@Fourze Moving at light speed for a few seconds might be a tad overpowered to start with, yes. Maybe really, really far down the road it could unlock Clock Up. I'd go for the Masked Form defense boost personally.
@Burning Kitty Skills and Abilities is for your mundane skills and junk, yes. As for the custom legendary Gashat... I'm going to have to say no to that. I stuck in Gururu Monsters because it was something from fake leaks we got during the early parts of Ex-Aid, and I thought if I was skinning this as an MMO to start there needed to be a beastmaster class.
@Jerkchicken Again, going to say no on players making custom gashats for now.
@clanjos This could be interesting, does it matter if I don't really know anything about Kamen Rider?
The most important facts about the series are that it's a bunch of karate bugmen fighting a bunch of rubber suit monsters for the fate of humanity and that you need to be good at kicking things.
You already know I'm in! Just need time to get my stuff together for Taddle and Giri-Giri-Chanbara!
Kamen Rider Chronicle! The Genm Corporation's magnum opus, a MMO with the most immersive AR of all time. While the Genm Corporation was going through dire financial times due to their connection to the Bugster epidemic, some mysterious investors bailed out the company with one condition- the rights to publish and maintain their own Kamen Rider Chronicle servers. Seeing nothing wrong, then-president Ren Amagasaki accepted their offer, conditional with his termination as president of Genm Co. Now, with Ren's disappearance, the servers are open- with a number of changes! With the addition of the leveling system, Ride Players are able to assume new forms to fight more powerful bosses based on the urban legend of the Kamen Riders! Whether it's the mysterious heroes themselves, or the creatures it's rumored they fought, Kamen Rider Chronicle can use the Bugster System to let you recreate the legendary battles using one of five basic classes based on the Genm Corporation's hit games!
Mighty Action X- A platforming action game, where the hero Mighty gets points by eating everything in sight! Use your platforming skill to defeat Count Salty! This Gashat will make you faster and more agile! Taddle Quest- A turn-based RPG, and one of Genm Co.'s most beloved franchises! Wield sword and sorcery to defeat the dark wizard Aranbura and rescue the princess! This Gashat can turn you into a master swordsman, or imbue your weapons with the power of fire and ice! Bang Bang Shooting- A long-awaited FPS that sat in development hell for a decade! As a one-man army, defeat the mechanical mercenaries of Commander Revol! This Gashat will put your senses to the next level, letting you make impossible shots! Bakusou Bike- A fast-paced racing game where anything goes! Race against the speed-obsessed Motors and his gang of biker cyborgs! This Gashat is focused on one thing- pure, blazing speed using its included motorcycle! Don't worry- we fixed the bug that caused users to spawn as the bike! Gururu Monsters- A monster battling game produced by Golgex, it's a hit among kids and adults alike! Gather and befriend monsters, from the Invess and Worms to the mighty Mirror Monsters, and overcome your rival to become a monster-battling champion! This Gashat allows you to tame certain monsters and lead them into battle- but it's not quite as powerful as others on its own!
From there, you can unlock new Gashats by leveling up, defeating Bugsters, defeating wandering Rider bosses, and even other players! With Kamen Rider Chronicle- anyone can become a hero! --- Right, so the gist of it is: We're taking the Fourze approach to the Riders. They're urban legends, fighting monsters that are also urban legends and/or conspiracy theories. A video game company called Golgex has remastered Kamen Rider Chronicle into a video game about the Riders, and is making it a proper MMO. Whatever your character's reason for playing, you might find yourself dragged into a dark, ominous plot by long-gone foes of the Riders.
Each Gashat comes with short little jingles when used to transform. The starting ones can be found here- except Gururu Monsters, which was added to give the game a Beastmaster class. That one goes "You're my best friend! Let's catch 'em all! Go, go, Gururu Monsters!". Of course, the jingle- and overall appearance of a Rider Form- can be altered by cosmetic items you can purchase from an in-game store. Usually it's just color palettes, but some Gashats might behave differently depending on the cosmetics you have equipped- Taddle Fantasy vs. Taddle Legacy for example.
