Overview:
Katsu is a very shy young woman who wants to make friends, who hates herself for being shy and being mostly friendless. But the hate she has for her own status doesn’t do much for her self esteem, which is low as it is. As a child she was born early, so she’s had health problems which continue to persist to this day at times, so she’s not in the best of health. She’s smart, and a good artist, having those going for her at least, but she’s been thrust into a terrible position. She wants to get rid of the Arc of Kaitos, but doesn’t know how. It scares her, and she thinks it’ll stop her from making friends, which she desperately wants and feels she needs, so she won’t continue to be alone.

Hero Stuff
Name: “Kamen Rider” Rise
Type Of Hero: “Kamen Rider”
Henshin Device: Arc of Kaitos; a gray colored belt that appears ancient. It’s smooth and doesn’t move, almost appearing to be made of stone. It widens at the front to hold a deep blue stone inside of it. Lines come out from it along the belt itself, resonating pale violet.
Henshin Sequence: The Arc of Kaitos appears on her waist, either at her command, or on its own, as it has a habit of doing that when she doesn’t want it to. It can either just transform her, or she can use a (pointless) henshin stance. She just doesn’t have a stance yet.
Forms:

• Form Name: Rise (base form)
  Image/ Description: Appears as a white and pale violet figure. She appears partially insect-like. Her feet appear with violet coverings over the tops of them, otherwise they are white and boot-like, coming up to a bit below the knees until violet trim ends the “boot”. Her knees have gold armor over them, while from then up she’s wearing pure white, with a pale violet skirt hanging down. At times her empty white limbs can be perceived to have some pale violet dancing around them.
  
  Then she has her belt, and coming up she has a flat stomach with swirling violet patterns across it. She has a pronounced chest of white, with a violet line running over the center of each breast as part of the motif of the torso. She has more armor from a bit above her naval up around the top of her torso, rather than the more spandex-like look of the rest. Her shoulders have rounded armor that appears to flow naturally into the body, with violet arcs along the armor. Her arms are white, and like the legs, occasionally show violet marks. Her elbows have gold covering, and she wears gauntlets, as evidenced by the backs of her hands having a slight ridge, like a gauntlet or glove would, with pale violet running down them, to nearly her elbows. From her elbows she has slight ridges of armor rising up and back.
  
  She has a red scarf that comes down in two tails down her back, tied off at her neck, surrounded by slight ridges of white and violet armor. Her head appears almost like a helmet in some ways. She has a mouth piece with some semblance of a mouth, and then a real helmet-like appearance along the rest, curling around her head in a smooth white design, with violet running around the mouth area, and then on the slightly overlapping helmet part, and around her eyes, which are a pale violet, closer to white than the otherwise used pale violet color. In the center of her forehead she has a small crown rising up from where her nose would be, coming up into two small golden prongs that curl upwards just above her eyes.
  
  Overall her armor is sleek with a nice mixture of the spandex-like armor of most Riders, and armor that flows seamlessly into it. Her figure and form can be taken as impressive and likely heroic looking, but she doesn’t know what to do with it.
  Motif: Insect
  Color Scheme: White, pale violet, gold, red
  Transformation: See above
  Fighting Style: As Rise, she can’t do much. She’s not a good fighter by any means. She often ends up becoming dizzy and just sees that the fight is over. She believes that the Arc takes over control.
  Weapons: None
  Abilities: Increased strength, resilience, senses, limited energy-based attacks. She’s not sure of the entire range of ability she has.
  Finisher(s): Kaitos Aurora: the stone in the center of the Arc of Kaitos erupts into brilliant light, cloaking her body. She can perform a punch or kick, or really any physical contact to mark the end to a fight.
  
  
• Form Name: Rise ~ Luminous
  Image/ Description: She retains the same basic form as before, however, the violet lines running over her body are more spread out in whirling patterns and ancient runes of various past civilizations. Her armor also grows over more of the spandex-like body, but often doesn’t circle around to make a connection; it just hangs there and comes down like an armored skirting, though it’s solid enough not to move as she moves.
  
  Her shoulder armor goes from being rounded to curling up slightly, and coming up off the sides of the shoulder into slight points of gold, with gold trim now running around the shoulder pads. Her scarf becomes a silvery blue color, and the two tails hang down much farther now, almost constantly in motion, with deep silver markings glittering across them.
  
