Doug Ryker

Portrayed by EllyTV

**Doug Ryker**, professionally known as Ranger Ryker, is a **San Andreas State Park Ranger.**

Ryker, as he is also known, is a former **LSPD** Officer who managed to get a Transfer to the State Park Rangers when Ranger Miles opened up some employment opportunities. Fortunately for Ryker, his best friend Abel Callaway was already at Beaver Bush when Ryker was transferred.

Ryker, in true Ranger fashion has a large disdain for everyday human life, and prefers to spend the time with Animals, including a cheeky Cougar or two (found commonly in the Visitor Car Park near Vinewood Sign).

## General Description

**Doug Ryker** is a Park Ranger for the **San Andreas State Park Rangers**. Badge number 402.

Ryker used to be an LSPD Officer prior to transferring to the Rangers.

His best friend **Abel Callaway** is also San Andreas State Park Ranger.

## Physical Description

Doug Ryker is a 40 year old Caucasian male with natural brown hair, dark brown eyes and a furrowed brow. His face is unshaven and is self titled 'designer stubble'.

Oddly, Ryker is absolutely shredded, to the surprise to a few people during the first weekend of Herman Shaw's boxing competition, with a full six pack and a shredded apperance, Ryker is nothing to be scoffed at.

Ryker has tattoo's on his upper thigh which he is too shy to show, as it was previously part of a dare during his younger time in LSPD. It is a tattoo of the once famed and now defunct BCSO (Blaine County Sherrif's Office). Ryker never shows his upper legs due to shame. Aside from that, Ryker has had numerous temporary tattoo's including a face tattoo which he was advised to remove by senior command within LSPD, much to his dismay.

## Mike (The Mascot)

Mike the Beaver had been a Mascot since the early 1990's, where **Ranger Miles** (initially the only Park Ranger) found the Beaver in a deeply injured state, and utilising his skills, nursed the Beaver back to full health. Unfortunately, Mike the Beaver became domesticated and subsequently became the lead Mascot for Beaver Bush Ranger Station.

Mike was key to fundraising for the Beaver Bush Wildlife Prevention Fund (BBWPF), gaining thousands of dollars in donations which went towards new vehicles, and a brand new building at Beaver Bush.

Due to his fame, Mike the Beaver became unruly, and started biting and clawing whenever approached.

Ryker, unlike Miles wasn't keen on the Beaver, and when Mike went on a feral rampage towards the Park Ranger, was shot.

It was decided that Mike, was to be kept in a drawer in the main Beaver Bush office, to hide this from **Ranger Miles**. He has remained ever since.

## Relationships

Doug Ryker has been known across the LSPD to be flirtatious and promiscuous with other LSPD Officers. This is how he originally had met his Wife, Shirley Ryker. He immediately asked her out on a date during his first set of Interrogation Training, where she was the lead.

They, very quickly ended up married, and had one child, Jeremy Ryker. Shirley cares for Jeremy mainly on her own, due to Doug opting to sleep at Beaver Bush during his stints on shift, visiting his girlfriend Sandy.

Now known to Shirley, Doug has been having an affair with one of the ladies at Beaver Bush, Sandy Sharp. Even since then, Doug's constant confusion in referring to both of the leading ladies in his life has often got him into trouble with both of the women. Now neither Sandy, or Shirley will even speak to Doug.
