Ride Alone Complex/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A breakdown of the characters in Ride Alone Complex. Remember, tropes specific to one character's assets go here, not on the main page!


Justice Unlimited Nocturne-Kinetic Elimination Riders

Haruka Emmerich / Kamen Rider Avalanche Kivaara and Kamen Rider Libera

Genius, badass, sex on legs, Sirknight Fangire (hence "sex on legs")...and suffering from deep-seated acceptance issues.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Yukari Arukama / Kamen Rider Kiva

The oreo in FangOreo (well, she's at the center, anyway), and Development & Pioneer's president.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Canon Immigrant: From KRV proper.
  • Freudian Trio: Fulfills multiple roles within the FangOreo:
    • As the Id: Always appreciates a good cuddle.
    • As the Ego: Keeps a cool head about in most situations. Counter to Haruka's Id.
  • Mama Bear: Her apparent first reaction to Haru being endangered is to barrel through a shopping plaza on a perma-Buroon-mounted Machine Kivaa. As Kiva Emperor.
  • Power Limiter: Kiva Emperor's "Mezzo Forte" regulators, ostensibly meant to prevent its sheer power from going all over the place.
  • The Tease: Quite subtle about it compared to, say, Haruka. (Of course, having Kaoru on hand to proxy things might help a bit.)

Royce Atrocitas / Kamen Rider Orga and OOOs

JUNKER's R&D Department Head and general disco fiend and ass woman.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Kaoru Midorikawa / Kamen Rider Blade

JUNKER's Trooper Commander and our resident Navy Joker. Delivers chocolates personally to her troopers.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Apocalypse Maiden: Being a Joker is kinda supposed to mean Kaoru is liable to scrub the planet clean of life with kaijin should she be the last Undead standing (Class 3a to Class 4 on the Apocalypse How scale). Luckily JUNKER is apparently working on a facsimile to alleviate that...
  • Canon Immigrant: From KRV proper.
  • Freudian Trio: Fulfills multiple roles within the FangOreo:
    • As the Ego: Counter to Haruka's Id, and reasonable enough about matters of the heart to co-opt her Superego.
    • As the Superego: Knows her place as the Navy Joker and does her damnedest to stay above it.
  • Most Common Superpower: Described off the bat as having "breasts that should be illegal."

Aelita Schaeffer / Kamen Rider ZX

Freshly de-aged and with a craving for gachapon-filled chocolate eggs, Aelita is JUNKER's Chief Instructor.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Kenoko Ni'Chulainn / Kamen Rider 2 Kamen Rider Calibur

Smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish. Runs the Lion's Pride Junkyard, and wants nothing to do with JUNKER. Unfortunately...

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Rebecca Hill / Kamen Rider Black (temporarily SHOCKER-verse Kamen Rider Decade)

Promoted Osutrooper with confidence issues.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Asskicking Equals Authority: In her intro, she managed to take out a giant Yummy with a Mauve Shirt tier belt (Osu Trooper).
  • Badass Normal: During the first two weeks in-game, she was the only vanilla human in the bunch. Everyone else was a Showaborg, an Orphenoch, a Fangire, a Worm, and in Kaoru's case an Undead.
    • By the time week 3 rolled around, Kuuga and KB Den-O both had human users.
  • Broken Pedestal: While at first glance Becca has proven she's quite skilled, Rebecca has outright admitted she only joined D&P because she needed a job and the only other place that would take her was a bakery.
  • Competence Zone: She's outright stated she's scared she's outside it.
  • Face Heel Turn: When Rebecca is kidnapped by Tenpai, Tenpai managed to unintentionally convince Rebecca to join him.
  • Fatal Flaw: A one-two-three punch of a missing sense of self-confidence, not getting any attention to the point of non-projecting, and an inferiority complex, all of which were exacerbated to the nth degree thanks to Rio training.
  • Informed Flaw: Anger issues. Stated to be a problem for her before joining D&P, though it hasn't come up during the actual course of play.
    • At least until we started to see her as Violent Emotion Decade. The name sounds like it's made of and for anger issues.
  • Luminescent Blush
  • Mauve Shirt: Started play as one and got promoted quickly.
  • Not a Morning Person: Noted, but nowhere near Kenoko's tier of morning laziness. Case in point: Becca can get up under her own steam in the morning.
  • The Spartan Way: D&P Los Angeles compensated for not having any available Rider-tier belts by putting their Riotroopers into Training from Hell.
  • White-Haired Pretty Girl

