Inner Stuff
Likes:

• Philosophy
  
• Fulfilling his own desire
  
• People he finds interesting
  

Dislikes:

• The religious
  
• The ignorant
  
• Acting when unnecessary
  

Strengths:

• A massively skilled fighter, a master of t’ai chi chu’an, as well as highly skilled with several Chinese weapons.
  
• He is complete master of his body, almost perfectly coordinated through extensive training in t’ai chi.
  
• He’s a published and respected philosopher, having published 2 books on nihilistic theory
  
• Fluent in Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, English and German
  
• He’s incredibly intelligent, easily genius-level, and he’s studied the Sengoku Drivers and Lockseeds extensively. He can manipulate Drivers and Lockseeds in quite a few ways, even, given preparation, remotely.
  

Weaknesses:

• He acts purely on his own self-desire, so he won’t do things if he is not imminently interested
  
• He can be a tad haughty on occasion
  
• He is very much at risk of forcing his own desires on to others
  
• He rarely, if ever, thinks of long-term consequences
  

Goal(s):

• Nothing long-term. He only wishes to do what is relevant to the here-and-now.
  

Habits/ Quirks:

• Generally can be seen reading books written by Friedrich Nietzsche.
  

Relationships:

• Aiko- He sold her the Driver and Lockseeds she uses
  
• Sae- She hates the ever-loving shit out of him. He doesn’t care.
  
• Terumi Hazama- Cousin, he’s vaguely aware of his existence but isn’t interesting in learning about him.
  

Overview: Ryoichi is completely self-obsessed. He doesn’t believe in long-term anything, and only takes on any sort of endeavor if it imminently interests him, and greatly at that. He never thinks of consequences, and he’ll often force others to participate in his self-interests.


Hero Stuff
Name: Armored Rider Zarathustra
Type Of Hero: Kamen Rider
Henshin Device: Sengoku Driver and the Chinese (Apple) Lockseed
Henshin Sequence: He clicks the Chinese seed open, causing the mechanical Chinese apple to appear from the zipper portal above his head with an announcement of “CHINESE!”. He throws the seed into the air and strikes a t’ai chi pose, saying “Henshin” before catching the Seed and locking it into place on his Driver, causing it to announce “LOCK ON!” He moves slowly, eventually pushing the blade itself down as opposed to lifting the handle, causing the Apple to drop onto his head and form his Pre-Arms before creating his actual armor by unfolding.
Forms:

• Form Name: Chinese Arms
  Image/ Description: Quite a simple form, the Pre-Arms is a silver-grey chainmail suit with black hands and lower legs. The armor itself is similar to this, except it’s a red color and the crest on the helmet more resembles an apple stem.
  Motif: Chinese soldier, Chinese apple
  Color Scheme: Red, grey
  Transformation: See above, the announcement is “Sino Cutter!”
  Fighting Style: He uses a minimal movement reactive style, only going on the offensive when it’s opportune for him.
  Weapons: He wields a dao.
  Abilities: Mostly just general enhanced stats
  Finisher(s): General Cut- He triggers the knife, causing it to announce “CHINESE SQUASH!” He spins his sword around a few times, and swings once, causing a massive energy blade to sprout from his blade and cut through the target.
  
  
• Form Name: Wax Gourd Arms
  Image/ Description: Same Pre-Arms, but the armor is more reminiscent of this, but the white is shiny silver and the green is black.
  Motif: Wax gourd
  Color Scheme: Silver, grey, black
  Transformation: See above, but with the Wax Gourd seed, announcement is “Sculpting Knight!”
  Fighting Style: A bit more proactive, using his wax abilities to aid others or himself
  Weapons: He technically has a unique weapon in this form, a mace-like weapon, but he rarely ever uses it.
  Abilities: He can generate and manipulate “wax”, a slightly off-white substance that secretes from his hands as a liquid and hardens near-instantly into a translucent, fairly sturdy substance that absorbs energy attacks and most kinetic attacks. He can use this to make weapons and defensive barricades, or even freeze people in place by encasing them in the stuff.
  Finisher(s): Wax Collapsing- He essentially encases his opponent in a shell of wax several feet thick, then triggers the knife. After the announcement, he delivers a single punch, charging energy into the shell and causing it to collapse inward, crushing the victim trapped inside.
  
  
• Form Name: Wax Jambu Arms
  Image/ Description: Same Pre-Arms, but the armor is reminiscent of this, but no cape, the shoulders are thicker, there’s no square-cut/cut-mango bits, the horns are gone from the helmet, and the red is more of a silver.
  Motif: Wax Jambu
  Color Scheme: Grey, silver, black
  Transformation: See above, using the Jambu Seed. The announcement is “Fight of Sculptor!”
  Fighting Style: Similar to Wax Gourd, but he’s more willing to take more and heavier hits, supplementing his own armor with wax.
  Weapons: He has a hammer in this form, but he treats it the same way as his weapon in Wax Gourd Arms.
  Abilities: He can generate the same wax, and his armor is heavier.
  Finisher(s): Sculptor’s Hell- Essentially a stronger version of Wax Collapsing, using slightly less wax.
  
  
• Form Name: Saw Palmetto Arms
  Image/ Description: Similar to Bravo, but the spikes are shorter and stubbier, the armor is a dull brown, and there’s no mohawk, instead there are scalloped plates on the back of the helmet.
  Motif: Saw palmetto, armor
  Color Scheme: Brown, silver, black
  Transformation: See above, using the Saw Palmetto Seed. The announcement is “Cutting Saws!”
  Fighting Style: A flowing style that could be considered art, each attack flowing into the next.
  Weapons: He wields a pair of serrated swords called the Palmetto Cutters.
  Abilities: His armor is quite strong, and his blades can cut through just about anything.
  Finisher(s): Sawing Breaker- A strong double-slash with the Palmetto Cutters
  

Other Equipment:

• He wears a messenger bag with books, Lockseeds, a pair of butterfly swords, occasionally a rough-built Sengoku Driver and a cellphone.

Hazama’s mother died in childbirth, and his father was a salaryman who was never home. As such, he was raised by his teachers and neighbors. All these people doting on him led to him becoming somewhat self-obsessed. He spent the majority of his time reading and learning things, persuading his neighbor to teach him t’ai-chi when he was 6. He revealed his intelligence in his schooling, never ever doing his homework yet getting absolutely fantastic grades by getting high scores on the tests. He was bullied for a short time in secondary school before he challenged all of his bullies to a fight and defeated them all. He graduated high-school early at age 14, and graduated university at age 18, with a degree in philosophy and history.
He moved to Zawame as he began working on his first book. He worked at the local university to help pay his bills, and took up sculpting and studying various weaponry styles to pass his time. When he managed to get his book published and it took off like a rocket at age 20, he quit his job as a professor to live. He was offered his first Lockseed when he was age 22, and he began studying it extensively. He worked himself into the community, amassing Locks until he gained enough to begin dealing them, purely to study them. He continued studying and training, publishing his second book at age 26.
Just a few years later, he acquired a Sengoku Driver. He began studying it immediately, learning everything he possibly could about it and even attempting to replicate it. He did successfully, more than once, and gave one such Driver to Aiko, along with a few Lockseeds, to allow her to become Gridon. He took the master copy for himself, deciding to become Zarathustra.
