[ CHARACTER INFORMATION ]
Name: JK
Age: 16~17 (not really mentioned outright, but he's a 2nd year in high school)
Gender: male
Canon: Kamen Rider Fourze
Timeline: at the end of the series, including Movie War Mega Max, Super Hero Taisen and Space, Here we come!.
Background: http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Kaizo_Jingu
Personality: JK is the school's best informant, and as such is probably one of the students that knows the most about everyone else. In exchange for his information, he of course wants something in return of equal value. Back when he first got to know Gentarou, he wasn't exactly pleased when Gentarou offered his friendship in return, but he ended up accepting it because hey, he could use that friendship. Though the only one who really cared about that friendship was Gentarou, as JK just used people and manipulated them according to his own needs. Everyone is just there for him to use in sometimes elaborate schemes that most of the time results in someone hating him, as seen in the case with Nitta, who attempted to kill him.
When Gentarou saved his life when Nitta tried to kill him, he ever so slowly started to believe in friendship for real. It was because of his dad, and his classmates mocking him and his one childhood friend that he started to doubt in people, and over time, it only got worse, leaving him with complete lack of trust in others, but thanks to Gentarou, that started changing.
Before joining the Kamen Rider Club, he was deep down very lonely, but there was no one who knew about that since he didn't put trust in anyone. Those that he had as 'friends' just to use turned their back on him when Nitta gave him a chance to live, and Nitta knew full well that it would happen. Even though there are less fake friendships now, he still keep in contact with everyone, because through all those fake friends, he has a huge information network that makes him quite the useful member of the Kamen Rider Club.
JK is easy to scare, and rather runs than fight. At first, he would use others as a shield, which made him quite detestable, but after he was saved by Gentarou, he started to change. While he would rather run than fight, and leave the fighting to others, he doesn't purposefully use people as living shields anymore. At times he seems to be too scared to even run away properly, ending up with him getting taken hostage by a Zodiarts, as seen during the time with the Lynx Zodiarts in episode 13. Though during one of the fights, when a Zodiarts followed him, he defended himself by using breakdance moves, all the while crying out for it not to come closer. Still really scared, but capable enough not to just run the other way. He really doesn't want to be directly involved in a fight though. He can stand on the sidelines cheering others on, but once he gets close, he gets scared. When he is forced by Kengo to drive the Power Dizer, he keeps on crying and repeating that he doesn't want to and “why him?” Though his manoeuvring is clumsy, he is of some help to Gentarou. He becomes a small bit braver yet, when the Kamen Rider Club is forced to battle in space, and he learns more about defending himself (shooting a gun, self defensive fighting)
After using the Power Dizer, JK started working out. He wanted to be able to help, he didn’t want to be useless anymore, and he was ashamed of himself for being unable to protect any of his fellow club members. But he didn’t want anyone to know that he was working out. He is the kind of guy who seems laid back and careless, he doesn’t want anyone to know that he puts an effort into anything, which he actually does. He’s gone through huge mental stress in his life, and it’s taken a lot for him not to crack under the pressure. He used to fake every feeling; he didn’t feel happy in his life, but he had no one to talk or open up to.
Once he joined the Kamen Rider Club after having been forgiven so easily by Gentarou even after using him, JK started to put more trust in people, and his feelings became more genuine. Now he doesn't just believe in Gentarou, who saved him even though he was the least likely to be willing to help him, but also in the other members of the Kamen Rider Club, even after so harshly claiming that people who trust others are morons and that those who talk about friendship piss him off. But as a member of the club, he has come to learn what real trust is, and that friends aren't just something for you to use for your own means.
JK loves to have fun, and always enjoys a good party. From time to time he arranges a party, called JK Night, that a lot of people usually comes to. During the Queen Fest, he really seemed to enjoy himself, and it almost seemed as if he wanted to be up on the stage himself, what with his moves down on the floor among the audience, while he watched Miu and her fellow cheerleaders dance. But then, besides being an informant, JK also dances, as well as plays instruments, so he has a mind for the creative. He is quite the goofball, with his funny facial expressions that can both creep you out and make you laugh your ass off, is outgoing and he is quite laid back, even though he likes to have control of the situation. That, he does through manipulation and his wide information network, though it has gotten harder to be in control without playing dirty and with the Zodiarts running around. Even so, he still manipulates people, as he has done for so long, even if his methods are getting less underhanded. He has a difficult time dealing with situations where he doesn’t know how to react, and when he is, he usually turns to words and pulling even the slightest information out of the other person. He will laugh and joke while he calculates whether the person is posing a threat to his safety or not, and if he finds the other is, he will end off the conversation as fast as he can, but in a way so that no one suspects anything, even if he is scared. Then, he will make sure the person doesn’t find him.
