Kamen Rider Kiva: Rite of Succession
In the past. The position of king changed hands only when a challenger appeared and succeeded it killing it's holder. However, With humans growing more and more aware of the demon races and the Aozora organizations advancements with the IXA units, A new way had to be established. After The German born Albert Kurokawa defeated the previous King he sought to do just that. Previous members of the checkmate four were ousted in exchange for Handpicked individuals. Positions within the Checkmate 4 became a family affair (the exception being the queen) with an heir chosen amongst the previous members children. In order to reduce the number of enemies his race would face the king formed a pact with the wolfen,franken and merman races. Each race would offer then a representative who would become the king's vassal and in exchange the king would call off all hunts on their respective races. Their alliance, Known as the Lunar Sovereignty quickly took hold of japan and spread throughout the rest of the world pulling fangires from all over into their fold.
Many accepted the newly established heirarchy's change in customs. However, There was also sizable portion of Fangires that opposed the new policies. A rebellion was brewing but would make little ground without an absolute power to lead it. Those seeking too overthrow Kurokawa are seeking out former members of the checkmate four along with other fangires of notable power to join them in their quest to re-establish the old ways. They found possible salvation in the form of the former rook, Raido Tachibana, A monstrous fangire with an insatiable apatite for destruction, and Inami Gojiro, a researcher decoding ancients text which may indicate the location of a weapon powerful enough to defeat Kurokawa.
With the question of succession weighing heavy in his mind, Kurokawa realized he'd need to chose an heir to his throne amongst his 3 children. With rumors of the Supposed super weapon in mind he charged each of them with finding it and should it exists bringing it back to him. The one who'd succeeded in doing so would gain the title of king and all the power he possessed. In order to protect his children he divided his kivat and the power they both wielded into 3 through the use of an anciet rite which required a living sacrifices. Kivat bat The Great became kivat bat the 2nd, kivat bat the 3rd, and kivat bat the 4th. Each of his children was partnered with one of the kivats and sent out in search of the former royalty.
Rules
-No godmoding
-You're allowed to make up to 3 main characters total, and as many side characters as you feel necessary
-Keep personal issues outside of the rp
-All Occ chatter should be done in this thread.
-Try to post regularly and warn us if you won't be able to post for a while
-pay attention to previous posts.
-feel free to ask any question regarding storyline, setting, characters, etc.
-if this takes off then it's likely to keep me pretty busy. I apologize ahead of time if things slow down a bit.
Side characters
-These are individuals who are connected to one or more of your main characters. Their significance in the main plot cannot extend beyond their effect on the main character their attached to. Unless of course events arise that deem it necessary to bump them up to main character status. Doing so will require my ok however.
-The kivats, vassals, and fangire subordinates of the king or rebel leaders are good examples of side characters.
-It's more than likely that the storyline will require side characters to be a bit squishier than our mains. I'll give as much heads up as possible if it looks like your character will have to bite the dust. Of course you have the right to kill off or remove your own side characters from the story at any time. Just make sure to give me the heads up beforehand so I can adjust as needed.
Due to the limited number of riders in kiva I've split kiva into two. Emperor form and the default form are now separate entities
Default kiva is associated with kivat bat the 4th and can assume the garulu, bashaa, dogga, and DoGaBaKi form. What he lacks in power he makes up for in veriety.
Kiva emperor form is associated with kivat bat the 3rd He can't access the garulu,dogga and bashaa forms like in the series but has the zanvatt sword by default and can still assume flight style form.
It should be a given but I'll say it here anyhow. Kiva emperor form and dark kiva are reserved for those who play the remaining kurokawa siblings. Profiles stating anything along the lines of stealing the kivats or killing the kurokawas and taking their powers will be rejected. The remaining riders related to kiva are completely free. Since this Rp is focused on the demon races IXA won't be involved as a player character. If it does show up it will be as an npc (in which case your character should prolly be RUN!! :O_O
Also. Unlike the series, None of the 13 demon races have been exterminated. So feel free to create characters based on any of them. Also. If the research I've done is correct there are 5 races that are never named. I'll allow characters from made up races but will expect a hefty amount of information regarding said race, their origins and their relationship with the other races on top of your character profile. If your interested in doing this PM me with the information before posting it in thread.
