Rokuro Kaen

## History

### Origin

Rokuro Kaen was initially two different people. Kazuto Kaen, a variant of Kamen Rider Build using elemental and combat role FullBottles rather than the usual organic-inorganic combos, was studying an alternative Driver to use. Rokuro Kudo, another Kamen Rider using multi-dimensional mechanical beings known as Vectors, had lost his arm researching a new energy that the Vectors had just become aware of. This missing arm would then act as a catalyst for studying the energy's properties, crafting a mechanical prosthetic to replace his lost limb before thinking of weaponized variants. Just as Kazuto was finishing his Rave Driver (name from nothing in particular), Rokuro Kudo appeared before him. He told Kazuto that the only way to properly create the Rave Driver and harness the new energy would be to fuse the two of them together into one being. Unfortunately, Kazuto lost the same arm that Rokuro Kudo lost in the merge, awakening as a man with fragmented memories, a missing arm, a Driver, and some strange energy.

## Personality

Rokuro is a wise-cracking, observant individual. As much as he loves a joke, he does value silence and music, often listening to music while in combat to set the mood. During fights, he loves to taunt his opponents or otherwise belittle them, using quips as psychological attacks to upset their focus and maneuver his way to victory. When something does strike his fancy, he goes into tunnel-vision concerning the subject, either researching extensively or inquiring intensely about the subject. Like Kazuto and the previous Rokuro, this Rokuro is well-versed in innuendo and double entendre, casually throwing out suggestive lines every now and then.

When he first awoke, he was much more observant and reserved, dedicated primarily to acquainting himself with his equipment and arm. He was dead-set on figuring out how these worked, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as the limits of his own abilities.

## Forms

Rokuro transforms by activating and inserting Rave Nodes into the right-hand slot on the Rave Driver and simply pressing the top button, no need to spin the Driver around. Additional Armors are accessed by inserting Rave Nodes into the left-hand slot of the Rave Driver.

**Hito Armor**

"*Rave Gear Set! Archetype 1~! Hito~!!*"
―Transformation announcement
The **Hito Armor** is Kamen Rider Rave's default form, accessed through his personal Hito Rave Node. Its visor reads "*Hito*" (ひと, *Hito*) in Hiragana. In this form, he makes use of the **Precursor** prosthetic, an all-around arm designed to channel Rave Energy for combat purposes. In most cases, it's a propulsive field that pushes enemies away to give Rave room to fight in. Precursor is literally just a mechanical arm using Rave Energy to allow it to fight on par with other arms. It lacks a weaponized form, but makes up for it by generating weapon constructs or launching projectiles. It's also the only prosthetic so far that maintains its theoretically unbreakable durability. Thus, Rave has no need to create an abundance of spare Precursors. Hito Armor is the only form that is able to cycle between all of the prosthetic arms without restrictions. As a result, Rave can swap from Precursor to any one of the other Rave Prosthetics, even upgrade-type Prosthetics. Precursor features a trio of Nixie Tubes that display a value from 0 to 100. It's currently unknown as to what this value specifically describes, but it seems to increase during combat or in response to Rave's emotions.

With all of Kamen Rider Rave's forms, Rave wields the Rave Volc-Edge: a sword-pistol hybrid utilizing Rave Energy. The sword blade is actually a separate component stored on his back when not in use, leaving the weapon in pistol form until Rave switches to sword mode. All he needs to do is plug the pistol into the sword blade, shift the barrel downwards to lock the components, then unsheathe the weapon from his back in sword mode. Rave swaps freely between the Rave Volc-Edge's two forms as he needs, often quickly transitioning between sword and gun with a simple button press.

This form demonstrates the following finishers:

* Rave Driver finishers:
	+ **Hito Hissatsu** - Rave simply drop-kicks the enemy covered in Rave Energy following the trajectory of a series of "Hito" (ひと, *Hito*) characters. He can also infuse this power into his prosthetic arm to enhance their Over-Rave attacks significantly.
* Rave Volc-Edge finishers:
	+ **Volc Gatling** - In Pistol mode, the Volc-Edge generates multiple barrels of crystallized Rave Energy, which is then fired at a rapid speed in small, explosive pellets until the barrels have been exhausted.
	+ **Edge Calibur** - In Sword mode, the Volc-Edge gathers Rave Energy into the sword blade. Rave can then discharge the energy as he pleases, slashing away and using the energy as a projectile or simply carving through enemies with the enhanced blade.
* Over-Rave finishers:
	+ **Volcanic Eruption** - Ignition's Over-Rave. Pour all of the energy into one shot powerful enough to turn anything melt through the thickest armor and burn everything horribly.
	+ **Diamond Dust** - Frostbite's Over-Rave. Shatter the arm to release a powerful ice explosion that freezes things at sub-zero temperatures.
	+ **Lightning Bolt** - Gigawatt's Over-Rave. Transform the arm into a circular array that overcharges and channels the Arm's electromagnetic/electrokinetic generators into an electro-laser.
	+ **Tectonic Break** - Quake's Over-Rave. Transforms the arm into a pressure-activated jackhammer with enough power to disrupt tectonic plates.

**Rekka Armor**

"*Rave Gear Set! Archetype 1~! Hito~!! Armor~ Boost~!! Moeru Kōgeki! Rekka~!!*"
―Transformation announcement
**Rekka Armor** is Rave's fire-themed form, accessed by using the Hito Rave Node in addition to the Rekka Rave Node. This form gains a decent boost in combat performance, augmenting its strikes with superheated Rave Energy taking the form of flames. Its visor reads "*Rekka*" (れっか, *Rekka*) in Hiragana.

