An Ordinary Oddball
I don't really know anything about Kamen Rider, but then I read the trope page, and I saw this:
- Name: Nancy Weaver, Kamen Rider Seamstress
- Age: 15
- Appearance:
- Nancy is a (5 ft. 2 in. 120 lbs.) 15-year-old girl with dark brown eyes and dark brown hair that reaches to her waist.
- When untransformed, Nancy wears a white T-shirt under a gray zip-up hoodie, tan trousers, white socks with sneakers, and she uses her magic needle as a hairstick to put her hair in an simple updo.
- Personality: Nancy behaves very maturely for her age, looking out for others. She's still cheerful and idealistic underneath it all, however. Her greatest dream is for the whole world to be friends, but since it's childish, she doesn't say it out loud very often. She becomes very motivated whenever someone tells her something is impossible.
- History: Nancy is the daughter of a seamstress. Her father left them when she was a toddler, which motivated Nancy to swear to never abandon anyone. She wants to follow in her mother's footsteps. Recently, she found a magic needle that gave her powers, just in time for the news to report that sinister things were afoot. To protect her mother and her city, she became Kamen Rider Seamstress.
- Kamen Rider Powers:
- Trinkets:
- Her magic needle gives her powers and clothes. It's the size of a knitting needle and turns into an impossibly sharp rapier when she transforms. If Nancy exerts her will in a particularly dire situation, the rapier will wreath itself in blue flames to grant itself even more cutting power. Even if someone takes it away from Nancy, they will not be able to use it—it requires Nancy's permission.
- Forms: Doesn't have any at the moment due to inexperience.
- Appearance: When transformed, Nancy wears a white short-sleeved button-up shirt under a leather jerkin, a white frilly knee-length underskirt, a dark blue knee-length overskirt, woolen knee-high socks under knee-high leather boots, a white mob cap with a dark blue ribbon tied in a bow, leather fingerless gloves, and a belt for her rapier, Needle. Her hair is also let down, and she gains a blue Battle Aura when sufficiently determined.
- Trinkets:
- General Powers:
- Mystic Flight: Can fly at a top speed of 150 mph.
- Mystic Passage: Can teleport in a 500 ft. radius
- Mystic Blast: Can fire a bolt of magical energy with varying sizes, but it will tire Nancy out
- Mystic Inspiration: Can inspire hope in comrades and strengthen them, but Nancy must be feeling hopeful herself
- Mystic Weave: Can summon very strong threads in varying thicknesses for various purposes
- Can also be woven into simple shapes to form constructs
- Can cast spells by making Cat's Cradle shapes with her threads, but she needs to find the right shapes via trial-and-error
- Weaknesses:
- Anti-Magic: Nancy's powers run on magic, so Anti-Magic will effectively null them if the power level of the Anti-Magic exceeds her power level.
- Trinket Required: Nancy needs the needle to transform. Taking it away will make her powerless.

I wear the skin of the Elder Things, having come unto my own.
Up on Melancholy hill.
Hey, I said alternate timelines, and alternate dimensions! Doesn't mean there can't be Magical Girl Kamen Riders, so let's spice it up a little bit! Accepted!
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Anyways Here's Darude Sandstorm
interest
GIVE ME YOUR FACE
Surrounded by weirdoes
Kamen Rider Leo, AKA, Kenshi Arashi
- Age: 18
- Appearance: This fellow, but wearing black and red.
◊
- Personality: While normally seen by others as serious and a bit scary, Kenshi is really just shy and not too good with people. But underneath all that, there is a sharp, passionate guy and believes in helping others, and doesn't doubt on helping anyone as he can, even if it's just with a few words. But in spite of being a quick witted guy, he is reckless and can take unnecessary risks and take things too lightly. As Leo, he sheds some of his facade and starts making cheesy speeches and saying things he'd consider embarrassing normally. Otherwise, he is just too blunt, and sometimes can't read the mood.
- Background: Kenshi was always a rather normal, hard working guy with a love for games, loving his parents, a couple of reporters and trying to keep the relatively few friends he had. A family friend, Dr. Leila Aoi came up with a new invention, a device referred to as the Leo Role, his Transformation Trinket, which, when a monster attacked the city, he stole and rushed to use.
Kamen Rider Powers
- Trinket: The Leo Maker is a belt with a twenty sided dice on the buckle, with maps of a RPG world. To change forms (referred to as Classes), he uses figurines called Selectors, one depicting an armored knight in a defensive stance and another a brutish berserker with Wolverine Claws charging.
Forms: So far, he has:
- Knight Class: A red, rather armored form carrying a sword as its main weapon and able to use fire.
- Barbarian Class: Yellow, noticeably lighter in armor, but increasing the physical power and giving him lightning powers.
