A few months ago, I was just doodling when I came up with an idea for a rider. This is my own rider concept, Kamen Rider Palette



Reiko Takehara is a young art restorer for the local museum, a willful artist and a history buff with dreams of becoming an art teacher. However, her vast knowledge combined with her compulsion to experiment on various art styles makes it difficult for her to be taken seriously among art professionals. One day, while working at the museum restoring some donated artifacts, a pair of them shine in her hands, unveiling themselves as the Crafter's Buckle and the Crafter's Palette. When the two are joined, they form the Palette driver, transforming Reiko into the heroic Kamen rider Palette, a divine warrior chosen to act as the hand of the Crafter, a divine entity who granted humanity the initial gift of creation, while combating the Scratchers, demonic monsters who were born from humans' inner struggles and desire for destruction, both by-products of the Crafter's gift.



Personality

Reiko views the world through multi-colored tinted glasses. She's very spontaneous, especially when it comes to art and art history. However, her spontaneity and eccentric behavior tends to make her difficult to work with with project-goers and other artists at the museum. The only person that seems to value her admiration and dedication to art seems to be her employer.



The Palette Driver



The Palette driver is basically composed of three components:

-The Crafter's Buckle-a large buckle-like apparatus that once existed in masses and was held in the hands of the the world's most brilliant artists and thinkers. The buckle was the symbol of the Crafter's gift of creation and would amplify the wearer's sense of imagination and creativity. However, with the birth of destruction in man's heart, as well as the Scratchers, as a result of their enchanted sense of creation, the Crafter commanded his followers to gather the buckles and destroy them to prevent mankind's wanton path of self-destruction. Only one remained and was practically lost in time until it, along with the Crafter's Palette, came into Reiko's hands.



-The Crafter's Palette-One of the Crafter's artifacts. Like the buckle, there were once palettes in the masses that were in the possession of history's most imaginative and most brilliant creators of art. The palette serves to house the Kami Swatches and funneling their essence from the palette to the holder. However, without the buckle, only individuals with an exceptional sense of imagination and innate creativity will be able to tap into the Palette's power.



-The Kami Swatches-Paint Swatch-like clips that house the essence of Gods. In the beginning, they only represented colors of the soul, but with the powerful sense of imagery of gods, the essences evolved to possess powers that fuel the innate sense of creation in humankind. Each and every Kami Swatch is named after a classical god and a color, and when used by Palette, manifests as a piece of armor and armament on Palette's body. Any time a combination is made, the driver will announce as a Hue up, whereas specially specific combinations of Kami Swatches are dubbed simply as Colors, with Palette's default form known as the Pantheon Colors, which consist of:



-Apollo White (Head, Torso)- veils the wearer the godly powers of Apollo, giving the wearer the power to emit a light as hot and bright as the sun

-Artemis Green (Right Arm)- bestows the blessing of Artemis, with a fighting arm and the stag-shaped Bolt Stagger, a wrist-mounted crossbow-like apparatus that fire heavy-but-powerful paintball-like energy shots that can cause heavy damage or can mark opponents in paint

-Athena Blue (Left Arm)- grants the protection of Athena in the form of a plated arm with the Gorgonic Aegis, which can emit an energy shield with the facade of a terrifying gorgon's head that can repel some of the strongest blows

-Hermes Silver (right Leg)-instills into the wearer the nimbleness and agility of Hermes. the winged boot can lift the wearer to great heights

-Hephaestus Black (Left Leg)-hardens the wearer with the Iron will of Hephaestus, encasing the left leg in the Iron Forge Boot. The boot grants the wearer the protection of reinforcing their legs to deliver powerful kicks. On its own, the boot is normally heavy and slows down the user, but when placed in any Colors combination with the agility-boosting Hermes Silver, the wearer will be able to move normally.



Crafter's Tool



Palette's primary weapon. The Crafter's Tool is a divine relic that only belongs to the Crafter, having been granted by Palette to combat the Scratchers. The Tool has a multi-tool functionality, allowing it to change into three different forms. The default mode is brush mode, a long quarterstaff that Palette can use for stick fighting arts and can deliver a paint-like energy wave when a finisher is activated.



Finisher



When Palette initiates a finisher, the driver will declare a "Finishing Touch". By detaching the Crafter's Palette from the Crafter's Buckle, Palette can perform a finisher two ways:

-placing the digits of the hand onto the orbs emanating the Kami Swatches' power

-waving the Crafter's Tool's Power Receptor over the orbs
