NetNavi Headcanons
Just some things that I think about.
-Navis need sleep. Since they're so complex, they accumulate a lot of cache data throughout the day. Sleeping clears their system of the cache, and refreshes all their systems so they're at top-condition when they wake up.
-There are generic Navis and custom Navis. Generic Navis can have custom personality programming, but their appearance is much harder to customize, like Mick's NetNavi in MMBN6.
-NetNavis are programmed to mimic human-like behaviours, as they're meant to be friends and companions. That means breathing, making jokes, and being pushy at times. (Megaman is especially pushy though, even for a highly-customized Navi.)
-There are a variety of accessories out there for NetNavis, since Operators may want to dress them up or give them something to stand out, the same way somebody may dress up a virtual pet.
-PETs can also be customized with furniture. Same concept as having a virtual pet. You want to buy things and add things to make your own cooler.
-Megaman is a nerd. He reads everything and anything when Lan is off talking to his friends or travelling somewhere. He has all kinds of virtual books that he buys for himself or friends and family give him as gifts. How else do you explain him knowing everything without looking it up when Lan asks him a question?
-Megaman also has a Battle Chip addiction. Lan likes collecting them, and he gets excited when he does, but for him, it's like trading cards. For Megaman, it's a toy. A toy that could potentially wipe out an entire horde of viruses, but it's still a toy, and he begs Lan to get new ones. (There's an in-game HumorProgram quote where he does this.)
-Navis treat their job as a real job. It's an intense job, but they love it an take it seriously. Some take it too seriously. Also, NetNavis can just run off if they start getting too annoyed with their Operator. Sure their Operator can find them with the PET and potentially force-recall them to it, but the Navi can still rebel.
-Gossiping about their Operators is a normal behaviour. It's just like talking about your siblings, friends and co-workers.
