“I'm Zip. I don't think that's short for anything, because I don't know what it'd be short for. Zippy? Zipperick? Ziptholomew?”— Zip
Ricky, more commonly known as Zip,[1] is a Nuka-Cola addict in Little Lamplight in 2277.
Background
Ricky was born in 2268.[2] He isn't sure why he is called Zip. In his own words, "Why Zip, or why do I even have a nickname at all? I mean, why don't people just call me Ricky? Or Yancy? Or Eustace P. Vanderbanger the Third? People say it's because I'm so fast. But, I don't think I'm that fast, it's just they're all slow."
