Foundation X, the Merchants of Death, have set their sights on something within Tokyo. A group of the Foundation's operatives have set themselves up somewhere in the city, in search of a hidden entrance to the headquarters of a group allegedly based in the area codenamed "Organisation Y". The Foundation has taken a strong interest in this organisation's work, believing that the technology being created there could greatly assist with their goals. However, while finding an entrance and infiltrating "Organisation Y"'s headquarters is their final goal, there is something else the Foundation's operatives are to do...

Wreak havoc in the name of SCIENCE! Equipped with assorted powers and gear the Foundation has acquired through their studies into Core Medals, Cosmic Energy, Gaia Memories and who knows what else, they are causing chaos and destruction throughout the area. This is in part to try to coax out a reaction from their target, but also to field test improvements made to some old acquisitions. Of course, this is something the leader of this expedition has charged them with, rather than an order from the Foundation itself.

While Tokyo is not without its own Riders, the Foundation expedition seems to have little respect for the way most villains do battle. Routinely sending out multiple monsters to multiple locations. As a result, the city's defenders have found themselves stretched to breaking point and the city is suffering heavily from it.

---

Throughout Japan, Kamen Riders have received letters requesting their assistance in dealing with these attacks. The messages have no details about who the sender is, simply requesting the Riders' presence in Tokyo, accompanied by photographs of monsters that specific Rider had defeated, once again alive and well in Tokyo.

While some declined the invitation for a number of different reasons, others headed to Tokyo, ready to do battle with the Foundation operatives. Some of the Riders answering the call to arms are happy to simply protect the citizens, defeat the villains and return to their homes, others intend on tracking down the mysterious source of the letters or at the very least, learning why these monsters were back and what exactly they were after in Tokyo.

---

So, long story short, monsters are wrecking Tokyo, Riders are called in to help, awesomeness, hilarity and/or cheesiness ensues. Anyone interested?

As far as character creation goes, canon characters and original characters (with either canon or original power sets) are allowed. However, for the sake of balance, Kabuto Riders won't be able to use Clock Up and canon Riders won't have access to their super modes from the start.

Villain characters are allowed and in fact, encouraged, just try to keep the power levels reasonable for what they are. Also, while I'm fine with evil Rider characters, they should not make up the majority of the evil forces.

Backstory:

Totally interested! Just need to figure out what Rider powers I'm using, although I'm most likely just going to stuff an OC into a canon suit. ^^;

Interested.

Would we be able to make relatively new Riders? Rookies are an interesting character type to write.

Um, do very much have an idea for this, eh-heh.

Rookies would be fine.

Name: Tachibana Snow, Kamen Rider Vortex
Age: 16
Appearance: "... This hat suits me."
Abilities:
Rider Powers:
Personality: Snow is a very quiet girl. She speaks very little, usually only when directly spoken to by another person. She is really rather shy, sometimes not even willing to talk if someone is too loud or forceful and she doesn't know them well. For this reason she carries a notepad with her that she can write responses on. Snow also usually appears rather emotionless, but it's more that she just doesn't display her emotions very clearly. Instead, she always seems to talk in a monotone with a very neutral expression. There are some things that can scare or surprise her, but it takes a lot for her to show it properly. Snow also adores gothic lolita fashion. Her entire wardrobe, outside of school uniforms, is composed of such clothing.
Backstory:

Um, WIP.

I'm no Kamen Rider expert, but I want in. This'l be fun.
And I'm pretty sure my Kamen Rider Expert buddy would like to be in too.

Oh right, putting a claim on Diend before anyone tries to take it. >.> <.<

Oh! Quick question, I wanted to be a Character in an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft, up in the sky. Relaying information to the Riders on the ground, may I have this?

Hmm...I'm not sure how well that would work to be honest. Although I might just be misinterpreting what you mean. Could you please elaborate?

A lot of it would just be dialogue on my end. Plot wise, I was thinking that since Tokyo is under large scale attack, Japan would want to do whatever they could to help the Riders. The only way the JSDF can do this without getting in the way is relaying information to the Riders, like enemy numbers, where they're attacking, if the building they're on is structurally unsound, that sort of thing.
My character would be the operator of that AWACs plane.

EDIT: My character will be a Rider, and will join the fight on the ground, later on in the RP.

Name: Luke "Crash", aka Armored Rider Crit

Age: 17

Appearance: Human Appearance, His Rider Form always has a cowboy motif to it, so you'll see that the front of his helmet that's molded into the shape of a cowboy hat, as well as several white tassels on his arms. As per Gaim Riders, he doesn't have much features, leaving all that for the Arms. Aside from the aforementioned tassels, his suit is also white.