  On her forehead her crown emblem has grown. It is now two pronged on each side, with the larger prong being at the very outside of the eyes, with a short prong just inside, around the center area above the eye.
  
  The central stone of the Arc of Kaitos is also changed in color to silver.
  Motif: Insect, light
  Color Scheme: White, pale violet, gold, silver, silvery blue
  Transformation: The Arc of Kaitos glows, letting brilliant light out, and then becomes silver in color. Her body transforms in a wave motion, becoming this form.
  Fighting Style: Once more, she doesn’t know how to fight. Though now that she has a weapon she focuses on trying to hit a foe from a range.
  Weapons: Rod of the Stars; a short golden rod or staff weapon. The shaft is only about a foot long, with a rounded tip with runes engraved on the end. Around the top of the shaft, before the rounded end, a twisted band runs around, ending in two wing patterns on either side. They don’t project out very far. Atop them are stars that streak down into the wing patterns, giving it the name. It can unleash blasts of silvery energy that seems stricken with stars due to the glowing it gives off.
  Abilities: Increased strength, resilience, senses, limited energy-based attacks. She’s not sure of the entire range of ability she has. Now that she’s obtained a new form, she’s also faster and has her senses boosted as well.
  Finisher(s): Kaitos Aurora: the stone in the center of the Arc of Kaitos erupts into brilliant light, cloaking her body. She can perform a punch or kick, or really any physical contact to mark the end to a fight.
  
  Star Shine: she focuses the power of the Arc of Kaitos into her Rod of the Stars, unleashing a combined attack of the power of the Arc and the power of the Rod in order to destroy the enemy with pure shining power.

Katsu was born to middle class parents, her father an office worker and her mother a school teacher. She was born about a month early, and had many health problems as a result starting at a young age. She didn’t go to school until she was six because of her health problems, missing out on preschool and daycares and things of the sort. Her first school experience was in her mother’s class, but she couldn’t make friends. She was too shy to talk to them, and when they talked to her, she couldn’t talk back to them, really. Her mother tried to help, but it didn’t work, as Katsu couldn’t talk to them to keep a relationship with any student, so she became a bit of an outcast among her classmates.

As the school years went by this remained a constant. She had no friends, only the occasional people she would talk to. As a result she started to draw from about her second year in school, becoming good over the years, finding that the paper was her only friend. Her artistic skills didn’t net her any friends. It did draw interest, but again, she couldn’t keep them due to her shyness.

When she entered high school she had about one friend, but was still unable to keep up her end, and lost that friend. This hurt her a lot. She finally had a friend, and couldn’t keep her. She went through her first year at AGHS without any friends. Interest and people trying to be friendly, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

During that summer she tried to meet people. She decided to change, but nothing. Even when she could talk to people, she couldn’t do enough. Her health problems started to return more often in this summer, as they had always plagued her. But the worst of it this summer. She was stuck inside most of the time, and would just draw. She got better shortly before her next year began.

Now in her second year of high school at AGHS, she’s friendless and still trying to get over her shyness, mostly self-inflicted she knows.

One day she came home from school and passed out, probably from her sicknesses again. But when she woke up and looked in the mirror she saw that her eyes had changed color, and she looked paler. As it would turn out, at some point along her way home she had passed by the dormant Arc of Kaitos, which had reached out and attached itself to her spiritually. It had caused her to pass out, and had physically bonded with her; body and soul.

One other day when coming home she had watched in horror as she became Rise. As it turned out there was a creature nearby, and it had attacked. She had been beaten severely, but had blacked out and found it dead when she woke minutes later. Rise had taken control of itself.

Frightened of whatever this power is, she tried never to use it and just go on with her life.

Sample RP:

As she was battered around, her vision started to darken. If…if I’m unconscious I’ll die…

She was hit again, a few more times.

I don’t want to die…

And again. And her death came as she lost consciousness.

But she regained it. It didn’t kill her. No. She looked around, finding the remains of the creature, and looked at herself. Her body was still…whatever that belt had done to it. She was still transformed as that…that thing.

And when it faded she didn’t know what to do but run. Run home and push her head into her pillow and cry. She didn’t know what was happening, but she didn’t like it. She knew that much. So she cried.