Name: Everyone needs a name. Rider Name: Kamen Rider (What's your in-game username?) Age: Self-explanatory Sex: Self-explanatory Starting Gashat: One of the five starting Gashats listed in the OP, please. Skills and Abilities: Abilities from your character as a person. And your rider powers. Additional Gashats: Bear in mind, as a fresh release, at best you're either going to have a Level 3 Gashat or a Level 2 Legend Rider Gashat. Appearance: Picture or description will be fine, don't have a preference for real vs. anime. Personality: Always a pain, so feel free to omit this. Background: Just a brief bit about your character's past. Any reason they just had to pick up Kamen Rider Chronicle?

Battle through ten opponents to defeat Gatton and claim the trophy! The Robots Gamer will give you heightened defenses- and a mean rocket punch!

From there, you can unlock new Gashats by leveling up, defeating Bugsters, wandering Rider bosses, and even other players! With Kamen Rider Chronicle- anyone can become a hero! --- So yeah- Rider game, which means there's at least one evil organization in the shadows pulling the strings. Players become karate bugmen or video game spandexmen to fight recrations of various monsters or Riders, level up, and maybe discover the dark secret of the Kamen Rider Chronicle rerelease.
It was incredible. Actual, real warmth from the sun. Having stayed in Winterhold so long, Burns had almost forgotten what this felt like. He had spent the afternoon happily napping on a stone, looking more like a desert lizard than a marsh-walker. But his nap was cut short by the bleating of Goatfrey. The large goat had some sort of red fruit in its mouth, looking rather upset. Burns sighed and rolled over, careful to avoid his armor- which had been sitting in the sun all during his nap. He took the fruit and looked it over, feeling the needles... well, try to pierce his scaly hide. He shook his head.
"Goatfrey, what have I told you about eating strange plants? Don't you remember what happened with those mushrooms?"
"Blaaaaahaaaaaah."
"Honestly..." The Argonian grumbled, looking at his armor and sighing. He really needed to learn a Resist Fire spell. Hist knew that he flung it enough that there had been... incidents. Anyway, he was supposed to do... something or other. It'd probably come back to him in time. For now, though, he enjoyed the warm stone against his back and the companionship of a goat with cactus needles caught in his beard.
Name: Korja, AKA Burns-His-Foes Race: Argonian Gender: Male Appearance: A bright red-skinned Argonian with a head rather reminiscent of an iguana- though he has a pair of large, curled horns he gets from his mother's side of the family. He's quite stocky, which thankfully makes spending most of his day in his heavily singed steel armor more bearable. Personality: There is a stereotype of a mad wizard. Cackling, bellowing, using his powers to subvert or destroy others for personal gain. Well, two out of three isn't bad- Burns is one of the few Argonians who have learned to express joy by laughter. Of course, he's also the kind of guy who really likes fire spells- hence his name. He believes that any problem can be solved with a sufficiently large explosion. Actually a pretty mellow guy when he's not in the zone. Birthsign: The Mage Skills: Destruction, Heavy Armor, Enchanting, Hand-To-Hand, Mysticism Equipment: Steel Armor Brief History: An Argonian born in Black Marsh, his talents for Destruction magic were apparent at a young age. The closest options for magic tuition were the Arcane University in the Imperial City- in the middle of political turmoil as always- or the Mage's Guild of Morrowind- the homeland of the Argonians' most ancient enemy, the Dunmer. So, messages were sent to Burns's uncle, the owner of a fishing trawler in Skyrim, who passed them along to the College of Winterhold. It was quite unusual, but anyone who could cast Enemies Explode by 18 would be an asset to the College. So Burns was sent to the frozen north to receive academic instruction in the arcane arts- though, as ever, he displayed an affinity for Destruction above all other skills. He took in a goat he found on the mountainside, kept to his studies, avoided making remarks about dunmer or altmer students (usually), and spent plenty of time at the tavern. Oh, also, he met the empereror. After a night of drinking following a successful test of the spellmaking altar he'd ordered from the Imperial City, he staggered back to the college, hearing that- as he had repeatedly told everyone- Ancano was a Thalmor spy. Well, he did what he could to help, settling for bombarding the barrier with low-end destruction spells to try and whittle down Ancano's power. Well, for all the good it did, that mess was cleared up by the emperor.
Burns has spent the past ten years continuing his studies in Winterhold, hoping to make a grand breakthrough in spellmaking- though with a former archmage's letter, now bearing the imperial seal, he- and his goat- have been called back into action.
