**Katashi Mori** (森 堅志, *Mori Katashi*) is a 16-year-old high school student who transforms into **Kamen Rider Sekinin** (仮面ライダー責任, *Kamen Raidā Sekinin*) to fight against the corruption of companies like Arachnos and hunt down his father's lost Data Cards.

## History

A bit of a mild troublemaker, Katashi never made life for his single father easy. Often getting into spats at school, and a couple of instances where he'd hacked into the school database to fudge his grades, he was no stranger to having to move from place to place. It wasn't until a sudden move to the Rogue Isles that he'd ever really hated traveling around. The Isles were tough, far different from the life Katashi once had in his hometown of Shibuya, Japan, but the disappearance of his father shortly after the move awoke a sense of adventure and purpose within him.

After following the trail to his father's mysterious new job, which turned out to be an Arachnos Lab, Katashi had arrived through the vents just in time to witness something no child should have to see: his father's body being dragged from one of the labs. Having kept his silence, and waited long enough for the room to clear, Katashi dropped down onto the linoleum tile. No stranger to technology by any means, he dove into the file network on the nearby Arachnos Database Terminal. After several tries, and a near lockout, Katashi finally tried one last password attempt: His own name, family name first as was tradition.

Success! The terminal opened, allowing Katashi to dive into the database to research anything his heart desired that his father had been working on. Strangely, however, there only seemed to be one project, luckily for Katashi however, his father had apparently kept a video journal. The files were far more than indicative that Katashi's father had been force to move to the Isles and work for Lord Recluse against his will, and the device he was working on was similar to his work back home in Japan. Katashi's father, Ikyu Mori, was a specialist in assisting the Japanese Military with their latest technology. It was something his father in the video files referred to as a "Driver". This device could read a series of items called "Data Cards", each coded to allow the wielder to transform into an costumed superhero, and be given spectacular abilities.

As Katashi searched around, he only managed to come up with the Driver itself, one singular Data Card, and a mysterious metal bracelet. It was through the utilization of these three items that Katashi was not only able to transform into the Henshin Hero, Kamen Rider Sekinin, but fight his way back out of the Arachnos Facility and back to the surface. It was in this battle that Katashi learned two important lessons: The responsibility of life, and when to stay your hand. Making an effort not to kill a single Arachnos Soldier, a changed Katashi Mori immerged from the depths of the lab, ready to fight for justice and honor. Now, it is up  to Katashi to track down the remaining Data Cards, and bring justice to his father's legacy, responsibly.

## Personality

Despite often coming off as a standard, mildly irritating and mouthy teenager in his personality, Katashi is actually quite strong-willed and more clever than he lets on, as well as being somone who'll do anything he can to save someone. Another defining trait is his incredibly unwavering will to fight for anyone in need of help, even at the risk of his own life. This came as a result of his father's death and Katashi's review of his final video journal logs.

Katashi is still a teenager, and enjoys teen relative activities such as going to the mall, gaming, using social media and going on trips with his friends. Katashi also has a devout interest in motocross and motorcycles in general, having helped his father build military vehicle projects at home while he was still growing up. While he can be quite quippy, and brash, Katashi is by no means a bully, and would be far more likely to stand up for someone in need than to put them down.

## Abilities

### Abilities

* **Skilled Combatant:** Through the power of each Data Card, Katashi 'downloads' a new set of fighting skills. After his first Henshin transformation into Sekinin, this scrappy street fighter had picked up enough skills to subdue Arachnos's forces on the inside of a lab, without having to kill any of them.

### Weaknesses

* **Regular Human:** While he does retain his fighting skills, while outside of his Rider form, Katashi is still entirely human and is no more durable to gunshots, knives or any other hazards than the standard human being might be, especially without either his singular Web Scanner or his belt.

## Forms

By inserting a Data Card into the Arachnid Driver and authorizing the transformation with his Web-Scanner, Katashi can transform into Kamen Rider Sekinin

**Spider Protector** (スパイダープロテクター, *Supaidāpurotekutā*) is Sekinin' spider-based primary form accessed by placing the Spider Data Card in the Arachnid Driver. Sekanin can fire synthetic webbing from his hands to restrain an enemy or suspend himself from a surface with webbing produced from his belt. He can also stick to surfaces, and climb across walls, as well as use the same synthetic webbing he can make to swing across buildings and other surfaces.
Spider Protector consists of the following parts:

* **Spider Head** (スパイダーヘッド, *Supaidāheddo*): The head.
	+ **Spider Faceplate** (スパイダーフェイスプレート, Supaidāfeisupurēto): The special face armament. It is armed with spider's characteristic abilities from the genetic information coded within the Data Card.
	+ **Spider Met** (スパイダーメット, *Supaidāmetto*): The helmet. Part of the Spider Shell, the head is wrapped in an artificial muscle that draws out unlimited power by receiving an energy supply. In addition, up to 99% of the user's potential can be drawn out by stimulating the brain from a device on the back of the head .
	+ **Sensing Eye** (センシングアイ, *Senshinguai*): The helmet's sensors. A majority of these are hidden amongst the white webbing across the helmet's faceplace, with two beautifully shining large ones at the center. Each functions independently to secure a nearly 360 degree field of vision without gaps. The helmet does engage a warning sense system as well if it detects the presence of any nearby danger, such as firearms, known threats, or either aggressive or hostile actions.
* **Spider Shell** (クモの殻, Kumo no kara): The special chest armor. It is armed with spider's characteristic abilities from the genetic information of the Spider Data Card.
* **Spider Suit** (スパイダースーツ, *Supaidāsūtsu*): The reinforced suit itself. This suit has the capability to magnetize itself to any surface and allow the wearer to support their own weight against it, allowing the user to do a variety of things such as crawl or even run across walls that would be otherwise impossible to scale, or even stand upside-down on the ceiling of a room.
* **Spider Arms** (スパイダーアームズ, *Supaidāāmuzu*): The arms. Due to the power embedded within the Data Card and the Driver an artificial muscle that draws infinite power from energy supplied by the Driver is stretched around the whole body, strengthening the physical ability of the user to the utmost limit.
* **Web Weavers** (ウェブウィーバー, U~ebuu~ībā): The hands. Each is equipped with a discharge port for the adhesive special sticky fiber **Web Fluid** (ウェブ流体, *U~ebu ryūtai*). This synthetic, web-like string is highly elastic and has both excellent strength and heat resistance. By making use of this feature, it can be widely used for offense and defense, such as capturing a target and fixing in place or moving the body in the air.
* **Spider Legs** (スパイダーレッグ, *Supaidāreggu*): The legs. This Suit is equipped with a mechanism to arm each part based on the ability obtained from the Data Card's genetic information. As a result, switching armaments according to the battle situation enables a wide variety of tactics and demonstrates high responsiveness.
* **Pedipalps** (触肢, Shokushi): The feet. By receiving the operation of the Arachnid Driver and gathering high-density energy on the sole, it is possible to activate the finishing move **Spider Kick**, which converts the Data Card's genetic information into an attack.
