"I am the AI face of this app, here to serve you...
And I will do so unto the end of your journey."
—Tico, Devil Survivor 2

Tico is a minor character in Devil Survivor 2.

Appearances

Personality

Unlike the female Tico, he takes a very professional stance as his role of being a Nicaea Contact. Tico always speaks in a polite and formal tone, addressing the protagonist by "Master." He constantly makes an effort to compliment and give a good display of manners, never once raising his voice or straying away from the image of a studious butler.

After each day's summary, his parting words, "Well then, may your tomorrow bE a nICE daY As wEll..", are always distorted, perhaps as a callback to the Laplace Mail before its breakdown.

Profile

Devil Survivor 2

Tico serves as a male Nicaea Contact should the player choose him.

Septentrione Arc

Tico first appears before the protagonist after the train wreck. He asks if the protagonist wants to live and should they choose yes, he gives the protagonist instructions on how to defeat the demons around him. As the day progresses and more functions of the demon summoning app are unlocked, Tico gives the protagonist brief tutorials on how they work.

At the end of each day, he recaps the events of the day if the protagonist chooses to hear it. As the 6th Day concludes, he also notifies them that Nicaea's death video services are shutting down.

Triangulum Arc

Tico along with his female counterpart first greet the protagonist as he is about to enter the newly-regressed world. If they so desire, both Ticos could give a brief recap of the Septentrione arc plot and the ending assumed by the Triangulum arc before the game begins proper.

On the first day, the protagonist is once again given the option to choose between which Tico serves as their Nicaea contact, and like with the beginning of the Septentrione arc, he asks the protagonist if they want to live and begin using the summoning system once again.

On Friday, after 19:00, if the protagonist has enabled access to their battle, both Ticos welcome the protagonist into their gaming application, where they serve as the collective ultimate boss of the game. Both Ticos are exceptionally strong, and bring to the board a number of severely overleveled demons. Male Tico has higher Strength and is more focused on Phys attacks.

When they are defeated in this bonus battle, both Ticos express their joy at witnessing the party's strength, and are confident that the party can create a bright future for mankind. The protagonist receives the Tico Breaker achievement for defeating them.