Appearance: All the suits have the leonine helmet, with black clothing underneath. Knight gives him bright red armor, black cape and a shining broadsword, and Barbarian replaces it with a yellow cloak, and fur covering several spots. The claws come from his knuckles. He comes with a very powerful bike he calls Roar Roll, which looks like a white mechanical lion.
Powers:
- Critical Hit: At several points, he sees a glowing point on his enemy, showing weak points and the attack comes more powerful.
- Roll the dice: When in mortal danger, a twenty sided dice is thrown, to have a random effect.
- Elemental Control: His forms give him powers of fire, lightning, wind, ice...
Weaknesses:
- Still human: Particularly without Henshin.
- Class Change: As each class has different stats ans specialties, it means a change in fighting style and tactics mid fight.
- Reckless: Costs the more in frailer classes.
Man, this has to be a crazy idea.
Wake me up at your own risk.
- Name: August Watanabe, Kamen Rider Natura
- Age: 18
- Appearance: August is small for his age, in all dimensions, but has some lean muscle. He has short black hair which seems to stick up into spikes no matter how much effort is put in, with a fringe that almost covers his bright blue eyes. His clothing is an odd mismatch, with a cloth tunic and blue jeans. As with all of his people, he has a tattoo of a star with wings; his is on his left hand.
- Personality: August is somewhat scatterbrained, prone to hyperactivity and a little short on common sense. However, he has a great mechanical mind and putting a broken machine in front of him is really the only way to get him to sit still. He's a fundamentally good person but is still quite naive, not having seen much of the world.
- History: August's world is more different than most; he comes from a city in the skies called Ventus; the lands below are ruined, most life having been wiped out by a great catastrophe while Ventus hovers above, running on a mix of salvaged technology and magic. August's father, Watanabe Hiroto, was a great inventor, making many magitech devices to help the population of Ventus and raised him as a protege, teaching him about magic and technology. His life was peaceful enough but the city was in constant danger, as the monsters that roamed the land below sometimes approached Ventus; for most of his life these were easily defeated by the Zephyr Guard, an elite group of warriors but over time the attacks seemed to be getting fiercer and fiercer. Eventually a monster broke through and Hiroto revealed his secret plan; the Natura Driver, a device that could transform the wielder into a powerful warrior that could harness the power of the Earth. The Zephyr Guard forced into retreat, August took the driver and became Kamen Rider Natura.
- Kamen Rider Powers:
- Trinkets: The Natura Driver is a ramshackle driver, made with clockwork and enchanted wood around a mystic core. It uses Animus Keys, which siphon the power of the Earth. Animus Keys can be used on their own but cause varying side-effects the Driver avoids.
- Forms:
- Soaring Soul: His base form, a sky-blue and white form with cloud and eagle designs. He can fly and move fast as well as controlling the wind but is physically weak.
- Charging Soul: A mountain form, brown with rock and goat designs. It's physically strong, able to impact enemies, and can climb up any surface.
- Diving Soul: An ocean soul, dark blue with wave and dolphin designs. He can breath underwater and turn his legs into a razor-sharp tail. He can also create massive waves or whirlpools with a large enough body of water.
- Appearance: His base suit is white, with light armour that looks like wood and stone; all of the base Souls add more on top of this and change the helmet.
- General Powers: Natura's powers are quite varied, depending on the Animus Key he's currently using. He's also stronger than the average human and can glide to the ground even when not in soaring soul. His link to the power of Earth means he's attuned to nature, which lets him pacify animals and sense great catastrophes.
- Weaknesses:
- Specialization: Most of his abilities are linked to a form, so he may need to switch often.
- Inexperienced: While Natura could, in theory, be immensely powerful, August has very little idea how to use his powers.

Up on Melancholy hill.
I love both of them! Welcome both of you, you're accepted.
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Name: Grigoria "Grigo" Gjergenson
Age: 35
Gender: F
Appearance: Big tall woman in a nice suit, projects Big Driver Energy, stands about 6'3
◊. Has an elaborate tattoo across her back of a sword plunging through the head of a European dragon.
Rider Type: Original
Rider Name: Kamen Rider Vandal
Henshin Appearance: The Vandal Driver is a black tape deck with a white panel to pop open like on a Walkman, and purple buttons. Slotting in the Vandal Cart and hittinG play activates the transformation, with the Driver declaring "MESS IT UP!" Vandal's mask is a smooth purple helmet with a vertical line between her eyes, a pair of plain white circles—as different from more traditional Rider oval eyes. The helmet is decorated with a chaotic pattern of white arrows, all pointing towards her eyes. The chestpiece is mounted on a black base bodysuit and is a fairly plain white plate, but it all sits under a flat knee-length coat with a very blocky silhouette similar to a raincoat. It has a hood, but Vandal normally keeps it down so that she can flip it up for drama. The belt sits over the coat, and sharply indents it to give it a strong V shape with little tails pointed out like how Wizard's belt creases his coat super sharply. A pair of holsters sit on her hips too, which hold the Vandal Painters when not in use. Covering up as high as her knees and are a pair of big rounded boots, evocative of more utilitarian combat boots. Her boots and her coat are splattered with strange shifting paints. Whenever she moves the paints shift from vague forms into hard iconic looks, generally lots of hard-edged arrows and cool slogans.