Arikado Haru / Kamen Rider Saga (and sometimes IXA)

Apparently FangOreo's (primarily Yukari and Kaoru's) adopted daughter, and Fangire Princess.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Mizuho Miyuki / Kamen Rider Agito

... a ninja or something?[please verify]

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Michelle Lukles / Kamen Rider V3

BEST MUM EVER, having undergone a Showaborg conversion to get back at the monsters who took her husband away.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Baraen Akebara / Kamen Rider Proto-DCD

Half-Fangire daughter of now-deceased Baraen Yuriko, and surrogate daughter to Wyll Ascher... and professional gambler.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Adrenaline Makeover: After she goes Cheetah Fangire for the first time, Ake reverts to her still-bloodstained (and other things not worth mentioning-stained) pit-fighting outfit and a JUNKER hoody.
  • Broken Bird: Massive Foreshadowing of it, but it's decisive when she admits to Haru that she's not used to being treated as a person.
  • Canon Immigrant: From Super Robot Wars G, with her original player at the helm.
  • Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: Being Wyll's protege, Ake attempts (and thusfar succeeds) to invoke this trope.
  • Fun T-Shirt: "I taught your girlfriend that thing you like."
  • The Gambler: Complete with lucky coin she makes her decisions with.
  • Headphones Equal Isolation: Averted; Akebara is quite outgoing. Of course, it's entirely possible that she's only wearing her headphones clipped to her breast pocket to draw attention to her, well, breasts.
    • And then revealed to be a subversion when it turns out she's more isolated than anyone else in the cast.
  • Legacy Character: Sort of - she's Wyll's adopted daughter and is carrying on with his Proto-Decade Driver, but she wants to avoid his legacy. His methods, on the other hand, she's somewhat liberal with.
  • Little Miss Badass: Being Yuriko's daughter, it's probably genetic.
  • One of Us: Get her started on Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Kamen Rider. Now try and shut her up.
  • Self-Made Orphan: Sorta. Her mother died in childbirth, but her father was an abusive dick, and when he beats her bloody she wishes he was dead just as Wyll walks by...
  • Take That: Appears to be one against KRV proper, via very dark twist on the rampant sex (or, as some of the fandom calls it, "whore lolis") that dominated that game.
    • Confirmed for one with recent reveals.
  • Unperson: A sorta-kinda example. Akebara has so many layers of "mask" that she's completely unused to people referring to her as a person. Which is why Haru's treatment of her as "Ake" (instead of "breasts" like most of the rest of the cast) draws out such a strong emotional response.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Like Wyll before her, Ake is hypoglycemic.
  • What Have I Become?: Played with. It initially looks like Ake bypasses two out of four Stages of Monster Grief, moving right to "Acceptance", but it's more that she went through Denial and Defiance simultaneously during the first few weeks (and her backstory), and Haruka really knows how to give someone a talking to.
  • Half-Fangire Needs FN-TAU Badly: Akebara is hypermetabolic. Most Fangires can go for about two months without a shot of TAU (or life-force if you're still a bad not!vampire). Ake? Ten-ish minutes.

Me-Kuja-Ku "Jack" Sears / Kamen Rider ZO (and apparently now Kamen Rider Super-1)

A mecha otaku dancing the fine line between Super Robot and Real Man.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Punchy

Kenoko's best friend, and the resident Meta Guy.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Pacifica Garstein / Kamen Rider Diend

The cold, calculating Treasure Sniper.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Korin Takeba / Kamen Rider Faiz

A girl friend of Haru's, and a speedily repurposed medical intern.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Autovajin Unit 3

Korin's slightly snarky bike, with an artistic eye for his "father's" craft.


