[MaxPower]

Name: Mask
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Nationality: Unknown (allegedly Indonesian)
Occupation: Unknown (formerly a university student)
Hobbies: Fighting Riders and Cybeasts alike, traveling the CyberScape World on his Rider Machine while listening to heavy metal music
Appearance: tall and skinny, around 184 cm tall, with dark tan skin and short, spiky black hair. Usually wears a dark grey mask with red trims over the upper part of his face, hence his nickname, Mask. This is done to conceal his true identity from everyone else. He usually wears a blue or black T-shirt underneath a black leather jacket, blue torn-up jeans, and black sneakers or military boots. A small black mole can be seen on the upper right side of his lip.
Rider type: Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain, later becomes Hero once his true identity was discovered.

A mysterious competitor of the CyberScape battle royale, 19 year old Mask is a formidable opponent that all of the other Riders fear. He is the Char Clone of the story, with his CyberScape avatar being based off Neo Roanoke of Gundam SEED Destiny, playing under the username MaskPower. Mask is a silent and emotionless man who usually reserves his feelings to himself, focusing his thoughts on fighting in the battle royale. From his fighting prowess, he is an experienced fighter, already reaching Level 6 at the beginning of the story, his name alone spreads dread through the spines of the other Riders (whereas Minh starts off as Level 1, being promoted as she gains experience and new forms).

Mask also displays an unusual ability of being able to survive in the CyberScape world even without his avatar form, whereas humans will be dissolved into data after 10 minutes. He is a very loyal person, answering only to Deus and being very obedient to the AI, as if he is the AI's representative in the battle royale. Mask also boasts huge sense of honor - refusing to fight opponents below his level, nursing his opponents to health in order to fight them in their full strength, even refusing to finish off a downed opponent, as he rather take them out when they're at their strongest. He is also more than willing to take out Cybeasts who attacks humans, even though he told Minh repeatedly that he only does this to make sure that the Cybeasts "don't interfere with the battle royale."

In reality, Mask is actually Cokorda Krishna Sadhana, the very first Kamen Rider Exige and the one who saved Minh six months ago, a classmate of Minh's in Japanese and Bioethics classes with a crush on her. During the 6 month timeskip, Krishna somehow got himself defeated in battle and was rescued by Deus, undergoing reconstructive surgery to partially convert his almost destroyed human body into the Dragon Cybeast, thus explaining why he doesn't dissolve into data in the CyberScape world even without his avatar. His memory was also tampered with, with his memories of his friends and family sealed away to enable Deus to inject its loyalty program into his mind. Taking up the mantle of Kamen Rider Crossbones, the newly born Mask (his mask is actually a control device that keeps Krishna in check) fights as Deus' personal enforcer. Refusing to fight Minh at first, Mask continues to observe Exige's fights from a distance, before finally deciding to take the young woman on as he felt that she is ready to fight him. As Crossbones fights Exige, slowly but surely Krishna's dormant feelings for Minh began to resurface, interfering with Deus' programming and slowly bringing back Krishna's old memories...

Kamen Rider Crossbones

The most feared and dreaded competitor of the CyberScape battle royale, Kamen Rider Crossbones relies mostly on chivalrous close-range combat, with two forms at his disposal, his default Dark Striker Pack and his brute strength oriented Dark Wrecker Pack. Later on after he regains his memories, Krishna was given the Dark Berserker Pack, his final form that enhances his long-ranged combat skills as well as giving a deadlier edge to his already fearsome close-range skills.

Dark Striker Pack
Motif: Mecha/Pirate/Dragon/Knight/Close-range combat
Based on: AGE-2DH Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound, with silver horns based on Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form's. A silver skull and crossbones is engraved on the center of the chest armor, while green lines adorn the arms, legs, and abdomen in between the black armor, with some red trims in between the arms and legs region. A pair of green eyes are present on the helmet, with a red, transparent piece of fiberglass covering the left eye, which acts as a targeting sensor and giving off an illusion of a pirate as the fiberglass resembles a pirate's eye-patch.

