CHARACTER INFO

Character Name: Chris Ramirez
Character Canon: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

History: http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Chris_Ramirez (Chris' personal history)

http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Kamen_Rider_Dragon_Knight (Series history)

AU History: Chris Ramirez grew up as the only child of Ranger Daniel Ramirez and Guard Carmen Ramirez. As he was the only child of two Trainers/Enlightened, there was tremendous pressure from his father to join the Rangers. (Or as his father Daniel put it: four generations of Ramirez men have been Rangers and no son of his would break tradition.) When he was very young, (about six or seven years old) his mother Carmen was unable to have any more children, after an attack by a wild Pokemon had severly injured her. She survived the attack, but was forced to resign from her Guard position.

It was after this incident that further pressure and training from his father towards Chris becoming a Ranger. Unwilling to diappoint him and not wanting any further arguements between his parents, as his mother was quite vocal in allowing Chris his choose his own path. This coupled with the fact that he still had yet to bond with a Pokemon and his average test scores in school seem to push him towards a seemingly different goal than what his father wanted.

By the time who was ten however, he had an encounter with an Eevee which bonded with him after he accidently upset an Enlightened's Venipede which tried to bite him at first. After seeing this, the Eevee defended Chris and the Enlightened saw this as the Venipede nearly fainted from a Tackle. Afterwards, Chris bonded with the Eevee. Finding out that his new Eevee partner was female, he decided to name her 'Carmen' after his mother much to her amusement.

As the next few years go by Chris, his father increased Chris' training to become a Ranger. However as the training continued, he began to have lost the desire to want to be a Ranger and only continued the training to make his father happy. He nervously awaits to that day when he would be forced as a Ranger rather than what he wanted to do. His mother remained a source of encouragement as he hadn't made many friends in his life however the ones he has made would be friends for life.

He has had less than perfect school scores, average at best. Chris has made a few aquaintances through his parents' circle of friends and coworkers though he is a very quiet and reserved person on the best of days. The years pass and nothing noteworthy happens until about a month after his sixteenth birthday where he begins to have a serious case of coughing. He has had other cases in years pass where after a normal training regiment his symptoms would improve. He is taken to a doctor where Chris is revealed to his parents to have a moderate case of asthma and it would eventually get to the point where his condition could be life-threatening and told them that Chris being a Ranger was impossible.

Naturally, Chris' father protested the very nature of Chris' condition to the point of demanding of run more tests. Chris being more out of worry for his father's reaction, tried to reassure his father when he was hastily cut off by him. The doctor unfazed by Ranger Ramirez anger, told the three of them Chris would have to find something less dangerous and physical than the Rangers to find a career in. Anything that required anything majorly physcial and require him to work alone was out. No Rangers, Guard, or even Farmer. They all were out.

The next two years weare not a good time for Chris after this and he began to get even more withdrawn than usual with his father refusing to admit that Chris even had asthma, let alone his dreams of serving in the Rangers dashed. Needless to say he was disappointed in Chris was an understatement. It was during this time however while getting some food for Carmen and himself that he saw something in him that kind of was vacant after some friend of his (feel free to have some unknown person in game to be said person) noticed some metallic silver 'pieces' forming on his arms. They were only about the size of a tennis ball and every time he would touch it would move around his arm.

After showing this to his mother as at this point, his dad was a lost cause as far as having a personal relationship with him. His mother was amazed when he showed her as this meant he was now an Enlightened. Using all the pull she had still in the Guard, and was able to get him to become what he wanted all along: a Delver. Chris feeling a sort of joy and happiness in the first time in a long time, thanked his mother gratefully. At the age of eighteen he left to become a Delver on the condition he never goes anywhere dangerous without someone else. Chris agreed and he began his journey to become a great Delver. He was given a sword by his mother to defend himself as necessary as a farewell gift. That was one year ago, Chris is now nineteen and eager to enter the outside world with his Eevee partner Carmen.

