KAMEN RIDER WILDCARD (Persona X Kamen Rider)

MOTIFS: Luck, Chance, Greed, Games, Beliefs, Literature

OPENINGS: TAGLINE: "The players are ready, and the story is set. Let the games begin..."
 * 1st Half: Green-Tinted Sixties Mind - MAN WITH A MISSION
 * 2nd Half: Hero - UNLITS

PREMISE: All Chris Xavier wanted was to live a peaceful life, he just wanted nothing to do with the outside world due to an accident that almost cost him his life. That is until he finds out that he was the winner of a short story contest he entered a few years ago. Now he's attending the prestigeous Horizon Academy, where some of the best literary artists of today go to study. All seemed well until he found a mysterious blue card before he and many others are thrust into a dangerous game called Disboard, where your chances of survival are all based around luck and chance. Now with a new power of Persona in his hand and a Slot Driver around his waist, It's up to Chris and his friends to stop whoever's organizing Disboard before it's too late.

Terminology: Characters CASINO RIDERS: Chris Xavier/Kamen Rider Wildcard Persona: Hawkins (Treasure Island) Arcana: The Fool Main Gambling Motif: Card Games (Poker mainly) Profile: Christopher Randall Xavier, or Chris to most people, is your typical suburban teenager. While most people would dream of fame and fortune, he learned that it's always due to luck that most people get that and so doesn't really believe in leaving things unto chance. However he believes in second chances and is willing to help others who are down on their luck. As Kamen Rider Wildcard, Chris can perform various attacks with his Fool's Blade and Ace Blade respectively. His Persona Hawkins has attacks that include Assault Drive, Agilio, Zan-ei, and his Jackpot Finish, Royal Flush Kick, where he throws several cards onto the battlefield, which transform into portals, before both he and Hawkins jump into the Ace card and bounce through the various portals while, at the same time, roundhouse kicking the opponent. He also has, as his name implies, the power of the wild card; a unique ability which allows him to have multiple Personas and can change them at will. This also affects his Rider form when he uses the Fusion Velvet Card.

 * Slot Driver: A device that was created by Odin in order to travel in and out Disboard. It can also transform the user into a Kamen Rider. Once transformed, the rider can use their Velvet Cards for various attacks, abilities, and can even evolve if the correct card is used. The driver is in the style of a slot machine with elements of an arcade machine and a card slot rather than a coin slot
 * Jackpot Finish: A Kamen Rider's strongest attack, done by pulling the slot reel twice to activate it.
 * Fusion Sleight Form: The term for Kamen Rider Wildcard's ability to change forms and Personas at will, thanks to the Fusion Velvet Card he obtained from Igor. Velvet Card: Special cards used by the Kamen Riders to summon their Personas, use their attacks, call upon their weapons etc. While each Kamen Rider has their own set of attacks and weapons, they each carry the same card, Transform; which allows them to change into their Rider forms after inserting it into the Slot Driver.

Jack Doyle/Kamen Rider Bullseye Persona: Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) Arcana: The Magician Main Gambling Motif: Darts Profile: An optimistic kind of student, Jackson Doyle is the son of a wealthy business tycoon and one of the first friends Chris makes at Horizon Academy. Jack is exceptionally intelligent...yet he does not act like that and for the most part ends up failing at some of his exams. However he believes that with perseverance, anything is possible. As Kamen Rider Bullseye, he fights with his Magician's Cane as his weapon while his Persona Scrooge's attacks ranges from ice attacks like Bufu, to piercing attacks. This is especially true with his Jackpot Finish, Frozen Fortune, which has Scrooge summon thousands and thousands of frozen darts and launch them at the opponent before

Sara Cleary/Kamen Rider Neptuna Persona: Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) Arcana: The Wheel of Fortune Profile: A bubbly young girl, Sara Cleary is the daughter of a orphanage caretaker and one of the first people Chris meets as Horizon Academy. Sara is a person who tries to sees the good in everyone, but has a bit of a temper. As Kamen Rider Neptuna, her main weapon of choice is the Lover's Cleats. Her Persona Dorothy's attacks mostly consists of stab attacks, Garu skills, and Bufu skills. This can be expressed by her Jackpot Finish, Emerald Dash, in which she charges up energy before releasing it all in a sprint that damages the opponent

Finn Lewis/Kamen Rider Checkmate Persona: King Arthur (King Arthur) Arcana: The Hierophant Main Gambling Motif: Roulette, with a bit of chess thrown into the mix Profile: A noble man, Finn Lewis is the grandson of an esteemed war veteran who attends Horizon Academy to tell the story of his grandfather's legacy. He seems cold at first, but soon opens up after he was rescued from Disboard by the Kamen Riders. As Kamen Rider Checkmate, he uses the Chariot Lance and King's Shield as his weapons while his Persona King Arthur, focuses on defensive buffs and physical attacks, the strongest of which is his Jackpot Finish, Avalon Rage

Garreth Martin/Kamen Rider Phantom Persona: Ichabod (Legend of Sleepy Hollow) Arcana: Death Main Gambling Motif: Baccarat, with a bit of checkers thrown into the mix Profile: While most are indifferent towards him, Garret Martin does not let this bring him down. He comes from a family who started from the bottom and rose up to the ranks, which caused him to become snobbish in nature. However he was humbled after becoming yet another person who was dragged into Disboard. As Kamen Rider Phantom, he has the Ouija Scythe and his Persona Faust, focuses on poison attacks and Mudo Attacks, which are compounded by his Jackpot Finish, Midnight Terror

Kamen Rider Blackwatch Persona: Faust (Faust) Arcana: Devil Main Gambling Motif: Blackjack Profile: It is unknown who this man is underneath that mask... Maybe he is a man who sold his soul to the devil to gain this power, maybe he is a lost soul looking for redemption? Who knows at this point.

Here are two other Kamen Riders who, while I have the names for, I still need some time to write their profiles for Other allies:
 * Zen Magnus, aka Kamen Rider Snake-eyes, is the typical rival Kamen Rider who could be considered as this series' Dark Rider. Along with a motif of dice games, he has a Persona based on Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes
 * Since this is a Persona story, of course there is an assistant. However, since there have been so many Frankenstien references and this series would primarily focus on literary characters, I thought why not and name the assistant after the doctor himself Victor, and made the Persona he uses the most into the famous Frankenstein's monster itself. He would be using a book-based Driver as his transformation device btw, not sure what I should call it though
 * Hopkins - Based on the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, he would be the equivalent to say Teddie or Morgana in which he is connected to Disboard in some shape or form
 * Professer Max Cawthon - The founder of the Horizon Academy Literature Club and secretly the Norse god Odin. He serves as the Tobei Tachibana of the group
 * Igor - Obviously, it wouldn't be a Persona story if it didn't have Igor in it
