History

Born in Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico, Borg "Bo" Ruiz was adopted at a young age by Carmen, Roberta, and Apinya Ruiz and grew up in Spokane, Washington with older sister, Magi Ruiz. Ruiz is 5'2" and has proudly maintained poorly dyed purple hair since Ruiz was young. The two of them were close as children, but they began to drift apart when Magi started to get more invested in her magic studies, something Ruiz initially had a hard time relating to. However, while Magi pored over her studies, learning about magic and its practical applications, Ruiz decided to try studying a separate kind of magic — divination. Over time, Ruiz became increasingly fascinated with tasseography, scrying, and cartomancy: particularly tarot.

Through tarot study Ruiz quickly amassed an impressive collection of decks, finding and using one for a few weeks at most before deciding that it "didn't fit the vibe" and moving on to the next. One night, after months of searching for the “perfect deck” and coming up empty, Ruiz began to sort through previous decks in an attempt to revisit them only to find that Ruiz had accidentally been mixing them up in storage with playing and trading cards, creating multiple sets of mismatched decks. Feeling inspired, Ruiz tested the unique new decks by giving each of Ruiz's three moms a reading. When asked to describe the feeling of using the unusual decks, Ruiz compared it to "the feeling of putting on a pair of fitted leather gloves for the first time." After proudly showing this discovery to Magi she decided to celebrate this by giving Ruiz the nickname "Ace of Spades," likely in reference to Ruiz’s grey-asexuality. As much as Ruiz respects the title, various sources^Who? have reported that Ruiz has attempted the usage of "Ace of Diamonds" to lesser success.

Following Magi signing with the Seattle Garages, Ruiz began occasionally tagging along with her to band and blaseball practices. Despite not previously showing any interest in the Garages, band or blaseball, Ruiz frequently sought out band and teammates of Magi's with questions, learning more about work as a sound technician and about the splort. During this time Ruiz befriended Magi's roommate Sparks Beans and her fellow pitcher Alaynabella Hollywood. After being caught reading tea leaves at their apartment one weekend, Beans showed Ruiz how to brew Turkish coffee and then how to read the coffee grounds. [And then here's where we introduce Bo’s friendship with Lenji]

[Also like. Shit goes here lmao.]

After helping Magi and Guzman channel Beans’s electric form at the end of Season 19, Ruiz decided to take the advice of Karim, Hollywood, and Beans and further pursue tea and coffee based divination alongside other interests in the Shadow Moabbey similar to how Beans had once done.

Career with the Sunbeams

[Insert the rest of the whole “and that's how i got here” stuff].

Upon arrival at the Moabbey, Ruiz found the days to filled with typical aspiriant duties: manuscript illumination, fighting off the lava bats that get too close to Smoothyggdrasil at night, and building up tolerance to smoothies. Not long after Ruiz finished unpacking, Ruiz noticed that the room was already occupied by someone else; a Utah Banded Gecko. Attempts to leave the animal alone, waiting for it to leave when it felt so inclined were ultimately dashed one faithful morning when, according to Ruiz, "I woke up and there it was asleep on my forehead. I still don’t know what to name it."^Where? It was only around this time that Ruiz had begun to get compliments around Ruiz's "beautiful, magical, flowing hair"^When? that many other monks believed to be Ruiz's own magical ability. However, when Ruiz informed them that this was a new occurrence many believed that it was a factor of a greater Adaptation, though Ruiz thinks it may possibly be the only Adaptation gained.

While Ruiz preferred to spend free time alone, continuing practicing divination and unwinding with solitaire, teammates Zack Sanders and Harriet Gildehaus quickly took a liking to the new player, and Ruiz could often be found performing a variety of card tricks for one or both of them around the Moabbey grounds. Additionally, Ruiz has been spotted taking trips in the boat of Kaj Statter Jr. in search of interesting little treasures out in the desert or just as a means of relaxation with a friend.

As the Moabbey crew mainly assisted Statter Jr. in sailing xir boat through the desert, various teammates began to notice Ruiz's excitement over the event. Unlike many of the other members of the team who were far more emotionally invested in the return to the desert they once called home, Ruiz was highly interested in the work of the entity known as The Reader as a fellow tarot reader. It was for this reason that, when given the chance on Day 72, Ruiz swapped for teammate Guy Gulp in a night shift. At that moment Gulp noticed a particularly interesting card poking out of one of Ruiz's decks and decided to grab it for unknown purposes. Ruiz, however, was notably distracted in leaving the crew and now getting the chance to actually speak with The Reader as the entity's self proclaimed “Biggest Fan”, though this claim is unfounded. Regardless, it is clear that the aesthetics of the player and the entity do align quite heavily and inspiration was likely taken from one to the other.

Off the field, Ruiz can be found inside Sigmund Castillo, often in the room that formerly served as Ruiz’s bedroom and has now been converted into a makeshift workshop, or at the house Ruiz recently has moved into with fellow Sunbeams rookies Guy Gulp, the Besties, and Phineas Wormthrice. On weekends, teammate Paula Reddick is occasionally seen at the group’s residence, hir truck loaded up with spare parts for Ruiz to rummage through. After sharing the brand new permanent address with friends around the league, Ruiz has been sent a number of new "cards" to add to Ruiz's endless card and deck collection. Most recently Ruiz has received [insert <choose> of absolute bulled shit from all over].

Trivia

• Ruiz barely pays attention to actual games of Blaseball, possibly a product of becoming a member of the team during such a strange period of time, and is usually being pushed into position by a teammate.
• As a lover of card tricks, Ruiz performs magic shows on weekends at the Bourbon Legend, and would practice minor card tricks for fellow aspirants at the Moabbey for fun.
• Ruiz rides a roomba about the field. When asked how this is done most reports claim it is similar to riding a skateboard.
• Ruiz’s "pregame ritual" habit of playing Solitaire isn't exclusive to before the game, but during the game as well. There is a table in the Solarium dugout so Ruiz can keep playing Solitaire, though the lack of such a table at away games has never stopped a game before.
• To this day Ruiz has never eaten hot food.
