SCARING PROSHITTERS ONE POST AT A TIME.

This Rider is a historian, thus earning the name "Kamen Raidaa No Rekishiya/Historian of the Kamen Riders". He is a fierce and serious individual, though is very respectful towards his fellow Riders, especially to those that have had the biggest influence on his personal life (like Eiji, for example). His color palette is matte black, various shades of metallic brown (bronze and copper), and spots of metallic gray (like gunmetal).

His primary design basis is Legend (Reiwa) and Shin movie Ichigo+Nigo (Showa) (as in, the trench coat). His visor is akin to Zi-O, though he has a fedora like Skull (Heisei 2nd half). His form and attack card (or in this case, page) storage are more or less Decade's, as the storage is that of a book, while the transformation device itself is akin to Kuuga and Agito (Heisei 1st half).

His sword would be based on a fountain pen. Might have forms representing all forms of history (prehistory+ancient (super: light), classical+post-classical (upgrade), modern+contemporary (default (does NOT equal base)), secret (super: dark), future (technically impossible), and beginning+end (final)).

Everything is labeled as such....

Forms = Chapters (Excluding base form, 5 others in total, 6 if you include the theorically impossible future form, before eventually becoming only 2 other (default and final))

Attacks = Pages (includes weapon (sword and shield/barrier) and vehicle summoning and weapon techniques, so only 3 summon pages, but several technique pages in total)

Finishers = Sentences (4 in total. 2 standard ones, which are the Rider Slash and Rider Kick, and 2 special ones, with the Rider Break belonging to the Rider Machine only and the other finisher being for combination with other finisher (either his own or other Riders'))

Unsure of what motorcycle to use for his rider machine. He would basically be the Rider meant to set other Riders back on the righteous path and reveal their true nature (i.e.: Setting Sougo back down a path of justice by revealing Ohma Zi-O's true nature) and making sure that history doesn't get meddled with (i.e.: Stopping Swartz, Imagin, and even certain fans and creators).

Everyone has gained an "us or them" mentality, either without even realizing or outright REFUSING to acknowledge that there are innocent people caught in the crossfire of their idiot governments' petty conflicts and horrific actions.

But no. Apparently, EVERYONE related to a specific country has to suffer, even the innocents who want NOTHING to do with their government's crimes.

Isn't THIS the kind of extremism we are SUPPOSED to be preventing and critisizing against?

He is a fusion between Atem's Forbidden Memories counterpart (silent protagonist in the form of selectively mute, not to mention Atem's wonderfully wild hair) and Timaeus (overall physical appearance, scar, age, hair color, and abilities with a few slight tweaks to make him feel more unique). Name has been chosen: Issen (一戦), which means "battle", "game", and "bout".

So, Issen is Yugi's uncle (father's side of the family and the younger son of Solomon). He's not on speaking terms with his brother (due to potential absence from Yugi's life), but often sees Yugi's mother as the sister he never got. Would do anything to protect them…which is concerning, as his family is worried for his wellbeing, due to past experiences. He often regrets these past experiences, as he feels that all he's done is worry his family, not help them.

He is facinated with ancient history and mythology, reading as much material as he can. Yugi and Solomon have told him stories about Atem and, while Issen struggles to believe it, he trusts them enough to know that something DID happen. He knows that Yugi's quite attached to Atem and was affected by Atem's passing, offering comfort when he believes Yugi needs it. He often wishes to meet Atem somehow, having a strong opinion on the young pharaoh….

He likes Yugi's friends enough to talk to them, though he does NOT trust Seto Kaiba, after hearing about him. He is very grateful that Yugi's friends can provide his nephew with support and comfort, especially in situations where Yugi's family are either unable to do so or don't know how. He admittedly kinda hates Seto…and Seto's attitude only gives him more reason to hate him, even if someone would tell him of Seto's own backstory.

So, this is an idea that's been bugging me recently. This is a Gundam universe that's inspired by the Makai armors of the tokusatsu franchise Garo. Yes, Garo, Kamen Rider, and Gridman are tokusatsu franchises, not mecha. Get it right (Banpresto certainly doesn't).

Basics

So, this universe has discovered magic. As such, convensional technology has been traded for more enviornment-friendly methods. Similar to Guilty Gear. Humanity doesn't colonize the cosmos like in other universes, due to the sheer impracticality of it. Technology that would normally give the other Gundam universe the big win is, at most, just barely strong enough to contend with this universe. Our protagonist(s) calls it 1: an unfathomable over-reliance on technology and 2: lacking faith.

For the newcomers, the Mobile Suits/Armors are the mecha of the Gundam franchise. In this universe though, they are actual suits of armor, with the mobile armors being the predecessors to the mobile suits (ala IBO). The Armors are more similar to the traditional mecha of the franchise, being as big and destructive as them, if not more. The Suits are more like the armors from GARO, being human-sized, faster, more agile, and primarily focused in melee combat, as well as mostly based on animals.

The Gundams here are both, like the original RX-78-2, a specifically named suit and, much like later iterations, a specific type of suit. The Gundam and its successors are meant to be Suits representing the hope of the future, fighting for it regardless of a violent past and an uncertain present. That are strictly long-sword focused and, while there are plenty of imitators due to how much of a significance they have on this universe and its populace, there are only 13 true Gundams (and 1 prototype).

