Redesigned Ralph Iman by making him a 3D model.

You're walking under a bridge, and you see a demon in front of you, illuminated in the light. He stands there, and after a few moments, he waves at you. You ask him what he wants for him to let you free.

He's a little confused. "I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise. I was actually just on the way to a friend's house. Are you looking for somewhere? I can give you directions if you'd like."

Cautious, you take him up on his offer. Surprisingly, he has no ulterior motives as he calmly gives you directions to the nearest convenience store, then moves out of the way to let you pass, before walking away in the opposite direction.

Looks can be deceiving.

His name is Ralph, and he's really just a sweet guy. He just looks like that, that's all.

This is Ralph Iman, a big red 10-feet-tall demon with eyes plastered all over his body. He was created for the sole purpose of terrorizing people.

The thing is, when demons are created, the appearance can be customized prior to creation, but the personality cannot be. The truth is, Ralph turned out to be a very kind, sweet, person who spends his life running an ice cream shop and taking care of a cat. He has a lot of love and compassion for everyone, even people who are afraid of him. He hates scaring people with his appearance. He rarely ever travels to other places, since he's already pretty well-known in his community. So at least they know what to expect when they come into the Icey Delight.

He dreams of one day finding another person who loves him, often engaging in romance media while imagining himself in a relationship. He doesn't have a lot of hope that it'll happen, but that's why it's a dream.

The eye thing is both a blessing and a curse. He has full 360 vision at all times, which is really useful. But imagine taking a shower, going to the beach, or cutting onions.