Player created riders will also be accepted
Additional info about the world of rite of succession, hidden due to length
[hide]Lunar Soverignty: An alliance between the fangire, kivat, wyvren, merman, franken and wolfen races to insure they're mutual survival. Societies established within the Lunar Sovereignty function under a caste system. Royalty such as the checkmate four and nobles such as their vassals reigned at the top of the social hierarchy, Fallowed by soldiers/ hunting parties of the sovereignty and then those who maintained the day to day functions of their society. While it ensures the safety of every individual and prolongs their respective race as a whole many find the social structure too oppressive. How much can vary depending the ruling class of each area. King Albert's compound is somewhat lax in comparison to others in spite of his wife's more traditional views, due in no small part to his spirited and human loving son Gram and The politically minded moderate Aika.
Albert Kurokawa: Ruler of the lunar sovereignty. Albert's mother, Mitsuko Kurakowa, was taken in by a German sect of fangires lead by the high born Yohan Krauser. Yohan fell in love with Mitsuko and soon the two sired a son whom Yohan named Albert. While raised to be strong by his parents Albert was also taught the merits of peace and stability. As he grew older he sought to instill this knowledge into his contemporaries. This was met with varying degrees of success and failure. Those he grew weary from the endless battles accepted his views whole heartedly. Those who opposed often sought to take his life. The experience only hardened Albert's resolve to establish a true society for the fangire race.
Albert made many allies in his quest. The most important of which was likely Agiel-Kivat. The kivat admired Albert's strength and ambition and pledged itself completely to helping Albert achieve his goal. With his help Albert eventually succeeded in defeating the king and revolutionizing the fangire social structure.
Saiyuri Kurokawa: Albert's wife, Queen of the checkmate four, and mother to the kurokawa children. While more in line with traditional views of fangire society Saiyuri chose to fight alongside Albert in his march towards revolution. It was his strength that she believed in, rather than his ideals. She obeys him and him alone and has little concern for those without ambition. It is for this reason that she favors Gram the least of her 3 children. She is fond of Aika's devotion to the fangire race and, perhaps naively see's her views on the use of humans being a form of subjugation of the race as a whole.
Kivat bat the great: The form Agiel-kivat took after consuming the previous king's kivat. It's power is matched only by its wickedness. If it sensed even a moment of weakness in it's partners heart it would consume him without a second thought. Like the king, Kivat has his own vessel, Tatsulot, keeper of the zanvatt sword. Thus, Granting Kivat and it's user access to one of the strongest weapons known to the demon races. Through an ancient rite involving three living sacrifices Kivat was split into 3 separate kivats each carrying a portion of it's power and some small traces of it's personality.
Kivat Bat the Second : Inherited it's predecessor's control over the element of darkness(aka generating the and using the kiva symbol as a weapon) , a portion of it's predecessor's sealing abilities (applies to use of and the number of fustles carried) and traces of it's wickedness
Kivat Bat the Third: Inherited it's predecessor's Boisterous spirit and the ability to tap into primal fangire nature(aka flight style),The tatsulot Vassal along with the Zanvatt sword, and the smallest portion of it sealing abilities
Kivat Bat the Fourth:Inherited the strongest portion of it's predecessor's sealing abilities along with the wolfen,merman and franken vassals.
Each kiva has access to a variation of of kiva's bike "machine kivaa" based on the color scheme of their armored form. Default kiva can access the buroon booster though the use of a fustle. emperor kiva can replicate the effects of the buroon booster in his bike by assuming flights style then fusing with it. Dark kiva can do this by generating the kiva symbol and fusing it with the bike.
Castle doran and shoodoran remain with the king.
Zagarcs: Were aligned with the previous king. Since his fall and the restructuring of the Fangire hierarchy they've become something of a neutral power. While likely to side with anyone choosing to act against the lunar sovereignty they aren't by default aligned with the rebellion.
Legendora: The only faction strong enough to hold its own against the fangire before the establishment of the Lunar Sovereignty. It's king, with the help of it's kivat "Arc Kivat" was capable of fighting the previous fangire king to a draw but lacked the means to fully defeat him. The Legendora have entered an uneasy peace with the lunar sovereignty since it's birth. Because of their wars with the previous fangire hierarchy it seems that joining Kurokawa is the only option, however many of among the legendora fear joining at the cost of their freedom.[/hide]
