Habits / Quirks:

• When confronted by a situation that sparks annoyance from him, or when he feels he has to do something that has a sense of pointlessness too it, he will usually utter the phrase of "Yare yare..." or "Geez..."
  

Relationships:

• Arata Sakazuki, Father [Deceased]
  
• Yoshihiro Sakazuki, Uncle, [Support; Does maintenance on his bike, as well as lends some money when Shun's in trouble]
  
• Daichi Tachibana, Partner-in-crime [The one who got Shun into the "Courier" business; thus sometimes his partner on deliveries]
  

Overview: Shun Sakazuki is the kind of guy who tries to put on a tough image, he tends to have a short-temper that ends up with him getting into a lot of street brawls, yet his tenacity to "stand on-top" usually gets him through thick-and-thin. He's very questionable about 'why' he has his powers, but thinks despite how monstrous they are they are meant for the greater good. He holds "virtues" in high regard (despite being impatient at times), and has a brotherly relationship with his partner-in-crime, Daichi. He can't stand people who are simply vile and belittle and harm others, when he witnesses this kind of behavior he risks losing himself to the "beast" inside of him.


Hero Stuff
Name: Gills
Type Of Hero: Kamen Rider
Henshin Device: Meta Factor
Henshin Sequence: Shun closes his eyes as he takes a few deep breaths--three to be exact. After the third deep breath the belt begins to form as he 'wills' for it to form physically. Keeping his eyes closed he slowly raises his hands upwards, crossing his arms like an X over his chest as he clenches his teeth. By this point the core of his belt glows--his eyes snapping open as he lets out a yell of "HENSHIN!" while uncrossing his arms powerfully, by the time his arms are uncrossed he is shrouded in a bright green light as he emerges from the light as Kamen Rider Gills.

Forms: Gills, Exceed Gills, Lost Gills

• Form Name: Gills
  Image/ Description: Here
  Motif: Longhorn Beetle
  Color Scheme: Shades of dark green, with some black
  Transformation: See above ^
  Fighting Style: As Kamen Rider Gills, Shun makes primary usage of a kicking type fighting style. In the same vein of Kamen Rider KickHopper, Shun will rely on powerful kicks, sometimes he'll use grabs and maybe a few jabs or hooks but only if the enemy is close enough as he feels more comfortable with kicking.
  Weapons: Gills Claw, Gills Heel Claw
  Abilities: Can extend a "Heel Claw" from either of his heels for a sharp cutting drop-kick; Can also point his index and middle finger at someone and stab them
  Finisher(s): Gills Heel Claw Dropkick
  
  
• Form Name: Exceed Gills
  Image/ Description:
  Color Scheme: Shades of dark green, with some black
  Transformation: From Gills; Shun let his anger erupt, as his eyes as Gills glow a bright red and he clenches his fists tightly, bending his knees the mouth of his 'face' opens and he lets out a blood-curdling roar as his body begins the metamorphosis into Exceed. The additional pieces of Exceed literally forming if not considered bursting from his body in a manner reminiscent to Kamen Rider Shin.
  Fighting Style: As Exceed Gills, Shun is far more aggressive. Making full-on usage of the new 'attacks' and 'techniques' that are now accessible. He no longer fully relies on his kicking fighting style, charging head on and using brutal swipes and up-close kicks. Like this, he is also prone to reckless tactics such as headbutts and if he is capable of it--will even bite the enemy in a manner similar to Kamen Rider Amazon.
  Weapons: Exceed Claw, Exceed Heel Claw, Gills Filler, Gills Stinger
  Abilities: Same as Gills, but can now extend tentacles from his wrist as well as his shoulder blades. He can use these to whip enemies, constrict them, or strangle them. Along with that his abilities from before are enhanced to become far more lethal.
  Finisher(s): Exceed Heel Claw Dropkick
  
  
• Form Name: Lost Gills
  Image/ Description:
  Color Scheme: Shades of dark green, with some black
  Transformation: From Gills; He begins to roar uncontrollably, his belt emitting a bright green glow that fades in and out as his eyes glow red. He drops to his knees, still roaring as his body begins to mutate, but not in the way it does when he becomes Exceed Gills. With the mutations ceasing, he slowly climbs to his feet, panting as new present green veins on his body begin to throb. From his Human Form; Its pretty much the same transformation albeit not as gruesome as instead Shun's just shrouded in a red glow from his belt as he emerges as Lost Gills.
  Fighting Style: As Lost Gills; He stands normally with his back hunched, his arms just hanging in front of him as his body's "green veins" begin to throb. From like this he rushes his enemies, thrashing his arms around with enough force to cause wreckage, as the angrier he gets in this form the more beastile he'll get. To cover long distance he'll run on all fours like a hound, and will even pounce before he tries to slash you with his Hell Claws. Fighting Lost Gills is no different then fighting the most beastile of monsters.
  Weapons: Hell Claw, Hell Heel Claw
  Abilities: Same as Gills; Except on a higher and more dangerous level, becoming faster and physically stronger, Lost Gills is void of all sanity and reasoning--attacking with an intense drive for destruction. Its noted to have lost much "intelligence" due to the loss of sense in this form, but has also developed a faint regenerative ability--although this won't work quick enough should he suffer grave enough injury.
  Finisher(s): Hell Heel Claw Dropkick, Hell Stab, Hell Fang
  