Additional Gear:
- The Vandal Sprayers give Grigo access to a lot of her other gear, appearing as a pair of big stylized spraycans that attach to her waist. They can by default create strong physical constructs by spraying out and hanging in the air as if there's a surface about 6 inches from the nozzle, which are very durable against attacks by anyone but Kamen Rider Vandal, who can break the images with ease. Untransforming also causes the paint to lose all of its magic and just collapse wherever it is, falling harmlessly to the ground.
- Grigo draws her sword, the Vandalizer, with the other use of the term "draw" by using the Vandal Sprayers. It's a big European broadsword that varies every time it's drawn but that is always huge, light, extremely sharp, and a little unwieldy.
- Similarly her ride, the Vandal Raider, isn't its own ride, and is instead a ridiculous graffitied vandalization of any other vehicle that she can get her Sprayers to cover, varying incarnation to incarnation.

Bona-Fide Mastah

- Appearance:A young woman with chopped short black hair, maroon eyes, and pale skin. Often dresses in masculine clothes, often a blue shirt, red tie, black slacks and shoes, and a brown duster.
- History: Yuri was a member of her city's police force, having presented herself as a male when rejected previously for her long hair and general femininity, before being promoted to her current role as an investigator. As time went on, she was brought into a secret program known as the Rider Force, where she was given her belt, bike, and Clips. While she now acts like her old feminine self, she's still often mistaken for a man for her attitude.

Name: Ishi Saigo. AKA: Kamen Rider Alloy
Age: 22
Appearance: A bit tall, fairly muscled from the occasional manual labor job and nearly albino pale (for now), tends to wear his black hair in a short ponytail and a grey zippered hoodie over colored T shirts and jeans.
Personality: Ishi is a laid back, somewhat shy young man who tries to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and is still trying to adjust to the idea of a generic nobody like him being a Rider.
History: In a world where earth's population resides in a massive underground metropolis, Ishi makes his living hopping between delivery jobs. A few months with the postal service, a few months hauling rubble to the dump, a few months with fast food... Until one day a late night pizza run brings him to a lab when a monster attacks. Overhearing it's demands for a set of artifacts that had recently been dug up, Ishi grabs them and runs to draw the monster away from the helpless scientists, and Kamen Rider Alloy was born.
- Kamen Rider Powers: A set of 3 powers based on which Gemsteel Plates Alloy has equipped to the head, arm/body and leg slots of his driver. How each plate functions varies based on where it's equipped, but they tend to keep to a specific inspiration.
- MELTDOWN: Briefly overcharges and concentrates the power of Alloy's equipped plates for a finishing blow or combination.
- Trinkets:
- Gemsteel Driver
- Bronze "Knuckle" Plate.
- Steel "Drill" Plate.
- Iron "Sword" Plate.
- Ruby "Fire" Plate.
- Topaz "Electric" Plate.
- Forms: (No form combos available initially)
- Appearance: Varies based on the plates equipped, but Alloy's "base" appearance seems to be a light grey hardhat bearing at variable symbol set over bug-eye lenses and an otherwise featureless black mask and body suit under an armored (or padded) chestpiece with matching shoulderpieces and gauntlets and finally a pair of padded leggings and tall boots. The Gemsteel driver on his waist holds three oblong slots for his plates and takes the form of an old oven like furnace with a bellows lever attached to the side.
- General Powers:
- Increased strength, endurance and agility.
- Floodlights (built into Alloy's shoulder pieces).
- Short range tremor sensor (AKA: handheld "subterranean radar").

The Blinder
- Name: Ushio Hide, Kamen Rider Kestrel
- Age: 29
- Appearance: Hide is a gaunt man, starved by years on the road. He wears a green long-sleeved shirt under a red long vest. He's got chin length hair and a short goatee and is usually wearing a trucker hat and a pair of binoculars around his neck.
- Personality: A life on the road that's only increased with difficulty have left Hide with two major hobbies; playing the guitar and bird-watching. He likes to travel, does not like people and would rather just walk away from his problems.
He's sarcastic, apathetic and frankly? Just unpleasant to other people, he fights to save their lives without any help, doesn't really have to be nice to them.
He'd rather just play guitar and birdwatch, but there' always a monster to show up...Quicker he deals with all the crap going on, the quicker he can leave.
- History:Hide's been on the road for the majority of his life. Bourne by the joy of life and music, Hide bought a battered old motorcycle and would travel from town to town, simply playing his guitar. Life was good, it was Hide, his guitar and maybe a good drink to end the day.
