Ricky Robins is a character role-played by Penta
Background
Ricky is a member of the Leanbois. A formerly limbless man who you can usually find accompanying the help of people, which eventually lead to the Leanbois helping him, oftentimes proposing crazy schemes, manipulating people into doing his bidding, and being a part-time gunman. Ricky is best known for being aggressive, short-tempered and psychopathic.
Surgery
The help of the Leanbois, Ricky managed to kidnap Uchiha Jones, dismembering his body and storing the limbs until they were capable of obtaining a doctor. He later manipulated Choi Zhangsun underneath the guise of needing help with his "drug addiction," forcing her at gunpoint to perform surgery inside a meth lab with the help of Saab & Chang.
Recovering from surgery, Ricky immediately dove into committing various crimes, most notably being murder, torture, and a continuous streak of dismemberment. Due to his overall unpredictable behavior, he often creates conflict within the Leanbois and causes an overall dysfunctional atmosphere. He's been referred to as the "craziest motherfucker in Los Santos."
The help of his past of being associated with the Leanbois for a long time, he eventually became a member.
After his disappearance of binging reruns, he's recently returned from Peru, planning to kill the chief of police, instate martial law, and bring heroin into the city.
Ricky's Law
Ricky's Law was created in order to combat outsiders who intended to exploit and profit off the resources in the southside. This includes pawn shops, unprotected homes, and drug distribution. This law demands outsiders to be questioned and robbed of possibly stolen valuables. Cops are not an exception of this law.
The Rickys
While held in custody, Ricky was tasered multiple times and had been threatened with a police AR, having a bullet shot near his head by High Command Trooper Tony Andrews. Andrews later denied both medical care and a lawyer, leaving Ricky traumatized and bent on seeking revenge. After his prison sentence, Ricky pursued relief for the conditions he endured, only to lose his court case and realize the system wasn't designed to help the civilians of Los Santos. Unable to cope with this loss, Ricky and Denzel Williams both jumped Andrews inside the courtroom and fled the scene. The final nail into the coffin was after Officer Angel identified Ricky due to his clothes during another court case, causing another loss.
In response, a movement was formed underneath the tag #RickyWorld and The Rickys gang was created in order to win a future court case, the goal being to prove you cannot solely identify people off their clothing. Members dressed in identical red sock masks, sunglasses, bulletproof vests, red shorts and flip flops. Other members dressed as Ellie Dono, since "every Ricky needs an Ellie" in order to be properly balanced.
Due to Ricky being on the run from escaping custody, he gathered a bus full of randoms dressed as him with the help of Eugene and Apples in an attempt to manipulate citizens into believing cops were profilers. This sunk the message in during a "peaceful" protest on the steps of the courthouse, where Officer Angel had pulled a gun on oblivious citizens who hadn't known they were harboring a fugitive. This led to a chaotic chain of events where Sheriff Tribble assaulted multiple Rickys in his failed attempt to apprehend Denzel. Ricky was eventually picked out and sentenced to prison, only furthering his desire to expand his group.
Rickyism
The "peaceful" religious practice known as Rickyism. Members of the Rickys are sworn in by dedicating themselves to the cause, being baptised on the Los Santos shores near the Del Perro Pier. Ricky developed the Rickyworld movement to appear as a relious group which fought injustice and oppression. However, during the baptizing process he always stresses that nothing is more important than himself.
3 Beliefs of Rickyism:
- Nothing is more important than the cause.
- Ricky is more important than the cause.
- All water is sand!
Victory
After months of delays by the courts, the District Attorney Katya Zamalodchikova announced that all charges against Ricky were dropped. She contacted Ricky's attorney Jerry Callow and Ricky personally. The plan worked perfectly and Ricky finally received the vindication he hoped for.

He was devastated when Denzel told him he now faced the death penalty. Deputy Lauren Forcer, and Officer Emily Reinhart, arrived to speak to Denzel and then left to detain him.

When Dark questioned why Ricky was wearing the vest Ricky replied that it's his "Stone Cold Steve Austin" vest. Dark asked if he was a patched member of the Lost. Ricky told him again, it was just something he threw on because it looks like a Stone Cold vest. Dark then took a picture of Ricky in a holding cell wearing the vest, and later sent it to club leader Rudi Rinsen. Dark hopes to start conflict a between Ricky and The Lost over the vest.
Alien DNA
After attending Denzel's trial Ricky and the Leanbois went back to Lean St. They had an altercation with the Chang Gang over issues with Leanbois enemy GSF. They were told that problems with GSF would mean problems with Chang Gang because they share a trap house. GSF later attempt a drive by on Leanbois and Dexx Martin ambushed them at Benny's garage. Ricky was injured and rushed to the hospital where Dr. Agnes Ranbough advised him he'd either need his arm amputated of take alien DNA. Ricky reluctantly agreed to let her inject him with alien DNA, she warned that it had severe side effects. As a result, Ricky now speaks with a Jewish accent and is addicted to methamphetamine.
Relationships
Lang Buddha
Being the most similar to Ricky in the group, he's usually the first person Ricky decides to call when he has a plan in mind. Buddha usually agrees to follow suit if the plan in question doesn't tamper with his connections, or rob him of valuables. When both partnered without Saab and Tony, lacking any real restraint or reasonable person to intervene, the two often become unhinged with crime, going on killing sprees and staging murders. He is also a member of the Leanbois.
Al Saab
Saab is usually the main target for most of Ricky's jokes, given his rather nice and forgiving personality. Despite giving him shit, Ricky surprisingly views Saab as a brother and might be the closest one to him since Saab helped with making sure the surgery was a success. He is also a member of the Leanbois.
Tony Corleone
Tony and Ricky have a relationship that tends to continuously shift. One day they're getting along, and the other they're arguing about which plan to execute or who they should or should not kill. At one point Tony even became aggravated at Ricky ordering the boys around during the Reggie incident, where Reggie betrayed the boys in favor of becoming famous. Their bickering tends to get so bad that even Buddha has to step in or else they will go in circles. Nowadays they seem to cooperate better. He is also a member of the Leanbois.
Ellie "Helmet Girl" Dono
The first time Ellie met Ricky, he forced her to smoke crack over a dumpster until she became addicted enough to be vulnerable for his work. She often refers to him as "boss" and is constantly berated and threatened by him if she doesn't complete his tasks in a certain time limit. She is also a member of the Leanbois.
Choi Zhangsun
It's unsure whether or not Ricky and Choi have an actual friendship. Before getting kidnapped, they either tended to have regular conversations or get into competitive roasting sessions with one another. Ricky has even expressed romantic interest in her during multiple occasions, though she often declines since at the time she was engaged to Dennis LaBarre.
Denzel Williams
Ricky's best friend who regularly accompanies him during schemes, and is often times just as much as a loose canon. Denzel's loyalty could be considered as unbreakable, willing to put himself into life threatening situations in order to help Ricky succeed. This unlikely brotherhood could be due to when Ricky, after just meeting Denzel, had hunted down three notorious gang members and killed them in order to save Denzel's life. The duo often refers to themselves as "Arms & Legs" since Ricky was formerly limbless. He also a member of the Leanbois.
Chips Ahoy
Chips was in need a new kidney due to his years of drug abuse. Ricky wanted to help and earn some extra money. He agreed to pay Leslie Ling $500 (of Leslie's own money) plus an additional $20 for his kidney. Melbert Rickenbacker would perform a kidney transplant in an abandoned repair shop. Leslie and Chips nearly died but now Chips has a new HIV infected kidney thanks to Ricky and Mel.
