History Roleplay / KamenRiderHourOfTheVoid

The year is [[YearX hilariously obscured by Xs]], but undeniably in the future beyond the last Great Rider War. Mysterious phenomena signal the macabre encroachment of the [[TheHiddenHour Hour of the Void]], a time of night where [[EldritchAbomination hellish monstrosities]] join the usual Rider adversaries of unruly kaijin and rogue belts. To counter the threat, a MegaCorp forged from the ashes of [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto ZECT]] and [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Smart Brain]] has pooled its Rider Gears for use by the [[FunWithAcronyms Shocker Elimination and Execution Squad]], operating out of Gekkoukan High on Iwatodai. The ragtag band of students tapped to staff SEES, however, gets far more than they bargained for in the form of personality conflicts, interference by outside forces, and the occasional downright humiliation in-battle.

* {{Artificial Human}}s and HalfHumanHybrids: Tachibana/SEES employs, at last count, two each of (moderately) sedate [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Orphenochs]] and [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Fangires]]. [[spoiler:Not to mention Sae being a proper Showa cyborg and Tomoe somehow harboring [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga N Daguva Zeba]] for a time.]]

* NinjaMaid: There sure are a lot of {{meido}} enthusiasts among SEES, from Sacchin adopting it as her uniform of choice to Sae and Kaoru's fixation on the culture...and even Faruko taking on MaidCafe service part-time as decorum TrainingFromHell. (To say nothing of [[spoiler:Sacchin ascending to Maid King ([[InsistentTerminology yes, King]]) by defeating a [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Maid Kaixa attended by Maid Deltas]]]].)

* FoeYay: Between Yuriko and Evil!Jin; Chiyoko and anyone in SEES; and a WillTheyOrWontThey variant between Wyll and Faruko.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have White Hair]]: Though anime hair colors have their place, a distressing concentration of albino locks leads the pack - Asuka, Wyll, Haruka, and Phoenix by now being the most prominent examples.
** And Yuriko dyes her hair to a silver-white shade.

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld

* OffTheShelfFX: WordOfGod and Player alike is that to offset the budget imbalance of [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Kivat]] and [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Kivaara]] waffling between this and ConspicuousCG, the former is all-CG while the latter is all-toy-on-a-string.

* ForeignFanservice: The campaign's preferred brand of PhenotypeStereotype.

* FoeTossingCharge and UnstoppableRage: Invoked by Yuriko when Evil!Jin rescues Kuma mid-FaceHeelTurn, prompting her to [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome effortlessly throw Hyper Kabuto, Ultimate Kuuga, and Hibiki Armed aside like ragdolls]], only to be [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown nearly killed in a single shot by Black Decade Complete.]]

* HamToHamCombat: The Time Trippin' Wedding. Good GOD. Over a month of side-plot railroading, meta tension, and at least one [[CreatorBreakdown player breakdown]] ensued upon the debut of Dark Kiva, and the entire B-Plot team finally (albeit over the course of a week) managed to get their revenge. Naturally, Crowning Moments of all sorts appear to be in order:
** Funny: Haruka busts into the church, sidesteps a thrown sword, and proceeds to take the piss on the entire Fangire contingent NOT by furiously declaring her love for [[spoiler:the brainwashed bride]], but [[spoiler:compressing her TranquilFury into an audit of [=HamuAiko=]'s vows that ends in an attempt to shock her into reuniting her split psyche]].
** Funny: [[MexicanStandoff Mexican Fangire Henshin Standoff]] ensues. Haruka and Bishop crank the ham - the former with [[spoiler:[[Series/{{GARO}} Jade Knight SANA]]]], the latter with [[spoiler:[[Music/LadyGaga SaGagarc]]]].
** Awesome: the IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight begins in earnest...and ends in [[spoiler: Haruka one-shotting Inoue's mindfuck and inadvertently driving [=HamuAiko=] to suicide by Bassha Magnum]].
** Funny: Jin responds by breaking out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEbE3fGfF-o this]] as his pre-Henshin theme.
** Awesome: The DynamicEntry of Ingrid...via [[spoiler:crashing her and Aelita's Magnugiga-cum-Metal Gear REX through a wall and calling out Bishop]].
** Awesome: Phoenix Chronos busts out Liner Form. As G Den-O. And proceeds to [[FrickinLaserBeams release one HELL of a giant laser from his DenKamen Sword.]]
** Awesome: ...only to be upstaged by THIS: [[spoiler:"[[VideoGame/Persona3 We are Orpheus.]] [[Website/FourChan We cannot forget. We do not forgive.]]"]]
** Awesome: Haruka enacts Mexican Standoff Part Deux...only to play right into [[spoiler:Orpheus]]'s business sense.
** Heartwarming: Royce gets called in to get in on the about-to-ensue NoHoldsBarredBeatdown...only to convince all except [[spoiler:Haruka and Phoenix]] to stay their hands. Even [[spoiler:Orpheus/Yukari]], who'd demanded Inoue's demise in the first place.
** Heartwarming: The resolution of the Ingrid/Bishop fight, ironically enough: [[spoiler:Bishop/Maya Inoue managing to reconcile with Rook/Ingrid in the midst of slaying her as the new King and Dark Kiva]].

