Overview: Trois is hard to sum up in a few words. He is normally very cunning. He is somewhat sadistic usually, enjoying the feeling of a hunt. Finn enjoys taunting his targets, trying to break them down mentally. While Trois does like to talk, he will refuse to repeat himself because he shouldn’t have to waste his breath for those who couldn’t hear or (god forbid) weren’t paying attention. However when you make Trois mad there is only one action you can take; run. No, just run and try not to piss yourself. Trois has a short fuse and when you piss him off he will not hesitate to turn into either of his forms and tear you limb from limb (if you’re lucky).


Villain Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider Beast
Type Of Hero: (Fallen) Mage Rider
Henshin Device: Beast Driver, Beast Rings
Henshin Sequence: Trois swipes his Driver On Ring over the Beast Driver, forming it. He then puts his Lion Ring in the slot and turns it. The Beast Driver opens, creating a gold seal which Trois walks through. The armor forms as he walks through the seal. As he does the belt chants “L-I-O-N! LION!” Trois hasn’t figured out how to stop this from happening.
Forms:

• Form Name: Kamen Rider Beast
  Image/ Description: 1, 2, 3
  Motif: Lion, Cape, Rings
  Color Scheme: Black, Gold
  Transformation: Detailed above
  Fighting Style: Trois uses a savage fighting style. He uses his sword to slash and tear enemies apart. He then will consume his fallen enemies mana (or in nonmagical creatures their life force) so that he can replenish his own powers.
  Weapons: Dice Saber
  Abilities: Beast can grant himself new powers based on the Mants (colored half capes with animal themes attached to his left shoulder) that he summons. The orange Falco Mant allows the user to fly at high speeds. The green Chameleo Mant gives the user the ability to blend into their surroundings. The red Buffa Mant gives Beast enhanced strength and durability. Dolphin Mant allows Beast to swim at high speeds and it has healing magic (that he never uses). While fighting, Trois can steal mana from his enemies to refuel himself. He can also summon items through his own Connect Ring.
  Finisher(s): Saber Strike: Saber Strike is a slashing attack that is preformed differently depending on which Mant and Color Ring is in use. Saber Strike isn’t technically named; the name Saber Strike is called by the sword.
  Kick Strike: A rider kick charged with golden/orange/green/blue/red energy using the Kick Strike Ring. Technically the attack isn’t named; the name Kick Strike is called by the sword.
  

Villain Stuff
Name: Gryphon Phantom
Type Of Villain: Phantom
Henshin Device: Trois IS the Gryphon Phantom.
Henshin Sequence: Trois’s body cracks and gives way to his Phantom form.
Forms:

• Form Name: Gryphon Phantom – Warrior Mode (Stage 1)
  Image/ Description: The Gryphon Phantom naturally has a body similar to that of a lion that walks on two legs with an eagle’s head. The body is largely gold, with armored look to it. The chest has a symbol etched into the “armor plating” of a black eagle with its wings spread in flight. The greaves, gauntlets, belt, and underarmor are likewise gold. The “boots” resemble talons, with said talons being more than capable of grabbing things or slashing people. Likewise, the tips of his gloved fingers are clawed. The head resembles an eagle’s head with cat ears matching the color of the face. This of course means that instead of a mouth and nose the form has a slightly curved beak. The whites of the eyes are gold with red irises around the pupil. The eagle wings are entirely gold with black armor plating on the joints and red crystals in the armoring. The wings seemingly appear and vanish as needed, possibly to keep them from being damaged.
  Motif: Phantom, Gryphon
  Color Scheme: Gold, Black, Red
  Transformation: Detailed above
  Fighting Style: In close range combat the Gryphon Phantom is a force to be reckoned with. The skin of the Gryphon Phantom is likewise armored, and if he needs distance he can easily fly. He can break brick walls with a punch, and he can do similar things to people with his sword.
  Weapons: Trois’s claws, talons, and on occasion his beak. This form also has a longsword. The hilt of the longsword is black with a red trip and a pure gold (colored, not the metal) blade.
  Abilities: The Gryphon Phantom can fly, moving much faster in the air than he can on the ground. It also has super strength and can conjure black flames as projectiles, as well as raining down bladed feathers.
  Finisher(s): N/A
  

Mecha Name: Beastchimera
Type Of Mecha: (Artificial) Phantom
Image/ Description: Here
Motif: Chimera, Lion, Buffalo, Falcon, Chameleon, Dolphin
Abilities: It can be summoned from anywhere via the Chimerarise Ring. It relies on its strength and massive size to rip and tear enemies apart.
Megazord Component: N/A

Other Equipment:

• Gryphon PlaMonster: A green Griffon PlaMonster used for recon. It was Trois’s from when he was Hex. It doesn’t trust him as much as it used to, possibly because he became a Phantom.
  
• A lion themed black motorcycle
  
• Beastchimera
  

History

Like Anna, Finn is one of the many men and women to pick up the mantle of Kamen Rider Hex. He and Anna grew up with their patents in a suburb of Vegas, living as quiet a life as you can with magic running in the family. Finn always thought that his parents preferred Anna over him, but those fears left him as soon as he was told that he would be the twelfth Kamen Rider Hex. Finn was ecstatic; he would be the person to finally bring Hex to its full power and glory. He was trained from when he was fifteen, using a spare Hex belt to nurture the powers of the twelfth and final animal, the tiger.

