NetNavi

Derived from the term "Network Navigator," a NetNavi (ネットナビ), or Navi (ナビ Nabi) for short, is a key concept in the MegaMan Battle Network series of video games, developed by Capcom, as well as the MegaMan NT Warrior (Rockman EXE) anime and manga. NetNavis also have a minor role in MegaMan Star Force, a separate series that takes place 200 years in the future of Battle Network.

Purpose and function
A NetNavi is a sentient, or semi-sentient, computer program with artificial intelligence designed to be an assistant for the operator and resides in his or her Personal Terminal, abbreviated as "PET". Specifically, the PET is a multipurpose device that is capable of acting in numerous functions, such as sending and receiving e-mail, acting as an alarm clock and calendar, and acting as a cell phone. Each of these functions is controlled by the NetNavi that resides within the PET under normal circumstances. A PET is, however, also capable of connecting to computerized devices, referred to as "Jacking In" (Plug-In), in which case the NetNavi is transferred to that device and may roam around it, affecting programs contained in that device as required, and moving through that device to any other devices connected to it, such as moving from a specific computer to the larger Internet. In addition, NetNavis may function as anti-virus software, directly combating the offending programs in an activity called "virus busting". Two Navis can also battle one another in "NetBattles," and are designated by the extension ".EXE".

When a NetNavi is defeated in these battles, they are usually logged out to avoid permanent damage, though in MegaMan NT Warrior, MegaMan was completely deleted.

NetNavis are given a unique personality that often reflects upon their operator's personality, and usually develops a strong friendship with their operators. NetNavis can also be used as assistants in their operator's occupation. Malicious users may use their Navi to hack into secure computer networks and commit crimes. Though these NetNavis are not technically viruses, they are treated as such. Functionally, these NetNavis are analogous to the Robot Masters of the original Mega Man series. Indeed, many of the NetNavis in the Battle Network series are similar in name, appearance, and concept to their corresponding classic Robot Masters, although not all Navis have a Robot Master equivalent, or vice-versa. There have been a few NetNavis based on characters from other Mega Man series as well, such as Colonel, Iris and Zero from the X series and Glyde from the Legends series. With the sole exception of Ring.EXE, all navis based on existing characters retains the full name.

NetNavis have the ability to upload Battle Chips for use in battle against viruses or each other. Certain NetNavis have elemental stereotypes that define their fighting styles and techniques.

Main NetNavis
The Battle Network series revolves around several main NetNavis that act as protagonists, as well as a group of NetNavi villains. All of them debuted in the first game.


 * MegaMan / Rockman (ロックマン Rokkuman) – Operated by Lan Hikari (Netto Hikari), MegaMan is the main Navi of the series. Originally Lan's twin brother Hub (Saito), he died at a young age due to a rare disease known as "HBD", but his personality was saved by their father, who was at the time working on a project to combine NetNavi programming with human DNA. This information was long withheld from Lan until MegaMan was fatally wounded by MagicMan in the first game. Subsequently, in order to save MegaMan, Lan installed a Hub.BAT file that brought the former’s programming into complete sync with Lan’s DNA (it had previously deviated by a small percentage in order to protect the two). Lan has been known to use both the names "Hub" and "MegaMan" to address his Navi.


 * Roll (ロール Rōru) - Operated by Mayl Sakurai (Meiru Sakurai), Roll is the main female NetNavi of the series, and serves as MegaMan's love interest. While not as experienced in battle as MegaMan, Roll is often able to hold her own, and proves to be a valuable ally throughout the series.


 * GutsMan (ガッツマン Gattsuman) - Operated by Dex Oyama (Dekao Oyama), GutsMan is a large and strong Navi who believes that he and his operator are the greatest NetBattlers there are (they continously fail, though).


 * Glyde/Glide (グライド Guraido) - Operated by Yai Ayanokoji (Yaito Ayanokouji), Glyde is a cyber-butler armed with rare and powerful chips to help defend himself. He is based on Glyde of the Mega Man Legends series. Renamed Glide in the English anime and manga MegaMan NT Warrior, and from MegaMan Battle Network 4 onward to match with the anime name.


 * NumberMan (ナンバーマン Nanbāman / 日本語 Kisoman) - Operated by Higsby (Yamitaro Higure), NumberMan was originally a Navi in the criminal organization known as WWW, but, like his operator, turned over a new leaf due to MegaMan and Lan's influence. Afterwards, he is effectively the mascot for Higsby's Battle Chip shop, where the player can purchase chips or use the Number Trader he opperates to trade chips for new ones and enter lottery numbers to get valuable chips. He later joins Team Colonel in order to gain self-confidence.


 * ProtoMan / Blues (ブルース Burūsu) - Operated by Eugene Chaud (Ijuin Enzan), he and his operator are Official NetBattlers. They are considered to be MegaMan's and Lan's rivals, often working towards the same general goal but in substantially different manners. Curiously, it is Chaud, and not ProtoMan, that shares the personality of the original series' Proto Man.


 * Bass / Forte (フォルテ Forute) - Intended to be the first fully autonomous NetNavi, fully independent of an operator, Bass was falsely blamed for causing massive problems in Alpha, the original internet, and was nearly killed by the SciLab Elite Corps. Because of this, Bass has hated humankind ever since. At one point, Sean Obihiro (Shun Obihiro) of Gospel attempted to make a clone army of Bass copies, eventually leading to the accidental creation of the Gospel Megavirus.
