Relationships:

• The Real James Harper: James’s friend and the user of the Wild Cherry Lockseed. Oliver-James does it in his memory.
  
• Zed: The leader of Tyr. James stabbed him in the face after Real-James and Demi died, but apparently there is a new Zed.
  

Overview: James is reserved when it comes to him talking about himself, and for good reason. A lot of people who know him think of him as being incredibly guarded, and a tad bit self-destructive. He’s numb to the world in some ways, rarely showing true emotion.

That doesn’t mean that all he does is mope. No, far from it – he’s still gambling away the massive amount of insurance money he got. He still likes a good time, and will often bet on horse races or Invess Games. Invess Games intrigue him even more.

James is a fast talker, being able to get out of a jam on his looks and charisma. While he’s not particularly smart, he can usually get out of a bad situation without pulling out the Dragonfruit Lockseed. And if he can’t talk his way out, he’ll try to bribe his way out of it. And THEN he’ll get stabby; but only then.


Hero Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider Gram
Type Of Hero: Kamen Rider
Henshin Device: His Cretaceous Driver and collection of Lockseeds. The Cretaceous Driver resembles the Sengoku Driver, but instead of having a knife, it has a red tyrannosaurus head. The head can pivot, taking the lock with it in its ‘teeth’.
Henshin Sequence: James opens the Dragonfruit Lockseed, which creates a zipper above and below his head. It opens up, revealing a large Dragonfruit above his head, the lock declaring “Dragonfruit!”, as he places the Lockseed on his Driver. With a cry of “Henshin”, he slides it into the jaw, causing it to say “CHOMP!”. He then slams the top of the head down, with the bottom jaw clamping down as well, as it declares “NOM NOM NOM NOM!” The top and bottom halves of the Dragonfruit in the middle as his base suit forms, all of this scored by the sound of a roar.
Forms:

• Form Name: Dragon Arms
  Image/ Description: His base suit is red and armored in a way reminiscent (vaguely) of a knight. His torso give the impression of a tabard, while the joints of the suit resemble (but are not) chain mail. The greaves and gauntlets are a golden color. The helmet is red like the rest of the suit, with a silver mouthplate and a one piece visor. The helmet looks like it has two small horns on the temples. As for the armor, it takes the form of spiked pink armor plating. The chest and back plates resemble plate armor with slight spikes on the chest. After the transformation ends the top part of the backplate unfolds into the form of a pair of bladed dragon wings. The shoulder plates are likewise spiked, with though these ones are more prominent, with similar spikes attaching to his gloves and boots to form claws. The top of his helmet resembles a European Dragon’s head, with the mouthplate emulating the jaw. His sword Tyfring appears on his side when he transforms.
  Motif: Dragonfruit, Dragons, Knight
  Color Scheme: Pink, Red, Yellow
  Transformation: Detailed above. The Cretaceous Driver declares “Dragon Arms! The roaring dragonheart!”
  Fighting Style: James fights using a combination of the Tyfring, his Musou Saber, and his wings. Likewise, his claws are used to fight off enemies, as impractical a plan as this is. It lacks any kind of long range support (aside from the Musou Saber), true, but he usually claims that he doesn’t need it. This form can take a hit and give a hit.
  Weapons: Tyfring, the form’s longsword. He can combine it with his Musou Saber, blades facing opposite directions, to form a double edged lance called Lance Mode. Likewise, his wings are bladed and he can fold them in front of him to be a shield.
  Abilities: Flight, HUD.
  Finisher(s): Roaring Kick: First, James spins the head on his Cretaceous Driver. He then leaps into the air, wings out. His leg becomes engulfed in flame as he nails the enemy with a rider kick.
  
  Ishikara Slash: James moves his Dragonfruit Lockseed to his Tyfring Lance Mode and hits the knife on it four times. The second he does, it becomes engulfed in flames. He quickly slashes his enemy with both blades.

Hero Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider Chroma-Gram
Type Of Hero: Kamen Rider
Henshin Device: His Cretaceous Driver Jurassic Mode/Jurassic Driver. James pops off the original Rex Jaw and replaced it with the Tricera Jaw, which can use Energy Lockseeds on top of typical Lockseeds. By changing the Jaws, a Rider Indicator appears on the left side of the buckle, and the voice changes to something deeper with an American accent. The Rider Indicator displays Chroma-Gram in profile, surrounded by red flames.

