Name: Akira Hoshizawa/Kamen Rider Stage
Origin: Original
Stereotype: Amnesiac Warrior of Justice

World: Kamen Rider
Arc: Akira's birth as a Kamen Rider (original arc)

Personality:
Akira is generally distrustful and distant, finding it hard to place faith in other people due to the effects of his amnesia. His most overpowering feeling at the moment is guilt, being saved by other Kamen Riders from the control of World Shocker and told to escape while the heroes held their ground against an insurmountable foe.

Despite his self-inflicted worries, Akira could still manage to pull himself together in order to protect others from harm. He sees this as a way to redeem himself a bit at a time, and to remind himself of the need to find the means that will set things right back at his world.

Appearance:
Hair/Eyes: Short and black, uncombed/Brown
Body: Athletic
Clothing: Shirts of plain color, jeans, rubber shoes, and a dark blue jacket. Akira wears a belt with a large buckle with a round hollow center and some unusual mechanisms around it, seemingly both technological and magical in nature.
Extra: As Kamen Rider Stage, Akira assumes a completely armored form. His body is mainly white in color with blue highlights on the legs, arms, and shoulders. The helmet's eyes are round and of the same blue color as the highlights, vaguely resembling a samurai's helmet made into a motorcycle helmet. The belt buckle has a spherical crystal surrounded by mechanism that harnesses the sphere's energy.

Gimmick: Kamen Rider
Heroes made through powers of superhuman enhancements or unusually advanced technology, Kamen Riders are the living manifestation of heroes of justice. Their powers are often centered around their belt, which primarily grants these individuals with the power to transform into a Kamen Rider. Each Kamen Rider then have their own special gimmick that sets them apart from one another.

Powers:
Cyborg Body
Based from Kamen Riders of the Showa Era, Akira's body has been completely modified as the most effective super soldier. Akira can lift a small car with ease, withstand attacks from conventional weapons, and recover quickly from light injuries. Transforming into Stage enhances these capabilities by five fold.

Stage Spheres
A crystallization of a fragment of power from World Crystals, Stage Spheres grant Kamen Rider Stage with the ability to transform and fight in different ways.
-KR: Stage Sphere from the Kamen Rider world, blue in color with a Kamen Rider head emblem in the middle. This sphere grants Akira the basic ability to transform into Stage, as well as fighting abilities possessed by Kamen Riders. Stage can execute the finishing move Stage Climax Kick, Stage Ending Slash, and Stage Finale Shot in this form.

Techniques:
Akira is proficient with a combination of martial arts maneuvers, which he uses for hand-to-hand and weapon combat.

Signature Moves
High-powered attacks that Akira can use as Kamen Rider Stage. These are often used to finish off powerful opponents or clear out armies of minions. More powerful enemies can still avoid or defend against these attacks.
-Stage Climax Kick: Stage releases World Crystal energy to create a field that holds his target in place. He then leaps up into the air and charges energy to deliver a flying kick.
-Stage Ending Slash: Stage switches his KR essence sphere from his belt into the Shooting Sword while in sword mode. He charges up World Crystal energy into the blade and delivers a slash wave at his target. The slash wave rips open a temporary portal onto the target and pulls it apart.
-Stage Finale Shot: Stage switches his KR essence sphere from his belt into the Shooting Sword while in gun mode. He charges up World Crystal energy and fires it in a straight beam at his target. The beam causes the target to get pulled into its center by a temporary miniature wormhole.

Equipment:
Shooting Sword
A short sword that can change into a gun possessing a slightly longer barrel. There is a round, hollow cavity between the blade and the grip of the weapon that can accommodate a sphere. Basic finishing moves with this weapon includes the Stage Ending Slash and the Stage Finale Shot.

Stage Voyager
A motorcycle modified to the needs of a Stage Trooper. It is capable of acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and safe passage across worlds. It has thrusters for short aerial maneuvers and is capable of undersea travel. Essentially working as an all-terrain vehicle for the new super soldier army for World Shocker.



The vehicle is modeled after the Honda CBR1000RR SP2, with cosmetic changes to match Stage's features.

Advantages:
Resilient - Akira is physically tough, and can withstand damage that would normally be fatal to ordinary humans.
Jack of All Trades - Akira seems to be proficient in all sorts of skills and profession, as if these are part of his muscle memory.
Adaptable - like a blank slate, Akira can quickly pick up on the ways of worlds he enters.

Weaknesses:
Hesitant - Akira tends to think poorly of his abilities, causing him to waver at crucial moments.
Amnesia - save for his name and reason for living, Akira has no memory of who he was.
Nemesis - Akira is targeted by the World Shocker, and they will make taking his life their priority when their paths cross.