He is very colourful and isn't scared of looking different, seen by his alternations of his school uniform and everyday attire with brightly coloured clothes and the exaggerated style and mannerism of a chara otoko (a guy who is ‘flashy’/’gaudy’, and are or looks like/acts like the type who parties and fool around with girls (and boys in JK’s case) a lot. Comes from the word ‘charai’, which means ‘easy’ or ‘cheap’, and not in a good way. Otoko = man), combined with the load of accessories that seem to be increasing the further into the series you come.
JK knows the hardships of having your dreams come crashing down on you better than many. With his dad having been a musician, he grew into loving music, and dreamt of being a rock star. But that dream was smashed in middle school, where he formed a duo with his friend Jirou, but they were mercilessly laughed at, and mocked by their classmates. That, combined with his dad giving his own dreams up, brought JK into believing that dreams were useless, and people were not to be trusted. Somewhere along the time in middle school, Jirou and JK slipped apart, leaving JK completely alone.
But while he tried really hard, he just couldn’t give up completely on his dreams, and he set up a radio show just for himself, not expecting any listeners, where he sang and talked, not caring that his singing voice was horrible. But the show became popular; not because of the singing, but because of the talk and the other music that he played, and he couldn’t quit, even if he wanted to.
When he was reunited with Jirou, who turned out to be a Horoscopes that could make his singing voice amazingly good, his feelings became conflicted. At first he didn’t think it would do any harm, but soon he found out that it did harm to those that listened to Jirou’s guitar and JK’s Horoscopes-powered voice. It hurt, knowing that he could finally find a way to reach the fame and stardom he always wanted, but that it cost so much. It tore at him, and he didn’t know what he was going to do.
In the end, he chose fame over friendship, declaring to Gentarou that he was leaving the Kamen Rider Club. But he felt bad. He felt terrible, even though he tried to push it away, claiming that you lose contact with your high school friends by the time you all graduate anyway. But even then, he had nightmares, of where he was standing on his friends’ backs, terrifying him. But he doesn’t want to end up like his dad, he didn’t want to be a failure who had achieved nothing in his life, so he went to stand on the stage despite knowing how badly it would harm his friends, not just emotionally, but physically as well.
He’s put in front of even more split feelings as Gentarou comes up on the stage, urging him to stop. It took his sempai playing one of the songs he had grown up hearing his dad play, to bring his feelings into such turmoil that he cracks, and finally he sings, without the help of the Horoscope’s power, and the audience laughs, but he doesn’t care. He sang his heart out on that stage; a last tribute to Gene, the one he wanted to be. One that was sure of himself, had everyone spellbound by his voice, audience screaming and applauding and wanting more. Gene, the man of his dreams, the one who charmed everyone with his personality, the one he wanted nothing more than to be.
While he sang, he decided to abandon his dreams, this time forever. He shut down the radio show, promising himself never to sing again. His dreams were crushed, but he was forgiven by his friends, those that he had betrayed. That was the first time he begged someone’s forgiveness so desperately. And when they did, he was so relieved. He had been terrified of being left alone again, though he would never in his life admit that.
Though he thinks himself weak and useless, the Kamen Rider Club-members thought otherwise. He’s strong, who has managed to get through mockery, betrayal and broken dreams. And more than anything, he has grown, he has grown strong enough to protect his friends, not through fighting, but through putting others before himself. Without the Club, he would never have become what he is, and they have made him strong, as Kengo claims at the end of the series.
That builds a further trust in Gentarou, and there is no one in the world that he trusts as much, or finds as important to him as Gentarou. After all the things that Gentarou has done for him, and the way he has accepted even the most crooked parts of him, JK comes to care about Gentarou deeply. So much, that it is possible that he has fallen for Gentarou (though nothing is confirmed). He loves to be close to him, he loves to touch and hug him, taking every opportunity he gets to glomp and touch him. Because behind JK’s carefree and party-loving personality, there was just a scared little boy who wanted to be accepted, and for the first time, he had found someone who truly did, down to the very last bit of him, even what was wicked and dark. And that made Gentarou more than just an important friend.
Why is your character a good fit for the setting of Soul Campaign, and what will they do once they are in the game? JK feels the need to know just about everything, so once he’s there and used to the place, he will gather as much information as possible about Death City. It can get him into sticky situations at times, but he's great at information gathering (the best in all of Fourze).