In terms of capabilities, it works very similarly to the Cretaceous Driver – enhanced powers at the risk of becoming feral and the sped up decay of the Lockseed – but instead of rotting the Lockseed dries out faster. This can be remedied by exposing the Lockseed to sap from the Helheim forest, either by submerging it or touching it to another Energy Lockseed. Finishers can be initiated by pressing the Drain Switch, the red button on the head. A single press starts up a Squash finisher, which is generally a Rider Punch or Rider Kick. Pressing it twice initiates an Au Lait finisher, which is a finisher with the form’s weapon. By pressing it three times it activates a powerful finisher called Sparking.
Henshin Sequence: James takes out the Lockseed of his choice, and opens it up. When he does, the zipper portal opens up above him, revealing the Giant Dragonfruit’s Energy variant. Until the Lockseed is placed in the Tricera Jaw, a piano riff can be heard. The Lockseed declares its name, before placing the Lockseed on the Buckle. The Tricera Jaw opens up, and James closes it with a push of the Drain Switch, causing it to declare Lock On. “Henshin!” The juice from the Energy Lockseed drains into Tricera Jaw and the giant fruit drops. The belt declares “Rock On! (insert Fruit here) Arms! (quote/jingle)!” as the undersuit forms, followed by the fruit unfolding and forming the plating.
Undersuit: Chroma-Gram’s undersuit and helmet resemble Gram’s undersuit, with slight differences. The helmet is always dragon themed, instead of only when he’s using Dragon Arms. The yellow-gold parts of his armor are now a black color, with his gloves being clawed at all times. His tabard is black with a red dragon imprint on it, though this is only visible during the transformation.
Forms: Each of his forms uses a different element, uses a different sword (for the most part), and takes inspiration from a different video game. His powers also allow him to mess with the weather, or at least appropriate weather conditions (drought for fire, rain for ice), when using Au Lait or Sparking finishers.

• Form Name: Dragon Energy Arms
  Image/ Description: Dragon Arms’ armor is a knight themed breast plate and shoulder pad, with small, harmless spikes spread across. This version doesn’t have wings, with the back resembling ornate plate instead. There is only one shoulder pad on the left arm instead of a pair, with a tattered red cape streaming behind him. The helmet resembles a European dragon’s head, with two yellow eyes forming the visor. His weapons (a Sonic Arrow and Burning Joker) appear on his armor, with his sword on his back and his bow on his belt.
  Motif: Dragon, Dragonfruit, Knight, Fire Emblem (Ike)
  Color Scheme: Pink, Red, Black
  Transformation: The dragonfruit falls and unfolds into his armor. “Rock On! Dragon Energy Arms! Through the fire and the flames!”
  Fighting Style: James carries his sword as if it was fake, swining it with surprising speed and pairing it with a crap load of kicks. His fire powers work to keep enemies at bay, and he compounds this with his dice.
  Weapons:
  Burning Joker: Dragon Arms’ personal sword. While it should require two hands to wield, the Jurassic Driver boosts James’s strength enough to wield it with one.
  Abilities: HUD, creation of energy arrows. Dragon Energy Arms can also create blasts of fire from the user’s hands.
  Finisher(s):
  Fifth Of November (Dragon Squash): James jumps into the air, with both of his legs bathed in his normal pink flames. He slams straight into the enemy foot first in a flying side kick.
  Fifth Of November Variation (Dragon Squash): A roundhouse kick version of the above Rider Kick, it’s mostly used to block attacks.
  Leviathan’s Steel (Dragon Au Lait): James lifts his blade over his head and slashes straight through the enemy, his blade bathed in pink flame as he does. As he’s doing this, anyone around him would find the heat unbearable until the attack finishes (or until shortly after it fails).
  Backdraft (Dragon Sparking): James runs his fingers down the blade of his sword, with fire building up from the hilt to the tip as he does. As the fire builds up, a pink ring of fire surrounds Gram and his intended target(s). He then slashes once diagonally, projecting a blast of flame before following up a second later with a stronger version Leviathan’s Steel.
  
