Description[]
Ricky Borby looks like the Wish.com kids’ costume version of Eminem. He often wears yellow neon shoes, which makes sense considering he has the fashion sense of a child. Ricky also frequently wears a jacket with baggy jeans that are sagged revealing his white underwear. Ricky is so stupid, he could be easily mistaken for someone who has Tourette’s because he jumps out of moving cars usually sending him to the hospital or punching people usually starting a fight by "trying to look at his phone".
Ricky has a medical condition named GERD which causes him to lose his eyebrows. He is constantly reminded of it as people are not used to seeing others without them; they often make fun of Ricky's looks and cause him great pain.

Whether attempting daring bank robberies or engaging in shady dealings, Ricky's involvement was synonymous with unpredictability and a knack for attracting trouble.
Betrayals and Lost Alliances: The echoes of Ricky's past betrayals resonate through the years. The five-year-old criminal landscape saw him turning on allies for spare change and an ego boost, an approach that consistently backfired. Former allies became foes, and Ricky's list of enemies continued to grow, creating a web of distrust that lingered in the city's underworld.
Compulsive Lying and Deceptive Narratives: Even in the criminal escapades of yesteryears, Ricky's penchant for compulsive lying stood out. Every heist, every deal, and every interaction were shrouded in deceptive narratives as he wove intricate tales to serve his interests. However, his inability to fool anyone but himself remained a constant theme, creating an amusing yet perplexing dynamic in the criminal underworld.

The legacy of chaos he created became a cautionary tale, a reminder that unpredictability and unreliability were woven into the very fabric of his being.

Current Impact and Reflection: While the crimes themselves may be distant memories, In the present day of Los Santos, amidst the perpetual chaos that defines Ricky Borby's existence, there emerges a surprising and heartening twist in his narrative. Despite a past marked by betrayal and failed criminal endeavors, Ricky has managed to reconcile with Winslow Jackson, his once betrayed and estranged friend.
Forgotten Woes: The key to their renewed friendship lies in a curious quirk of memory. Winslow Jackson, possibly due to the sheer tumult of their shared history, has forgotten the specifics of the past transgressions between him and Ricky. The details of the failed bank robbery and the subsequent betrayal have slipped from his memory, creating a blank slate for their relationship.

Trivia[]
- Ricky is very insecure. Whenever someone lowers his ego, Ricky will act tough to make himself feel better. This usually ends with him getting bitched, then sent to the hospital.
- Ricky has a known medical condition known as GERD, which causes his voice to crack and him to lose his hair, prompting him to apply spray paint to his hairline.
- Ricky is the most dangerous hazard one can face on the road. Whenever he is behind the wheel, he always leaves a trail of destruction behind that wrecks everyone and everything, including (and especially) himself. He is not afraid to get behind the wheel when he's drunk, adding to the danger.
- Ricky, being the jackass he is, always tends to forget his friend and founding gang member, Marcus Owans. Ricky tends to focus only on Winslow Jackson, and even then he treats Winslow no better than he treats anyone else.

- Ricky set the new world record for most hospital visits in under an hour when he went to the hospital 50 times within that timeframe.
- Ricky has revealed in a text message to Raymond Romanov that he has a brother called Eric. However, in a later conversation with Raymond he claims that Eric is his cousin. Either this is another one of his lies, he somehow has trouble remembering his own family members, or his family from bumfuck Missouri practices incest (which would explain a lot).
