Civvie Stuff
Name: Sara Slade
Age: 25
Sex: Female
Nationality: America
Occupation: Former Nun
Species: Human
Celebrity Claim: Amanda Seyfried
Hair color/style: Long Blonde Hair
Eyes: Green
Description: Sara's long blonde hair, piercing green eyes and curvaceous figure all combine to an incredibly attractive woman. Even more so when she accentuates her natural beauty with close to skin tight outfits that she favours for reasons she refuses to discuss. It's quite startling to many to realize that she was once a nun and in fact still lives her life as though she was one.

Hero Stuff
Name: Caretaker of Ghost Rider I
Type Of Hero: Caretaker
Weapons and Abilities: Telepathic communication with the other caretakers, a pair of holy swords given to her by the Mother of her convent before she left.

Other Equipment:

• A motorcycle
  
• A bible, rosary and crucifix
  

Inside Stuff
Personality: Since she was raised in the confines of a secret convent hidden in the Rocky Mountains having only left in the last five years she is quite naive to the ways of the world. This when combined with her vows to the Catholic church give her a rather sheltered seeming sense. She is incredibly uncomfortable with any degree of sexuality and will under no circumstances take human life, and will not even hurt them if she has any other options at all. Despite everything else though she is a woman of true faith and trusts that as long as she does the best she can with her charges that things will work out for her in the end.

Strengths:

• A woman of strong faith that will not waver even under the knowledge that Heaven is falling to Azrael and Zadikel.
  
• A surprisingly good fighter when she has to be.
  
• Knowledgeable of the various types of Kaijin and the Riders out in the world
  

Weaknesses:

• Dedicated technical pacifist. Under no circumstances will she take a human (or former human in the case of Orpencach, Dopants, Shocker Cyborgs and the like) and will do almost anything short of allowing herself or innocent people to be killed or seriously hurt to avoid hurting them in anyway.
  
• Very naive and trusting of strangers. This trait almost got her killed when she first left the convent before even becoming a full Caretaker.
  
• Very shy and awkward around men due to not seeing them much at all while in the convent aside from the occasional visiting Priest or Bishop.
  

History: Sister Sara Slade was the Granddaughter of Ezekiel Slade himself the Grandson of former Rider Carter Slade. Ezekiel was himself has retired from being a Caretaker when his son was born but when his boy grew up and had a family of his own later a group of Grongi seeking revenge on Slade came and killed his son and daughter in law. Ezekiel and Danny Ketch managed to save Sara though. Ezekiel knowing that his Granddaughter would never be safe with him left her anonymously at a Convent. Sara grew up in the convent and became well known among the sisters for her unwavering faith and seriousness with which she took her duties. On her nineteenth birthday she started having visions of the men with flaming skulls battling over a the Sahara desert. At first she was confused about these strange visions until the Mother Superior explained to her that she had been blessed by God to be the guide to his champions in the coming storm. She was sent out to the hidden convent in the Rocky Mountains where they trained her to fight and to better harness her psychic abilities of visions and limited telepathic communication.

When she was twenty she was sent out into the world to find the champions she was meant to guide. The night before she left she had received visions of an old man she just knew to be her Grandfather dying at the hands of one of those skull faced warriors. She followed her visions to Georgia where she found her Grandfather's home consumed by Hellish flames and the two warriors from her visions battling in the fields. She managed to pull her Grandfather from the fire but he was almost dead, before he died though he lamented that she had now become part of a life he never wanted for her but if it truly was her path she'd have to know more. He sent her into the basement of the burning shack to get a book. She did as she was instructed and got the book, one touch was all she needed for it to psychically transfer all the knowledge of the Riders and Caretakers into her. The book and Ezekiel Slade were both lost to the fire. Sara better understanding her powers understood that she was to help Johnny Blaze defeat his brother Danny Ketch and liberate Heaven. She was able to help him kill Danny but Heaven was an unreachable task. Dismayed about killing his own brother Johnny parted ways with Sara trying to put his place as the Ghost Rider behind him. It didn't last of course and now that he is active once more Sara is seeking him out to try and aid him in his battles once more.

Anything Else: Yeah it's darkblade.

