Okay..............i admit.Now i realize that is one of the vital part that is missing. But thinking about it,i never actually could think about it since,i was still trying figure out the setting of the story is in. I was thinking of altering the current new setting a bit,but just needed to figure out what to tweak to get that feel right. As for the rival counterpart,that may have to wait. Hmm...i looked at 42 episodes of Kamen Rider Black,it is quite episodic of the week.But the setting is quite strong,thus the series could always progress the plot when needed to. That's what W is doing that currently. Every show has its own pacing.I've yet to figure out what kind of pacing should Cosmos be like. Lets say i put aside worrying about the rider features/gadgets introduction.

I got part of the problem fixed now,as they say,a powerful hero needs a powerful villain to defeat,but the real main problem is....... I actually have no idea what i actually want Cosmos to be.No clear fixed ideal of this i can think of. I started Cosmos as a joke originally about the Zero Gravity Rider Kick and a what if there is a rider in Dead Space. Well,saying goes in Japanese anime industry "don't make a joke without thinking about the consequences" .They were sorta right.

Hey, how's the drawing of Astro coming along? Oh yeah, did you make his feet gravity boots?Just checking.

I just got that inspiration feeling again! I did what you said,and i remembered a not so long time ago series of games. Ryuusei No Rockman/Mega Star Force While that series was not as good compared to other Megaman games,i remember there were lots of themes and things space related to that. Here's what i got. The constellations themes,could be used for the villains.Aside from the shaky concepted main villain,i never was able to create a so called villain organization.Just can't seem to without any prior concept around it. Of course, i'm still not completely sure if taking from there is going to work.But at least,i have another source now.

I actually recently was thinking of looking at set in space shows and stories. I watched a show called Heroic Age a few weeks ago,was entertaining,and also gave me a bit more inspiration for Cosmos's Space powers. Firing wormholes and portals seems to work well for the rider of space. Lol,Black Lagoon and Burst Angel.I watched them, they were quite entertaining.

The thing is,sometimes i cannot find out what has that "feel right" sort of thing. I think people call this a lack of inspiration. Though i know what that feeling feels like. Just yesterday,i bought Mass Effect 2 Collector's edition.I saw the Collector's Armor.It is at least 85% very close to the vision i had of Cosmos's suit. As for the characters and cast, it really depends on the setting.Where the events take place. The only characters i have confirmed is the main character Ikari Yamato,which is Cosmos and Astro(no name yet,just like Tales's ANT's secondary rider,Termite).But for Astro, i was intending for him to be a westerner,he's like an opposite to the main rider. But the main problem is really,lack of inspiration. Ever face this kind of problem?

Hmm, i need a bit of advice, its about the very basics of creating a fanfic rider. Right now, Cosmos is stuck at this step. I managed to get a almost solid vision of what kind of rider he is,and the idea of the villain he fights,The Eternal Star. But i still can't get an exact idea what setting the story should be. Did you face this problem?

It might be on a long hold.Given the current situation,2 of our guys are not responding,and that the rest of us are still quite needing inspiration for our riders.Don't expect it to resume any time soon. By the way,do you face times where you are stuck at creating a rider series? Cosmos is now having that kind of problem for me.

Now,some people might wonder why Cosmos does not exploit his teleportation abilities that often. Thing is,he can't. Teleportation works differently from super speed. It's not as easy as the Houdini Splicer in Bioshock makes it to be.Its not touch of a button whoosh you go thing. You have to think where to teleport exactly within the range. As the Zone Dopant shows in W Ep 32,she had to say where the exact location of where to teleport things to. Ikari had to taught to increase his concentration skills and thinking speed later on to use this effectively in combat.

Okay,i need a bit of opinion on this current problem. You see,I'm wondering what is going to work for Cosmos. The reason why i abandoned the Dead Space Necrophite setting concept,was because i feel it would not have allowed a proper depiction of Cosmos.He would ahve been able to use his vehicle to space travel often,and the final villain and kaijin type was quite not very powerful if you ask me. The new setting concept i talked abut did have some things that works,that i would bring over.But i still can't get that feeling that it works 100%. Setting concept(things that work) 1.The beginning place does not take place on Earth. 2.Space traveling would be present in the story/more opportunities for the rider vehicles to used. 3.The Eternal Star. I can't figure out what i need to make this work.

There's one trait that i feel that should be able to kept to make him distinguishable.Its the one screen visor. And oh, you don't need to put any equipment(rider weapons and stuff like that) on him.

Okay, lets renew Cosmos's rider concept.I decided Cosmos had too much,and thus decided to simply him. He will be a bit like Faiz now.Just like Faiz's Sol Foam and Photon energy,The Dark Matter and Dark Energy are already in the suit and are part of it. But it would add in a bit of Kabuto. The Suit's armor parts would be made out of Dark Metal,a tough and stable variation of Dark Matter. Of course, other variations of Dark Matter is used for the rest of the suit. Dark Energy is energy that would be charged into finisher attacks. Cosmos can generate Dark Matter and Dark Energy if he wants to after the suit is formed,but he has not much a reason to do so until later. It is until later that Ikari learns of other applications to using generated Dark Matter and Dark Energy for other purposes in combat rather than just the normal offensive ways. Simple isn't it?its like W,using simple flexible base concepts and yet they can be complex in application. I'll see what he can do with just these base concepts. Dark Matter Powers Creating weapons out of it. Toughening the suit's armor or weapons. Condensing Dark Matter into a form where it can be hurled as a blast. Creating a Dark Matter Storm to rain Dark Matter in the area.( Dark Energy Powers Cloaking by producing visual distortions around the suit. Levitation Stasis blast to slow down opponents Charging the suit or weapons with it. Cosmos's true power is manipulation of space.As i said,he is the rider of Space. The first indication about that,is when Cosmos does his finishers. When Cosmos does a finisher,he essentially warps to the opponent and hits him with it. The concept of distance means very little to him. Just like how Kabuto as a rider of Time,will hardly be bothered by the concept of time. Space Powers Warp-short distance quick Teleportation Leap-long distance space jumping to get to destinations. For Galactic form,his Space Powers become very powerful.