Other Equipment:

• Gills Raider Motorcycle
  

Shun Sakazuki is a young man who has always been accustomed to a solitary kind of life. As a child he was solely raised by his strict father, whom worked in the Police Force, Shun not really the kind to make many friends as he was often a trouble-maker child who started fights and got into arguments. Often, Shun would stay with his Uncle whom, not only taught him how to ride a motorcycle, but he also taught him how to defend himself if he ever got into a serious situation. This being what would allow Shun to develop his personalized fighting style of kicking by the time he reached the age of sixteen.

When Shun had hit the age of twenty though, his life had begun to change for the worst. He learned that his Father had died in the act of duty when he was investigating an unusual occurrence about a string of brutal murders, the only lead being that the victims had all died in savage ways as if a animal or a beast had its way with him or her. Having still been trying to start his own life off, Shun moved in with his Uncle trying to figure out what to do with his life until he developed an obsession with finding out who or what killed his Father.

Shun would go on to abandon his 'responsibilities' and for the next few years he would begin life as a "Courier for Hire"--delivering anything he was hired too alongside his partner-in-crime. This was how he would go on to make his 'living'--now living on his own in a shoddy apartment he felt it was a lackluster life but felt that it may lead him towards discovering his Father's killer one day. Soon enough though, Shun would soon find that his obsession with his Father's killer would almost serve as his own undoing...

...Shun Sakazuki, now age twenty-four, whilst delivering a unusual black box for a client known simply as "Null" found himself trapped by someone who had wanted the box for himself. The man was dressed in all black and obscured his face with a black mask that completely hid all facial features, he had attempted to take it from Shun by force--shooting him three times, piercing the box in the process incidentally. As Shun fell backwards, still holding onto the box, the contents began to glow as they emerged from the box and merged into Shun's body--the seed inside becoming a part of him.

Shun would emerge as a monster who would go on to savagely tear apart the man who had tried to kill him. When he emerged conscious, he found himself alive--although the bullet holes in his body had become faded as if he regenerated and now remembering what had happened. "What's happening to me..?" he would question as he realized his body had mutated as a result of the contents of the black box merging with his body--his obsession of the past beginning to fade as a new issue had presented itself now.

Currently, six years have passed since that day. Shun has learned how to control his newly gained powers--referring to the 'beast' inside of him as "Gills", learning to control his anger he tries to not give into the beast that wishes for him to savagely tear apart whats before him. Although Shun has always kept in mind until now the black spots of his past, now he feels a new obsession developing with wanting to understand the powers he's been 'cursed' with, wondering if they were meant for a vile purpose, or for the greater good.

Sample RP:

"Gggrroowwrrr!!" The beastile howl was heard, as a full moon hung high in the sky of midnight. Street lamps being the only other forms of illumination aside from the moon, as three men in black suits possessing skeletal like masks attempted to flee--feeling terror in their hearts.

One of the fleeing men turned, growing tired of running he pulled a handgun from the inside of his suit coat. Aiming it towards the shadow, he felt his legs tremble as he caught sight of a quickly moving green blur heading for him. "Die, Monster!" The man yelled, firing three rounds. The blur moving left to right--dodging the bullets as it let out a roar, leaping forward it delivered a crushing knee to the man's face as it grabbed it from the side, smashing the face directly into its knee.

The man fell over, unconscious--if not dead from the force of his face being practically crushed by the knee. The other two whom were fleeing let out screams as the green blur--now completely visible began to approach them slowly.

"...You know, I can't stand people who terrorize others." The monstrous figure growled out, taking steps, "Its bastards like you who only fill this city with more trash and make my life harder. Why don't you just disappear!" He let out a roar, running forward--the two men could only scream as they couldn't resist the strength of the beast as they joined their earlier dispatched companion in fate.

Following the little scenario, the green figure walked away--Gills reverting to its 'human' form as the man who was officially designated as Kamen Rider Gills, the young man now thirty years old who went by the name of Shun Sakazuki. He put a hand to his shoulder, clenching it as he sighed heavily, "To think I thought I was going to have a quiet weekend for once..." He looked up at the moon, eyes weighing heavy, "...Looks like some things can never change." He made a cruel laugh as he continued to walk--leaving behind the scene of the three dispatched black suited men.