For his first few weeks of being a Delver, Chris was able to explore a little bit on his own and even with a group to the mountain area early on until he had gotten lost. Alone and by himself except for Carmen, he came across a herd of Aron which took him by surprise and overwhelmed Chris and Carmen easily. Afterwards he saw nothing but blackness, when he awoke he was in the Forest Shrine with him and Carmen being tended to. After he was fully healed and rested, he took the safer but longer path to Union.

Canon Personality: Chris is someone who has no problem taking orders from people regardless of age or gender or anything else. He does however have trouble giving orders if he was put in such a situation. Being from a family of marines through four generations, has given Chris a bit of no confidance in his own abilities and has given serious doubts about himself. Generally soft-spoken, he rarely speaks his mind about subjects unless questioned. He considers his asthma a liability of himself on the battlefield. That isn't to say he's not brave. He tends to jump the gun sometimes, and when he deals with other authority types like his father, he'll rather meekly fall in line. He is rather intimidated by large problems as he can get rather stubborn when he thinks he's right. Chris is very loyal when you get to know him, and he trusts what few friends he has completely. He's also a bit naive and innocent when it comes to police and military figures and wouldn't dream of ignoring or disobeying them.

As a Kamen Rider in his own world, he deemed his asthma a liability because he in part felt he was in the way of Kit and Len's way stopping Xaviax. The other part was that after he was discharged from the Marines he felt powerless during the meeting with Marine doctor and felt at the core that maybe something was wrong with him to have failed completely. As his father always says 'let the training guide you', Chris felt he had better just let the other Riders take care of this because he couldn't even help himself. While he had initially believed his asthma gives him the firm belief that heart is no good without strength, he ever so slowly changed his mind in no short way thanks to Len and Kit. Chris initially thought he couldn't face his failure but with the bonds he made with Kit, Len, and Maya made him think twice and tried to keep a cool head during battles. He took Len's advice at heart and tried his hardest to learn his lessons and training. The reason why he's brave is because he's loyal, trustworthy, and selfless. He would put himself at risk long before his friends would have. A self sacrificing person, he would take other people's feelings and thoughts into consideration before his own.

In short, he is a young man who just wants to make his friends and family proud of him. Chris would risk his very life for those he cares for. While very softspoken, he will not give up on his friends as they won't give up on him.

Chris' main reasoning for liking to give orders is that well... he likely doesn't feel he would be that good of a leader. Most likely this stems from the fact that the last four generations of Ramirez men are war heroes dating back to World War One. There have been a few notable examples of him wanting to do his father Dan Ramirez proud. For example, he has stated in the end of episode 18 The Cho Brothers that he considered himself a major disappointment to his father and to himself for not being able to do his duty as a marine.

Another one is that while he has a deep respect for his father, he is rather submissive to his father as seen in the flashback is in the episode 12: Kamen Rider Sting. Even when he tries to intervene between the doctor who gave him the news about being asthmatic and his father who rapidly and angrily dismissed it, he is shut down verbally by his father. Despite this rare form of communication between Chris and his father, he does have a deepseated respect if only grudgingly for him.

AU Deviation: The major difference is unlike his canon his mother isn't featured at all, which implies she is absent in some form. With her somewhat calmer influence on Chris' behavior when she more or less replaces canon character Maya Young as far as a smart and reasonable middle-aged woman who reigns her pushy husband and introvert son and tries her best to keep them from suffering from the other.

Also without the appearance of Kit and Len in the AU, there's even less of Chris defending himself to his father and the only reason he isn't a Ranger is that both his mother and the doctors refuse to put him in harms way. (Which is very similar to how it happened in canon) Chris still is very much a quiet person generally only speaking when directed to him.

Canon Abilities: All Kamen Riders have what is called an Advent Deck and is their source of power for all Kamen Riders. Each Rider has their own Advent Beast in their deck which can give them additional power. Chris' particular Beast is a maroon manta ray-like creature by the name of Evildiver. While he doesn't have flight or super strength, as a Kamen Rider he has enhanced speed, durability and strength compareable to a major athlete. It's nothing too far outside the range of normal human though. To activate his powers he says 'Kamen Rider!' and a belt is transformed onto his body, he inserts the deck and he becomes Kamen Rider Sting.

