Time for a little bit of Kamen Rider Xtreme behind the scenes trivia! These are just a couple of interesting facts that I thought I would share with those who were interested.

-Back in planning, Xtreme was originally a sports based rider with the default forms of Runner (base), Blader (rollerblades) Kicker, and Diver with a belt that consisted of different keys relating to each sport that split apart and formed an 'X' shape when activated. This idea was scrapped when the concept of the elemental riders was put in place and the sports theme just didn't fit anymore.

-The Gaia Memories were originally going to be entirely new devices named "Soul Keys" that unlocked a persons hidden strength and slowly corrupted them during the time they used it. This was scrapped when I couldn't come up with a could design for how the keys should look.

-The Dopants that Xtreme was originally meant to fight in episode 1-3 were not Spite and Gorge but a T-Rex named Tyranno (replaced by Spite) and a black beast named Feral (replaced by Gorge). The commanders were then meant to have their first appearance later on in episode 4.

-In the original version of the pilot episode, Sarah Gardner was not present and Alex's teacher Ms. Foster took her place as the pain in Alex's behind.

-Alex's meeting with Sampson and Marcoh (originally named Fouler and Taylor) occurred near the end of episode 2 under different circumstances and did not result in Alex receiving the X Driver.

-Alex originally found the X Driver in his father's study after being attacked by the Tyranno Dopant, Tyranno later being replaced by Spite and attacking Alex in the park late at night with Alex already being in possession of the X Driver.

-Shiore's name was originally going to be Yuki Takahashi. The Yuki part was then made her rider name and she was renamed Mizore (sleet) Fubuki (snowstorm)... Then I started to lean more to the first name Shiori (bookmark, or guide) when the name Mizore just didn't fit. Then I just decided to merge them both together and thus, Shiore Fubuki was born.

-Due to Shiore having multiple names throughout the project I can still find files of her being referred to by said names. I have managed to work this into her character, but I'm not giving it away here.

-Madison's evolution into a minor to recurring character was a complete accident. In her first appearance in episode 4, I just picked a name at random and ran with it. Her existence in the story was not intended to go farther then that, but I kept her around because I thought a nice down to earth character would be helpful.

Hope you've enjoyed this little look into the production of the series. Will have some more fun trivia as the story progresses.