Alexander Winger / Kamen Rider Birth

A boy friend of Haru's and Mauve Shirt extraordinaire.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Shizuo Takarai / Kamen Rider KB Den-O

A hair-triggered gent who CLEARLY doesn't know his own strength.


Madoka Saki / Kamen Rider Amazon

Gao?[please verify]

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Luca Leide / Kamen Rider Solaris

...Wait, when did Motoko Kusanagi get a Rider Gear?

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Vincent Roa / Kamen Rider Orgone

Youngest member of the Lukles clan... And nowhere near as lucky as his father or grandmother before him.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Akebara: You look like an orange-flavoured condom.

Kouta Tsukamoto / Kamen Rider Kuuga

Holy crap a Kuuga who didn't learn his trade from being shot by Faiz.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • The Apprentice: Kouta is one of the only cast members with no battle experience, though it's been implied he's not unused to hand-to-hand combat. Recently apprenticed himself to Kenoko for learning about how to use his weapons.
  • Black Eyes Take Warning: When the threat of Black-Eyes Ultimate is referenced, Kouta's eyes have a tendency to appear black, though it's supposedly just a trick of the light.
  • For Happiness: Variation - much of Kouta's sense of justice comes from not doing things you realize you'll regret looking back on it.
  • Heroic Bystander / Right Man in the Wrong Place: This is how Kouta ended up getting the Kuuga belt in the first place.
  • Noodle Incident: Count the Noodles! Implements leading to his pre-JUNKER unemployment apparently include a slushie machine, a pack of microwaveable fried chicken, a rubber-band ball, and all of Aisle 6.
  • Rookie Red Rider: Because the events of Hour of the Void took place nearly forty years before he was born, Kouta is one of the only cast members not jaded about it. He also doesn't know much about how JUNKER operates as a result.

Wyll Ascher / Kamen Rider T2 Xtreme

Lemony-fresh proprietor of the resident Good Guy Bar, Irish Mist, and now R&D lackey (confined to such due to causing a mess as Mahjong Rider Tenpai). Seems significantly less of a Jerkass than his KRV incarnation.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

As Mahjong Rider Tenpai:

  • Affably Evil: Oh yes. Right down to apologizing to Becca for the backfist that took her out and giving her an ice-pack for it.
  • Curb Stomp Battle: What else do you call him soldiering through JUNKER like the Troopers aren't even there?.
  • Dark Messiah: An extremely charismatic example; his sales pitch managed to convince someone out of character.
  • Mahjong: Themed after the Dragon bonus tiles.
  • Non-Lethal KO: Oddly enough, though he did completely brick Xander and Akemi's Osu-Drivers in the process.
  • No Place for Me There:

Tenpai: I intend to seal the Rider Gear away. Myself, too, so that they can never be abused.

Lexi Verto

A ten-year-old seemingly-Emotionless Girl wearing Elegant Gothic Lolita picked up by Xander in an early mini-arc. Actually far younger and far more important to Wyll's seemingly eternal youth, being a recently-constructed Artificial (but not Trial) Undead.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Child Prodigy: Shows shades of it - such as absorbing virtually all the Shinkenger-related information in a matter of minutes. All while demanding fortune cookies. Which she doesn't know how to eat properly.
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita
  • Innocent Prodigy: On the one hand, Lexi's guardian trusts her enough to wander about on her own and make her own decisions. On the other hand, she tends to lock people into an Infinite Why Loop and doesn't seem to have a solid concept of friendship, and still acts childish (she drinks her soda with a sippy-straw and attaches herself to Korin like a little sister).
  • Opposite Gender Clone: Of Vincent, genetic modification into an Undead notwithstanding. This explains why they share hair and eye colour.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Except apparently not, since she's relaxed and kinda shy.
  • Red Herring: Initially spelled "Leksi" to divert players' attention from her via the phonetic spelling. But then Lexi was never mentioned by name when operating as Tenpai's informant, so...
  • Translation Convention: According to Word of Player, Lexi speaks entirely in Keigo.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair: She does.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: At Grade A, having two of the components needed for Grade S (socks and skirt, well, dress, and hair) but lacking the Tsundere personality to go with it.