Sample RP:

New York, New York, Sara had heard a lot about this city. Everyone had heard a lot about this city. Of course most of them hadn't heard that the reason the Statue of Liberty was in pieces now was a battle between a Shocker cyborg Rider and a divinely empowered Rider. It was that divine agent that Sara wanted to find again. It was her duty to aid him even if Johnny Blaze blames her for his brother's death.

She parks her bike outside of the recovery site. A security guard comes over to see her.

"Civilians aren't allowed to be here." He says approaching Sara.

"Please sir, I'm looking for my friend. He's lost his way and was here when the terrorist struck. I worry ever so much for him." She says looking towards the ground.

"Alright, there was a guy seen here when the bloke who did this ran off. Some has been biker was seen making a break for it and heading South. That's probably your man." The guard says holding out his hand evidently expecting something for his trouble.

This information fills Sara with far too much joy for something so simple. "Thank you ever so much. May the Lord Bless you in your every endeavour."

She remounts her bike and rides South hunting for Johnny Blaze again.

The guard simply looks at the fleeing woman dumb founded and mutters under his breathe.. "Stupid broad."

Name: Sam Jenkins
Age: 54
Sex: Male
Nationality: America
Occupation: Former FBI Agent. Owner of a Game store in Chicago
Species: Human
Celebrity Claim: Bruce Cambell
Hair colour/style: A short comb over of greying hair that barely serves the purpose of covering up the bald spots.
Eyes: Brown
Description: Sam is quite evidently past his prime in every sense none the less he's still bigger than average and fairly cunning when he needs to be. In recent years he has taken a rather distressing fondness for vibrantly coloured Hawaiian shirts. He also tends to have a tiny beard of stubble that never seems to go away no matter how recently he shaved.

Hero Stuff
Name: Caretaker of New Den-O
Type Of Hero: Caretaker
Weapons and Abilities: The ability to telepathically communicate with other Caretakers. A general assortment of legal personal firearms all registered and licensed.

Other Equipment:

• A large amount of cellphones, due to his FBI training he knows well how to modify them into listening and tracking devices if given an hour or two.
  
• A beat up old Ford Tempo.
  

Inside Stuff
Personality: Sam is incredibly jaded about the world. He's seen too many good people go before their time and too much evil triumphing. Due to how recently his Caretaker powers manifested he is still a bit distrusting of the more fantastic elements of the world around him. Especially the completely illogical Imagin like the those that his charge Adam Jonas has to deal with in order to access his powers.

Strengths:

• Cunning, thirty years as an FBI detective left Sam with quite a bit of strategic cunning.
  
• Well connected among law enforcement.
  
• A capable marksman when it comes down to a fight.
  

Weaknesses:

• Rather reluctant to accept the existence of magical and other unusual beings and heavily distrusting of them when he is forced to believe in them.
  
• He's old and a bit out of shape so not able to keep up with younger characters in the heat of the moment.
  
• Finds it harder and harder to believe in heroes these days.
  

History:

Sam joined the FBI almost right after High School. As a Nephew to Fresno Bob of the Scorpion Cartel he was sent right into undercover ops. He acted as an insider in the Cartel for ten years before his cover was finally blown and he was pulled out. His timing couldn't have been better because it got him out of Corinth just in time to avoid the Venjix siege. He spent most of the next twenty years with a cushy desk job that left him unfulfilled. That was until a case passed his desk detailing a family that every generation seemed to have a member turned to dust. He went in to investigate this matter himself and came to see a side of the world he didn't know existed the world of the secret wars of Riders, Rangers and monsters in the shadows. In pursuit of the case he came to find creatures called Imagin using the family to become material beings and to merge with the past times, the family was every generation sacrificing a member to Imagin to maintain their wealthy status. His own weapons were unable to hurt the creatures but he saw someone who could the masked warrior known as Den-O. He left the case as unsolved and tried to put the whole thing behind him hoping to not get involved in that world ever again.

He eventually went on to retire with a generous pension. A few years later he started having strange dreams about some kid wearing armour similar to Den-O's. He did a little digging with his contacts as to what was happening to him and discovered the Caretakers and the Riders beyond Den-O. He understood his dreams to be visions and that he was chosen to guide the new hero to wield the powers of Den-O and to do that he'd have to open up a game shop in Chicago. While he was initially against the idea Sam did purchase the store and hired Adam Jonas on sight helping him from the shadows in his battles as the New Den-O.