** Wyll and Rape Machine have a similar one with the most hilarious NoodleImplements - a baby, a pitchfork, a fried octopus strapped to a table, and {{Walt Disney}}'s frozen brain.

* BlandNameProduct: The setting as a whole is somewhat inconsistent about its ProductPlacement: console video games are represented by and large by the [=GameSphere=] and [=CompStation 360=], but portable systems and franchises are untouched (evidenced by Haruka's Fangire form being recognized as a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Gardevoir]]), ancient (by the setting) consoles are explicitly named, and fizzy soft drinks are also ordered by name (particularly Oranamin C, a drink plugged infrequently by Heisei Riders, and Mountain Dew simply as Haruka's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood signature drink]]). Oh yeah, there's also the {{Sega}} [[Advertising/SegataSanshiro Sanshiro]].

''Kamen Rider: Hour of the Void'' is a play-by-IRC game concocted on Rizon's family of #kamenridervoid channels (though the IC channel of that exact name has been [[strike:decommissioned]] suspended) and logged meticulously at [[http://tabletopkamenrider2.pbworks.com/ the PBWorks workspace]] of DM "nazca", played ostensibly using the ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'' engine as combat benchmarks. We say "ostensibly" because combat is regularly eclipsed by freeform [[DatingSim Social Link building]] worthy of the jury-rigged ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' backdrop.

* WorthyOpponent: Meta-example; Kenoko's player has this attitude towards Alex and Faruko's players. Since Kenoko's player is the guy who wrote MusouQuest, that shouldn't be surprising.

From the same gang on [[ImageBoard 4chan's /m/]] that brought you ''Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsQuest'', ''Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsG'', and the Roleplay/MusouVerse comes an observation of what happens when the venerable henshin heroes of the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchise are succeeded by a bunch of high schoolers.

[[spoiler:Not to mention Sae being a proper Showa cyborg and Tomoe somehow harboring [[KamenRiderKuuga N Daguva Zeba]] for a time.]]

* [[RedEyesTakeWarning Black Eyes Take Warning]]: In a natural subversion of the usual RETW, the occasional shifts to technicolor eye colors are no particularly dangerous concern. The [[BlackEyesOfEvil jet black]] of an impure [[KamenRiderKuuga Ultimate Kuuga]], on the other hand, is not only reason enough to expel mortar from posteriors, but a memetic sign on the IRC channels that someone's REALLY ticked off.
** And then Haruka transcends this via the development of [[KamenRiderBlackRX Black RX]] Eyes. In [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge character]], [[TranquilFury no]] [[LetsGetDangerous less]].

* HenshinHero: Well, it IS a KamenRider roleplay...

* NinjaMaid: There sure are a lot of {{meido}} enthusiasts among SEES, from Sacchin adopting it as her uniform of choice to Sae and Kaoru's fixation on the culture...and even Faruko taking on MaidCafe service part-time as decorum TrainingFromHell. (To say nothing of [[spoiler:Sacchin ascending to Maid King ([[InsistentTerminology yes, King]]) by defeating a [[KamenRiderFaiz Maid Kaixa attended by Maid Deltas]]]].)

* [[CastFullOfGay Cast Full Of Lesbians]]: A side effect of a large YuriFanboy player base. Ample male interaction still exists, however.

* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Narrowly averted despite the majority of the players being {{Yuri Fanboy}}s. A smattering of male [=NPCs=] helps make up the slack immensely, and the few male [=PCs=] play just as dynamically as the ladies.

* YuriFanboy: To the extent that one of the late-comers actually altered his core character concept in order to be able to play properly. (To be fair, that character's initial [[BrotherSisterIncest brocon]] arc was well and truly resolved for half a month beforehand.)

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have White Hair]]: Though anime hair colors have their place, a distressing concentration of [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy albino]] [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl locks]] leads the pack - Asuka, Wyll, Haruka, and Phoenix by now being the most prominent examples.

* RapeIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnFemale: Explored slightly with "the party" and Asuka's efforts to contain the fallout from drunken shenanigans with Sae and Sacchin. Narrowly averted with [=FangOreo=] and pals due to the gray area of [[HypnoRay psy-stimulation]].

** And then Haruka transcends this via the development of [[KamenRiderBlackRX Black RX]] Eyes. [[BeyondTheImpossible In]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge character]], [[TranquilFury no]] [[LetsGetDangerous less]].
