**Dingy Dave** also known as **Ricardo "Ricky" Cervantes**  is a character in NFL Rush Zone. A tough Albanian kid with an even tougher, more competitive dad, Ricky is rough on the outside and can be sarcastic and blunt, but he proves to be a loyal and dedicated friend whenever it counts. Much like Dweeby, Dingy Dave also tried courting Mel. Dingy Dave eventually forgot about her and tried having a relationship with a girl named Elysia. Upon joining the GAMERs, he becomes one of the main characters of seasons 2 and 3. He is a rival of DIO and Dweeby.

He is voiced by Nicolas Roye.

## Appearance

Dingy Dave is usually dressed in comically out of place attire, typically sporting a blazer. He usually smokes some cuban cigars and complains about libtards, with intense malice and ambition. Dingy Dave once blew all of his money on bitcoin after getting depressed over the evil Cumo taxing his businesses to oblivion. Pean's dad once remarked on how old fashioned Davis' attire is. Davis has a light skin tone, freckles like Dweeby and red hair.

## History

Dingy's Dave first appearance is in where he goes to the bowling alley with the GAMERs and notices Dweebys uncharacteristic loss to DIO in bowling. Dingy Dave makes the situation worse by stealing one of Dweebys turns, not participating in the game, automatically assuming Dweeby would take him home and commenting on how hard DIO was winning. In this episode it is shown that Dingy Dave has breathing problems possibly related to his habits.

Dingy Dave returns to play a much more important role in Season Two where it is revealed that Dingy Dave and Dweeby are both planning to go out with Mel. He asks DIO if she has a boyfriend which in response to DIO's detailed, "yes" says, "THAT MEANS NOTHING!" Dingy Dave also begins to intensify his rivalry with Dweeby and begins to develop one with DIO in the later part of season two and season three after seeing DIO's dominant influence over the group. Dingy Dave particularly try's to win over Pean and Kevlard by saying that he will, "make them men."

By the end of Season Two Dingy Dave realizes he loves Elysia instead of Mel and starts to go out with her. This would lead to many problems for him in Season 3 as Elysia proves to be the dominant person in the relationship and a reprehensible influence. This becomes so acute that Dingy Dave briefly flees to Pennsylvania to avoid her.

In the Gaiden episodes Dingy Dave is portrayed as making many foolish financial decisions. One especially prevalent one being that he spent all of his money on Bitcoin nearly completely bankrupting him save for three crumpled up dollar bills which he used to chip in for bowling despite being even less than half of what he had to pay by a wide margin. In addition, Dingy Dave is portrayed as having another rivalry with Lolbert and having a much older rivalry with DIO who constantly outwitted him in verbal battle.

Ricky, like the rest of the Guardians, gets a new suit to defeat Sudden Death's new Blitz Borgs and the Anticorians during season three, "Guardians Unleashed." Ricky and his fellow Guardians eventually defeat them and banish them inside a black hole, though it is later revealed that Sudden Death escaped.

## Personality

Due to his strong faith in capitalistic rugged individualism, Dingy Dave is very competitive when it comes to making money. Dingy Dave will do everything in his power to start a fortune he can call his own. In addition, Dingy Dave displays this by his extensive adventures in the stock market. It is implied that at one point Dingy Dave spent all of his money on bitcoin and ended up broke.

Dingy Dave is in heroic open rebellion against the evil Cumo and fights in the name of Libertarianism, Conservatism and especially with the GAMERs: Fascism. Dingy Dave is a very daring person frequently making questionable decisions that often come at the cost of his image. Dingy Dave's daring nature often guarantees him success in the world of woman. However, even that has come at his expense.

Dingy Dave has a strong passion for the PIANO and has a voice that is comparable to a rock star. Dingy Dave, much like DIO, is extremely cheap and like DIO, enjoys doing things that are absolutely free. Much like DIO, Dingy Dave knows a fair bit about politics, especially the history of libtardism. Dingy Dave is implied to have at least made a lot of money in the stock market despite frequently being associated with blunders.