Crossbones' default form. Like Exige Warrior Pack it is a Jack of All Stats with its balanced numbers, even though its stats are slightly stronger than Exige Warrior Pack's. It is armed with the RG Lancer, a gunmetal jousting lance with 3 modes of combat. In it's default Lance Mode it is used as a normal lance/sword, while bending it's handle will convert it into it's Gun Mode, with a pair of small vulcan cannons located near the tip of the weapon that fires off stinging energy projectiles designed to stun opponents. Finally with a press of a button on it's handle, the RG Lancer opens up like an umbrella into it's Shield Mode, which protects Crossbones from attacks. Like Exige Warrior Pack it emits a green hue in Trans-Am mode. It is also armed with the RG Hook, a fold-able hook on the left wrist that covers the left hand when deployed, used as an impromptu close-range weapon, but it is mostly used as a grappling hook or restraining opponents, shocking them with electricity. In this form, Crossbones' finishers are the Darkness Requiem Rider Kick, a bicycle kick powered by the green RG Particles that he has. He can also charge his right fist with RG Particles to execute the Darkness Impact, a powerful energized jab. And finally the Darkness Breaker, a finishing move with the RG Lancer, where Crossbones fires off several blasts of energy in Gun Mode towards the ground to blind the opponent with dust, before leaping into the air and stabbing the opponent through either the chest or abdomen with the energized Lance Mode.

Dark Wrecker Pack
Motif: Mecha/Executioner/Dragon/Knight/Brute force combat
Based on: AGE-2DH Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound, with silver horns based on Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form's, the heavily armored shoulders and elbows of the MSN-04 Sazabi, ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam's shoulder cannons and the forearms of the GAT-X370 Raider Gundam. A silver skull and crossbones is engraved on the center of the chest armor, while orange lines adorn the arms, legs, and abdomen in between the black armor, with some green trims in between the arms and legs region.

Crossbones' brute strength oriented form, it is much more stronger than Exige's Marksman Pack, rivaling even Exige Liberator Pack in terms of raw power. Sadly it is not as fast as the aforementioned two forms, going even slower as Exige Marksman Pack, but it's power and high defense stats easily covers up its weaknesses. This is one of the two default forms that Deus gave to Mask, but since it drains too much of his energy, Mask opts to use this form as a last resort against really tough opponents. It is armed with the RG Mjolnir, a mace weapon that is attached to a handheld holder on Crossbones' right hand via a cable. The RG Mjolnir's spiked mace can smash through any armor with ease, even damaging Exige Marksman Pack's reinforced armor. The RG Hook on its left wrist is heavily modified - no longer the large hook on Dark Striker Pack, it is now a pair of cables with small grappling hooks on each end, losing the fold-able gimmick in the process but with the additional ease of giving paralyzing electric shocks to opponents. For long range weaponry, it has the RG Mazda energy cannons on each shoulder. In this form Crossbones has two finishers, the Tyrannical Darkness where Crossbones charges orange RG Particles into the RG Mjolnir before launching it towards the opponent, obliterating the opponent in one hit. A variation saw Crossbones using the RG Hook to reel the opponent closer, before hitting the opponent at the back of the head with the energized RG Mjolnir. The other is the 120mm Darkness Stanza where Crossbones fires two beams of combined RG Particles and dark matter energy from the RG Mazdas. It's Trans-Am state colors is orange.

Dark Berserker Pack
Motif: Mecha/SWAT Commando/Dragon/Knight/Demon/Perfect combat
Based on: GAT-X105E+AQM/E-X09S Strike Noir Gundam, with golden horns based on Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form's. A silver skull and crossbones is engraved on the center of the chest armor, while red lines adorn the arms, legs, and abdomen in between the black armor, with some gold trims in between the arms and legs region.