In addition to his own strength as a Kamen Rider, his cards in his Advent Deck can help him in situations. The ones his uses are: Swing Vent which gives him a whip, Copy Vent which replicates or copies an opponent's weapon, Attack Vent which has Evildiver attack the opponent and Final Vent which he jumps onto Evildiver to use like a surfboard, and rams into his opponent.

Also through his Advent Deck he can travel back and forth between Earth and Ventara through mirrors and any other reflective surfaces even without him in Rider form. He can also sense creatures from his 'universe' called mirror monsters that primarily live in Ventara and periodically attack people on Earth.

Enlightened Abilities:
I will be making Chris a Fire/Steel Enlightened (Fire because almost every time he used his Copy Vent in canon it was usually of a Fire-based weapon, Steel because of the armor Chris wears as Kamen Rider Sting.) with the Kindred Soul perk which hints at Chris' true strength as his heart connects with Pokemon easily once he had Carmen the Eevee as his partner. He also owns a sword with the Fire type inside it.

(Bear in mind mods, that I'm not sure about if Chris is too highly powered but if anything needs correcting or changing let me know.)

Initially, Chris had only a basic powers related to being a Fire/Steel Enlightened, most them being physical attacks like Metal Claw and a weaker version of Fire Punch. He would have little control over his fire-based powers, only showing up under times of sheer stress or emotion. His Steel type moves have a slightly different effect, as the Steel type is evident on parts of his arms. He can slightly redirect this metal to his hands but that is about it.

Upon his first evolution, Chris' Steel type armor begins to show more and more covering his chest and back. He becomes more significantly durable to any types he wouldn't be weak against. The only Fire type influence would be in the sword as it grows larger and the blade is more pronounced.

Upon his final evolution, the Steel type has almost covered his limbs and body, a flame symbol is on his chest and the longer Chris fights the more aggressive his fire moves become. He is easily able to perform a high powered Flare Blitz at great risk to himself.

Starter Pokémon: Eevee, female named Carmen.

Notes/Special Considerations: I would like Chris to both have a Fire-based sword and to eventually to do a whole masked-hero vigilante thing somewhat similar to what he did as Sting in his canon. Other than that, nothing else comes to mind.

SAMPLES
(NOTE: You may link a previous entry or thread, including testrun or musebox threads (but NOT Dear Mun), for one or both samples. However, we want to see the character in the setting of Brave New World and specifically in their AU for at least one sample.)

First-Person: [Text]
Greetings everyone. Can I have your attention if you don't mind? My name is Chris Ramirez, former Ranger-in-training now Delver and I have a few questions to pose to you. First off, if you are a Ranger or even a Guard you may or may not have heard my surname in relation to any doctors or physicians. Not to mention the fact that I am from a long line of Rangers so... needless to say that I am breaking the tradition is kind of stating the obvious to put it mildly.

My first question is how much do names and first impressions come to you? Are they important? Should someone be held accountable for a relative's crime, no matter how major or minor? One more final question and then I will be gone. What to you defines 'loyalty'? Thank you, everyone for your time. For those who are Delvers and those who work with them, you will likely see me soon. I appreciate your understanding.

[Text message ends.]

Third-Person: Question version:

To what lengths would you go to rescue your allies if they were lost in the wilderness?
No matter how much time had passed, no matter if they were only gone a day or more than a year I wouldn't give up on anyone. I would do everything in my power to bring him or her home again. Even if I had to die in the process to bring them home.

What would you say the most important occupation is within Union? Off the record, I think the Delvers have the most important job in Union. Primarily because they are responsible for bringing all sorts of things to Union, whether it's merely resources for the city or any sort of trainer items for Pokemon like a Mystic Water.

What aspects and traits do you respect most in your individual fellow man? The traits that I respect the most would be loyalty, self-reliance, and friendship. These are the traits that have been in me my whole life. There is nothing worse than someone who is none of these traits in my opinion, a sad and lonely person that is.

