Hello Abyss

"Bondrewd to Nanachi"

- Your prayers... your ardent desire to choose your own paths and push forward... they surpassed even my own.

Team Riko, or The Challengers (as described by Bondrewd and Wazukyan), is the tentative name of Riko's group of Delvers.

The earliest incarnation of Team Riko began when Riko encountered an unconscious Reg in the 1st Layer, after being attacked by a Crimson Splitjaw. Initially spurred into adventure by a mysterious letter and a desire to uncover Reg's unknown origin, the duo embarked on a dive into the furthest reaches of The Abyss.

Despite their relative inexperience, they have been acknowledged by White Whistles, such as Bondrewd and Srajo, for their unparalleled tenacity and uniqueness.

Trivia

 * As noted by Srajo, each member of Team Riko has a unique or unlikely connection to the Abyss. Riko was a stillborn brought back from the dead by the Curse-Warding Box, while in the Abyss. Reg is speculated to have originated from the "bottom of the Netherworld". Nanachi possesses a supremely rare Blessed form. Faputa was born from three very powerful wish-granting relics.
