Personality: Hoshi is a hard-working, straight laced young man. He's friendly, well liked by his classmates, and generous. For a while though, he was an absolute bundle of nerves, pulled every which way. He's since learned that it's okay to relax and take a breather sometimes, and all parts of his life have improved for it.
Backstory:
In the year of 1995, high school student Hoshi Oudori had a concrete dream: He was going to be a master chef. He was well on his way- he did a lot of the cooking at home, he passed all his high school cooking classes with flying colors, and he was already working part time at a high-end Italian restaurant downtown. Sure, it was as a waiter, but he had a foot in the door. But between helping his parents with three younger siblings, holding down a job, cooking classes, and school, the stress would be enough to get to anyone. His performance started to slip. Everyone was concerned, but nobody really seemed to understand what he was dealing with in pursuit of his dream. He just needed to get away from all the things weighing down on him for a while, they said. So one day a few years ago, he took a walk to the park, where he found a strange cassette in the gutter. Seeing some kids he knew from school next to a boombox dancing, he decided to return the tape to them. Seeing their classmate stressed, they invited him to take a break and watch them dance for a while. Not wanting to seem rude and having some spare time, he sat to watch their performance. He was... honestly shocked by how happy and free they looked. Deciding to give it a try, he took the tape he found and put it in the boombox. That was the first time he'd heard Freestyle music- and he found his body moving to it. He couldn't remember being this relaxed in years!
But he wasn't the only one drawn in by the music- after a year of secretly hanging out with this group, a strange monstrous being like some kind of humanoid ant announced that they were going to help with an experiment. Thankfully, Hoshi wasn't a pushover- he'd taken a few self-defense classes, and bought his friends time to escape. But his strength wasn't enough- the monster was inhumanly strong, and carried him away. He awoke later in some nightmare lab from a science fiction double feature, bound to a table. Whoever his captors were, there was an alien untying him. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, he grabbed his Freestyle tape and what he thought was his and Walkman from a nearby table, making a run for it alongside his rescuer. His benefactor, an alien defector, revealed that he had been taken to an underground lab and experimented on. The device he had stolen was actually something aliens used to analyze and defeat cultures by studying special recordings of their biology, culture, and technology- and with the right tapes, they could fight back against the invaders. But they didn't have time to recover the right tapes, as the ant monster from earlier once again attacked them. After being roughed up for a while and seeing no other option, Hoshi slammed the Freestyle tape in... and to his and the benefactor's astonishment, heard a rapid rewinding sound. Confused, Hoshi pressed Play.
"RIDE THE RHYTHM!"
Strange lights began floating in the air. As Hoshi reached up towards one, the music began surging. Upon contact with it, his arm was encased in a glowing green exoskeleton. The ant monster charged him, though Hoshi found he was energized by the music. Dodging and weaving to the rhythm, he made his way to all the lights, prompting the track to change from a warmup to something you could really dance to.
"FEELIN' THAT... FREESTYLE FLOW!"
As Kamen Rider Break, Hoshi fought the alien menace, slowly overcoming it with techniques that were part martial art, part dance. Over the course of his battles with the invaders, he laughed, cried, had family drama, started dating one of the breakdancing girls, had his secret hobby revealed to his family who came to accept the needed stress relief, and fought a looot of aliens. He came to realize their entire culture was based around corporate, social, and military standing, with little room for recreation or individuality. In fact, these things, so integral to the human spirit, were completely... well, alien concepts to them. His mission changed. He'd still defeat and fight the monsters- but he'd help them realize that there was another way to live. He'd help them find a rhythm that was theirs alone!
That was a couple months ago for him, before he brought forth understanding between man and alien. Now, he's in Gladius, popping, locking, and protecting whoever he can from the dangers of this new dimension.
Skills: Hoshi is training to be a master chef. In the meantime, though, he has a secret hobby- as the freshest breakdancer in the city! He's agile, he knows the Afro-Brazilian fighting style of Caporeira, and he's good with people. He's also pretty good at the whole motorcycling thing.
Powers/Abilities:
Weaknesses: Like other Riders, enough damage will force him out of his suit.
Gear:
"Looks like I finally found my groove!"
"Let's party like it's 1995!"
"Grooving to the beat of justice- Kamen Rider Break!"
"Everyone's got their own beat, and you don't get to say they can't dance to it!"
Goals: He just wants to help people find their place in the world, do some good, and make good food.

Powers/Abilities:
- Super Strength- As a Showa Rider, he's a modified human. Even out of his suit, he has enough strength to bend iron bars.
- Omniglot- Because music is a universal language, he's able to communicate with any sentient creature by dancing.
- Perfect Timing- Between his aptitude for dance and the superhuman senses and reflexes granted to him by alien experimentation, Hoshi has a perfect sense of timing.
Weaknesses: Like other Riders, enough damage will force him out of his suit.
Gear:
- Machine Breaker: Hoshi's motorcycle. It's a dark blue Honda sport bike.
- Break Blaster: Hoshi's boombox. When he transforms, it becomes a tremendous sonic cannon.
- Ride Player: a cassette player that sits on his hip, resembling a Sony Walkman. It lets him use Ride Cassettes to transform into Kamen Rider Break. By pressing various buttons on the side, he can use various abilities:
- Play: "Ride the Rhythm! [Name]!"- By pressing the play button, Hoshi transforms, or accesses the power of another Ride Cassette.
- Rewind: "C'MON, PLAY IT BACK!"- By rewinding the Ride Cassette, Hoshi resets his body to an earlier point in a fight, erasing damage. However, overuse of this causes him to grow weaker because he's not getting exercise.
- Fast Forward: "UP TEMPO! HIGH TEMPO! MAX TEMPO!"- By fast forwarding the tape, Hoshi moves at varying speeds.
- Volume Up: "LOUD AND PROUD!"- By increasing the volume, his attacks become louder and stronger.
- Volume Down: "Quiet please!"- By decreasing the volume, his attacks become weaker, but he becomes much, much stealthier.
- Previous Track: "Let's Groove! [name] Beat!"
- Next Track: "GROOVE AND MOVE! [name] Finish!"
- Ride Cassette: Freestyle Flow- An alien recording on cassette of human culture containing something Hoshi calls "The Beat of Justice." When played on the Rideplayer, Hoshi transforms into the iridescent green Kamen Rider Break. With a helmet resembling a jewel wasp with musical notes for eyes and antennae, a sturdy blue chest guard, gauntlet/wristband combos, biker gloves, and sensible shoes that look something like sneakers, he obviously takes design cues from both the Showa and Heisei era Riders. The backwards cap over his helmet is his own touch, though.
- Ride Cassette: Para Para Power- An alien recording on cassette of human culture filled with the stankiest Eurobeat this side of a David Rogers album, the dance form of Para Para involves large groups, allowing Hoshi to add the power of those who participate in the dance to his own. Of course, they need to keep up with an expert breakdancer.
- Ride Cassette: Turbo Techno- An alien recording on cassette of human culture containing information about our machines. While using this cassette, the Beat of Justice rouses even machines to dance along... as best they're able. Cars will drive and use their hydraulics, vending machines will sway back and forth while spewing soda cans, lamp posts will pop and lock alongside him, tanks will move their barrel in time with the song like it was a glowstick.
"Looks like I finally found my groove!"
"Let's party like it's 1995!"
"Grooving to the beat of justice- Kamen Rider Break!"
"Everyone's got their own beat, and you don't get to say they can't dance to it!"
Goals: He just wants to help people find their place in the world, do some good, and make good food.