What do you look for in the Pokémon with whom you bond? While there are no wrong Pokemon for me. (I have no preference of type) I would prefer Pokemon with whom I haven't bonded with at all first of all. Secondly, while I don't have preference with those types I would like to bond with I do enjoy spending time with those that are speedy to balance my own lack of speed. Also, I would like to bond with a Pawniard at some opportunity as I have always admired their ways of battling.

In your eyes, what is absolutely unforgivable? That is simple: betraying a friend or ally is not forgiveable especially if the person shows no remorse with what they have done. I f they do show remorse, however I might forgive them depending on the circumstances.

A human has attacked a wild Pokémon who retaliates in defense. How do you respond and whom do you defend? I would intervene as the wild Pokemon was clearly in the right, and I would keep the human from doing serious harm to said Pokemon. I wouldn't attack in kind just subdue him until the Rangers arrived. Now if the Pokemon was at fault that would be a different story.

You plunge into the depths of the Old City. What is it that you seek from the past? Treasure, technology, wisdom?

It would depend on what the city would need most at the time: resources, items connected to Pokemon, tech salvage, etc. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of one, in this case the needs of Union outwighs my needs. Though I do admit, I would like to learn about some of the history from the time before Union existed.

When encountering a rare and powerful Pokémon, what is most important? Researching it, bonding with it, or defeating it?
Why?

I would try to bond with it, naturally as that may not be the safest option depending on the Pokemon I would be very cautious and take it slowly. Why? Because we need help to survive in Union and Pokemon are the easiest way we can learn about this world to survive.

What area do you seek to explore? The peaceful forest, in search of new, previously overlooked discoveries; the uncharted caves, in search of the unknown; or the wildest of mountain terrain, in search of danger, adventure, and thrills?

All of them are real good choices to be perfectly honest because they all offer a chnace to explore the world and find new things. However if I had to pick, I would take the forest primarily because of the quiet and seemingly harmless inhabitants. Forests are treasure troves of hidden pokemon, particularly for Grass types.

I'm going to assume that last ability will get nerfed by the mods.
Canon Weapons|Items: Chris won't have any weapons except for those used by Kamen Rider Sting. In this case his Swing Vent whip, and whatever weapon is copied via Copy Vent. Other than that nothing.

Canon Allies:
While his Advent Beast has limited intelligence for a robotic stingray, Chris (or rather Kamen Rider Sting) can summon his Advent Beast via his Advent Deck. It's the closest thing to a 'canon ally'.

Canon Baggage:
The clothes on his back, a small brown backpack with the following items: almost blank journal, his dog tags, and probably a change of clothes (I say probably because his home was never shown and it's easier this way for me. If this isn't allowed, I can remove this item.) as well as his Advent Deck (the key to his powers).

Writing Sample

Chris Ramirez just sighed as he stared at the object in his hands, his Advent Deck. This wasn't exactly what he should doing staring at the glowing metal object, but he was. Staying in his own apartment seemed like the best choice at the moment. Kit and Len would've let him know if there was any danger around, and he didn't sense any mirror monsters from Xaviax right now. It was a normal, peaceful and somewhat dull afternoon. Writing about events, was something brand new for Chris but he did his best to jot down his recent thoughts: his discussion with his father, his new experiences as a Kamen Rider, and his new friends.

"Things with Dad are just not happening." He thought aloud. "I mean I do understand tradition but..." Chris just sighed. He knew that no matter what was said to him, his father just couldn't accept Chris' 'failure' after getting a medical discharge. It was not something Chris could change and he had a few other concerns as well. Could he really survive the coming battles? And what if Len and Kit got hurt because of him? But he promised them he would see this through no matter what.

"I can get through this. I have to. Kit and Len are counting on me." So intent on focusing on his mission, he didn't realize that he was no longer in his apartment. The loast thinought that went through his head was that he was so tired...Much later when he had woken up he noticed he was no longer in his apartment, was in some strange city. After a quick walk to try to clear his head, he was able to learn that he was one of the 'new arrivals' from a completely different world than the people inhabiting the city. It sounds crazy but he turned into a maroon-colored armored warrior with a metal card deck so who was he to judge?