In this form, Rave is locked to using the **Ignition** Prosthetic. This arm is an Incendiary Coilgun/Pyrokinetic Blade Augmentation. The Coilgun is accessed by expanding the arm into its weapon form and inserting the Rave Volc-Edge into the slot in the back of the expanded prosthesis. The Coilgun fires explosive bolts of crystallized, super-heated Rave Energy, which can be charged up for increasingly more destructive bursts of Rave Energy. To access the Pyrokinetic Blade Augmentation, Rave simply needs to synchronize the Volc-Edge to Ignition, allowing the arm to deploy panels onto the blade and installing mechanism that allow the weapon to be revved, thus generating super-heated Rave Energy. The Rave Energy can be used to enhance sword strikes, explosively propelling Rave around the area for surprisingly high maneuverability.

This form demonstrates the following finishers:

* Rave Driver finishers:
	+ **Infernal Hito Hissatsu** - Rave performs a drop kick on the enemy covered in flames and propelled by Rave Energy
* Rave Volc-Edge finishers:
	+ **Volc Gatling - Inferno** - In Pistol mode, the Volc-Edge blasts the enemy with a giant stream of super-heated Rave Energy.
	+ **Edge Calibur - Inferno** - In Sword mode, the Volc-Edge gathers super-heated Rave Energy into the sword blade. Rave then slashes all around him in a circular as the blade propels him around in a rapid spinning slash.
* Over-Rave finishers:
	+ **Solar Volcanic Eruption** - Ignition's Over-Rave. In the Rekka Armor, Ignition's Over-Rave is supercharged. The single shot of pure heat is intensifies, granting it enough power to rival the sun.

**Fubuki Armor**

"*Rave Gear Set! Archetype 1~! Hito~!! Armor~ Boost~!! Onmitsu Yuki... Fubuki!*"
―Transformation announcement
**Fubuki Armor** is Rave's stealth/ice form, accessed through the Hito and Fubuki Rave Nodes. While lacking in physical power, it features a built-in stealth system and enhanced movement speed and jumping height. Its visor reads "*Fubuki*" (ふぶき, *Fubuki*) in Hiragana.

This form is specifically designed around the **Frostbite** Prosthetic, an arm designed around Cryokinetic Crystal Development. By using this arm, Rave can flash-freeze the water vapor in the air into crystalline constructs, then launch them at bullet-like speeds with a concentrated burst of Rave Energy. This concept can be applied to the Rave Volc-Edge, coating its blade or projectiles in sub-zero Rave Energy.

This form demonstrates the following finishers:

* Rave Driver finishers:
	+ **Frosted Hito Hissatsu** - Rave first creates a cloud of ice stalactites above the enemy, reinforced with Rave Energy, before uppercutting the enemy into said cloud as each icicle impales before exploding.
* Rave Volc-Edge finishers:
	+ **Volc Gatling - Permafrost** - In Pistol mode, the Volc-Edge releases a stream of Rave Energy measuring at temperatures *near* Absolute Zero.
	+ **Edge Calibur - Permafrost** - In Sword mode, the Volc-Edge coats its blade in cryokinetic energy before Rave discharges it as two crescent-shaped waves. The first wave freezes the opponent, the second cuts through them.
* Over-Rave finishers:
	+ **Absolute Diamond Dust** - Frostbite's Over-Rave. Sacrifice the arm to create any ice construct desired. A statue of Rave can be left behind, a giant glacier, or a large wave of ice projectiles.

**Kaminari Armor**

"*Rave Gear Set! Archetype 1~! Hito~!! Armor~ Boost~!! Denkou Sekka... Kaminari!*"
―Transformation announcement
**Kaminari Armor** is a speed-based form, accessed through the Hito and Kaminari Rave Nodes. Despite being the lightest of Rave's default forms, it boasts the greatest speed among Rave's default armors. Its visor reads "*Kaminari*" (かみなり, *Kaminari*) in Hiragana.

This form is designed to work in tandem with the **Gigawatt** Prosthetic, which opens up into a circular array of panels to release a controlled electrokinetic shockwave. This shockwave can be used to deflect physical projectiles from Rave, or it can be used as a dodging mechanism, allowing him to quickly avoid attacks by launching himself out of the way. It especially shines when used in the air, as it can be rapidly discharged to send Rave flying through the air in any direction at any given moment.

This form demonstrates the following finishers:

* Rave Driver finishers:
	+ **Shocking Hito Hissatsu** - Rave coats his leg in Rave Energy laced with electricity before jumping up and drop-kicking the enemy in a flash of lightning.
* Rave Volc-Edge finishers:
	+ **Volc Gatling - Lightning Storm** - In Pistol mode, the Volc-Edge discharges multiple bolts of lightning infused with Rave Energy at high speeds.
	+ **Edge Calibur - Permafrost** - In Sword mode, the Volc-Edge coats its blade in Rave Energy laced with electricity, allowing Rave to cleave through an enemy with a high-speed slashing combo.
* Over-Rave finishers:
	+ **Unchained Lightning Bolt** - Gigawatt's Over-Rave. Sacrifice the arm to unleash a powerful electro-laser that lasts for 7 seconds. If used in the air, it will discharged smaller electro-lasers that will ricochet off of surrounding walls and floors; this lasts for approximately 10 seconds.