Crossbones' final form, and the form that Krishna assumes in default after he regains his memories. Initially it was created by Fabian for Minh's use, but the Exige system is found to be incompatible with the newly created RG Disk. At that time Krishna is still away in his "contemplation trip," atoning for his sins towards Minh and her friends during his time as Mask, as well as distancing himself from Minh as he was being haunted by his rejected feelings towards her. Knowing that one day Krishna would return, Minh took it upon herself to modify the new RG Disk, so it can be used by Krishna. Sure enough, by the time Krishna returns, Minh as Exige is having a hard time against Kamen Rider Gigant, one of the more powerful competitors of the battle royale who is overly obsessed on Minh, just like Krishna before his "contemplation trip." This time Krishna returns with a new determination, fighting not only to protect his "beloved" Minh, but also to protect the planet from the threat of the CyberScape world. Touched by Krishna's new conviction, Minh gave Krishna the new RG Disk, thus giving Crossbones access to his ultimate form - Dark Berserker Pack. The Dark Berserker Pack maximizes all of Crossbones' stats and giving him power and speed that he never imagined before. The wing-shaped protrusions on Crossbones' back acted as extra thrusters to give Crossbones the speed boost that he needs the most, while thrusters has been installed inside Crossbones' elbows and knees to boost his punches and kicks. Another special feature is the Burst Mode function, that replaces the Trans-Am capability. Unlike Exige Nirvana Pack's Burst Mode that invokes an image of an angel, Crossbones Dark Berserker Pack's Burst Mode invokes an image of a demon - a crimson hue overtook Crossbones' pitch black armor as thick smoke bursts out from the armor gaps and joints as Crossbones' combat capabilities are increased by 300%, at the cost of turning Krishna into a literal berserker, living up to the name of his final form. While Burst Mode is active, Crossbones is powerful enough to take on the most powerful Riders and Cybeasts to the point of literally punching a hole through a Cybeast due to the sheer strength that Burst Mode gives. Despite being reduced into a berserk, Crossbones still has the ability to control himself, similar to Kamen Rider Deadheat Mach before him. Burst Mode also gives Crossbones the ability to do Trans-Quantum, where Crossbones broke himself down into RG Particles and reassembles himself quickly within seconds at another place, giving off the illusion of teleportation. Weapons wise, Crossbones is armed with a pair of futuristic looking Colt 45s, the RG Magnums, with a firing rate equivalent to that of a machine gun for each Magnum, mounted on the hips when not in use. For close-range combat, Crossbones has the RG Buster Swords that are mounted on the wings, which can be detached for use, with a blade made out of red RG Particles that assembles itself once the swords are detached. Finally, Crossbones has 4 finishers in this form - the first one is the 360 No-Scope, where Crossbones spun around on one foot while firing his RG Magnums rapidly, destroying enemies surrounding him in a barrage of rapid fire. A variation for one-on-one situation saw Crossbones performing a mid-air barrel roll as he fires his RG Magnums. The second one is the Photon Screw Crush, where Crossbones slashes the opponent rapidly with the RG Buster Swords, ending the slash barrage with a powerful spin slash. Third is the Burst Obliterator, a powerful Rider Punch performed as either a jab or an uppercut enhanced by the Burst Mode feature and the elbow thrusters. And finally, the Destruction Requiem, a more powerful version of Crossbones' signature Rider Kick, a bicycle kick powered by both the RG Particles in Crossbones' armor, the strength boost given by the Burst Mode feature, and the thrusters inside Crossbones' knees for the ultimate power-up.

Dragon Cybeast

Krishna/Mask's true form, the Dragon Cybeast is the first ever recorded case of a human-Cybeast hybrid, created by Deus in order to save Krishna's life. Themed after a knight in dark grey draconian armor, his armaments include the DragoCalibur, a dragon-themed broadsword, and the DragoShield, a purple shield for defensive purposes, complete with a demonic-looking eye that can emit a paralyzing wave of purple energy.
