Rider Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider KnockOut
Henshin Device/Sequence: KO-Driver - A belt, that at a glance resembles a red and white boxer's championship belt, except with a large, white, gold-edged crystal in the center called the Excel Core, and circuit-esque lines trailing from it to three gold disks on each side.
To call and activate the belt Salvador calls out "POWER UP! KO-DRIVER!", then as the Driver appears around his waist, brings both fists together as the gem starts sending out beams of light, as energy builds around his fists. He then jabs with his right hand, then his left, encasing each in armor, before performing an uppercut as the gem on his belt flashes, encasing his entire body in light, which fades, completing his transformation, which is accompanied by the sound of a boxing bell signalling the start of a match.
Forms:
- Form Name: Sting Form
Appearance: Red with white accents, with a dark red helmet, and a brighter red Y-shaped crest that arches over, and around his large yellow eyes, resembling the front of a boxer's sparring helmet, and a white panel over his mouth. He has armored shoulders, and heavy forearm armor, with the KO-Driver now serving as his belt, the Excel Core also red. His right arm has a gold cylindrical bracer surrounding it that from the front looks (and functions) like a gatling gun. His upper legs are white with red markings, and red boots that resemble heavy boxing boots with a white X across the front.
Transformation: See Henshin Sequence above. Or, from Float form, he again slams his fists together, calling out "FORM CHANGE! STING DRIVER!" As energy builds up, and he mimics his normal Henshin sequence, ending in this form.
Weapons and Abilities:
= KO Boost - Gundown- His KO strikes are all performed with his right hand, and are accompanied by a blast from his Straight Gatling.
= Straight Gatling - He can use his arm gatling gun as a normal machine gun, firing plasma bullets at (usually) groups of weak targets, or to weaken the defenses of a larger target. Fairly weak on his own, Straight Gatling is intended to boost his punches.
Finisher(s): Final Round! - This opens up all finishers, forming the ropes of a boxing ring out of energy around him and his opponent, and forms a second Straight Gatling on his left arm. He then follows with one of the following.
KO Straight Gatling Cross! - If not already in punching range, Kamen Rider KO will rush into melee range at high speed, and perform a powerful straight right cross into the target's chest. Then, his Straight Gatling slams forward around his fist against the target, and starts firing, the bullets blasting out of the target's back.
KO Straight Gatling Upper! - At punching range, KO performs a vicious uppercut, and his Straight Gatling slams forward around his fist, all barrels firing simultaneously through where the punch lands, or explode around his fist if it's a punch to the head.
If successful, as the target is destroyed/defeated, there's the sound of a boxing bell announcing the end of a round/match. - Form Name: Float Form
Appearance: As Sting Form, with a long, curved back pair of antennae instead of the normal Y crest arcing over blue eyes, without the armor on the shoulders, or the heavier armor on the arms or boots, with the Excel Core on the KO-Driver now blue. The Straight Gatling is replaced on his right hand by an armored gauntlet with a visible panel on the back of his arm, and the sides, that can open to reveal a rocket thruster, and he now wears a blue scarf of the same shade as the KO Driver's Excel Core.
Transformation: While in Sting Form, KO yells "FORM CHANGE! FLOAT DRIVER!" and shifts his feet rapidly, kicking up a cloud of dust around him, and a bell announces a period between rounds as light flashes from inside the cloud, before the cloud is blown outward, accompanied by the sound of the bell again, and he is now in this form.
Weapons and Abilities: Float form is naturally MUCH faster than Sting form, and can in fact almost seem to teleport over short distances, while bobbing and weaving will leave phantom images behind to fool his opponents. However, its single blows are significantly weaker, forcing it to rely on combos.
= KO Boost - Float Phantom - KO Strikes in this form are accompanied by blue phantom images that will repeat the blow at -least- twice.
= Hook Booster - The gauntlet on his right arm can open those three panels, revealing small rocket thrusters that will propel his arm in a powerful right hook, or, despite the name, any number of other punches. He can also use this as a form of very rough flight.
= Light Speed Jabbing - KO will go into a series of rapid, lightning fast jabs, accompanied by Float Phantoms to essentially pummel a target into a weakened state. He may bob and weave around the target if they're resilient enough to counter while he performs this attack.
Finisher(s): Final Round! - This opens up all finishers, forming the ropes of a boxing ring out of energy around him and his opponent, and forms a second Hook Booster on his left arm. He then follows with one of the following.
KO Hook Booster Jabbing! - Dashing forward, he'll perform an attack similar to Light Speed Jabbing, except that each blow is boosted by the thrusters on his arms, pounding big dents into the target, or even possibly punching holes -through- them.
KO Hook Booster Riser! - At melee range, KO will speedball punch the target's head for several seconds, then wind up his right hand as the Hook Booster builds up power, then performs a powerful rising cross that may possibly send the target hurtling out of sight to explode in midair.
If successful, as the target is destroyed/defeated, there's the sound of a boxing bell announcing the end of a round/match. - Form Name: Champion Form
Appearance: As Sting Form, with a scarf similar to Float Form's in gold, with a more ornate Y crest, also gold, and gold accenting on all armor, the eyes now white, while the Excel Core is yellow, resembling gold, and making the KO Driver resemble a Championship belt even further. On each arm is a combined Straight Gatling, and Hook Booster, also entirely gold.
