
His Bad Guy persona can be easily described in one word: angry. However, because of the circumstances of his anger, he can still be viewed as sympathetic. He only acts this way because his home was taken over. Neither Ralph nor the Nicelanders are in the right, Ralph reacts in a harmful and destructive way, and the Nicelanders shouldn't have built the apartment where someone lived.
While Ralph's normal movements outside his game are natural and smooth, but on occasion, if he gets incredibly angry or frustrated, he'll unconsciously lapse into jerky 8-bit style movements.
About his anger and personality in the game, Ralph tells the members of Bad-Anon that he's, "got a little bit of a temper on me. You know, my passions bubble very near the surface, not gonna lie."
Outside of gameplay, Ralph is quite different. He still has anger issues, he has problems controlling his temper. He can hold it back for a little while, but if the issue keeps being pressed or if the situation angers him enough, he'll snap.
His anger is just as destructive as it is inside the game, however, it seems that as soon as he destroys something, he calms down greatly. At the party, when Ralph was arguing with Gene, he ended up smashing the cake in his fury. As soon as he did, he calmed down and realized what he had done. He was still irritated, but he wasn't angry. When Vanellope and Ralph argued about the medal, Ralph nearly harms Vanellope with his giant hands, but stops and instead smashes some rock candy and pounds a thought-to-be-unbreakable jawbreaker until it cracks neatly in half.
Ralph never seriously harms a sentient character outside of his game, his rage is restricted to things, never people. When he argues about the cake with the Nicelanders, he smashes it instead of the people that are annoying him, he doesn't hurt Vanellope when she makes him angry, and he even doesn't harm the villain during the climax, when it really would have made things easier for him. When Ralph is attacked by the villain, he never fights back, choosing to focus on breaking the Mentos loose. There is once where he uses his hands to shove the villain away, but Ralph doesn't use enough force to send him flying very far, just enough to get him out of the middle of the volcano top and the villain doesn't even seem phased by it.
He does treat Sour Bill roughly in order to get information from him. Since Sour Bill is essentially a living piece of candy, Ralph licks him and puts him in his mouth for a brief duration. He does this in order to get Sour Bill to tell him King Candy's plans and he does it in something of a teasing matter. It's unknown what he would have done to Sour Bill if he didn't give Ralph the information that he wanted to know, but it's likely he knew that Sour Bill would give in.
He does attack non-sentient characters, but only the Cy-Bugs. In Hero's Duty, he shoots at them, but his aim is terrible and he never lands a shot. In Sugar Rush, he punches the invading Cy-Bugs with enough force that they shatter. The one time Ralph hurts a sentient character on purpose is when Vanellope leaves to get something and King Candy shows up. Ralph is hostile towards him, and when King Candy tries to keep himself from getting hurt by wearing a pair of glasses, Ralph simply takes those glasses and bops him upside the head. The glass in them shatter, but King Candy doesn't seem to really be harmed by it, it appears to be more of a warning than anything. Ralph also picks King Candy up and it appears that he may injure him, but he's aware enough to listen when the King speaks and he puts him down.
While Ralph can be violent, he doesn't really like displays of violence. He's put off by zombie's half-dead appearance and when cyborg pulls zombie's heart out, even though zombie isn't harmed by the display at all. And he bemoans that Hero's Duty is violent and scary, he's used to simpler games that don't involve anything other than wrecking and fixing things.
Any other time that Ralph's actions lead to someone being hurt, they are accidents and unintentional consequences, such as when the escape pod bumps into Sonic the Hedgehog. When he was chasing Vanellope down and making a mess of the viewing boxes on the racetrack, he doesn't even seem to realize there are sentient characters in them, he was single-mindedly focused on hunting Vanellope down.
Even though Ralph doesn't hurt others on purpose, his large size often leads to accidents. At the party, the low-hanging ceiling was far too short for him and when he bumped it, some of it came off and hit Felix, causing his dramatic death and return shortly afterwards. Ralph is just about as shocked as the Nicelanders watching when this happens. Thankfully, Felix seems to understand and isn't upset at all, choosing instead to reassure everyone that he's okay, rather than expressing anger at Ralph.
