Benji Ramos

Benji Ramos is a character role-played by Lysium.

General Information
Benji Ramos is the leader and co-founder of  Seaside  and one of San Andreas’ biggest weapons manufacturers and traffickers. A powerful and skilled gang leader, he is renowned for his boisterous laugh, hot-temper, and ability to talk his way into and out of anything.

Born in the Philippines, Benji is a former Los Santos south-side gangster who now operates an expansive criminal and business network in addition to managing the secretive  Hades  gun operations.

Benji is a talented criminal with expertise in hacking and getaway driving. He was one of the first people to hack a bank security system in Los Santos, coining the term 'Bertified Bank Bobber', and has led crews to early success in heists such as robbing the Pacific Standard Public Deposit Bank  (the City Vault), Diamond Casino, and Oil Rig.

Benji is fiercely loyal to his gang and a select group of friends, including Irwin Dundee, Jean Paul and Yuno Sykk  (together the quartet form the Soy Gang ).

Inspiration behind Benji
Lysium created the Benji character to add to the under-represented South East Asian demographic in the GTA RP community.

Personality
Benji is an avid fan of ‘tea’ (gossip) and is talkative and witty, often lightening the mood in tense situations. He is reasonable, but when provoked, Benji can become hot-headed and escalate to violence.

He is known for trying to talk his way out of charges and jail time when arrested, often claiming to be a hostage despite evidence to the contrary.

Benji has also gained a reputation for mental warfare and manipulation through speech, described as having a "snake tongue" by enemies and allies alike.