Anna got to ignore all training and live a normal life. At first he thought she had gotten the raw end of the deal, but as time went by his mind changed. In the Grace family every twelfth birthday was special; you would pay tribute to the animal who’s year you were born in. So of course Anna had a Rat themed birthday party. Finn had only attended the party because he needed to talk to his father about a ring he was trying to make; a Lion ring. But on that day he saw his father Alexander hold a private magic ritual involving Anna’s picture and a black kitten. When Finn asked his father all he said was that he was “atoning for past sins.”

Finn became Hex two years later on his 24th birthday, as was the tradition of the family. While he had been using the belt and powers on occasion when his father couldn’t step in himself, he finally felt the full power of his magic. moved to Los Angeles with his father, as it was a hotbed of dangerous, damaging magic. Finn’s mother Elaine stayed behind in Las Vegas so that Anna didn’t have to change schools. This strained their relationship. Despite only seeing her at holidays, Alexander often raved about how well Anna was doing with her now developing magic.

Finn usually only got to see Anna at Christmas, but he made a point of going to her twenty-fourth birthday party. Anna jokingly stated that if something happened to Finn that she could always step in, with Finn similarly stating that she would be perfect for the unlucky thirteenth. Finn offered her the belt he had been working on, Kamen Rider Beast. He’d managed to finally finish the Lion ring, and created more rings using the spirits of the Chameleon, Buffalo, Dolphin, and the actual Falcon (the original user of the Chicken ring butched up the name). However, when Alexander heard this he seemed to enjoy the thought of Anna becoming Hex and Finn using Beast.

In the days that followed, Finn started piecing everything together after a viewing of Fruit’s Basket (inspiration can come from weird places); the Cat was supposed to be a member of the Zodiac but the Rat tricked it. After reading Alastair Grace’s journals, he soon found that Alastair had created the Hex system by borrowing the powers of the Zodiac animals (represented by Phantoms) to colored stones. He promised the Cat that its powers would be harnessed, but had run out of stone. When Alastair’s daughter Abigail replaced him she shunned the Cat, strengthening her own Rat ring with the new stone her father found. The Cat responded by shattering all of the Hex rings but her father’s Dog ring, meaning that each set of rings had to be remade. It told her that “Only a Grace born in the year of the Rat can break the Curse Of The Cat.”

As soon as Finn realized this he snapped, believing that the entire time his father was manipulating his children to fix an old score. He was nothing more than filler. Finn snapped and renounced his name. He fell into despair, becoming the Gryphon Phantom. When the Hex Driver and Gauntlet (the original, not the spare) he was wearing shattered he became Kamen Rider Beast. He killed his father, and sent the rings to his sister. He figured that if she was meant to be Hex, he’d kill her (or drag her into despair) as Hex. Finn took the name Trois after joining CIPHRA, having gone nameless until then.

OOC Stuff
Anything Else: His history is the OTHER side of the story of Anna’s history (they are siblings afterall). This both allows me to elaborate on her past (something I didn’t do) AND explains how Hex works! (Whoot, Retcon!) Her history still happened the same way as described.
OOC Name: Crimson
Name Color: FFD700
Number Of Stars 3
Color Of Stars Red
Sample RP: Trois watched as his target through the office building, hidden from sight with his Chameleo Mant. He was following a male gate. Asian male, early thirties. Trois never bothered with names, hell he rarely bothered with Gates. He only did so when he had nothing to do. The gate was talking to the secretary as she prepared to leave. The two were flirting. Trois noticed that the gate was wearing a wedding band, but not the secretary. Trois took note of this, recording the flirting with his cellphone.

As the two continued to flirt, Trois walked behind the secretary. With one movement he grabbed the woman by the throat, squeezing it tight enough that she couldn’t scream but not tight enough so that he snapped her neck, and yanked her upwards. The gate stumbled backwards, screaming as he watched the woman levitate. With his left hand, Trois held the woman aloft. With his right arm he lifted his Dice Saber and ran it straight through the heart of the secretary. The gate saw none of this. All he saw was that his mistress was hovering in the air. Her shirt was torn open, and he saw that she was bleeding. Trois pushed the woman off of his sword, letting her slump onto the table, bleeding.

The gate ran. Trois knew that this would happen, so he casually followed his quarry to the elevators. As the gate impatiently waited at the elevator, Trois simply waited behind him. The gate freaked out, looking around for the source of the footsteps he heard. He quickly jumped into the elevator, with Trois stepping in behind him. ‘If he’s so scared that he’s running, why use the stairs?’ Trois thought to himself as the door closed. The gate pressed one. Trois then pressed every single button on the panel with his sword. This more than freaked out the gate, leaving him trying to get to the door. Trois grabbed the gate by the collar and hit the emergency stop button on the panel.

‘And now’ Trois thought to himself as he rid himself of the Dice Saber, tossing it through a Connect portal, ‘for the finish.’ Trois threw the gate face first into the doors. As the gate tried to pick himself up Trois dispelled Beast and immediately turned into his natural Phantom form. The Gate turned around to see the black and gold birdman standing behind him in the low light. That did it. Trois could see the purple crack form on his face, slowly spreading. Trois then grabbed him again and through him against a second wall, denting the inside wall. That did it. The cracks formed faster and faster, and Trois laughed. He started the elevator again and it opened less than a second later. Trois stepped out of the elevator and charged at the window. He jumped through, shattering the reinforced glass as he did, and took flight.