Ralph doesn't always seem to know his own strength and size, which contributes to many of the accidents he causes.
The director says that "we never have him do things that you would consider to be not nice". This isn't 100% true, as Ralph does several things that aren't nice, however they are explained and justified, and in most cases, he makes things right in the end. Ralph wrecks several things and at times, talks harshly and sarcastically to others. In these cases, the people in question either pushed him to the point of anger, or they withheld information from him, such as Vanellope not telling Ralph she didn't know how to drive.
Even when he's calmer, Ralph still sometimes has a sharp tongue. He often gives colorful, creative, and descriptive nicknames to people who did something to anger or irritate him.
Ralph doesn't completely consist of nearly uncontrollable rage, he's got a soft and gentle side to him that really shines when he's not being judged and is given a chance to be himself.
When he takes cherries from Pac-Man, he gives one to the homeless Q*Bert and friends. By the point he ran into them, he had already eaten nearly half of one, which wasn't a lot for him because of the giant pit in the middle. Even though he could have easily kept the cherry for himself, and living in the dump, he doesn't get good, fresh food often, he gave it away to someone in need.
Even though he's motivated by his own desire to get his medal back, he helps Vanellope build her kart and ends up enjoying it. He also teaches her how to drive and cheers her on. By close to the end of the movie, he puts aside glory for himself and begs Felix to fix Vanellope's kart so she can race and be reset to no longer being a glitch.
While at first, Vanellope brings out the worst in Ralph, in the end, she also brings out his very best. Because she's his friend, because she doesn't judge him, because she's the first to care about him, Ralph is willing to sacrifice his life in order to save hers and her game.
Ralph is fairly polite at times. He never directly asks Felix to invite him in, instead choosing to word things in such a way so that Felix would be more likely to do so. When he ruins the party and leaves, ranting about obtaining a medal, he still manages to thank them for the party. He never even tells Felix how bad off his situation is, until Felix is in a similar place towards the end of the movie.
Generally, Ralph is fairly honest. He's not the best at lying because he doesn't always think out his lies to the fullest extent. He told Vanellope he was from the candy tree department, but he clearly didn't have as much knowledge as someone from the game would. He prefers things to be straightforward and upfront.
He can be stubborn and wrongheaded at times, but Ralph is very smart. He's able to figure things out on the spur of the moment, like realizing the volcano can be used as a beacon. He also managed to come to the correct conclusion that Vanellope was supposed to be in Sugar Rush when he saw her picture on the arcade console.
At the beginning of the movie, Ralph is depressed, lonely, and bored. He's shunned by the Nicelanders and many of the smaller characters around Game Central Station. He is friendly with the Bad Guys at Bad-Anon, the bartender of Tapper, and throughout the movie, he builds a bond with Q*Bert that started with one act of kindness. He lives in a dump and only gets to eat what the Nicelanders throw out and whatever he can get from other games.
He originally enjoyed his job, however as time passed and he continued being treated horribly, eventually he hits a breaking point where he no longer wants to be a Bad Guy and wants to obtain glory so that he can finally have friends and a decent place to live.
Because of his treatment at the hands of the Nicelanders, Ralph is strongly against bullying, especially if bullies push someone in the mud. He doesn't want himself to be thought of as a bully, if he does something that could be considered bullying, he'll try to set it right with the other person.
Ralph is rather childlike in his mindset, he thinks one shiny medal will instantly fix all his problems. His fits of destructive anger are reminiscent of a kid throwing a temper tantrum. His appearance builds on the childlike aspects, especially the gap his has in his teeth. In the end, though, he matures. He learns to think about others more than himself. He already did so a little, as seen with his generous act towards Q*Bert, but he takes action that puts himself as risk, in order to save someone else. He finally learns what it's like to have a friend and to be a friend in return.
Backstory: Wreck-It Ralph's sort of got two different backstories, he has a backstory within Fix-It Felix Jr., and while that affects his life, his life outside of gameplay is a completely different story.
