Description[]
Pepe Ramos is a half Mexican, half-Filipino criminal residing in Los Santos. He is a founder and OG of Seaside, a former Soldado of the Vagos, and cousin of notorious criminal Benji Ramos.

Pepe Ramos of the Vagos[]
In 3.0, Pepe's first "appearance" was on a phone call to Benji Ramos on June 26, 2021. He mentioned in the call that he swam to Los Santos from Mexico and had just arrived so wanted to meet his cousin to catch up. Unfortunately, Benji was in an active situation and could not chatter, and the call ended shortly after.
Pepe was usually seen patrolling Jamestown with his Chino Custom when he woke up. He was also known to unwittingly bring heat to the Vagos and had caused a war or two, but he always backed it up by being one of their best shooters, helping wipe out the opposition during shoot-outs. He also liked to do impromptu raps at the Barrio whenever something came to mind.
The Exodus[]
On November 3, 2021, Pepe was informed by Benji that he had left the Vagos. This prompts Pepe to become hysterical, as he had joined the Vagos to follow Benji. He planned to follow Benji out due to his loyalty to him, but life in the Barrio was the only way he knew how to live and was worried that he might not be able to adjust out of the gangster life. On the same day, after expressing to the Vagos his position as Benji's cousin, he was blooded out by getting stabbed in the mountains. He was rushed to the hospital and was in critical condition for a while, but Benji brought in AZN girls to help him stabilize.
Seaside (Life after the Vagos)[]
Post-ICU, he has forgotten that he was in Vagos, although from collecting information during talks with the rest of Seaside he is aware that he used to be one. Currently, he is focusing on releasing music in order to launch his career as a rapper, has procured a helicopter license, and is looking for more opportunities to branch out of the Femly.
Possessions[]
Properties[]
- Pepe currently lives at the apartments.
Vehicles[]
- Pepe owns a Chino Custom. Used to be decked out in Vagos livery, but after leaving the Vagos it is diamond blue in color.
Interests and Trivia[]
- Rap music
- Girls of AZN (Asian) descent
- Due to the influence of his "Mama", Pepe has made it his mission to "make his Mama proud" by only looking for mamacitas of Asian descent to date. He always asks women he meets if they are AZN and becomes disinterested if they're not.
- Since he is both smooth and awkward towards women he is interested in, it is more likely he throws rather than scores.
- It is important to note that the only non-AZN mamacita Pepe has shown a little bit of interest in is Linda Maridan, although that was back when Pepe couldn't find any AZN girls yet.
Name | Relationship Status | Info | Note |
---|---|---|---|
Kitty Dream | Acquaintance / Unknown | Met when Kitty stopped by the Barrio. Pepe was highly awkward during the encounter although Kitty thought nothing of it. Afterwards, Pepe believed he had made a great impression and that Kitty was already in love with him. | After being blooded out, it is unclear whether Pepe remembers Kitty and the event. |
Sunmoon Lee | Acquaintance / Unknown | Another acquaintance while he was in the Vagos, but Pepe did not know of her link to Santi at the time. He accidentally sent her a text message with an attached voice clip of him breathing heavily while trying to think of how to message her to make a good impression. He tried to salvage it by sending another text to say it was accidental, but it is likely Sunmoon thinks Pepe is a weird one, now. | After being blooded out, it is unclear whether Pepe remembers Sunmoon and the event. |
Mina Rocket | Acquaintance / Unknown | KJ's ex-girlfriend. She was contacted to help stabilize Pepe's condition while he was in the ICU. | After being blooded out, it is unclear whether Pepe remembers Mina or if he remembers hearing her voice in ICU. |
Phueng Madee | Blind Date | An UwU Cafe employee Benji set Pepe up with after finding out she was AZN. They went on a blind date, where he impressed her with his helicopter license and by talking about his non-existent wealth. However, Pepe had already shown interest in Sana at the time, so although he thinks she was nice, he did not actively pursue her after their date. | Pheung has expressed to Benji that she was interested in Kaiba so he lured her in by flexing the Mansion and his GTR, so in turn she became a little interested in Benji, but does not want conflict with Ash. |
Sana Satoru | Ex-Girlfriend / Sana's "friend" | Sana is a singer that was introduced to Pepe, and initially he was only interested in collaborating with her in music. However, while working together in music and at UwU Cafe, as well as learning about her Japanese roots, he grew a little more interested in her over time. Benji introduced Phueng before he could finally invite her on a date, but Pepe was determined to do so, that he finally asked her out afterwards. | Pepe and Sana's relationship lasted less than 2 months. This was due to Pepe "ghosting" Sana periodically, making her feel like he does not value the relationship. Although in one particularly long absence, Pepe said he was drugged during a party out with some "old friends." |

- Pepe is a known cat lover. He likes to pet any he encounters on the streets.