Sample RP:

The biggest problem of being the Caretaker of a Den-O rider is that they are almost never around. Spending so much time running around time and space does that. Which means that Sam Jenkins spends a heck of a lot of time just working this Game Shop he just opened as a cover to get close enough to Jonas to be able to help him.

A pair of well dressed men stepped into the shop and looked over Sam a little. Their lower faces become a mesh of tinted glass as they smile wickedly. "You are the one who aids the Rider?"

"You aren't Imagin." Sam says reaching for a shotgun he has stashed under the table. God bless the second amendment. "Now how about you getting out of here before you blow my cover to the kid?"

The fangires laugh as they shift their forms. Sam just sighs as he blasts them with his shotgun and surprisingly it works dropping one of the fangires. "To think I made fun of Kido for suggesting that I mix garlic powder into the rock salt. Now get out before you join your friend."

Hero Stuff
Name: Caretaker of Kiva
Type Of Hero: Caretaker
Weapons and Abilities: Telepathic communication with the other Caretakers.

Other Equipment:

• A beat up 85' Honda Accord
  
• A selection of kitchen appliances
  
• A shotgun loaded with custom slugs designed to hurt fangires.
  
• Sayuri, his aging pet Pug
  

Inside Stuff
Personality: Akira Kido is a rather kind aging man who was quite content with his now quiet life. His time as a Caretaker was supposed to be over with the new IXA in London and Wataru's sudden passing. He is a bit reluctant to step up to the roll again for the new Kiva but he knows better than to not listen to the call. He has an unusual obsession with his body fat percentage and the Onyanko Club an idol group from the 80s.

Strengths:

• Makes the best coffee in Japan, according to at least one demonic wolf.
  
• Knows a lot more than he seems to.
  
• Very good with Dogs.
  

Weaknesses:

• Do not insult his coffee, it is a good way to get on his bad side.
  
• Despite his obsession with his body fat he is not in very good shape.
  
• Is a little bit too trusting of people who drink his coffee.
  

History:

In the early eighties Akira received visions of himself serving coffee to a violin playing night who defended Japan from vampire like creatures he knew to be called Fangires. He knew something was going to change in his life and he was eventually found by the other Caretakers who explained what his dreams meant. He was to be the Caretaker to Kamen Rider IXA the Auzora Association's new weapon against the Fangires. He started helping the Association in hopes of meeting the man destined to be IXA. At the time Auzora has three field agents in Japan, Jiro who would later turn out to be a Wolf demon, Yuri Aso who's mother built the IXA system before she was the victim of one of Rook's random games and Kurenai Otoya a eccentric violinist. While all three of them would use the IXA system over the next year it was Otoya who was assigned to be the primary wielder of it. He helped Otoya where he could even as he eventually fell in love with the Fangire Queen Maya. Ultimately Otoya would die killing the Fangire King (a title then passed on to Damian Drake) after impregnanting Maya with his son Wataru.

Wataru would grow up to become Kamen Rider Kiva another Rider that Akira took it upon himself to look out for. He set out on a quest to bring peace between humans and Fangires and had some minor success even briefly driving out Fangires loyal to the Checkmate Four out of Japan before he suddenly passed away in his sleep. Akira did not know it at the time but Wataru left behind a daughter who would take up his legacy when she was ready. He has yet to meet Sonoko but he has heard rumours of a new Kiva being in town as well as hearing the sound of the Bloody Rose playing on a few dark nights. If this new Kiva will let him he will aid her in her quest.

Sample RP:

Sayuri howled a little pug howl into the night as Akira closed the Cafe. As he bent down to pick up the dog he heard it. A sound he had not heard for some time but one that could not be forgotten. The sound of steel being driven against a glass like flesh. Someone was out there fighting a fangire.

He pulled the dog back inside and locked the door behind him. As much as he wanted to help he knew he was all but worthless on the front lines. He just sat behind his counter listening to the violence outside when he heard a familar voice call blow a whistle and call out the words "Wake Up." It was Kiva, but it can't be. Wataru died there was no one else who could be.

The sound of broken glass followed by the engines of a bike driving off sounded and Akira went outside to look. Right in the middle of the street was the bat-like symbol of Kiva pressed into the pavement along with a pile of broken glass shards. It was true, there was a new Kiva after all.