Fix-It Felix Jr., the arcade game, was plugged in at Litwak's Family Fun Center back in 1982 and that's when everything began.
Within Fix-It Felix Jr., the story goes that Ralph lived in the forest and slept in a large stump. One night, as he was sleeping, bulldozers came in, moved his stump into the dump, and built an apartment building where Ralph used to live.
When Ralph woke up in the dump, he was furious and decided to wreck the apartment building in his anger.
As he smashes windows and knocks off bricks, Fix-It Felix uses his magic hammer to repair the windows. Ralph tries to stop him by knocking off bricks from ledges. Their chase goes to the top of the building, where the Nicelanders corner Ralph and throw him off the roof and onto a large mud puddle on the ground below.
The game is always the same, the only changes the game ever experiences is whether or not Ralph is successful in stopping Felix, instead of being thrown off the roof.
Not much is known about Ralph's game backstory beyond that. While in Hero's Duty, he makes the comment that he loves his mama, so it's likely that he had some sort of good relationship with her, unless it was just his excitement talking.
Throughout the years, life is the same for Ralph. He works while the arcade is open and after hours, he lives in the dump with his stump. He doesn't seem to do much traveling between games and many of the smaller characters avoid his presence. When he does travel, the Surge Protector always stops him for questioning. The Bad-Anon group invites him to their weekly meetings, but he never goes. Ralph seems to spend a lot of time in the game Tapper, as he's gotten good advice from the bartender several times before and Felix at one point makes the comment that Ralph's fallen asleep in Tapper's bathroom previously (and was possibly late getting back to the game because of it).
Ralph's life doesn't get interesting until the day of Fix-It Felix Jr.'s 30th anniversary in 2012. (It's unknown what time of year it takes place, but it's possibly during the summer.) There happens to be a Bad-Anon meeting going on that day, every Thursday they have a meeting, and Ralph decides to go for the first time.
He introduces himself to the group and tells them about his game. There's a little bit of discussion and Ralph finally confesses that after 30 years of living in the dump alone, he doesn't want to be a Bad Guy any more. The other members of Bad-Anon react strongly to this, questioning Ralph and attempting to give him advice. Finally, the meeting is adjourned and the Bad Guys say the Bad Guy affirmation. However, Ralph doesn't say it with the others, he's not happy with the answers that he got from the Bad Guys.
Ralph doesn't consider himself to have many friends, but the other Bad Guys are friendly towards him.
He heads back towards his game, he's stopped by the Surge Protector as he leaves Pac-Man and as he enters Fix-It Felix Jr.. Before he goes back home, though, he gives a giant cherry he took from Pac-Man to the homeless characters from Q*Bert.
When he gets back to his game, he discovers that there's a party going on to celebrate the 30th anniversary and he wasn't invited. Ralph's frustrated, but only gets upset when he realizes that characters not from Fix-It Felix Jr. were invited.
He makes his way up to the penthouse and the Nicelanders want Felix to send him away. Felix and Ralph talk, Ralph, knowing how Felix is, chooses his words carefully and sort of guilts Felix into letting him in.
The Nicelanders are displeased at Ralph's appearance and Ralph accidentally killing Felix when he bumped the lower part of the ceiling doesn't help his case.
The cake is brought out and when it's revealed that everyone's favorite flavors are their apartments, Ralph finds out that "his" section of the cake is chocolate, which he doesn't really like.
Frustrated, Ralph argues with Gene, the Nicelander he throws out of the building every game, over the characters on the cake. Their discussion is heated until finally Ralph loses his temper and smashes the cake in a fit of rage.
During the fight, Gene says that if Ralph gets a medal, then he can live in the penthouse. Ralph takes this as a personal challenge and goes to Tapper to see if the bartender knows where he can get a medal.
The bartender doesn't know where Ralph can get a medal, but he says Ralph can check out the Lost and Found.
While Ralph searches the lost and found, an armored Space Marine bumps into him and proceeds to walk into the wall repeatedly. Ralph was irritated at first and then becomes concerned. He speaks to the Space Marine and learns about his game.