Unfortunately, this was not to last. A Motorcycle crash left Hide lost an injured in the middle of a forest and there, he was struck by the sound of birdsong. Figuring he could Bird-watch while he waited for help, Hide followed the noise only to come to a clearing with two things in it; an ancient skeleton and a strange belt. Hide took the belt, expecting to pawn it off.
That was when he was assaulted by several metal talking birds. These birds explained to him that this was a line of Mediterranean warriors, making a continued pact with ancient warrior bird spirits, lending the tribes their power in times of great need. Unfortunately, they had no way of leaving the belt so they made a deal, they would lend Hide their strength in return for his help, Hide accepted this. Not expecting to be thrust into a world full of monsters and madness.
That being said, Hide has gotten fairly good at his job, gaining the ability to use the forms of all but one three of the birds, Hawk, Vulture and Eagle. But there's a lot of road left in his journey and eventually? Maybe Hide will become the strongest of the Kamen riders...Or die.
- Kamen Rider Powers:
- Trinkets: Hide is constantly followed by six metallic birds; a Kestrel, an owl, a shrike, an eagle, a pelican and a hawk.
- Forms:
- Shrike: In Shrike form, Kestrel sacrifices defense in terms of pure speed and aggression. In this form, Kestrel loses all of his armor. Gaining a waist-long grey cape and a white chest plate. His helmet is white, save for a black visor that goes ear to ear. While in Shrike form, Kestrel gains two fore-arm length short swords, both serrated and both capable of doing a lot of damage. Shrike form also gains the ability to accelerate fast enough to leave an afterimage across short distances and summon thorns from the ground to attack enemies. Defensively speaking, it's also Kestrel's weakest form.
- Pelican: Kestrel's armor becomes much more bulbous, with round white shoulder pauldrons and massive forearm guards, giving this form a topheavy, almost comical appearance. In Pelican form, Kestrel becomes extremely resilient at the cost of being slow and not doing much damage. He is capable of summoning energy 'wings' from his arms to use as shields or, more importantly? Be able to teleport something up to the size of a fully grown man to a pocket dimension from which he can remove it at any time he wishes.
- Owl: Kestrel gains purple pauldrons and a black opera cape. His helmet becomes sharper, with large round golden eyeholes and two horn-like protrusions. His gloves become white and his entire body is streaked with grey. In this form, Kestrel is somewhat fragile but gains the ability to rotate his head three hundred and sixty degrees and possesses night vision. He also gains the Raptor, a long flintlock rifle, allowing him to fire at a distance.
- Appearance: Kestrel's base form (Kestrel) is a black form suit, over which he gains grey shoulder pauldrons and brown, feather-like pauldrons. His breastplate is white and his helmet is grey and form-fitting, with two large round black and white circles for eyeholes. His forearm guards are also grey, ending in gloves that have yellow knuckles.
- General Powers: Kestrel has the ability to fly, not just float on the breeze, but literally fly based on sprouting wings from his back.
Even if there is no God or Buddha...there will always be Kamen Rider.
Picture a world for me. A world like our own. But in this world, Monsters exist to cause untold pain and destruction around the world. Chaos exists, but in a world wherein chaos is permitted to exist, there is always Justice. There is always law. There is always KAMEN RIDER.
There are hundreds upon thousands variants of our world, some ranging to slight changes to entirely different timelines. Each and every one, a Kamen Rider to protect it, in some way, shape or form.
But the identity of these Alternate Worlds has finally found someone with the potential to eradicate them all.
Someone with dark intentions looks upon the worlds, their possibilities...and wishes nothing more for their destruction.
His Wicked Plan already begun, he puts into motion a plan to eradicate the known worlds, to bring about endless destruction for his own nefarious schemes.
But this is a story of hope. A story of heroes. And ultimately, a Story of Kamen Riders.
...
Kamen Rider Legacy is basically a love letter to everything great about the Tokusatsu genre, Kamen Rider in particular. In this one, I\'m giving you all the potential, the ability, to be ANY kind of Kamen Rider you want to be. I\'m giving you all complete and total control over your own destiny. Do you want to play a Canon character? Sounds good to me. How about an OC with a Canon characters powers? Of course! Or maybe someone else entirely new, with their own set of powers? I\'d be more than happy to include that.
The tale of this one is hope and justice, as one would expect. There will be moments of darkness, and the potential for grim, but in the end, it\'s a story of hope. A story of peace and love and justice.
Are you willing to don the belt?
...
Kamen Rider Powers:
- Trinkets: What do they use to transform? How many do they have? (At this point in the game, we\'re not up to Final Forms yet, but we will get there)
- Forms: A max of 3 At the moment, and we\'ll acquire more as we play.
- Appearance:
- General Powers
