Bingo Teddy

Bingo Teddy is a character role-played by WhoaDudeCool.

General Description
Bingo arrived in Los Santos in 2020. He fled his hometown by stowing away in the back of a Panto on a cargo ship, to escape a biker gang after he shot down one of their members.

Escape to Canada(?)
After shooting down the biker and escaping into the night, Bingo decided to call in a favor to his friend who worked at the docks. For a fee (yet to be repaid), he was smuggled onto a cargo ship in the back of a Panto, bound for Canada. However, the ship ended up in Los Santos. He doesn't know how or why, but he hopes to find an answer some day. He has been saving up to pay his friend back, in case he ever finds Bingo and comes to collect.

Bingo tried starting a new life, but he wasn't really good at keeping up with the speed and hustle of Los Santos. He mostly earned cash by doing tow, sanitation, and other small jobs when he could. Eventually, he became a heavy drinker because of his boring life, and passed out wasted in an alley way behind the VU one night after heavy drinking.

Supposedly, Bingo slipped into a coma and woke up about a year or two later - confused, and in a new apartment. Outside, he found a black minivan parked and the keys in his pocket. He often refers to his van as his "Shitty Black Minivan" (but he loves it dearly).

Turning to a Life of Crime
One day while Bingo was running a sanitation job, he met Darren Storm. After working together and getting to know each other a bit, Darren decided to show Bingo how to chop vehicles so they could partner up and make better money together. Sadly, Bingo stopped coming around and lost touch with Darren; his first friend in the city.

About a year later, Bingo was out for a late night drive and wound up at the docks; where he first arrived in the city. He had a long, hard think about what he wanted to do with himself and eventually decided to turn to a life of crime. He would do so one step at a time, careful to not get in over his head too fast. His hope was to find a family that could offer him protection, in exchange for his loyalty, service, and talents. He began chopping again, keeping an eye out for an opportunity to prove himself to a group that would have him.

Darren found Bingo active in the yellow pages after his long hiatus and called to reconnect. Both Bingo and Darren agreed to keep in touch and try to do some work (or crime) together again in the future.

BSK and the Future
One night after running some chop, Bingo saw an ad in the Yellow Pages from Alex Fibbler who was buying materials for Cash 4 Trash. When Bingo pulled up to the Brouge Street Kingz Car Wash to sell them, he found out that Fibbler was part of BSK. Bingo decided he would work hard to collect materials and sell exclusively to Fibbler and other BSK members, because they actually talked to him and weren't assholes. To this day, Bingo continues to chop cars and only sells the materials to Fibbler.

Bingo also met Crack Sparrow, who (with great patience) taught him how to do oxy runs and rob jewelry stores. He also answered all of Bingos noob questions about how to do crime in the city. One night, Crack introduced Bingo to Parker Wright, and sent them both out to attempt their first jewelry store heist together. Bingo crashed the car in the escape and they both got caught, but Bingo loved the thrill and they both bonded a bit in jail together.

On August 13th, 2023, at the debrief of a BSK vs Maribunta Grande war, Outto-Tune Tyrone offered Bingo the opportunity to put red shoes on and officially become a Hangaround. Bingo accepted.

On October 7th, 2023, after a successful vault heist getaway, Bingo was promoted to Prospect by Sly.
