Appearance

Rippen is a tall, broad-shouldered alien with pale green skin, pointed ears, glowing red eyes, and spiky black hair streaked with green-gray. He sports a neatly trimmed goatee and usually wears an immaculate dark purple business suit with a crimson tie.

While teaching, he wears a gold paint-splattered art apron over his suit, carrying brushes, pencils, scissors, and charcoal in its pockets.

Despite looking intimidating, he's surprisingly graceful and meticulous whenever he's painting or sculpting.

They speak to him normally.

They ask about his artwork.

Compliment his paintings.

Bring him coffee.

Invite him to teacher meetings.

Treat him...

like a person.

Rippen finds this deeply unsettling.

He initially assumes it's some elaborate trap.

Weeks pass.

Nothing happens.

They're just...

nice.

And somehow...

that terrifies him more than Penn Zero ever has.

Friendly coworkers.

Then...