Miyami Reimei / Kamen Rider BLASTER/BURST

An amnesiac (and half-scrambled, as originally found) Showaborg, and the newest addition to Lion Squadron.


Tachibana Heavy Industries / Strike Against Uncooperative Lifeform

Change Machine / Kamen Rider G3-X and G4

THI's CEO. Doesn't do cake.


Tsukiyama Tomoe / Kamen Rider the First and "N-Tsukiya-Zeba"

THI's Chairwoman of the Board.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Katze Kolonos / Kamen Rider Odin

Is apparently FABULOUS.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Henne Valkyria / Kamen Rider Femme

THI's Orphenoch security chief, looking to break free from her family legacy.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Kyon Feulion / "Lyrical Weapon"

SAUL R&D head, sewer of body pillows, and probably a couple other creepy things.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Caris Nautilus / (G)X Rider

An apparent subordinate of Henne's, and a rush-job Showaborg.


Ikaruga Trust

Gard Kreuger/Meteor Dopant

Unseen so far, but apparently NOT a Char Clone.


Zeru Jupit and Juno Hera/Kamen Rider Blitz

Unseen so far, but apparently NOT Double.


Athle Arcadia/Kamen Rider Trinity

Apparently NOT Accel.


Blood Keel/Kamen Rider Hydra

Apparently NOT Eternal. Definitely NOT Robo-Jesus.


Leviathe Kanon/Bloodler Dopant

Apparently looking to make it big with her Prince, even if it means toying with his plans.


International Characters (America)

Lydia Salinas / Cure Bunny

One of the two arrivals from America for All Riders. Not actually a Kamen Rider, but has powers like one all the same.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Tricia Norfleet / Cure Carrot

Lydia's partner and fellow Cure. She's energetic, bouncy, and barring Aelita the best hacker in game.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Layered Electronic Organism "Leo"

The nanite colony responsible for giving Lydia and Tricia their powers.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Joseph Black

Yes, that Joseph Black.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Canon Immigrant: from Viewtiful Joe. Hardly the first to come straight out of a work, but definitely the first wholesale lifting of a non-RP character.
  • Genius Bruiser: He knew the toku genre well enough to know that scrawny wimpy kids would be at a disadvantage, even with super-powered bug suits. Time will tell whether this equates with him Taking A Level In Badass.
  • Hot-Blooded: Not the biggest example of one you'll ever meet, especially with Silvia being who-knows-where, but one nonetheless.
  • Mr. Fixit: At least in the sense that he applied his knowledge to his love of the toku genre (see Otaku trope below), and ended up doing a whole lot of good with it.
  • Otaku: of the toku genre. In fact, so much so, that when he found some schematics at Silvia's house, he Jumped At The Non-Existent Call and built a functional henshin device with them.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: One of the few things that didn't entirely carry over from canon Joe, at the writer's request.
    • The only place where the two of them might be on the same intellectual footing is business sense, as seen in his introduction.


International Characters (East Asia)

Sport Rangers

Thailand's Super Sentai pastiche, and would-be victims of corporate sabotage at All-Riders.


Armor Heroes

China's half-Rider, half-Sentai corps, seemingly with a bone to pick with the Sport Rangers.


Adriel Deleron / RayDragon

Butt Monkey of Korea's "Special Effect Trooper Rayforce". Befriended by JUNKER and promptly promoted to Hibiki.


Independents, Grunts & Bystanders

Akemi Arata

One of Rebecca's ZECTroopers (and later BirthTrooper 7). Made queasy by Lucky Clover busts.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Trio: Part of Jackpot Squadron, along with Gary and Xander.

