Taking a few liberties, but hopefully it's alright
Name: Kyo Jyuoku
Age: 23
Weight: 18 stone (due to enhancements)
Height: 5ft 9 (6ft 3 in Rider form)
Appearance: Kyo's normal appearance is a young man with short cut black hair swept back and often concealed by his wearing of a bright yellow beanie style hat . He's got a fairly athletic build, reflecting his interests and frequent exercise before his modifications and as a result he looks far weaker than he actually is. His normal clothing is a thick jacket with white stripes down the sleeves and a pair of slightly oil stained jeans with black and yellow streaked boots. The only thing of note is that he nearly always carries a small charm tied to a cord on his wrist, a small silver bell, given to him by a dear friend. He also, strangely, has a streak of green across the brown irises of his eyes, as a result of his modifications.
Personality: Kyo has suffered a great deal in his life, and he has in the past given up on trying to save people but after his recent experiences he has suffered a renewed urge to fight for the normal people of the various Rider worlds. His training in martial arts has made him disciplined enough to restrain himself against normal opponents and his work at university has given him the flexible thinking required to beat most opponents using his limited skill-set of powers. He tends to act slightly aloof and has a tendency to cynically deride whatever events are occuring around him on the basis he's lived through far worse situations. He has respect for anyone willing to percivere or try to solve their own problems, and he's been quoted as saying this is his favourite type of person. He also thinks that this rider form should be a last resort and won't transform if he thinks he can win in his human state. He's also annoyed by persistant rumours that he's an alien bounty hunter. While he has confessed that he's naive and that his way might get him killed, he refuses to backdown. He has a weakspot for children and his drive to save Yoichi is what keeps him travelling through the worlds.

Rider Name: Kamen Rider Giga
Rider World: Undiscovered Showa era world.
Appearance:
Kamen Rider Giga is comparitively slim compared to the heavier armoured suits worn by most of the Heisei Riders and is predominantly green in colour due to the Gigarans own natural skin colour being dark green. He has prominent red eye pieces and a wraparound piece of red for his scarf, a personal touch but one he feels neccessary to remember where he comes from. The belt itself is quite small and dark red in colour, normally hidden within his body, it materialises out of nano-machines and is the main control centre for his powers. The animal motif is a cricket rather than a grass-hopper
((This is the best example I could find online, original artist fyonne))
Equipment:
Gigaran Body Modifications- Kyo's body is riddled with alien technology which allows his transformation into Kamen Rider Giga as well as giving him a large increase to his abilities in his human form. The most obvious effect of this is the increase to his base stats listed below but it also gives him enhanced vision and hearing as well. The modifications are predominantly his skeleton and muscle mass, but all his organs as well have minor changes to allow the transformation and his 'blood' is now mainly formed out of nanomachines to regulate the complex machinery.
Gigaran Communicator- Designed so that Kyo can ask his alien benefactors how to modify or improve his body using his Omni tool. It's designed to function across dimensions and looks like a heavily modified flip-cell phone. It can be used to call any phone-number across any dimension provided Kyo enters the dimension code before the number.
Omni tool- a device given to Kyo by the Gigarans before he was catapulted through dimensions, he uses this to repair himself when his cybernetic parts break-down. It causes extreme regeneration of his body but he needs a lot of time to use it so it's only effective post-battle. It resembles a small steel wand with a blue light at the tip.
CycloneStarter- Giga's motorcycle, a modified version of his old Honda motorbike, it now matches his colour scheme of green and red and has been adapted to run on the same energy as his belt as well as increasing the top speed to ridiculously high levels. The top speed is around 280 mph and the bike has been adapted to be self-repairing in the inevitable event Kyo crashes it.
[Human form]
"Modified Human, Kyo Jyuoku, reporting for duty!"
Appearance: As Kyo is a modified human, his standard form is actually his human state. He has access to no techniques but he still has increased abilities and is notable for being discreet as well (minus the obvious weight increase). He does carry a few minor weapons.
Base Line Ability:
(effectively, compared to what he would have were he human)
Strength: 120%
Agility: 140%
Endurance: 110%
Weapons:
Gigaran Shield Generator- A device used by Kyo to generate a small green bubble like shield to protect himself from attack. It resembles a biro and is activated by clicking it. It functions once per day and can be used to deflect minor energy attacks and to stun someone attempting to attack him. Generally used to give him a chance to transform into his Kamen Rider form.
Gigaran Blaster- A small handgun that fires small blasts of light green energy. It doesn't do much damage to Kaijin but at point-blank can be quite effective. To unarmoured targets or Riders with an endurance of 100% or lower it can also cause a stunning effect, but this is reduced at higher endurance levels. It's his usage of this that gets him a reputation as an alien bounty-hunter.
Transformation:
"Giiiiga... HENSHIN!"