What's everyone else progress again? Well, i suggest we should not take this fic too seriously as a commitment,but rather a fun sort of thing.

Actually for my request, you can also take inspiration from Dead Space or any other science fiction out there for the suit. I just need an astronaut kamen rider. Btw,Guyver V looks pretty cool.

The Eternal Star is essentially a living star. A star is very VERY big. Now imagine how much Hp does it have. ANT's Live sized Gundam Statue Prey had lots of hp,which made ANT's final form even break quite a sweat. Even in Cosmos Galactic form,his attacks were too insignificant. The only power which could bring it down was the Black Hole. But,like with Guyot,he had to deal with the problem of trying to close it afterwards.

................okay, i guess i should say, i haven't really got a stable idea of Cosmos. But working it out in this experimental new setting helped me get closer to what i feel he should be. Rider 1.Cosmos is the Rider of Space,just like how Kabuto and Den-O are Riders of Time. 2.Thus,his true powers are mostly related to the concept of Space. 3.His suit and powers is using Dark Energy and Dark Matter.Cosmos is quite a contrast to Kabuto. 4.Ikari is like Kenzaki from Kamen Rider Blade or Terry Mcgennis from Batman Beyond,he's quite young and still has quite much to learn. Setting 1.The beginning place does not take place on Earth. 2.Space traveling would be present in the story. 3.Possibly, i could keep The Eternal Star as the main villain. I intend for Cosmos to beat a magnificent opponent after all. I mean,hey ANT had to fight what would be literally an Allspark as a main villain.

Guess i'm not the only one who was impressed by Extreme form. Well, so far, i gotta admit something about Cosmos. I actually haven't really made a stable concept,it could change again. But i have taken a step forward still. During this time, i gained lots of experience and helping with ANT getting a good setting helped me realize what i should do with Cosmos.

I;m having trouble trying to imagine how Kamen Rider Astro looks like.I just want someone to draw an Astronaut kamen rider. So far, these two are refereral material that seem close to what's my imagining of him. The V1 system looks good,but i feel it is too powered armor design and not very space suit like. The other pic seems a little too light on the armor.Needs a little more bulk.

Okay, you might ask why Decade is so incompetent sometimes when he is so powerful. You see, as shown in the Prologue fight with the 9 riders and Magnus extinction,Decade clearly was having slight trouble with fighting them on equal grounds.He had to go Divine Invoke to overpower them. Decade lacks skill and experience.This is why when he does encounter opponents stronger than him/tight situations, he has difficulty dealing with such problems,thus looking incompetent.

Well, after seeing W's Metal Twister finisher,i realised there are that rod weapons that actually thrust or pierce actually do not really exist in Kamen Rider. So far, only Agito Storm form had a rod like weapon that pierces or thrusts.But even then,he never thrusts it at the opponent.At most or piercing or slight slashing. I decided to make Cosmos's so called "rod" would be actually a double edged spear. Cosmos's "rod" finishers are different from most rod wielding riders,since he thrusts and pierces the enemy with it. (using this as reference,see if this is the style for japanese spears.) http://www.konara-han.com/keikotraining/yariwaza.html

Okay, just more illustration.This is regarding Decade. Decade has the divine protection given to the user called Super Existence upon Decadriver coming into possession of the user.This is why he has a better chance of escaping death,especially ones caused by unnatural means. So even if unnatural means like time travel was used to kill Tsukasa,it won't likely succeed. Of course,if Tsukasa is fated to die, this divine protection would had not be around any longer. You could say its a kind of luck boost.

Yep watched that one, but its more of a living spherical star if it were to be described in appearance. It has a horrifying truth that will be discovered in the story.It eats suns and stars to get stronger! This being was so powerful and massive,that even Cosmos Galactic form could not actually beat it in a fight. The only way Cosmos beat him was that he mustered all his power and might to create a black hole to destroy it.

The main villain of Cosmos is The Eternal Star, a strange godlike being of energy that uses the alien covenant formed by the Chromians to conquer the galaxy.

Sorry, erm tales, has been busy as of late. And ,yeah we everyone's doing their own stuff in the meantime.

Anyway, i mentioned earlier that Goro has to appeal to the 9 worlds to not hate Tsukasa that much. If he didn't,Tsukasa would definitely learn the meaning of the phrase "God hates me." very well. Although Worlds are a different kind of being and mostly cannot take direct action,they can indirectly do things to anything living in them. In Tsukasa's case, if Goro didn't appeal to Shadow's World,he's gonna have a harder time in Shadow's World. Shadow's World would have tried to chase Tsukasa out by any means at most of the chances it gets. Tsukasa would be fortunate to merely have Ryoutarou's Guinness Records level of bad luck in that case. Of course, since this is Decade we are talking about, Tsukasa has his own personal luck.He would simply just suffer a penalty to his luck. Alternatively, if he was going the Devil's route, and going to destroy and conquer the entire world he was on, he would be literally "raging against the heavens" using Divine Invoke while the entire world fights him with all its got. But do note that this kind of fight would take time.Even Demigods can't destroy an entire world instantly. It would be like a human trying to kill a giant,but its possible for him to win a fight against an entire world alone. Though, its not really that he can win against every single world he comes across in the multiverse. But this is how Decade can be the Destroyer of Worlds,because he does have enough power to devastate a world.He isn't your normal superhuman.He's a demigod!