He wasn't really paying attention to most of the people, quiet guy he was, so he decided to try to transform into Kamen Rider Sting to see if his deck still worked. Reaching into his jacket's pocket he was extremely panicked once the Advent Deck was missing from within the beige jacket. "No. No, this is definitely not good! What could have happened to the Advent Deck?! I've got to find it before anything happens!" His almost lazy attitude towards the people made him realize that he would have to ask for some help if he was going to find it. Chris knew he was going to need help even if he would have to level with the locals and the other arrivals about his origins.

SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON;

2.) What would you say is your greatest strength?

My greatest strength? If I had to pick just one trait, I guess it would be perseverence even though I sometimes have to be remnded of the good that I have done. But once I am set on a path I don't break it. My word is my bond.

3.) If you were given the option to stay in the Digital World or return to your home, which would you choose? Why?

It would depend on a few things. Would time progress as it normally would back home? If so, I would prefer to stay here since the fight against Xaviax would have ended and this is where I do more good. If not, I would want to go home asthma afttecting me or not. Mostly because of the likelihood of Xaviax still being around and the fact that I would miss Len, Kit, and Maya, either choice would be hard.

4.) What ability would you most like to have?

That's a strange question. It isn't an ability exactly, but I would like to go through life without asthma. My father has high expectations for me as a marine. And my friends depend on me in battle as Kamen Rider Sting. If I didn't have the asthma I could be the hero that my dad wanted me to be. But that isn't happening sadly, so uh can we move on?

"I can get through this. I have to. Kit and Len are counting on me." So intent on focusing on his mission, he didn't realize that he was no longer in his apartment. The last thought that went through his head was that he was so tired...Much later when he had woken up he noticed he was no longer in his apartment, was in some strange city. After a quick walk to try to clear his head, he was able to learn that he was a 'chosen child' from a completely different world than the people inhabiting the city. The people were beings of various shapes and sizes It sounds crazy but he turned into a maroon-colored armored warrior with a metal card deck so who was he to judge?

He wasn't really paying attention to most of the people including any Digimon, quiet guy he was so he decided to try to transform into Kamen Rider Sting to see if his deck still worked. Reaching into his jacket's pocket he was extremely panicked once the Advent Deck was missing from within the beige jacket. "No. No, this is definitely not good! What could have happened to the Advent Deck?! I've got to find it before anything happens!" His almost unassuming attitude towards the people made him realize that he would have to ask for some help if he was going to find it. Chris knew he was going to need help even if he would have to level with the locals and the other arrivals about his origins.

And then there was the asthma that he periodically suffered from... Chris knew he wasn't the most social person around, a combination of his quiet nature and his military upbringing by his father but this wasn't the way to do things. He would have to find some medicine immediately, if he didn't Chris realized that he wouldn't be much use to anyone. He had told his 'partner' that, a very energetic female lizard called Veemon who was in some rush to show Chris the city, or what remained of it. 

He coughed as she called to him "Chris, Chris! I heard that Jyou guy could help you! He is supposed to know all sorts of human medicine. Let's look for him!" The Digimon excited to help Chris took off in a run but he just sighed as he watched her pick up speed. "While I do need asthma medicine, do you know where this Jyou is, Veemon?" She deflated a little, but she still had a goofy grin on her face. "Well... not exactly. But we can ask people. That 'll cut down on the time!" Chris gave a small nod, as he began to follow her. Hopefully, things will work out for the best.

[IC Information]
Character Name: Chris Ramirez
Series: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Species: Human

Appearance: Height is difficult to be sure of, but he is neither super-short or exceedingly tall. He appears to be somewhere between 5'7 – 5'9 as he looks to be around Kit's height who is a year younger than him.He has short brown hair in a bowl sort of haircut; and typically (and as of his canon point) wears military-related boots and pants with a green shirt and a beige jacket. Because of his former career, he does have some athletic muscle to his body but other than tyhat he appears to be fairly average.