[Kamen Rider Giga]
Appearance: As shown above, this is Kyo's Kamen Rider form. The transformation itself requires a series of movements that he is unlikely to use in normal life at the same time but also means he can't transform at will he has to move his body. It can be done with just the movement of his shoulders however or by sending the signals from his brain to perform the movements even if he can't physically perform them. The pose involves swinging his arms up and diagonally down to the right, before bringing them to his waist and extending his left arm before sweeping it around to the left and clenching his fist. He tends to start this by saying "Giiiiga... Henshin!"
Power up's:
The transformation process allows more energy to flow through Kyo's cybernetic implants making him stronger and able to use his techniques in battle. As he only has one transformation, this is also notably more powerful than most standard power-ups but over long periods of battle his power drains and his stats decrease.
Strength: 165%
Agility: 175%
Endurance:155%
Technique's:
Rider Punch- By focusing the energy into his fists, Giga is able to perform a powerful move known as the Rider Punch. The effect is a burst of green light as he strikes at the opponent and increases his strength output by around 40% temporarily for the one move. It requires around 5 seconds to re-direct the flow of power and his agility takes a 40% dip while it rebuilds for the next minute but as he normally uses it as a finisher, this is rarely a problem. It can be used with a weapon as well but he modifies the name (i.e. if he borrows a sword then he's performing a 'Rider Slash' and so forth)
Rider Jump- By re-directing all the energy he has to his legs, Giga is able to use a move called Rider Jump. This technique allows him to leap up to 140 feet into the air and a weaker version is often incorporated into his Rider Kick. The move requires 3 seconds with his legs bent for the cybernetics to get into gear. The effect releases a large amount of energy directly downwards so the effect can be used to damage larger opponents by leaping off of them, the force put out through his legs is around 190% but it requires a cool down of a minute between bursts and it isn't designed for combat. While it hasn't been tested recently, when he first discovered it Giga crushed a tank with his leap. He normally uses it to get to areas rapidly as he can sustain the fall back down quite well.
Rider Counter- A passive ability, due to his extensive combat experience, Giga is able to counter and avoid most basic strikes provided some conditions are met. Firstly, he has to have an agility score equal or higher than his opponent to even begin to dodge the attacks, secondly he needs to have enough strength to block the strike or else his counter-attack will be put off by his opponent. This affects him in battle as if his opponent is naturally stronger he cannot counter them easily as their blow will still force him to move. Even if they aren't, damage will reduce his strength and make him unable to counter in the same way. The basic effect is that he's able to deal with hand-to-hand combat better than most Riders.
Rider Kick- Giga's finisher, and also the culmination of all three of his previous techniques. Energy flows into his legs and his belt will often begin reciting the increases to his power and how much energy he is exerting. The standard statement is that Giga increases his power output to 200% for the move before he utilises the movement as any higher runs the risk of damaging the systems keeping his body in one piece. To use it, Giga leaps into the air, does a forward flip and strikes downwards suddenly, his foot trailing energy as he does so and aims to hit the enemy. The impact causes an explosion of green energy for the opponent which normally causes the Kaijin to explode. He hasn't used it against another Rider before so he has no idea what will happen, but he isn't opposed to doing it if it'll save innocent lives. This move can only be performed once before Giga has to revert to avoid damaging his systems.
Background:
Kyo Jyuoku was born into a world of oppression, The forces of this world's Shocker had been aided by Dai-shocker and so the world had fallen into darkness. This world's hero, Kamen Rider Omega, otherwise known as Kazuma Jyuoku, had been lost in battle. Kyo's father always told him that he'd been killed, dying heroically to try and save the world from Shocker's evil. Kyo took these stories to heart and throughout his life, always tried to stand in the way of Shocker as best a simple human could. He studied hard so he could understand his enemy, gained a degree in Archaeology so that he could excavate previous sites where the heroes of humanity had fought Shocker and, most importantly of all, faked his shots with Shocker's Nano-machines to avoid being given orders through them.
It was almost 3 years ago that Shocker first found signs of alien life. On the planet Gigara they met the Gigara-jin or Gigarans and began their first full-scale campaign. The Gigarans were masters of advanced technology and their cybernetic modifications allowed them all increased strength, but it was nothing compared to the Shocker cyborgs. The Gigarans bodies were too weak to support the full operation procedure. What they needed was a human who's body could support the operations and become stronger than any preceeding Cyborgs. This is where Kyo came in. Seeking to avenge his brother, he underwent the operation and became a modified human working for the Gigarans to aid them in their war effort. Ressurected, Kyo became Kamen Rider Giga, following in his brother's footsteps he became a hero for both humanity and the Gigarans.
While exploring his abilities, Kyo had his brother's old motorcycle converted into the CycloneStarter and after a series of intense battles, he was given the other Gigaran weapons to help him without transforming. Eventually, after countless battles, Kyo came face to face with the leader of Shocker. the remains of humanity behind him and watching as their new hero confronted the glorious leader. The Great Leader of his world was a withered old man, idly toying with a chess piece so obliterated by time it was impossible to tell what it was originally. As he approached, Kyo was suddenly attacked by a second figure. Dodging and moving out of the way, he transformed and was shocked to see the opponent perform the same movements. As he changed he saw the enemy change too, into Kamen Rider Omega.
