Trivia

Ricardo Santilli is a hispanic/italian character originally created on the 2nd day after Phantasy Star Universe was sold. The name Santilli is italian in origin and originally came from a canadian singer sharing the same last name. In the original Phantasy Star Universe, Ricardo wore BoaBoa vest with BoaBoa shorts, and Innocent shoes. After 1up Cup the bikini became a permanent clothing addition but without the cowboy hat.

Classes

Originally, Ricardo Santilli started from a Hunter to Fortefighter, then Fighgunner. Once the expansion pack was released, Acrofighter, Protranser, then finally Fortefighter.

History

The main running gag with Ricardo Santilli was mostly never hitting level cap. Newer players would reach the cap in two months yet it took 2 years to finally hit a level cap with Ricardo. After “1up Cup” Ricardo began to wear the bikini, although it originally was not meant to be permanent. Wearing a bikini during those times meant being booted from parties, people avoiding you, and being ridiculed. Bikini swimwear was not really popular for males, but it was more socially acceptable for females to wear it.

Before Ambition of Illuminus was released, the community was a bit more open to the bikini. Also during that time, content updates were spread thin. For the majority of playtime, Ricardo sat in the lobby idling. After the expansion, Ricardo tweaked the look by adding a brown winter cap. The cowboy hat came a few weeks later originally thought up by someone else in a party. So the whole party dressed in a bikini and a cowboy hat to sort of bug everyone around them. The cowboy hat later became a permanent addition to the look, however there will be days where the hat will change back to the cap.

Mute

After the release of expansion, Ricardo changed into a mute character as a social experiment to see how communication can be made by just using emotes. Through those months, Ricardo has been able to keep track and analyze friendships, relationships, and enemies among other players who may have never spoken to Ricardo. In addition, viewing how other players interact with this game and their progression into maturity or even immaturity.

Emotes

All emotes are based on what someone else says or does. Most of the time, Ricardo will copy your emote to get your attention. If that fails then Ricardo will probably do “Question” or “Event Pose 4″.