The Space Marine is from a game called Hero's Duty. The object of the game is to climb a tower, kill some bugs, and get a medal. Ralph has to climb the apartment building every day, so he thinks this sounds like a breeze. The Space Marine tells him he can't go, but then passes out when he runs into a wall after he sees a cockroach.
With the Space Marine unconscious, Ralph takes his armor and squeezes into it. It manages to fit him. Barely. He leaves Tapper and heads for Hero's Duty. Ralph's rather pleased when the Surge Protector doesn't question him for once.
On the way there, he accidentally trips over Q*Bert. Ralph apologizes and tells him who he really is, then awkwardly makes his way into Hero's Duty.
Ralph's clumsy and excited, but quickly learns that things aren't as easy as he thought they'd be when he's rushed into battle.
His aim is terrible, the Cy-Bugs are terrifying, and one of them eats his gun and transforms into having guns for arms, leaving him weaponless. Finally, he uses the first-person robot as a sheild, begging the Cy-Bug flying after him to take the player instead.
The Cy-Bug viciously attacks the robot and this causes the player to get a Game Over, and the player leaves in disgust. This causes the game to reset and Calhoun to berate Ralph for his behavior. During reset, all the remaining Cy-Bugs are killed by the beacon on top of the tower, because they can't tell when the game is over, all they're programmed for is destruction.
Ralph decides that he's going to get the medal one way or another, but he's not going to deal with the Cy-Bugs again. He ditches the armor and starts climbing the tower.
It seems to take him all day, he only reaches the top when the arcade closes. Finally, he gets to the 99th floor and takes the medal and all the fanfare that goes along with it.
While he's enjoying his unearned adulation, Ralph accidentally stumbles into a Cy-Bug egg, causing it to hatch and the baby bug to attach to his face. In his panic, Ralph accidentally activates an escape pod and it goes rocketing out, into Game Central Station, and finally crash lands in Sugar Rush.
The eject feature is set off and Ralph and the now-larger Cy-Bug go flying. The Cy-Bug is knocked unconscious and sinks into a pool of taffy.
Ralph, on the other hand, finds himself in a tree and medal-less. He spots the medal at the top of a tall tree and makes his way over to it.
As he's climbing the tree, a little girl named Vanellope interrupts him. They argue briefly, until Vanellope mistakes the medal for a coin she can use to enter a race.
They both scramble for the medal, Vanellope's experience wins out and she ends up with the medal, while Ralph ends up in a puddle of taffy.
She runs off to get her kart and pay her entry fee, while Ralph makes his messy way out of the puddle and searches for Vanellope.
Ralph finally finds Vanellope at the racetrack, everyone's gathered for the race and it's almost ready to start. Ralph chases after Vanellope, causing a mess as he knocks things over trying to get to her.
Eventually, a giant cupcake falls on Ralph and traps him. He's brought to the castle, where the ruler of Sugar Rush, King Candy, tells Ralph that the medal is gone and will only return when someone's won the race and gets all the coins entered in, so he's not going to be able to get the medal back. He tells Ralph to go back to his own game and leaves the donut police to free Ralph from the cupcake.
Ralph runs away, busting out of the castle and breaking the cupcake in the process. He hides from the police and makes his way through the kingdom to talk to the racers to try and get the winner to agree to give him his medal back.
As he follows the cars, he finds they were heading to Vanellope and her kart. The other racers bully Vanellope, telling her she can't race because she's a glitch. They destroy her home-made kart and push her into a chocolate mud puddle.
Ralph can't stand this and chases them off. He argues with Vanellope again, and in his frustration, starts smashing things. When he cracks open an unbreakable jawbreaker, Vanellope gets an idea and strikes up a deal with him.
They sneak into the factory where the karts are made, by Ralph breaking open a heavily-secured door.
The two work together at a series of frenetic mini-games in order to put the kart together. There's a lot of mistakes made and the end result is a haphazard mess.
Even though Ralph thinks the kart was a disaster, Vanellope loves it and she gets frosting so they both can write their names on it.
