For (Player Name's) eyes only
"I will save the people as a member of the great Gleiphnir!" When I made that oath, I felt closer to being the hero I'd always imagined when I was a kid. After the induction ceremomy, my spirits were too high, and I had a difficult time getting to sleep that night.

We'd been sent out to eliminate Aragami from a potential site for a new satelite base. It was my first major operation since joining Gleiphnir. I was filled with pride at having being chosen, and at some point, the ambition to become one of the elites swelled up inside me.

Flames and dust rising, A cruel scattering of God Arcs with no owners. The choking stentch of blood. The comerades I'd laugh and celebrated victories with were all dead. We were sorely outnumbered, and the operation failed. Unable to face my own powerlessness, I left Gleiphnir to forget.

The people of the satelite base cheerfully accepted even a failure like me. To them, I was a reliable God Eater of remarkable skill and in time, I saw this treatment slowly healing my wounded heart. I swore to myself the this time I would defend my companions.

I never thought I'd run into the governor-generals son after leaving Gliephnir. Again I felt the sting of guilt for abandoning my comerades and found myself unable to meet Werner's eyes for some time.

The skies were unusually clear the day Hilda and Werner arrived. They told me of their plan to build and underground base and create a utopia. To me, the sincerity in thier eyes and the passion of their voices was as brilliant as the midday sun.

On the day of the Calamity, The Ash Storm and waves of Aragami reminded me all too much of the disasterous operation. This time I would protect the place and people that accepted me. But that oath was shattered. I stared blankly from the trailer as people fled and died and the base was destroyed.
Memory Data Ricardo: 8
For (Player Name's) eyes only
When I met Hilda again, her eyes still held the same conviction. The Calamity had not dimmed the light in them at all. She captivated me. As atonement for my failure to protect or aid their dream, I bent my will toward doing all I could for the Chrysanthemum.

Personality[]
Originally seeming to be aloof and more or less disinterested in everything but his observation's mission when visiting Port Pennyworth , Ricardo is actually an intelligent, prudent and in the end, good man. Far more humane than most peoples, he doesn't seem to feel any hatred, disgust or mistrust for Adaptatives God Eaters and treats them like esteemed colleagues and later, friends.
He is before everything a dependable man, one of Hilda's closest people and her direct right hand. Obeying her orders perfectly, he is quite litteraly her most trusted underling for a lot of things, showing great diversity and versatility of skills, in and out of battle.
He also seems to like children, giving candies to Pennyworth's kids and Phym,.. of course, in exchange of some help with maintenance (generally a little cleaning) around Chrysanthemum crawler.
