IN CHARACTER
Name: Chris Ramirez
Canon: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
Canon Point: The beginning of Semper Fi
Age: 19.
History: http://www.kamenconnection.com/riders_sting/
I can write it out if you require more history but I believe this covers his important parts.
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.
Contracts: [As Chris muses, and nervously fiddles with his Advent Deck he comes to realization that weird things happen to him.] "I guess I'm lucky that Maya or her friend Trent didn't get sent here when I opened through the mirror." Dealing with Xaviax was strange enough but getting sent to another planet with no way home? No fun at all. "And then you guys appeared."
Abilities/Skills: With his Advent Deck he can transform into Kamen Rider Sting by holding it outward and saying 'Kamen Rider'. 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 mantaray-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.
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 most often 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. I don't see a major problem with nerfing his power as he's one of the weaker Riders, he wouldn't be able to deal with too many physical blows before reverting to his human form.
Strengths/Weaknesses: He has a moderate asthma which Chris (if he gets accepted) suffers with greatly in day to day activities to combat. He does know how to fight having been trained as a marine (see history), besides these he's a very sensitive heart and favors people over things. Chris can be overly stubborn about certain things like fighting alone and it takes until Semper Fi to start acting like a team player.
Items: His Advent Deck, paper journal, and dog tags.

Excuse me, hello. My name is Chris Ramirez fellow... I guess you would say shipmate? To get to the point and to try be a little bit helpful, has anyone here heard the name 'Kamen Rider'? I know I sound somewhat young for my age but, this is important. Also how many military folks do we have here?
The reason I'm asking is... I was marine for a time and it is good to keep tally of who you can count on in a fight.

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." After finding out the truth what Agent Simons truly was, Chris knew Xaviax had to be stopped no matter what. No matter if something happens to him or not, he knew that his new friends could continue on if the worst should happen.