Abilities: Not really any special abilities.

Rider Powers: Luke has a Sengoku Driver. He also has about nine Lockseeds, each of them having the potential to be utilized in the Sengoku Driver. They could also be used to summon Invess, though only into a holographic wrestling ring. If he was to drop or otherwise let go of his Lock Seed in the midst of battle, the Invess would lose control and break out of the ring. The nine Lockseeds are split into three sets.

• Himawari Arms: Luke's main Lock Seed. It grants him the Himawari Bullet, a revolver-like gun that he can use to shoot sunflower seed like bullets at people. His finisher is the Himawari Smash, in which he shoots a sunflower seed at someone, it grows into a drill, and thus prompts him to preform a Rider Kick.


• Matsubokkuri Arms: Using this Lock Seed grants him the Kagematsu, a spear style weapon for him to slash. His finisher is the Ichigeki Break, where he jumps and charges with his Kagematsu, forming a giant energy pinecone on the tip to stab the opponent with.


• Kurumi Arms: Using this Lock Seed grants him the Kurumi Gauntlets, powerful gauntlets for him to punch with. His finisher is the Breakurumi Punch, a powerful Rider Punch.

Rider Machine: He has a Rose Attacker.

Personality: Luke enjoys battles, provided they're not to the death. Often he'll sit by and watch other people fight, not being a fan of joining in the battle and siding with one person. He doesn't appreciate cheating, but it's far from his Berserk Button. Unlike the other people in the Critical Dancers, Luke wasn't upbeat or energetic. He was quite the opposite. He was silent, always calculating some strategy for his next Invess/Rider battle and he doesn't really have that youthful spirit that the others had.

Backstory: Contrary to the other Armored Riders, Luke was not in Zawame City, but rather a neighboring city that was absorbed in the Beat Rider craze. As such, he was part of the Beat Rider team known as the Critical Dancers. However, Luke never liked dancing. He always had two left feet. No, his interest was in the Invess battles, in which one utilizes Lock Seeds to summon monsters from another world and have them fight. He liked this enough to buy three Lock Seeds from his local Lock Dealer. However, there wasn't enough focus on the Invess games than in Zawame City (though that could be because of Yggdrasil wanting to contain them inside Zawame City), and thus Luke was not able to find a decent challenge. That's when he moved to Zawame City. By that time, the Armored Rider craze began, so he only managed to pick fights with the lesser Beat Riders while the higher ranked ones fought each other. Even when he would lose, Luke would have fun partaking in the games. As soon as the Invess began to attack people and the blame on placed on the Beat Riders, he was approached by a girl who proposed him to stop with the Games. Distraught with the loss of his favorite hobby, he departed back to his hometown. He wanted to see his Lock Dealer again, but he mysteriously disappeared and in his place was a strange driver with a knife on it and a new Lockseed that eventually became the Rose Attacker. A note on the belt said "To my most favorite customer. You always did have an interest for intense battles... This shall make them even more intense. Take it, it's free." And taken it he did. He placed the driver on his waist and with that, it bonded with him and created someone that the DJ in his town would call Armored Rider Crit. However, conflicts with the Beat Riders spread to his town, though since Luke was one of the few who managed to use Lockseeds in that town, he was kicked out of both the Critical Dancers and his home town. Realizing that he became an Armored Rider like the ones in Zawame City, he sets off and searches for battles to be had.

Name: Wade Gibbs/Grandis
Age: 27
Appearance:
Abilities: As Grandis he has superhuman strength and speed. His carapace also makes him a lot tougher then humans. He can use the claws on his left arm to easily crush rocks, while the nails on his right hand can cut steel
Combat Forms:
Personality: Due to the brainwashing he is absolutely terrified of his Foundation X superiors and obeys their every order, at the same time he is condescending to anyone he sees as inferior. He is a cunning fighter who isn't above using dirty ticks. When facing a weaker or injured opponent he prefers to play with them before finishing them of.
Backstory: Wade was kidnapped by Foundation X as a child to be used as a guinea pig. He eventually befriended some of the other abducted kids. Most of whom didn't survive the experiments. After fifteen years of brainwashing and inhuman experimentation he gained the ability to transform into a monstrous creature dubbed Grandis, at which point his combat training began. Said training consisted of fighting other creations of the Foundation scientists to the death.