Ralph can't help but smile as he finally done something right for once, even though when Vanellope points this out he denies it.
Their fun is ended when King Candy and his police force show up. Vanellope confesses she can't drive a real car, so Ralph powers the car with his massive arms.
They manage to escape the police by driving into the secret entrance of Vanellope's home.
Vanellope and Ralph argue about her ability to drive and Ralph's medal. When he tells her that the medal was his ticket to a better life, she says that it's also her way to a good life. She shows off her home, talking about living alone in garbage, just like Ralph. She also shows him that the molten diet soda pool erupts when Mentos from the stalactites fall off.
Ralph decides to help Vanellope learn how to drive, even though he has no clue about how to do it himself. He makes her a track and after quite a few mishaps, Vanellope finally gets it down.
They head off to the race, but before they go too far, Vanellope stops and goes back to get something she forgot.
While Ralph is alone, King Candy shows up. Ralph is hostile to the King at first, but when King Candy gives him his medal (which he had retrieved by messing with the game's code), he agrees to listen.
King Candy tells Ralph that because Vanellope is a glitch, if she races and makes it into the game, her glitchiness could result in the game getting unplugged. And because of her status as a glitch, she wouldn't be able to leave the game and she'd die with it.
The King leaves and Vanellope returns. Ralph tries to speak to her, but she has a present for him. She made him a medal, just in case they aren't able to get it back.
Ralph tries to tell Vanellope that if she races, she might end up dying and when she discovers the medal and that Ralph's been talking to King Candy, she won't listen.
He then does the only thing he can do and wrecks the cart with his fists. Vanellope is heartbroken and tells Ralph that he's a bad guy.
Ralph sadly heads back to Fix-It Felix Jr., only to discover that the only person left is Gene. He tells Ralph that the game is out of order and scheduled to be unplugged and that Felix had gone to find Ralph, but hadn't returned, so everyone had packed up and moved out.
He gives Ralph the key to the penthouse and leaves him completely alone. Ralph, having messed up his game and his friendship with Vanellope, goes out onto the balcony. In his frustration, he throws the medal and it ends up hitting the screen and knocking the sign loose.
Ralph's able to see the Sugar Rush console and discovers that Vanellope's picture is on it. He hurries back to Sugar Rush and finds the King's assistant, Sour Bill, cleaning up what's left of Vanellope's kart.
Ralph interrogates Sour Bill roughly and finds out that King Candy had tried to delete Vanellope, making her a glitch. He doesn't know why this was done, just that everyone's memories got locked up at the same time and that everything will be reset if Vanellope crosses the finish line. He also says that Vanellope and Felix are locked away in the castle's dungeon.
There's about an hour left until the arcade opens for the day, and Ralph takes the kart remains and frees Felix first. Felix is happy to see Ralph, but at the same time, he's frustrated with him. They talk things over and Ralph asks Felix to fix Vanellope's kart and he does so.
Ralph then takes the fixed kart and breaks Vanellope free. He admits that he messed up and Vanellope forgives him.
The three of them head to the race, it's already started. Ralph and Felix hop off of the kart and watch the race on the jumbotron screen.
As they watch the race, Calhoun shows up. She punches Ralph and tells him that the Cy-Bug that came with him had multiplied. As soon as she says this, the Cy-Bugs come out of hiding and start the attack. As everyone leaves, the Cy-Bugs go after the Finish Line and Ralph slams Cy-Bugs to the ground and punches them to try and hold them off. Because the Cy-Bugs had eaten the sweets as they grew, they weren't as tough as the ones from Hero's Duty and Ralph's able to punch them into sugar dust.
Meanwhile, the race is still going on, when Vanellope catches up to King Candy, the two of them fight and her glitches reveal that he's actually Turbo, a racer from an old game that tried to take over another game. Turbo's game and the other game had both ended up unplugged and everyone had thought Turbo was dead. Because of the jumbotron, Ralph and Felix are able to see the whole encounter.
The Cy-Bugs destroy everything they come in contact with, one even eats King Candy.
