"That was sudden. Must've given you a fright! But please stay calm. I know the right person for the job when I see them!"
—RiCO, Mega Man X DiVE

RiCO (リコ Riko) is character in Mega Man X DiVE, acting as both a playable character and the game's navigator. In the game, she speaks directly to the Player in menus and summons Hunter Programs for them to control.[1]

Overview[]

RiCO takes the appearance of a young female Reploid donning a mainly white and blue uniform-like armor, with yellow and orange details. While she looks quite proper and professional, with a necktie, headset and tablet giving her the appearance of a navigator, her young looks also give her a jovial and upbeat aspect. Matching the details of her armor, she has blue eyes and hair, the latter kept tied in a sidetail. She also sports in some occasions round glasses with a silver frame.

In contrast to the other navigators in the Mega Man X series, who in general tend to present a more serious and straightforward demeanor (Pallette to a lesser extent), RiCO exudes a bubbly and cheerful behavior, excitedly encouraging the player during navigation.

History[]

X8NavigatorAlertIconEdit This section requires expansion.

RiCO is a result from the errors in the Deep Log, a self-aware program with the ability to analyze and manifest data. Believing that she was the admin of the Deep Log, RiCO tried to correct the errors and restore the world to normal. She was unable to do it alone, so she searched someone to help her, eventually finding the player, and used her ability to summon a Hunter Program so the player could help her, with RiCO being the player's navigator. They are soon joined by ViA, and as they continue to fix the Deep Log, they met many characters from the franchise, with RiCO analyzing many Hunter Programs for the player, including manifesting herself as a Hunter Program, validating her a Mega Man X series character.

As RiCO was unaware that fixing the Deep Log would eventually result in the disappearance of those created by the errors, including herself, her sister, iCO, sent ViA to test her and the player. iCO eventually appeared to inform them about their situation. Her tests made RiCO realize that if she wanted to continue her mission without erasing themselves, she needed to manifest them as Hunter Programs, which would connect them with the Mega Man X Deep Log, the final test resulting in RiCO manifesting iCO's Hunter Program and joining them.

RiCO found that three siblings created by the errors, Droitclair, Angepitoyeir, and Eratoeir, were causing more errors in Deep Log. The three were infected by the Sigma Virus, which would eventually destroy themselves. To save them, RiCO manifested the three as Hunter Programs. After things calmed down, RiCO manifested ViA's Hunter Program.