Name: Tachibana Snow, Kamen Rider Vortex
Age: 16
Appearance: "... This hat suits me."
Abilities: Snow's abilities are everything that comes with being a small, quiet girl. At least apparently.
Rider Powers: Snow uses the Winter Driver to become Kamen Rider Vortex. The Winter Driver is a icy-looking belt with a dial and a blue themometer one it. When the dial is turned to either a picture of a snowflake or a picture of a hailstone, this initiates Snow's transformation.
Snow Front is equipped with a bladed shovel-like weapon, which produces a trail of razor-sharp ice crystals as it is moved. Snow Front also has an extremely cold temperature, Winter Driver being the coldest part of the suit in this form. While it's not cold enough to freeze anything quickly unless it's water, it is cold enough to cause an burning sensation to the things that touch it without protection. Snow Front's finisher is Snow Break, which fires a burst of snow from the shovel-like weapon at the enemy, before Vortex uses her weapon to knock them into the air and deliver a flying kick.
Hail Front WIP
Personality: Snow is a very quiet girl. She speaks very little, usually only when directly spoken to by another person. She is really rather shy, sometimes not even willing to talk if someone is too loud or forceful and she doesn't know them well. For this reason she carries a notepad with her that she can write responses on. Snow also usually appears rather emotionless, but it's more that she just doesn't display her emotions very clearly. Instead, she always seems to talk in a monotone with a very neutral expression. There are some things that can scare or surprise her, but it takes a lot for her to show it properly. Snow also adores gothic lolita fashion. Her entire wardrobe, outside of school uniforms, is composed of such clothing. She is also very protective of her necklace.
Backstory:

Did a little work. ^^;

Ignore the Diend claim, I had a silly idea.

• Name: Reiko Ogawa
• Age: 19
• Appearance: "Oh, right, uh, passing through Kamen Rider. Remember that. Totally important, um, yeah." As Kamen Rider Decade NEO, she looks like a cheap, shoddy recolour.
• Abilities: She's a pretty good photographer, and is currently studying to be a photojournalist. Other than that... She makes a mean bowl of ramen, I guess?
• Rider Powers: Reiko is equipped with the Bootleg Decadriver, an imitation of the real thing made by Foundation X which allows her to transform into Kamen Rider Decade NEO. Decade NEO's powers are almost functionally identical to the original Decades, only instead of primary Riders it uses secondary Riders. To begin with, the only Kamen Ride Cards Reiko has are Decade NEO, Accel, Birth and Meteor. Naturally, she also comes with a set of Attack Ride, Final Attack Ride and Final Form Ride cards, and a Ride Booker to both keep her cards in and use as a weapon.

• Rider Machine: Decade NEO does not have a bike, instead using Accel's bike mode whenever she would need one. In civilian form, Reiko travels about on a beat-up old Vespa.
• Personality: Despite being a transforming superhero, something that most people would think is pretty cool, Reiko is eternally, perpetually bored. She is seemingly non-plussed by anything. the most reaction you can really hope to get from her being dull surprise. She still fights for justice and to save the innocent and all that good stuff, but it's a little concerning that her belt seems far more enthusiastic than she is. She's rather fond of photography, even if like most other things she seems incredibly unenthusiastic about it.
• Backstory: Rather... Uneventful for a Rider, honestly. Before she got the Bootleg Decadriver, she was just your average college student, nothing special about her at all. Somehow, through a trick of fate, her mail was mixed up with that of an employee of Foundation X one day, leading her to receive the Bootleg Decadriver in place of them. Ever since then... Well, she's been a little exasperated by the amount of monsters she has to fight on a weekly basis. It's annoying, really, all she wants to do is not fail her assignments, and they keep showing up to bother her. At least it leads to some good photo opportunites...

I know it's got chunks missing, but...

Name: Nadeshiko Misaki / Kamen Rider Nadeshiko
Age: 17
Appearance: Suit, Regular
Abilities:
Rider Powers: In theory, Nadeshiko can use any of the Circle or Square Astroswitches, although at the start of the RP she only has access to the Rocket, Radar, Parachute, and Elek switches.
Rider Machine: I know it’s non canon, but… Machine Cosmic Chaser
Personality: Nadeshiko is curious and just a little bit bubbly, although this is only a recent development. At one point, she was a complete blank slate, limited simply to staring at things and repeating what was said to her.
Backstory: This is where things get complex. You see, this isn’t the “original” Nadeshiko Misaki. Instead, she’s a lump of an alien slime referred to as “Seeds Of Life from the Universe”, or SOLU for short. She came to Earth inside of a meteorite, took on the form of a real person, and the rest? Well, that’s history…

[list]

Name: Waldo Mull

Age: 25

Appearance: Oh lord this part. Normally, a 25-year old man of eastern European descent with brown hair, green eyes, and old clothes people bring into his pawn shop in the Bronx. Transformed.