Vanellope gets close to the finish line, but because of the Cy-Bugs, she can't finish and Ralph and the others take her to the exit.
Everyone's left except for Ralph, Felix, Vanellope, and Calhoun. Vanellope can't leave because of her glitches and Ralph tries his hardest to get her out anyway.
Calhoun says the game is doomed without a beacon like they've got in Hero's Duty. Ralph realizes that Vanellope's home in the volcano can be turned into a beacon. He takes Calhoun's hoverboard and gets on top of the mountain.
He uses his fists to knock the Mentos loose. Just as he's nearly done, he's suddenly attacked by something.
The Cy-Bug that had eaten King Candy turned into him, creating a gigantic monstrous hybrid of Turbo, King Candy, and Cy-Bug.
Ralph continues to try and break the Mentos, while the King Candy Cy-Bug attacks him.
Back at the exit, it's too late, the Cy-Bugs are closing in on Vanellope. The King Candy Cy-Bug is amused by this and attempts to force Ralph to watch as his friend dies. However, Ralph gets an idea and breaks free of his grip, falling towards the volcano in a sacrifice to save his friend and her game.
As he falls, he holds the medal she gave him and says the Bad-Anon oath to himself. He impacts the Mentos with his fist and falls through the volcano.
Before the diet soda erupts, Vanellope zooms by on a car another racer had left, makes the jump, and saves Ralph from dying.
They end up in a puddle of chocolate as the mountain erupts, causing a glowing stream of soda to fly through the air.
All the Cy-Bugs, including the one that's part King Candy and Turbo fly to the light and are vaporized by the molten liquid.
Once everything is calm, Ralph, Felix, Vanellope, and Calhoun head to the finish line. All the citizens re-enter the game and Felix fixes the finish line up.
Ralph pushes Vanellope in her kart across and she transforms into a princess and the land is restored, along with everyone's memories.
Once things are sorted out, Ralph and Vanellope say goodbye for now. Ralph and Felix get back to their game and Fix-It Felix Jr. isn't unplugged. The Nicelanders appreciate Ralph more and treat him kindly.
At some point, Ralph and Felix got Q*Bert and friends and other homeless characters to come and live in their game. Everyone gets houses, including Ralph.
At another point in time, Ralph is the best man at Felix's and Calhoun's wedding.
He goes back to Bad-Anon and tells them everything that happened and how he's happier now and realizes what they said was right all along.
The credits show Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun having adventures in many of the games in the arcade.
Ralph is taken from some point after the movie is over.
Moral Standing: The simple answer is that Ralph is a good person. The complicated answer is that within the world of the arcade and video games, Ralph is a Bad Guy by profession. It's his job to wreck the Niceland Apartment building so that the players can fix it with Felix. But even then, he's only a villain within the game because his home was destroyed to build the apartments and he reacted very strongly. Though, as Zangief says, Ralph is a good person while being a Bad Guy, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
Dreams: Ralph's content with the way things are right now. As long as Fix-It Felix Jr. is still working and giving him a job, he's happy. He wants both Sugar Rush and Hero's Duty to stay plugged in at the arcade. He also wants Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun to all be happy. He's got friends now, that's all he really wanted.
Fears: Dying outside of Fix-It Felix Jr. and getting a permanent Game Over. Fix-It Felix Jr. being unplugged and him becoming gameless. Sugar Rush and Hero's Duty getting unplugged and putting Vanellope and Calhoun out of their homes. Vanellope, Felix, and/or Calhoun dying outside of their games.
Extra: Ralph is very strong, he can easily smash things thought to be unbreakable very quickly. His movement speed is fairly slow, though he can pick up the pace in an emergency. While his legs may be slow, his arms are capable of rapid-fire poundings that turn things into rubble in a matter of seconds. Ralph has terrible breath, as noted by Vanellope, King Candy, and possibly Sour Bill. This is likely due to the fact that he lives in a dump. Ralph's stats from the official website.

Character Location: None, since all of the Wreck-It Ralph characters have the arcade.