The words of his father rang hollow in his ears, his brother wasn't dead. He was instead standing besides the hated creature who ruled his world with an iron fist. His brother approached the crowd while Kyo was still reeling and shouted to them
"Humanity! This is your chance, all you have left to oppose your freedom is one old man. Will any of you step up? Who will fight for your freedom?"
There was silence. The assembled crowds shuffled awkwardly as Kyo looked on in shock. Omega turned to his brother
"Do you see now? They looked to me once and now they turn to you. They don't want to change this, they don't want a hero, they just want a martyr! A statue to look up to! They don't want hope, they want deceit!" Kyo felt his chest rumble as a boot collided with his side and sent him tumbling down into the destroyed remains of Tokyo. He stumbled to his feet in time to avoid the crushing boots of his brother landing besides him.
He was going to have to fight him, like it or not.
Their battle raged for hours, fist meeting fist, kick deflecting kick, the fight was never-ending. Kyo had fought so hard, he'd beaten countless Shocker cyborgs with irreversible brain-washing and yet he knew. His brother wasn't brainwashed. These were his true thoughts, he didn't betray the humans, in his mind they have betrayed him. It was time for the final blow... Both warriors leapt to the air, the ground beneath cracking from the force as their powers surged.
"Riiiider..." the voices sounded almost the same, almost a stereo, "PUNCH!"
The blows collided in a shower of blue and green but when the dust cleared only one was standing. Kamen Rider Giga.
Kneeling by his brother, Kyo heard him speak for the first time
"Little brother... I'm sorry. Not for my actions. But that you will never... be treated with the respect and honour... you deserve" slowly, Kazuma Jyuoku closed his eyes for the last time. And Kyo felt some part of his heart break. He removed his helmet, exposing his identity for the first time, and began walking through the crowd. He heard the humans thank him. They said how he had saved their lives. But he felt nothing for them. He left with the Gigarans, left the humans to their own devices. Would they stop Shocker's leader? He wouldn't know. And frankly, he didn't care. They didn't deserve it.
He spent 6 months on his own with the Gigarans, helping them rebuild from Shocker's attacks but was surprised when an envoy from Earth arrived. It was a young woman, armed with an advanced rifle and carrying a small girl. The woman thrust the girl into his arms and immediately went to secure the perimeter as she put it. The girl was around 6, she was wearing a purple dress and in her hands was a small silver bell.
"Here!" She passed it to him and Kyo was suddenly confused, what was this?
"Because of Mr Kamen Rider, my parents were freed. They said I shouldn't but I bought this for you. Thank you for saving us"
"You... you came to Gigara just to thank me?"
"Of course, you saved everyone and you were so sad after fighting the bad-guy, I wanted you to feel better"
This sudden act of kindness bewildered Kyo, he could only stutter out
"What's your name?"
"Yoichi" she replied brightly, hugging Kyo around the neck, she got down and began to run off back towards their ship. While Kyo was letting this sink in, an old Gigaran called Let came to him and offered some advice
"Maybe your own people aren't so devoid of hope, Kyo. Maybe there are still people like you left" Let smiled as he watched Kyo weigh up his decision and finally, head over towards Yoichi and her escort.
To everyone's amazement a sudden ripple of grey energy appeared and strange creatures appeared. Clad in armour, they began to attack the Gigarans and the soldiers who had accompanied Yoichi. The woman from earlier managed to shoot one several times but the bullets bounced off. After all, they were essentially other Kamen Riders. One stray shot was flying for Kyo when Yoichi shoved him out of the way. The shot was a fang, sinking into her back the colour faded from her face but she looked almost happy.
"at least I saved Mr Kamen Rider" were her last words as her life was drained. Diving under the falling body, Kyo saved her from shattering and tried to wake her but to no avail. Trembling with rage, the dimension hopping Riders laughed but were surprised when he began a counter-attack. Without transforming, Kyo managed to disable two of them but the last was too strong. For the first time in half a year, Kyo transformed into Kamen Rider Giga and with his Rider Punch, he obliterated the enemy Rider sending him blasting back through the dimensional barrier. The enemy who had drained her life was subdued and the Gigarans successfully extracted it from him but she still wouldn't awaken even with her life restored.
Glancing at the woman protecting Yoichi's prone form he announced
"I'm going to save her. That girl is worth any sacrifice."
While the barrier still rippled, he dived through and was hurled across worlds and time, the alien technology in his body causing disruptions in the process. He finally arrived in a world, unsure what to do and exhausted, he raised himself to his feet and made a promise to find some means across these worlds to bring her back. He would save that girl.
