Red Ring Rico. What character class was she?
HUmarl. She was Human, and a hunter. Couldn't be classified any other way.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
umm, well like Flowen, she wasn't exactly in any class, its kinda funny though, she looks almost like a cross between a humarl (which isn't even a char class) and maybe a ramarl, or something of that sort, kinda like how Elly looks almost like a hunewearl, but she acts more like a fonewearl, and flowen I would say is almost like an early version of a humar
She wasn't one really.
Her father is human (obviously due to the lack of pointy ears, dissolving any chance of her being a newman... or an android for that matter.)
They also talk about how Rico was courageous and powerful, and they never talk about her being all magicy. So, that leads us to think that she is a Hunter. But, there is no Female Hunter class ----> HUmarl.
I cannot see Rico as a force, due to the fact that also everyone says she was a great Hunter (yet Hunter can apply to HU, RA and FO but you get my point) so Rico is one of those character classes that doesn't exist, yet she does. Or something.
Kinda like that HUnewearl that has the rifle equipped in some quest. No person could get their HUnewearl to equip the rifle but the game certainly was able to do so!
You can know she is a HUnter just by looking at her weapons
-Red Saber
-Red Handgun
-Red Mechguns
-Red Daggers
-Red Partisan
-Red Sword
No "Red cane" or "Red rifle" or "Red insert-name-of-FO-or-RA-weapon-here".
She is obviously a HUnter.
I suppose next we'll be discussing what class Delta is supposed to be? *raises an eyebrow*
RRR: Presumably a HUmarl. Just because it doesn't exist in the game, does not mean it would not exist in PSO. Are we to assume that there were no FOmars, RAmarls and HUcaseals on P2 before Ep2? No, they existed, we just didn't see them because they weren't programmed into the game. This presumably also means that there are HUnewms. We just don't see them at all, either as PCs or NPCs.
Flowen: Er, he was in the military, a group which seems to have nothing but contempt for Hunters for the most part. If he was a class, he'd be a HUmar, but he can't really be classified as a Hunter...
Elly Person: She's a civilian. *shrug* Same thing with Nol Rinale. Civilian. Not any class, because they're not Hunters. Elly dresses like a FOnewearl in Ep1, although whether she actually is one is doubtful, considering that she uses no techs and fights with the Useless Not-really-a-Hunter Weapon of Choice: A Handgun-type. Most likely it was the same reason Nol appears as a HUnewearl in Ep1 - A disguise.
PSUJP: Nai Calus, M. B. 176 FI 20 | Elly, F. N. 42 FT 5 Requiescat in pace.

dude, i think what RFB meant was that there was no:
red shot
red rifle
red wand
red rod
red launcher etc
all the red weapons seem geared toward the HU class.
and flowen a HUnewm? does he have big pointy ears?
and anyway, as ian-kun said, flowen was in the military, and the military detest hunters, so its unlikely hes any kind of hunter.
geez, whats next? what character class is principal tyrell??????????
[/sarcasm]
Actually Elly will whip out the Barta if you watch her close enough in Seat of the Heart!

I think the problem of confusion here is the mix of PSO story and gameplay stuff.
The Hunters are just mercenaries. If someone isn't a mercenary, instead a civilian, militar, scientist or whatever he isn't a Hunter.
The question here is if one of that persons became hunter which class would be?
Following PSO background the biggest difference is race. Androids, Humans and Newmans. Androids can be specialists in melee or ranged combat. Humans can develop the 3 types, melee, ranged and magic. And Newmans the best class in magic can be specialist in melee and magic.
And decide one type is something gameplay related. Sonic Team wanted to focus on 3 very different professions with determined abilities and this isn't easily explained as a story thingie because is a decision about gameplay.
A nice example is Flowen, Donoph and Zoke. 3 friends that were theorically the same, brave fighters. But Zoke is a RAmar and the other 2 HUmars. What made them different? Just the decision of Sonic Team to fit them on a class.
Or Calus... the scientist was he really a FOmar with developed magic skills? I think he was just a scientist and in order to make it appear in the game, ST gave him a FOmar class outfit.
And Mome the scientist! he gets a RAmar outfit for go down to Ragol.
All this is what Ian-KunX already said.
Is like some NPCs wearing weapons they couldnt equip, probably they are bad in their professions that's why they can. Thinking as it was real world one doesnt decide I'll be ranger and master the ranger weapons and forgot to use hunter weapons instantly.
But in order to play the class must be determined and fixed.
So answering the question...
Red Ring Rico is the daughter of an important politician that has hunter and scientist knowledges. That is story-wise. Then in the game she has a HUmarl look since is a human girl and being had Flowen the HUmar as mentor and received hunter weapons.
Flowen was brave hunter that decided to be military. And for the weapons he made to Rico and the flowen's swords he was specialist in melee combat. So Human male specialist in melee is HUmar. But he has its own look and outfit.
