Rider Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider Barghest
Henshin Device/Sequence: A belt made of silver in the shape of a snarling dog on a black belt made out of short black fur. When he henshins the dog growls for a short second, then its mouth opens letting out a bark. The eyes light up in red.

The rider then throws back his head and howl. Once transformation is complete he leans forward into a hunching bestial crouch.

Forms:

• Form Name: Barghest (Basic Form)
  Appearance: A black leather biker suit with black gloves(one piece). Over everything he wears a ankle length leather overcoat.
  Barghest's mask is that of a long snout dog. Two pointed ears stretch behind his head. Two deep slits on the side of it's head form empty eyes that look down a lack snout. It's mouth grins showing jaws full of silver teeth.
  
  Weapons and Abilities: The Barghest basic form augments the rider's abilities to superhuman capacity.
  Finisher(s): Bite of the damned: Barghest's uses his jaws to bite into his opponent, leaving a mark on his soul. Barghest can smell the mark thanks to his heightened olfactory.
  
• Form Name: Hand of Ebon
  Appearance: A glove made of pure ebony. It stretches from the elbow down. The grain of the wood is clearly visible. Every groove is filled arcane markings. The palm of the hand is engraved with a pentacle filled with six symbols of satanic binding. The tips of each finger are claws made crystal.
  Transformation: When Barghest reaches into a shadow with his right arm he calls out "Fist of Darkness". The shadows circle his arm and forms the Hand of Ebon.
  Weapons and Abilities: The Hand doesn't give the wearer any particular change except his right arm can interact with ghosts. When activated the Rider adapts his fighting style, using only his right arm to fight.
  Finisher(s): The Hand's 'Banishing' move. He makes the signed of The Mano Cornuto (the horned hand). He then plunges it into the ghost, banishing it into the underworld.
  
  
• Form Name: Greaves of Lucia
  Appearance: A pair of boots made of an indestructible metal called 'Sun Steel'. The tops of the boots are decorated with the face of Lucia, the Saint of the Light. Her face head is crowned with five rays spikes of metal symbolizing the light.
  Transformation: The rider back flips into the air calling out "Power of the Light". No matter where he is, or when, (night or day) as he lands rays of light pierce the air and wrap around his legs and form the Greaves.
  Weapons and Abilities: When used against normal foes the boots merely ensure stronger attacks with his legs. When used against Vampires, the boots cause devastating damage, sometimes causing entire body parts to disintegrate.
  Finisher(s): The greatest move granted by the greaves is the rider kick. The rider kneels down on one knee and brings up the other (often the left one) up in a swift movement, connecting with the opponents abdomen or sometimes under the chin, killing the enemy instantly.
  
  
• Form Name: Arm of the Forsaken
  Appearance: The upper part of the arm looks like an ordinary skeleton, the lower part resembles that of grenade launcher made of bone ending in a skull. Potruding from the jaws of the skull is a blac barrel tipped with a bone white bayonnet.
  Transformation: The rider whips his arm backwards cracking its bones.As the bones break the rider cries out 'The Arm of the Dead'. When the arm whips back the bones from within expand through the skin and reform the Arm.
  Weapons and Abilities: The arm is has two settings. Red eyes, rapid fire setting similar to that of a assaul rifle. Green eye, a single high powered shot is fired exploding on impact. The Arm itself is extremely effective against all opponents but above all against zombies.
  
  
• Form Name:Gwyllgi, the beast of Darkness
  Appearance: A large black dog/wolf with red eyes standing two meters tall.
  Transformation: When all the three pieces of his armor are in place, Barghest throws his head back and howls. His mask bulges to life, turning from metal to fur. The rider's entire body change into a corded beast.
  Weapons and Abilities: The rider becomes an unstoppable beast of destruction. Although the rider looses the ability to use any of his armor's different pieces his strength is becomes unmatchable. But in exchange the rider looses control of himself and his ability to think like a human, judge, and intelligence. Small remnants of his sub-conscious and emotions can surface if stimulated.
  

Other Equipment: A black Jesse James Dominator motorcycle. Various medical equipment.

Inside Stuff
Personality: Quiet. Calm. Poised. Almost never surprised. He keep his face in a neutral expression. Rarely ever shows emotions.
Strengths:

• Never gives up.
  
• Robin feels the need to protect everyone. Even those that may not deserve it.
  

Weaknesses:

• Robin feels the need to give his life for anyone. Since he believes his soul is damned, he feels he has nothing to live for.
  
• Robin avoids human contact, he feels a certain sense of emptiness around others.
  