Personality: Chris is someone who has no problem taking orders from people regardless of age or gender or anything else. He does however have trouble giving orders if he was put in such a situation. Being from a family of marines through four generations, has given Chris a bit of no confidance in his own abilities and has given serious doubts about himself. Generally soft-spoken, he rarely speaks his mind about subjects unless questioned. He considers his asthma a liability of himself on the battlefield. That isn't to say he's not brave. He tends to jump the gun sometimes, and when he deals with other authority types like his father, he'll rather meekly fall in line. He is rather intimidated by large problems as he can get rather stubborn when he thinks he's right. Chris is very loyal when you get to know him, and he trusts what few friends he has completely. He's also a bit naive and innocent when it comes to police and military figures and wouldn't dream of ignoring or disobeying them.

As a Kamen Rider in his own world, he deemed his asthma a liability because he in part felt he was in the way of Kit and Len's way stopping Xaviax. The other part was that after he was discharged from the Marines he felt powerless during the meeting with Marine doctor and felt at the core that maybe something was wrong with him to have failed completely. As his father always says 'let the training guide you', Chris felt he had better just let the other Riders take care of this because he couldn't even help himself. While he had initially believed his asthma gives him the firm belief that heart is no good without strength, he ever so slowly changed his mind in no short way thanks to Len and Kit. Chris initially thought he couldn't face his failure but with the bonds he made with Kit, Len, and Maya made him think twice and tried to keep a cool head during battles. He took Len's advice at heart and tried his hardest to learn his lessons and training. The reason why he's brave is because he's loyal, trustworthy, and selfless. He would put himself at risk long before his friends would have. A self sacrificing person, he would take other people's feelings and thoughts into consideration before his own.


Abilities: He transforms into Kamen Rider Sting. All Kamen Riders have what is called an Advent Deck and is their source of power for all Kamen Riders. Each Rider has their own Advent Beast in their deck which can give them additional power. Chris' particular Beast is a maroon manta ray-like creature. While he doesn't have flight or super strength, as a Kamen Rider he has enhanced speed, durability and strength compareable to a major athlete. It's nothing too far outside the range of normal human though. To activate his powers he says 'Kamen Rider!' and belt is transformed onto his body, he inserts the deck and he becomes Kamen Rider Sting. In addition to his own strength as a Kamen Rider, his cards in his Advent Deck can help him in situations. The ones his uses are: Swing Vent which gives him a whip, Copy Vent which replicates or copies an opponent's weapon, and Final Vent which he jumps onto Evildiver to use like a surfboard, and rams into his opponent. In addition on his world he was able to travel back and forth between Earth and Ventara via mirrors or any reflective surfaces. Obviously, he can't use that ability in the game so it will be disabled..

Items: Just the clothes on his back and his Advent Deck.
History:
Chris Ramirez was a marine whose military life is cut short due too his asthma growing too advanced. As his father explains to him, four generations of Ramirez men have been in the marines and military and no son of his was going to break the tradition. As Chris' father and doctor argue about Chris' condition, he waits outside under his father's order. As he sits down and waits, a man who then appears and introduces himself to Private Ramirez (Chris) as Special Agent Simons and explains that he heard about the discharge, and that he works for a Clandestine Governmental Organization, and he is just exactly the kind of young man they're looking for. He informs Chris that their country, their very planet even has been invaded by aliens from another world. He hands over an Advent Deck to Chris. Chris says yes, it would be an honor to serve his country. Agent Simons says, 'welcome aboard.'

He has spent the next few weeks fighting monsters, but unknown to him he is being tricked to fight other Riders by an alien named Xaviax (who Simons really was) and confronts Dragon Knight, Chris saying 'this is my planet alien, and you are under arrest'. Dragon Knight tries to convince him he's human and his name is Kit Taylor. But Sting still believes that Kit is an alien and explains that Agent Simons told him about their tricks. Sting grabs Kit, but then they see Wing Knight and Thrust fighting. Sting attacks Wing Knight. Dragon Knight explains to Wing Knight that he's not a bad guy. With his Asthma becoming too intense, Sting has no choice but to listen to what they have to say.