Species: Human
Celebrity Claim: Katee Sackhoff
Hair color/style: Short Blonde Hair
Eyes: Dark Green
Description: Samantha can be much more attractive when she bothers to put some effort into it but she rarely does. As it is she looks not too bad but rather unkept and occasionally grease monkey-ish. She has a tattoo of an Egyptian stylized feather on her right arm.

Hero Stuff
Name: Caretaker of Faiz/G3
Type Of Hero: Caretaker
Weapons and Abilities: Telepathic communication with the other caretakers and assorted Tera Venture weapons, due to the timeline disruptions around her she doesn't age normally.


Other Equipment:

• Tools for repairing Rider Corp tech
  

Inside Stuff
Personality: Not one for subtlety Samantha can be incredibly blunt when she has to be or when she wants to be or any time at all really. Belligerent and forceful she will not take no for an answer when she needs something done and will not take any crap from her superiors either as a Caretaker or as a Technician at Rider Corp.

Strengths:

• Amazing with tech, could probably build a Driver in a cave with a box of scraps if she had to.
  
• Not afraid to throw down if need be.
  
• Packing advanced weapons from a timeline that unhappened.
  

Weaknesses:

• Distrustful of all Kajin especially Imagin since they destroyed her home timeline.
  
• A little bit too standoff-ish. Will turn even minor disagreements into full on fights.
  
• Truly nostalgic for Tera Venture and Mirinoi.
  

History:

Samantha Stewart was born on Tera Venture in the year 2587. Tera Venture was a colonization expedition to the recently colonized planet of Mirinoi on the further edges of the galaxy. Despite the efforts of some Alienizer factions and Space Pirates the settlement was successfully established until one day an anthropomorphic scorpion burst out of the President Adama's chest, turning him into dust. The Galactic Rangers that had protected them went to attack the monster but several other similar beings appeared out of major politicians bodies. The Mirinoi colony was overrun and the people evacuated back onto the Tera Venture vessel to return to Earth reporting the mission a failure.

The ship was damaged though and attempts at accessing Hyperspace failed instead depositing them back in the vicinity of Earth in the early 21st Century. A mysterious train flew through the vacuum of space and boarded the vessel, a masked man accompanied by several of those monsters explained what had happened. Their timeline had been destroyed by beings known as Imagin, everyone they ever knew had either died or themselves become Imagin wandering through time as disembodied consciousness with a longing to return to life once more. They had managed to escape against all odds but coming to Earth as they are now would create temporal paradoxes that must be avoided. They were given a choice to either give up their memories and be sent to Earth with new identities or to become members of his organization that would try to prevent something like that from ever occurring ever again.

Samantha joined up with Rider Corp promising to do what she could to prevent than from occurring ever again. He knowledge of tech from over five hundred years in the future made work on the Rider Gear from this era almost trivial, with only the Liners posing any real difficulty in maintenance and she quickly rose to be one of the top technicians in Rider Corp's staff. When Daki brought a young boy back with him who's family had been attacked by Orphenoch she felt sympathy for him and tried to make sure little James could get as much of a good life as he could out of being with Rider Corp. James grew up to be a Rider and Samantha started having visions regarding his battles that she was able to feed little bits of those dreams to him so he was better prepared. She's made contact with the other Caretakers but is still a little hesitant to deal with them for fear of bringing paradoxes that would destroy yet another timeline.

Sample RP:

"What the kind of warzone did Ryotarou drive this thing through?" Samantha asked no one in particular as the DenLiner returned scratched and beaten up.

"Get the G3s in here I want a sweep before we begin checking the damage. I lost five good techs because someone missed a Worm on the DiEndLiner last week." She barked it as an order to security personnel she had no business giving orders to but she did it anyways. Amazingly enough they accept the order and call in the G3s to run a sweep which turns up nothing.

She makes her way to the engine and looks it over. "Alright we got three busted Dilithium Processors, that's going to be a pain to fix. The neutron flow of the flux capacitor is all wrong, it's amazing this thing could even stabilize when he hit the present. We're going to need a good three weeks to put this thing back in working order. Dear Gods I need a drink."

Name: Anno Nomoida
Age: 63
Sex: Male
Nationality: Japanese
Occupation: Former Janitor at Japanese Smart Brain Office
Species: Human
Celebrity Claim: Makoto Iwamatsu
Hair color/style: Greying and balding
Eyes: Light brown
Description: Anno is everything you'd expect from an elderly Japanese man. Short, with a head full of balding nearly white hair. His English is not very good and even when speaking Japanese he speaks incredibly slowly. Despite this though his presence in a room is always felt by all that are present even if he has nothing to say.

