That might be a good pitch for an anniversary game. Nero investigates his parents and looks into what happened 20 years ago.
Ok
The next question would be how he interacts with the cast of DMC...specificalky the agency (Morrison/Patty/lady/trish)

No. Have you ever played DMC 4 Special Edition? Well... Vergil is nero's father.
Look at this:
-_- ... I said that he buys the agency. Dante did not tell anyone about his quinid departure, all of them went to the agency finding Richard in his place. From here we can develop the story with the first encounter between Richard and the other characters.

The initial version of DMC4 didnt explain his origins that clearly. There was a light novel that tied into DMC4 but people didnt trust it.
The extra scene in the special edition raised more questions than answers. So having nero investigate his origins to get a clearer picture makes sense.
Ideas are important but execution is important as well.
I was asking how do you think each character would react to richard as a person?
I'm asking which characters would you like to focus on specifically? You can't give everyone equal focus so you have to prioritize.

The main character are Richard, Nero and Dante.
Mhhh... so... Nero investigates his origins, looking for his parents. During his journey he is called by a voice that leads him to dangerous and distant places where he will have to pass some tests to continue. At the end of this long journey Nero will find out who was calling him, his father, here it turns out that Vergil is really Nero's father. Nero will have to face a last test: beat Vergil. Nero wins but eventually rebels at his father's will, then Vergil attacks Nero again, begins the battle, Nero is in serious trouble but suddenly comes Richard who tells Nero to escape. Here begins another boss fight between Richard and Vergil. Richard was in those ruins looking for some artefacts that would serve him to evoke the demon that killed his parents.
I didn't mean for nero to investigate his origins in your story...I was just talking about a seperate idea for @Dante's Stalker.
Just an input to consider, if you want to make a New character i suggest doing an antagonist one.
DMC already had trish, lucia, lady, Nero, kyrie, patty, and what's his name that old dude i forgot as protagonists..
And look how most of them are presented in the continuity.. Only lady in 3 and patty that worked for me..
Now for me what dmc lacked are good antagonist.. Jester /arkham was the only awesome one imo, for i think vergil is more a antivillain..
Just a suggestion..

I still invented a new part of the story I really enjoy
The antagonists of this story are Vergil and Somnus Aeternam (Somnus is the powerful demon that killed Richard's parents)

Ah, sorry..
You might wanna focus more on somnus then, that's a cool name for a Villain btw..
Thanks. Somnus Aeternam means eternal sleep translated from Latin.

that's cool.
@absolitude
I think maybe playing as a demon from the demonworld would be a interesting perspective. They don't have to be nice but they don't have to be a villian.

you could try writing a fanfic on this idea.
this is just an idea thread so just keep thinking about how would richard interact with the other characters? like what is his interaction with nero like?
I'll rwite a complete Story.
Anyway i invented the style rank.

Could I jump in for a second?
Why would Dante need to be involved here at all? At the end of DMC2, didn't he hit the highway to hell? If Dante is going to be in any game set after DMC2, the focus would have to be on either his journey into hell or his escape from it. Because we need to know why he went and what he did there. So why not just omit Dante's presence at all and rather have him become a phantom character like Sparda, and just have hints/talk of him through the game instead? I mean if the dude's in hell, it means his shop is up for grabs (yes it does, c'mon this is DMC) so maybe Richard gets hired as a private investigator by Morrison to sub for Dante's role, and that is how he gets ahead and dragged into missions? Just an idea as it might make it easier to integrate Richard into the DMC realm that way.
Sorry but i don't like this idea... Richard would be a investigator...? Nah
This is very dangerous, make Dante a Phantom character is not a good idea

It could work because we don't know what leads Dante to be the way he is in DMC2. It possibility he could have met Richard before he went to go help Lucia in Dumary Island.

What do you mean? DMC2 Dante is serious and calm becouse he is mature and maybe a bit "tired" if you know what i mean.
Why should he meet Richard before going to Dumary Island?

People didn't like DMC2 Dante because he wasn't as fun as they remembered him in DMC1. It would have been more accepted if they gave context for the shift.
For example in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within I understand why the Prince acts differently than he does in the first game. Because they tell you how much time has passed (7 years) and what happened to the Prince in that time.
They don't actually do this in DMC2 and that's why fans dislike this take on the character.
I was just following @Dante's Stalker 's suggestion. My idea was for him to go meet Dante because he wants to work with him. Dante turns him away because he's tired of the fight but changes his mind because of reasons.
A few weeks pass and Richard goes to the shop expecting Dante but finds Lucia instead. The plot continues on from there with Richard taking Dante's place in the business because Nero is based in Fortuna and Lady/Trish don't need the store. They prefer to travel around.
It's meant as a compromise between your ideas and @Dante's Stalker 's suggestions.
Cool idea! But why Richard wants to work with Dante? Richard comes from a distant place and according to my idea he does not know who Dante is.