They take him to Kit's place and try to to tell Chris that he has been lied to by Xaviax, that he wants to conquer Earth using the Kamen Riders. However, Chris didn't listen and escaped through a reflective surface. Kit and Len (Wing Knight) split up to search for up. Len finds him and tries to get him to listen, but Chris transforms to Sting and attacks him. Sting uses Final Vent and rams into Wing Knight, but Wing Knight survives the attack. Sting's Asthma becomes too intense for him to continue fighting. Wing Knight uses his Final Vent, but stops in mid-air. Len then walks off.

Chris reports to Agent Simons (Xaviax) about meeting Kit and Len. Simons says that Wing Knight will take him out when he gets the chance. Chris is confused, because that's not what happened, Wing Knight had the chance to Vent him but didn't. He then sees Dragon Knight fighting another Kamen Rider and spies a friend of Kit and Len's: Maya. She asks if he still thinks Kit is an alien to which Chris says no. Maya tells him to get in their and help him, but Chris isn't sure. Dragon Knight manages to get in a good strike and chase away Torque, the other Rider. Kit finds Chris talking with Maya. Chris says that everything's alright. Dragon Knight and Sting destroy a monster together. Kamen Rider Sting explains that he's beginning to see that actions speak louder than words, and they head off to find Len.

The duo find Wing Knight battling Thrust as well as Torque and a new Rider: Kamen Rider Strike. During the ensuing fight, Torque tries to wipe out all the other Riders by firing out his Advent Beast's missiles at everyone. Sting, Dragon Knight. and Wing Knight survive and Torque leaves thinking he finished the job. Strike throws the defeated Thrust to the ground and finishes him off. Dragon Knight quickly calls his dragon Advent Beast which results in a stalemate between Strike and Dragon Knight. They watch Strike leave and then Chris says this time, he'll listen to explanations. They head to Kit's place to tell Chris everything that has happened: how Len and Kit met, the story behind the other Riders and Xaviax and where they stood now. Kit asks Chris if he will help them stop Xaviax, but Chris has another asthma attack and tells them he can't, then takes off. Maya takes after him, but before she can reach him he somehow ends up in Traverse Town.

In short, he is a young man who just wants to make his friends and family proud of him. Chris would risk his very life for those he cares for. While very softspoken, he will not give up on his friends as they won't give up on him. He would rather die than betray those he cares for. He's very protective of all his friends, even if he tends to give up on himself. His friends would never give up on him, and over time he may see his own self-worth.
*Powers/Abilities: He transforms into Kamen Rider Sting. All Kamen Riders have what is called an Advent Deck and is their source of power for all Kamen Riders.

He also is a former marine and has been trained in military situations.

Writing Samples
*First Person Sample: [Despite the uneasiness of Chris and the device, Chris' tone betrayed a worried ex-marine via audio.]

Excuse me. Has anyone heard of or seen any of these people? Kit Taylor, Maya Young, or Len? Or heard of something called an Advent Deck? It's important. The fate of my world or worlds I guess, would be at stake. I understand some things are different here, but if someone has seen these people please contact me. My name is Chris Ramirez. Thank you. I apologize if your time was wasted by me.
*Third Person Sample: "Kit?"

Chris had awakened only minutes ago in a rocky quarry of sorts, confused and puzzled as to why and how he got there. While the confusion didn't where off, a small part of him was suspicious as the shock slowly wore off. Was Xaviax involved, or was it something else?

"Len! Maya? Anyone out here?" Chris gave a sigh to himself as there was no one answering his voice. He began to walk in one direction while his thoughts came to view his mind. He saw nothing familair in the sky or in his surroundings. No familair landmarks, not even a single star he recognized.

"Great... Maybe I'll need to get somewhere higher to see if wherever I am, there's some sort of civilization. But I should be careful. No telling who or what is out here." So Chris began a long climb and hopefully he would find someone to help him out.
Final Notes: None