Hero Stuff
Name: Caretaker of Delta
Type Of Hero: Caretaker
Weapons and Abilities: Telepathic communication with the other caretakers.

Other Equipment:

• A sparsely furnished apartment in Tokyo
  

Inside Stuff
Personality: Anno is usually as quiet as his appearance would suggest when around strangers but when he has a moment of privacy with him family he changes. When around his family he is much more out going bordering on hammy even at times. He has a strong sense of right and wrong in addition to his duty as a member of society. He doesn't fully approve of his Grandson's relationship with Emily but he out of respect for him he keeps that to himself for the most part.

Strengths:

• Dutiful, will always do his best to complete anything he is tasked with doing.
  
• Strong moral compass.
  
• Incredibly polite
  

Weaknesses:

• Rather old, not able to really keep up with his Grandson at all
  
• Unemployed now that he had to leave his job at Smart Brain.
  
• Too quiet about things that bother him.
  

History: Anno was never very successful. Not due to any inability or lack of initiative on his part though, the main reason why he was unsuccessful was that he was too moral and polite to do anything he thought would hurt someone. As such he lived a simple life going from place to place and job to job as others stepped on him and used him to move ahead in their own lives. Anno never complained though he was happy with his lot in life. He got married and have a son though. Much to his dismay though his son did not take after him. His son was nowhere near as kind hearted and generous as Anno. He would go on to have a son of his own Kyuuta Nomoida but he never treated his family well, even driving his own wife to her death.

It was around the time of the birth of Kyuuta that Anno started to receive him Caretaker visions of a masked warrior on black armour with white streaks across it. It took him many years but he eventually found out about the Riders and his position as a Caretaker but no one knew anything of the Rider he was to work with. He waited almost two decades until while working as a Janitor at a Japanese Smart Brain office he saw a pair of technicians testing a suit of armour that looked like the one in his visions. He was ecstatic to have found the Rider he was supposed to aid but that feeling was short lived. He quickly saw that the owner of armour was not human but a monster he knew from the other Caretakers to be known as a Orphenoch. He thought long and hard about what to do but he eventually decided that the monster could not be the hero he was meant to aid so he stole the belt and stashed it in an outgoing package that coincidentally enough was meant for Kyuuta. He promptly quit his job before he could be traced to the missing belt and phone and went out to search for the Rider.


Sample RP:

Anno sighed as he wandered the streets looking at the many people. He knew one of them had the Delta gear but he didn't know who. It could be anyone from that woman rushing through the market to that burly biker standing outside of a rather ragged looking bar. Maybe he had misjudged the Orphenoch, maybe it wasn't as bad as the others of it's brethren. No it couldn't be it was a human in his visions.

He continued to wander when he heard a familar electronic voice call out "Standing By" and "Complete" it was the Delta Phone and more than that another voice called out the word "Henshin" it was Kyuuta. Anno tried to get a closer look at what was going on but even as his destiny stood on the line he could not bring himself to push through the crowd from behind all these people all he could tell was that Delta, presumably Kyuuta was fighting a couple of Orphenoch but that was all. Time seemed to crawl by as he watched his Grandson battle these monsters until they have been defeated. Delta mounts a bike, followed by a blonde American girl that Anno recognizes as Kyuuta's girlfriend and drives off without even seeing Anno. Anno sighs in reluctant relief at least he knew the Driver was in good hands.

[Hidari Shotaro]

Caretaker? Ellaborate

[Suzie Miyazaki]

They basically help out Kamen Rider's.

[Amazon]

What Cross said. Basically they are people who are given visions and some knowledge about the Riders in order to help them in their individual battles.

[Adam Park]

I'm particularly liking Sam above all the others. Of course, [blatantlies]it has nothing to do with the fact that he is played by renowned badass Bruce Campbell.[/blatantlies]

[The Caretakers]

Alright done at long last.

If Kaisu would look over Anno and Samantha to make sure they don't contradict anything he had in mind for his characters that would be appreciated.

[[Kaisu] Elizabeth Clarke]

Looking good. I'll go through it in depth later and it looks like it's ready to approve ;3

[Suzie Miyazaki]

In that case character approved
