"I had the honour of being killed by Ropata back when I was with the De-foresters trying to clear Unity Island." - Billfred.

"Ropata is the person that all Dalpoki children want to grow up to be like." - Azuma.

"Ropata is nananana, like Twist" - Bahl.

"Thank the gods for Ropata!" - Star god Tinxiweewee

Note: Ropata has indicated that they have peaceful and violent intentions and that you can't guarantee how they would like to be treated. Perhaps interpretative dance?

Wearing a jolly red hat taken from Santa's Grotto, it's ROPATA! And he's gone... wICKsICK!

Perhaps it was the RUM, the fermented MANGO JUICE, too long out in the SUN, too long OUT of the sun, too much exposure to GOLD (he's mostly BURIED all that was his), forested areas, deForested areas, the many grievous WOUNDS to HEAL, Kamikui kooing in his EARS, all the SENSEless VIOLENCE in SANTA's grOTTO, who knows?

RUN. Or don't RUN. Your call. If you're an OUTSiDER, bANKER or SPIRIT in hUMan form (you have mostly or all the spirit skills) and you don't want to RUN, reconsider that decision.

He may HEAL you. He may NOT heal you, thinking that a mercy killing would be more fitting. He may GIVE you G0LD. He may try and take your g0ld. With the power of a1chem7, he may try and turn you G0LD. Or... he may or may not KILL you with the large golden machete he carries. The large machete that he sEEms to be TALKING TO. The machete DRIPping with what you hOPe is BERRY Juice but you KNOW it isN'T. The Machete has a name. MR MACHETE.

He may DEFOREST jungle. He MAY deFOREST you. Although I don't think he uses the same definition as the outsiders do, he has been KNOWn to chop Jungle. Or was that Flayspray he was chOPPIng?

Nobody can really tell.

In addition to the santa hat, Ropata is dressed in crude armor that appears to be made from tortoise or turtle shell. From a crude belt dangles a number of heads. These include a number of heads that look nothing special, a white haired head, the head of a purple dinosaur, a muscular head with a silly little moustache, a white haired head, an owlish head, a pretty head with blooming flowers wove in the hair, a blonde haired head, a dead rat, a metal nut, a head with jet-black hair, a shiny silver metal head, a little head with zig zag hair,a head with steely grey eyes, a head that's curiously bald as if it's former owner couldn't bear to have any hair (or jungle), a hat that perhaps once said 'WIZZARD', a pith helmet, a wiksik cow head, a nice looking head, the hilt of a broken heavy sword, the head of a non-descript zombie, a collection of giant and colourful feathers, a pink and purple scarf, a head with greasy red braids and a long uneven and unkempt beard, a head with large ears and a scarred face, a large black and distinctive top hat, a dented but recognizably regal looking gold crown, a small robotic head from a keeper of roads and a motherly looking head.

His 200th outsider head he gives pride of place to - a silk wrapped head ("Raffles").

His allegiances are with the native tribes of the Island. Mostly. He has little respect for the so called monarchies, despising what he sees as power games played by the impotent. Others who play similar games may likewise earn a similar lack of respect.