• When faced saving a life and ending an undead 'life' he will choose ending the undead.
  
• He doesn't value life, not even his own. Killing the undead ends their suffering, in way his own 'undeadness' may never end.
  

History: Barghest is the black dog. The bringer of death. He makes sure those who are meant to be dead, stay dead. London has been overrun by the undead, in all its forms. Zombies, Vamps, and ghost (to name a few) have risen. Each one needs the life force of a human to stay alive.

Robin Jarvis, mortician, has seen first hand what these creatures can do to the living. He himself has become the victim of one such undead monster. Once the creature had passed, leaving Robin soulless and broken, he was rescued by a black dog, come to take him to the underworld. The dog gave his soul, the soul of a reaper, to continue living...and to bring justice.

The dog changed Robin's life. Letting him see things that he couldn't before. Souls. The souls of the living and those of the damned. Robin now uses his new found 'curse' to find the undead that stalk the streets in search of living souls. The dog's soul speaks to Robin from his sub-conscious teaching him the ways of the reaper. Through his his 'mission' in London he has uncovered various artifacts hidden by various occultist from times past. He uses these ancients weapons to protect London.
Anything Else: Robin, feels a profound darkness inside himself. He doesn't live to save lives, just to put to rest those who haven't found peace. He hopes that one day he can find someone that can end his existence. Killing other undeads is hi way of pleasing the black dog, in hopes that when he dies, IF he dies, it will let his soul free.
Sample RP:

Somewhere over here...

The Dominator cruised into the alley through the rain. He removed his helmet as he rose from the low seat of the bike. His pale face flushing under the cold rain as he walked slowly down the alley, the cement crunchy beneath his feet.

Farther down a box fell off a dumpster. Robin tensed at the sound. The rain parted as if something invisible moved through it. Almost as if charging towards him.

When it did reach where Robin was standing, the force of the invisible thing threw him back against his motorcycle. Robin groaned as he realized that would leave a mark....

A howling sound filled the alley as the thing zigzagged back and forth in the rain.

Robin pulled himself to his feet cursing.

"You piece of ectoplasm filth. I saw what you did to that family. Now you'll be at peace and so will their souls."

He threw his riding jacket onto his bike revealing a fur covered belt with a snarling dog on the front of it.

"HENSHIN!"

The dog's face growled deeply before letting out a short bark. Shadows erupted from the belt in strands of black ribbons wrapping around Robin's crouched form, changing him into Kamen Rider Barghest.

Now that he had wore his armor Robin could 'see' the ghost thanks to his heightened olfactory. The undead creature had the form of a woman wrapped in chains, twisting her body into something out of man's worst nightmares.

Barghest growled from behind his dog mask. He plunged his arm straight into the shadows.

" Fist of Darkness!" When he removed his arm is was sheathed with Hand of Ebon.

Barghest threw himself through the air amid his twirling trenchcoat, his arm stretched before him.

"Heaven nor hell may not want you, but you no longer have the right to walk in this world!"

Ooh, this sounds interesting, I like it so far. Maybe add a bit more to his description? (height, race, accent, etc.). I'll review it more scrutinous ... ly? (is that a word?) When it's all there.

Ooh, minor coding shiz.
[b]Name:Robin Jarvis[/b]
Name:Robin Jarvis

It should look like this:
[b]Name:[/b]Robin Jarvis
Name:Robin Jarvis

[Robin Jarvis]

Gotcha on those code corrections.

I guess I'll embellish his description later.

And yes, I think that's a word.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

They should all be on one post, I've moved that last one for you but for future reference if you need to add to your profile then go to "Modify" and add it where you want it.

You've also confused me a little, when he transforms what exactly does he transform into? Does he have a rider form and the weapons are added to that, or does he just use the weapons as a normal human?

They do sound good though, it's a very interesting concept.

[Robin Jarvis]

OK OK. I've finished Kamen Rider Barghest.

He's up and done. I've also cleaned up my useless and annoying post.

So, what do you guys think?

[Ren Nakamura]

It looks good to me. I'll await Cross, though, seeing as I'm not in charge.

[Suzie Miyazaki]

Aye it looks brilliant (A grenade launcher made of bones is the single most badass thing I've ever heard of in my life ...) but you have missed out the entire Inside Stuff section. So I've copied that into the profile and shifted the History to there, if you wouldn't mind filling out his strengths weaknesses, personality and anything else you missed then we can approve you.

Nearly finished, good luck!

[Robin Jarvis]

Gotcha. Well there we go!

[Suzie Miyazaki]

I have only one word to say about this character.
That word is: Approved!