He's sort of two-faced at times (he's getting better), and if he's in a bad pinch, he might spill information to the villians (so he might help in causing some trouble).
He will be on the hero's side, but he's not much of the fighting type (though he was in the Power Dizer once, and in another in Space, Here we come!), so he's mostly going to be helpful in terms of information. He's also quite good to hold as a hostage. He's been one more than once.
List the abilities your character will still have in Soul Campaign:
JK has no special powers, so this is n/a?
List the weaknesses your character will gain (or lose) in Soul Campaign:
JK doesn’t trust people easily. By the way he acts, people might think he trusts them, but he only trusts a few, and none of them are currently at SC, which is going to feel tough for him (and risk him closing up more again, the way he was earlier in the series)
When he comes to Soul Campaign, he starts dreaming about Gene, his rock star alter ego, and that makes him feel guilty, because of the reason why he gave his dreams up.
[ WEAPON ]
Soul Description: Manipulative, easily scared, strong (psychologically), (secretly) hardworking, fun-loving, suspicious (against others)
JK’s soul is a bright shade of pink, and it’s got glitter beneath its eyes, as well as a colourful hairclip on the outsticking part of the soul. Sort of like this.
(Weapon Form) / Ability:
Sneakers - JK’s weapon form is a pair of bewinged sneakers; the left one rainbow coloured, the right a glittery black (sort of symbolizing his dreams and secret personality Gene). They are connected by a seethrough wire, that isn't the easiest thing to spot in plain sight. The wire is sharp, and strong, and can be quite dangerous if the Meister knows how to handle it. It, in a way, is much like the protective shield JK has put up around himself. It's harmful, but you can't see it right away.
The sneakers enhance the meister’s strength in the legs; it makes them run faster, and their kicks faster and stronger. The wings bring even more speed, and while it doesn’t make you fly, it makes you able to jump higher than you normally can.
When he gets scared (especially at first), his feet grow small wings, showing that he can move faster to run away. Later he will learn how to contol this, unless he gets really scared of something.

First-Person
So hey, anyone up for a party? This place needs more parties, that’s for sure, and I’m not talking about those fancy parties, either. You know, with karaoke and games. [ He leaves out the part about getting drunk out on purpose. That’s for those who’s into it to know about, not everyone. ] Is there even a karaoke bar in this place? I’ve seen the movies and all, and you seem at least sort of up to date with technology, so what about karaoke? It won’t be much of a karaoke party if you don’t have anything like that!
Third-Person
He had been preparing for one of his parties, talking to the people working at the karaoke bar that particular night. Just when he was about to go and change out of his modified school uniform and into some clothes better suited for partying, there is a strange feeling, one that he’s not familiar with, and the next moment, he opens his eyes to darkness.
He’s lying on his back, and when he sits up, he spots two statues, and straining his eyes as he, in half panic, feels his pockets, he can make out the shapes of rocks. Pulling out his cell phone out of his pocket, he flips it open. The Panic is more than just half when he sees that there is no signal, and when he hurriedly dials Gentarou’s number, he has to strain himself not to let his body shiver. He’s been held hostage before, but this is a new one.
Still with the phone against his ear, hearing the tone of a disconnected call, three screens makes him jump, shielding his eyes from the sudden brightness. A man on the screens tells him to calm down, but JK stares at him in fright. “You kidnap me and expect me to calm down?!” Climbing to his feet, he takes a step backwards. The man is not there in person, but the whole situation is so crazy, so bizarre - that JK doesn’t know how to really think straight. He listens to the man talking while he dials Shun’s number, and after that Miu's and Tomoko’s and Kengo’s, but nothing seems to work, and it makes him even more scared. He doesn’t like it when he can’t reach people through his phone, it makes him feel even weaker than he knows he is, and being in a place he’s never seen before makes it all the more unsettling. Though... Nevada? That sounds vaguely familiar. Wasn’t that in the US?
“A war? Meister? Weapon?” This is sounding way too much like a manga. Or a horror movie. He’s used to heroes like Riders, but this is a completely different thing altogether! “I don’t want to! No way! Why me!” Much like the time Kengo forced him into the Power Dizer, he is wailing and protesting, and he just wants to go home. He knows he's weak, even if Kengo claimed he was stronger than he thought. This didn’t make any sense at all! They would have been much better off bringing any of the other Rider Club-members, so why would they want him? His grip on his cell phone is tight, as he bites his bottom lip. This was way out of his league.
Notes: His real name is Jinguu Kaizou.
