Richie's Shield
Richie's signature weapon is his Shield. He obtains it with some of the others in Chapter 6. The Shield is used as a projectile. When Richie is next to someone and equipped with his Shield, the person he is next to takes reduced damage from attacks. The Shield also lets Richie use his Special Move, "Defender." This move makes it so that all the Guardians take 0 damage during the turn.

Prologue
Richie is one of the three members of the Emerald Guardians that is sent by Lord Knux to battle the Sword Artists. He is a bodyguard of Billy Bob and Lord Knux. While in the academy, he learned to run fast and protect people and himself, but he is abysmally weak.

Chapter 1
Richie shows that he is good at protecting his comrades while they do the fighting, as they usually can't take hits with their combat armor, while he doesn't have to wear combat armor and mostly wears protective armor, though he can still move in it as it was specially made on the Angel Island.

Chapter 2
When the village the Guardians are in is attacked, Richie shows disgust for ruffians and thieves and decides that they should defend the village. Richie is put in charge of guarding houses while Billy Bob and Michael fend off the ruffians.

Chapter 3
Richie shows that he is friendly with newcomers to the Guardians when he shows Boxxer how to fight while they are battling the Sanic Speeds, and becomes jealous due to how strong Boxxer becomes in such a short time.