Zu-Gara-Da "Gary" Oku

Another of Rebecca's subordinates (and later GetterTrooper 7). Set the "Grongi = Bad Cockney" precedent the campaign is following.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Fake Brit: Bad Cockney when Haken is playing him, and better Cockney (complete with Rhyming Slang) when Axel is playing him (though Axel is Australian, so he's closer to Real Brit than anyone except Raven, who is actually British).
  • Trio: Part of Jackpot Squadron, along with Xander and Akemi.

Ivan Pupurin

Squad leader and wheelman of 10th ZECT. His childishness is matched only by his competence.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Alex Lukles

Backup barman (now owner) at the Irish Mist. Takes the payments Wyll won't.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Greywolf

A vigilante Wolf Orphenoch with a brutal streak. Is actually Alex on the off-chance that he gets sufficiently pissed off.

Marufuji Ryou

Just some limey fellow. Who's sometimes possessed by ex-Ryuga Arisato Miki.


Arisato Miki / Kamen Rider Ryuga

Just some hyperactive spirit with a Rider Gear. Considering the Gear, this is probably bad news.


Stuart Seacreep / Rider-1

Kenoko's beleaguered next-in-command from the Crystal Fire days.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Ace Nero and Sieg / Kamen Rider Wing

Fugitives from a dark future, who apparently think Becca is royalty.


Masaki Shinohana / Masked Rider

Currently operating just outside of JUNKER jurisdiction as one of Riderdom's most reviled belts.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Jumped At the Call: Given some of the other personality traits that he has, no one should be surprised by his reaction to being offered the Masked Rider belt for no reason that's apparent to him.
  • Hot-Blooded: Given that he's based off of Anime Tenchou, a.k.a. the hat-wearing fellow seen here, does this really come as a surprise?
  • Large Ham: Once again, he has enough energy in his thoughts, words, and actions for at least two other people, thanks to his personality template. See the above link.
    • For example, he has transformed or almost transformed when JUNKER higher-ups haven't wanted him to do so on two separate occasions. One of those times was almost immediately after being granted his belt.
    • Ake will never be amused by him. Ever.
  • Lethal Joke Character: There's a slight possibility of things panning out this way. Haruka seems to think it will.
  • Otaku: Specifically, towards Rider-tech. It's hard to tell whether he's more or less of one than Joe.
  • Shout-Out: To Anime Tenchou, the man who works behind the counter of a Japanese equivalent to a bookstore, and always tries to make Konata buy stuff.

Villains

SHOCKER Nexus Assault Trooper Chronological Hegemony Ensure Regiment

A macabre mix of Gedoushuu, Imagin, Void Hour-facsimile Hoppers with Gaia Memory AI cores, and goodness knows what else.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Make Wrong What Once Went Right: This new breed of SHOCKER goons hails from the KRV timeline as it was "supposed" to progress (so far as Ace and Sieg know), but couldn't invade Void Hour to ensure their own existence due to a TSPD lockdown.

Checkmate Four

Traditionalist Neo-Fangires with a bone to pick against The Unmasqued World that the Void Hour vets have brought about between their prior service and DevPio's circulation of FN-TAU. Especially pissed off at Yukari for anything from weaning Fangires off other sentients to not rolling over and being some noodle rapist's doll-bride.


Terra Geist

Pro-humanity terrorists wielding the Z-series Gaia Memories pioneered by the Ikaruga Trust. Pegged as all but one and the same, given recent events.


Hardboiled Pink Lemonade

Wyll Ascher / Kamen Rider Proto-DCD

The Lemon half of the Counterfeit Riders.


Aelita Schaeffer / Kamen Rider ZX

The Pink half of the Counterfeit Riders.


Kenoko Ni'Chulainn / Rider-2

SHOCKER's ace enforcer, and one of the few things that can stymie the Counterfeit Riders in singular combat.