• Form Name: Blueberry Energy Arms
  Image/ Description: Blueberry Arms gains a thin chestplate and shoulder, both of which are a navy color. A blue jacket also attaches itself to his torso, which falls past his knees. The jacket stays open at all times, showing that the chest design from his undersuit is painted onto his chestplate. Somehow the jacket is also under the belt, but it’s best not to think about that. The jacket has a built in hood that is always pulled up over the helmet, hiding his horns and shadowing his visor. He also gains a silver gauntlet on each sleeve of his jacket, holding them in place.
  Motif: Dragon, Blueberry, Knight, Assassin, Assassin’s Creed (Ezio Auditore)
  Color Scheme: Blue, Red, Black, Silver
  Transformation: The blueberry falls and unfolds into his armor. “Rock On! Blueberry Energy Arms! You’re as cold as ice!”
  Fighting Style: Gram’s defensive abilities drop dramatically when using this form, with its armor being almost painted on. He also focuses on using his Altair Arrow rather than his Freeze Daggers because of their relative impracticality. His fighting style is mostly a combination of dodging blows, stabbing nearby enemies, and blowing away enemies that are far away. Thankfully, his invisibility and ice powers improve his chances in both areas.
  Weapons:
  Freeze Daggers: A pair of hidden blades attached to Gram’s wrists. He extends them with a flick of his wrist. 1, 2
  Altair Arrow: A bow similar to the Sonic Arrow but exclusive to Blueberry Energy Arms, James focuses on this weapon a good deal. The arrows also freeze people.
  Abilities: HUD, improved stats. He also has the ability to freeze targets that he punches/kicks/stabs/shoots, and the ability to turn temporarily invisible. He activates this ability with a thought, and it gives him about thirty seconds of invisibility – or as James says “just enough”.
  Finisher(s):
  Frozen Soul (Blueberry Squash): Energy gathers in Gram’s Freeze Daggers, and he charges an enemy like he’s going to stab them… only to hit them with a right hook. THEN he stabs them.
  Killer Frost (Blueberry Au Lait): Energy gathers in his Freeze Daggers, but his ice powers also start up. He freezes the ground/floor where he stands, for up to a mile radius, and causes snow to fall. He skates towards the enemy and stabs them with his Freeze Daggers, freezing them from the outside in.
  Blue Blizzard (Blueberry Sparking): Energy gathers and a blizzard starts up as he prepares the attack. Once again the ground freezes but his main course of action is intend to
• Form Name: Cranberry Energy Arms
  Image/ Description: Cranberry Energy Arms gains a thin red chestplate, but no armor plating on the arms, giving it a sleeveless look. The chestplate has the tabard’s design on the back. The backs of the hands and wrists had silver plates on them designed to block incoming blades. The form’s helmet remains mostly untouched, though the dragon’s mouth on the mouthplate is replaced with a featureless plate. A white scarf trails behind the armor, though it doesn’t appear to be attached to anything. His Wind Sabers are sheathed on his back instead of on his side like usual, crossed so that they can easily be drawn by the opposite hand.
  Motif: Dragon, Cranberry, Knight, Ninja, Ninja Gaiden (Ryo Hayabusa)
  Color Scheme: Red, Black, Silver
  Transformation: The cranberry falls and unfolds into his armor. “Rock On! Cranberry Energy Arms! We’re all just dust in the wind!”
  Fighting Style: Cranberry Arms fights with a frenetic, fast paced style that makes use of both swords and a hand to hand fighting style. His enhanced agility helps his fighting style greatly, allowing him to pull off impressive dodges.
  Weapons:
  Wind Sabers: A pair of thin katanas that are used as Cranberry Energy Arms primary weapons. They are designed and balanced to be used in a pair rather than as single blades, which is fine by James.
  Abilities: HUD, improved stats. Gram’s speed is greatly enhanced but his thinner armor makes him more susceptible to attack and he didn’t get a power boost like with Blueberry EA. He also has the ability to control and create wind.
  Finisher(s):
  Circling Hawk (Cranberry Squash): Gram strikes the enemy with a powerful hurricane kick.
  Kamaitachi Kill (Cranberry Au Lait): Strong winds gather around the area as Gram prepares for his attack. He draws his swords from their sheaths and unleashes an iajutsu style razor wind slash from both of his blades. The enemy doesn’t go down until he resheaths his blades.