Abilities: Out of costume, he can tell you the precise cash value of seemingly random things, a skill cultivated by owning a pawn shop that's been in his family for quite some time.

Rider Powers: This covers different forms your character might have, as well as things like Core Medals, Astroswitches and Wizard Rings.

The Advent Deck, a collection of cards which allows him to transform by holding it to a mirror and shouting "Kamen Rider."

Junk Visor, a wrist-mounted device which allows him to use his Advent Deck.

Rider Machine: A two-tone (half red, half silver) Honda Z in something resembling working condition. He has a Rider Machine, but thinks it looks stupid.
[*]Personality: Thoroughly jaded by crazy people up and down the streets of his neighborhood, he's heard conspiracy theories about everything from men in fancy suits fighting aliens to a prince from another world with a talking motorcycle fighting an alien army on earth. Frankly, it takes a lot to get him to believe in the supernatural. While he loves money, he's not the kind of guy to get into illegal activities, and generally tries to do right by others. However, he's also a tightwad, preferring to use things from his shop rather than going out to buy them.

Backstory: The great-grandson of a Transylvanian couple who Immigrated to the US in the 1900's, Waldo inherited a pawn shop in New York from his father. He's been running it for a few years now, so he's used to having a lot of useless junk coming in and out of the shop. When a man came into the shop carrying a strange box, acting rather terrified, and asking what he could get for it and the cards inside, Waldo merely shrugged and gave the man ten bucks for it. Taking the money and thanking him, the man ran out of the store giggling with glee. As he placed it on the shelf behind the counter, however, the mirror- which he used to keep an eye on customers while retrieving things from the shelf- began to ripple. Confused, he poked it, and fell through into another world, where he was forced into strange armor and attacked by what seemed to be a giant anthropomorphic cockroach. Grabbing the nearest thing he could (a card from the box) and holding it up in an effort to fight the roach in the strange imitation of his store, the roach was sucked in and left its image on the card along with the word "DOCKROACH." Since then, he's received numerous crank calls about monsters popping out of the mirror, disappearances in California, and job offers from the same guy claiming to fill a hundred different occupations offering a thousand different things. He mostly ignores them, using the deck to fight off thieves in the neighborhood and avoid traffic and bus fare by traveling in the world behind the mirrors, while experimenting with the deck's power- so far he's figured out that he can combine Dock Roach with a gun, motorcycle engine, and riot shield.

However, the most recent of these job requests came with an address. An address where he believes he will be able to track down and beat the crap out of the crank caller. So what if it's in Japan, he'll just go through the mirrors. It's payback time.

[/list]

Monster:

Name: Dockroach
Age: ?
Appearance: Dock Roach takes the form of a four-foot tall bipedal cockroach, with spines coming out the back of its legs and arms, and dangling antennae. Each of its forms alters its appearance and abilities.
Abilities: Dockroach is Waldo's Mirror Monster, enabling him to transform into Endure. However, Dockroach itself is fairly weak, but grants an endless supply of Contract cards and Unite Vents, part of its true power- absorbing objects to assume new forms.
Combat Forms: Glockroach (fingers replaced by guns, antennae move over its face to form a crosshair), Blockroach (large, bulky, with thick chitin plates), and Machroach (antennae, hairs, and spines on its body replaced by exhaust pipes).
Personality & Bacstory: I'm a bit shaky on Mirror Monsters and sentience.

Sorry I took so long to respond, ehe. Now then...

@Skyrte: Hmm, I'm honestly not sure there'd be much for someone like that to do. I mean, generally, unless there are a LOT of players, it's going to be maybe 2-3 monsters in 2-3 places. So, it's not like it's an army or anything. Also, I'm not sure how they'd get in contact with the Riders anyway, since regardless of how often they seem to transform in the middle of a crowded area, Riders' civilian identities seem to be at least somewhat secret.

@Psyga: Looks good to me. Accepted.

@Venchi: I'm not sure about the picture you've got for his appearance, since it doesn't really say much about anything other than his face. Also, the first picture for his combat forms doesn't seem to have embedded properly. And, while I'm fine with one or two monsters that are based on things from other franchises, I'd prefer if the RP stayed mostly Kamen Rider based.

@Vita: Looks good so far.

@Rin: Accepted.

@Lost Cause: Looks good so far.

@Clanjos: Formatting clusterf*** aside, looks good. Accepted.

I can figure stuff out, I've got some pretty lengthy classes, and I only post at night anyways. My guy can contact the Riders by going on the radio and basically broadcasting the position of the badguy over public communications, letting everyone know. Well, the people who are tuned in.

@ Tachi I have edited my character sheet
@ clanjos Nice reference to the American masked rider