Transformation: KO holds both fists up in the air, like a boxer celebrating his victory, the gesture accompanied by a ringing bell, and calls out "FORM CHANGE! CHAMPION OVERDRIVE!" as a sheet or energy falls down over him, forming into a stylized hooded robe worn by boxers stepping into the ring. He performs several warm-up punches, then grabs the robe as the Exel Core on his belt glows yellow, and light flares around him as he tears the robe away, accompanied by disembodied camera flashes as his transformation into Champion Form completes, finishing with a bell announcing the "next round".
Weapons and Abilities:
= Champ's Might - ALL straight punches (Jabs and Crosses) are now accompanied by gunfire from his Champ Gatling, and all Hooks and Uppercuts are accelerated by his Champ Booster.
= G-Force Champion Hook - Performs an accelerated hook, which is then accompanied by a blast from all barrels.
= G-Force Champion Upper - As Champion Hook, except an uppercut that might send his target flying for a few seconds, leaving them open for...
= Golden Glove Gatling - He brings up both arms, and opens fire with all twelve barrels.
= (DRAWBACK) Timed Round! / TKO! - Champion Form can only be maintained for three minutes. If he fights beyond this point, the KO-Driver announces "TKO!" And forces reversion out of Rider form, and cannot be reactivated for some time.
Finisher(s):Final Round! - This opens up all finishers, forming the ropes of a boxing ring out of energy around him and his opponent as energy forms around his fists, making them further resemble Golden boxing gloves. He then follows with the following.
KO FINAL BOUT! - KO charges forward, and starts into a series of enhanced jabs, transitioning into power-boosted hooks, then a powerful right cross into the target's chest, triggering a KO Straight Gatling Cross like sequence of gunfire blasting through the target, then another series of jabs, and then a booster-assisted left uppercut, launching the target up and out of sight to be accompanied by an explosion.
If successful, as the target is destroyed, there's the sound of a boxing bell announcing the end of a round/match.
Other Equipment:
- Cell Phone
- Streetbuster, his Rider Machine, used both in and out of Rider forms, though he can't go at full speed when he's not in Rider Gear.
Inside Stuff
Personality: Salvadore's a rather confident man, at least when it comes to his skills in the ring, which extends to his battles against various breeds and broods of monsters. However, he's more than willing to admit when a subject's beyond him, and pass something on to someone more capable than him. Unless, of course, this involves duking it out.
He's very loyal once his trust is earned, however, more often than not the best way to earn this trust is to go toe-to-toe with the boxing Kamen Rider. After all, the best way to get to know another fighter is to face them in the ring!
Strengths:
- Professional boxing training.
- Mental resilience, his willpower gets him through in the ring, and in the field.
- Him being an up and coming name in boxing can sometimes be used to his advantage, maybe giving an autograph in exchange for a favor.
Weaknesses:
- Can sometimes be OVERconfident, and wind up over his head in a fight. Whether as a Kamen Rider or not.
- He's a bit lacking in the technological expertise, so shouldn't be relied on to disable some villainous device unless just breaking it would work.
- He's rather inexperienced at the whole "Kamen Rider" thing, and tends to get by on the fact trouble comes to him, and he can take care of himself. He's not even aware there ARE other Kamen Riders, or that he is one.
- He's also incredibly allergic to strawberries.
History: From an early age, it seemed Salvador, or just "Sal" to his friends, was destined to fight, even if boxing didn't seem the obvious result. finding himself in a school system that seemed unwilling to enforce its own rules, Salvador took it upon himself to keep smaller kids out of trouble, a result of good upbringing from his grandmother and parents. Eventually, however, his parents felt he needed a focus for the aggression he was taking out on bullies at school, and enrolled the boy, now fourteen, into boxing classes, insisting that he take every precaution he could despite it.
He was hooked. Something about the sport latched onto the boy, driving him to excel, and so he did, making his way into the amateur boxing circuit once he was old enough, about six years ago. Still an amateur, but now on the brink of professional boxing several months ago, Sal found himself in Las Vegas during an attack by monsters. What kind wasn't important to him at the time as he found himself trying to face their foot soldiers, powers or no. And as all seemed lost, he found it, in the rubble of a building, and as he took the belt in hand, it teleported itself around his waist.
As if possessed, Salvador, for the first time, then called on the KO-Driver, and as he called out "POWER UP!", history changed, and Kamen Rider KnockOut was born!
Since then, three months later, he's tried to find a balance between protecting people, and maintaining his boxing career, but as time goes on, he's begun finding the monster killing to feel more rewarding.
Anything Else:
At the moment, I'm honestly unsure of a SOURCE for the KO-Driver, so for now, it's origins will remain mysterious and unknown.
Kamen Rider KnockOut's theme (Pretty obvious)
Sample RP:
Salvador was starting to feel a bit stir crazy, cruising on Streetbuster down the busy streets of Vegas, humming to himself. It wasn't even a week since he'd last gone a few rounds with a monster trying to apparently transform some kid into a monster, and here he was, hoping for another to turn up.
And then, a scream from nearby. The man leaped into action, swinging his Rider Machine around, and roaring down the street towards where a Phantom resembling a snake had a woman surrounded by Ghouls. "Give into desssspair, girl!" The monster hissed, as Salvador came to a stop, climbing off his bike.
"HEY!" The Phantom and its minions turned, regarding this apparently crazy man approaching them. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size!"
The serpent hissed wickedly, seeming to chuckle as it turned. "Like you, foolissh human? Who do you think you are?"
Salvador smirked a bit, bringing his fists forward. "I'd tell you, but it's faster to just show you! "POWER UP! KO-DRIVER!"