These things were made by a group of people, the first being used by one individual and then the succeeding Gundam would be used by the individual's successor. However, some believe that it's not a group, but a single individual using these things through various incarnations of their life. This leads to various conspiracy theories and debates regarding the Gundams' user(s) and even the user(s) themself allude to the possibility of all 13 Gundam users being the same person, while still being very cryptic.

This continuous consciousness idea applies to the Gundams as well, for some people theorize the Gundam line to be sentient in some way and with a single consciousness. The Gundams will often act of their own in times of great need and have the same voice and personality when shown; that of Ryosei Konishi, who portrays as Kouga Saejima: The original GARO protagonist from 2005 and GARO's main universe.

The Gundams do have a steed. A transformable and (confirmed to be) sentient one based on the White Base, transforming from a pegasus to a motorcycle, named Shirouma. He functions as both Gouten AND Zaruba from Garo, even voiced by Zaruba's Japanese/original VA: Hironobu Kageyama of JAM Project. He is equally cryptic regarding his true nature and that of the Gundams and their users.

Arcadia definition: An idyllic, pastoral paradise characterized by peaceful, simple, and rural life, often representing a utopian vision of harmony with nature.

So, this is a take on Arcee from Skybound as a Prime, instead of Elita.

From what I understand, the Matrix in Skybound doesn't SEEM to have the same rules as it does in other universes, where it chooses someone who is worthy. As such, for this idea, this Matrix works based on its "Choose One Who's Worthy" rule in other universe.

During Optimus and Elita's "duel". Arcee (who's Magnus atp) steps and breaks up the fight before the Matrix can be torn from Optimus's chest. She then explains how ridiculous and foolish it is for the Autobots to be fighting amongst themselves in general, let alone over leadership.

Elita criticizes Arcee for this, claiming that Opitmus has abandoned Cybertron for Earth and willing to let Cybertron die. Arcee can't deny that Optimus is prioritizing Earth over Cybertron, before explaining that it's because Optimus has seen the bigger picture of the war. That the war will not stop at Cybertron, that the war will consume the entire universe, so Earth should be worth defending too.

Despite Arcee give Optimus the hope that he made the right call in staying on Earth, it can't restore the will that has been broken. He gives up the Matrix, before handing it to Arcee. Arcee, stunned by this, asks if Optimus is truly making the right choice. Optimus doesn't say anything, onlying giving a sad and tired expression. Arcee, ultimately, takes up the mantle of Prime, becoming Arcadia Prime.

I have two choices in regards to alt modes for Arcadia Prime. She could transform only into an attack helicopter (akin to the Mil Mi-26) or she could be like the Thrilling 30 Springer toy, who has an armored car and helicopter mode (though I feel like that's Springer's entire gimmick). Either way, she'd have the color scheme of her TFP counterpart.

A lot of characters are, expectedly, stunned by this too. And some not really thrilled by this. Arcadia makes it clear that she will not let the Prime mantle become corrupted by the war any longer and has Optimus take Carly (and Spike, if he was present) away from the Autobots for now. Cliffjumper joins Optimus as well.

Now that Optimus, Cliffjumper, and the humans are out of harm's way, Arcadia admits that Optimus is too kind for his own good, yet knows that it's what make him a hero and loved by so many. That kindness and compassion made the Autobots greater than what they could've been.

Elita claims that Optimus's mercy has only dragged the war on and has made them weaker. Arcadia says that while he would probably be a more effective military leader, he wouldn't be Optimus...just a stranger in his image. Arcadia then says that she fears that the war has consumed Elita entirely, leaving only a stranger in her image.

Arcadia then gives two choices. Either stay and prevent the Decepticons from destroying another world and species as they did Cybertron or leave and continue the war on Cybertron. She then makes it clear that fighting amongst each other is out of the question.

So, this is an OC that repurposes the Nemesis Prime and Shattered Glass colors. He is, much like the two characters he's based on, Optimus's dark mirror double. HOWEVER, he only exists as another personality of Optimus, born as a result of serious trauma and near-death experiences (the latter of which Optimus is known for).

He is violent and aggressive, but he only wants to protect Optimus and knows that neither of them can exist without each other. He still shares the same love for life, the Autobots, and Earth like Optimus, but his methods of protecting them can be described as AGGRESSIVE VIGILANTISM and, in regards to the Decepticons, VERY monstrous.

In other words, he's a borderline antihero on levels comparable to Spawn, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Red Hood, and even Superboy-Prime. He's not evil, but he IS very misguided due to 1: what he believes is the best method to respond to trauma and attacks and 2: his very purpose; to protect Optimus and his allies by any means.

I’m thinking of the name “Kryptos Vindictus” or "Kryptos Thymós" (Hidden (Greek) Avenged (Latin) or Hidden Rage (all Greek) in English). His appearance using the SG and Nemesis Prime colors are purely his personal preferences and a means for him to help others differentiate between him and Optimus.

Due to his nature as a personality, there is no real cosmetic differences between him and Optimus, hence why he deliberately changes the color scheme of Optimus's body when he's in control. Though if he had his own distinct design, it would be the early 2000s' Classics/Henkei mold of Optimus Prime.