  Galveston Gash (Cranberry Sparking): Two small tornados circle Gram and his intended target as he holds out his swords. He throws his offhand sword and then his main sword, which both start to spin. They spin faster, moving like a ninja star as a mini hurricane occurs around the swords. The two swords slash through the enemy before finding their way back to his hands. The enemy doesn’t die until he retrieves his swords, like with his Au Lait.
• Form Name: Plum Energy Arms
  Image/ Description: Once again when this armor comes down he appears to have the sleeveless look, though the breastplate has spiked shoulder pads covering the shoulders. His armor plating is tougher, battle hardened. His Squall Saber is attached to his back, waiting to be used.
  Motif: Dragon, Plum, Knight, Final Fantasy VII (Cloud Strife)
  Color Scheme: Purple, Red, Black
  Transformation: The Purple falls and unfolds into his armor. “Rock On! Plum Energy Arms! Like a rolling stone!”
  Fighting Style: Gram’s fighting style for this is very slow and defense oriented, but his upper body strength has practically tripled.
  Weapons:
  Squall Saber
  Abilities: HUD, improved stats. He also has Earth/Gravity powers.
  Finisher(s):
  Crystal Crisis (Plum Squash): Gram yanks back his arm in a punch, smashing the target with an energy charged punch.
  Zanarkand Striker (Plum Au Lait): The ground cracks in a t3wenty feet area around him. Gram slashes through the target.
  Ultima (Plum Sparking): The ground shakes and cracks as he walks for this form. He slashes his sword at the enemy, sending a wave of purple energy that traps the target in suspended gravity. He then charges up and slashes right through the enemy.
• Form Name: Smith Energy Arms
  Image/ Description: Like with Cranberry, he gains an green armored jacket. This one is actually able to take hits though. His left arm is green and black, and glows with a strange energy at all times.
  Motif: Dragon, Granny Smith Apple, Knight, Demon Hunter, Devil May Cry (Nero)
  Color Scheme: Green, Red, Black
  Transformation: The Smith Apple falls and unfolds into his armor. “Rock On! Green Apple Energy Arms! The tide is high!”
  Fighting Style: Smith Arms is a mixed ranged form. His revolver is in one hand and his blade in the other. His stats are balanced in this form, and he fights with a lot more fluidity than previous forms, occasionally literally since he can shoot water.
  Weapons:
  Beowulf
  Cerberus
  Abilities: HUD, improved stats. It also has power over water.
  Finisher(s):
  Devil Bringer (Lime Squash): An energy replica of Gram’s hand shoots out and drags the target in, letting Gram himself nail them right cross.
  Devil Trigger (Lime Au Lait): A small rainstorm starts up over head as this finisher starts up. Energy charges up in the Cerberus until Gram fires a blast off at the target.
  Devil’s Edge (Lime Sparking): The rain is so strong that it creates a large flood through the immediate area. Gram sets his sword into the water and slashes through the enemy, with a wave of water hitting the target.
• Form Name: Apricot Energy Arms
  Image/ Description: This form’s armor is more streamlined, with the armor providing an orange chestplate with matching shoulder armor, boots, and gloves. This is drawn on the left shoulder pad, but no one knows what it actually means. Aside from those changes, this form also alters Gram’s helmet the most. Instead of a dragon’s head, it somewhat resembles an alien raptor with blue markings underneath his helmet’s eyes and a blue eyepiece over its left eye. The right gauntlet is also equipped with a strange device called the Omni Tool with a load of different features that will be detailed below. His wings also reappear, glowing with blue energy lines.
  Motif: Dragon, Apricot, Knight, Space Marine, Mass Effect (Garrus Vakarrian)
  Color Scheme: Orange, Red, Black
  Transformation: The Apricot falls and unfolds into his armor. “Rock On! Apricot Energy Arms! Sit tight, take hold, thunder road!”
  Fighting Style: You see that rifle below? That’s a hint as to how Apricot Arms is gonna kick your ass. On top of that he has lightning and an energy blade.
  Weapons:
  N7 Rifle: The N7 is the main weapon of this form, though it doesn’t stop Gram from scrapping with his Omni Blade. It is an assault rifle with semi-automatic fire.
  Omni Tool: Imagine if some gave the Sonic Screwdriver the ability to create an energy blade. While it’s not THAT overpowered, it does have a number of noncombat uses like hacking and picking locks.
  Abilities: HUD, improved stats. His heads up display has heat sensors, crosshairs, UV, etc on top of the normal stuff. His Omni-Tool is also a great all-purpose tool.
  Finisher(s):
  Citadel Crash (Apricot Squash): Lightning surges down from the Jurassic Driver to Gram’s leg, before he leaps at the target with a Rider Kick.
  Spectre Slash (Apricot Au Lait): A storm starts up, covering the area in rain and thunder. Gram’s Omni-Tool activates and lengthens into the Omni-Blade, which Gram uses to hack through the enemy.
  Archangel Break (Apricot Sparking): A severe thunderstorm appears and blankets the area with rain and lightning. Gram holds his arm to the side, charging his rifle with the lightning that strikes. Gram aims his rifle at the enemy, his eyepiece working on overdrive to target them. He fires with sniper like precision, his gun acting like a handheld railgun.
• Form Name: Passion Energy Arms
  Image/ Description: Golden, dragon themed armor forms over his body. His claws are strengthened and his wings return as the glittering (yet scratched) armor forms.
  Motif: Dragon, Passion, Knight, Barbarian, Dragonborn, Elder Scrolls V Skyrim (Dohvahkiin)
  Color Scheme: Gold, Red, Black
  Transformation: The Purple falls and unfolds into his armor. “Rock On! Plum Energy Arms! Turn up the lights in here!”
  Fighting Style: Passion Energy Arms fought with a berserk fighting style. His fighting style is a blur of fast paced, hard hitting slashes.
  Weapons:
  Silver Saint: This form’s sword, which has a Drive Bay on the hilt (not pictured).
  Abilities: HUD, improved stats. It also has power over light.
  Finisher(s):
  Meteor Storm (Passion Squash): Gram leaps into the air, taking flight with his wings. Gram then drops, his body a golden streak as he crashes through the enemy.
  Unrelenting Force (Passion Au Lait): The sunlight/moon and starlight greatly intensifies as he charges an energy ball in his hands. Gram yells “Fus Roh DAH!” and fires the blast at the target, nailing them.
  Dawnguard (Passion Sparking): All light sources nearby aside from the stars/sun go out. Silver Saint shines like the sun as Gram slashes directly through the target, cleaving them in half. The lights all return once the enemy is dead.
  Great Aether (Passion-Dragon Energy): Gram summons up the Burning Joker and crosses the two swords. Both swords get covered in golden flames, before he cleaves through the enemy.
  Aquilla II (Passion-Blueberry Energy): Gram disappears in a flash of light, before stabbing the enemy from behind.
  Eclipse Scythe (Passion-Cranberry Energy): Gram dashes past the enemy, his sword charged with light, slashing them in half.
  Sparda (Passion-Smith Energy): Silver Saint becomes bathed in golden light, extending out before slashing the enemy in half.
  Omega Weapon (Passion-Plum Energy): Gram summons up seven copies of the Squall Saber, which slash through the target on their own, one after the other, right before Gram tears them in half with Silver Saint.
  Destroy Control Synthesis (Passion-Apricot Energy): Gram slashes through the enemy three times with his sword glowing a different color each time. The first color was red, the second was blue, and the third was green. The glow colors mean nothing.

Other Equipment:

• The Lotus Lockseed, which summons his Rider Machine, the Lotus Invader
  
• An endless supply of dice, some of which are explosive. For some unknown reason, they only explode when he throws them.
  
• A deck of bladed cards
  
• Fake IDs and passports under the name “James Harper”
  

Oliver was born the son of two Russian immigrants. As far as he knew growing up, his family never had any significant troubles, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. As it turned out his father was indebted to the Russian mob, and he couldn’t pay off his debts. When Oliver’s father died under mysterious circumstances, he needed a way to pay the bills...

Yggdrasil had started up an American branch, with its headquarters set up in Manhattan. He was hired to work for its Tyr division, where he acted as “security” and took out dangerous threats. Soon, Oliver realized that he couldn’t keep killing people for a living, turning to alcohol and later gambling as an outlet. His disillusionment reached its boiling point when his friend James was killed in the line of duty. He stood in an alley, the last man in his squad alive, and walked away. He bled his savings dry to buy a plane ticket, changed his name, and got plastic surgery to avoid being recognized. He flew to Japan to get away from it all and restart his life in Zawame City... unknowingly diving into the belly of the beast.
