Character's background (their past and present): http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Haruto_Souma#Biography
Character's personality: Haruto is a man who at the core of things, strives to keep hope alive in other people. As someone who's been on the brink of despair more than once, he doesn't want anyone to fall into it, and thus has dedicated himself to being the hope of a great number of people, both as himself and as Wizard. A big foundation of this is having watched his parents die from a car crash, where they told him to not lose hope before they passed away. On top of this, a bit before the series started, Haruto and a friend of his, Kazuya, were in the running to become pro soccer players - during their tryouts, Haruto accidentally injured his friend, and thus ruined his friend's shot at being a pro. This weighed on him greatly until they met up again when his friend turned out to be a target of the Phantoms, the monsters he fights - over the course of him trying to protect Kazuya, they reconciled their differences.

Haruto's dream is to protect the hope of everyone, and in the process of doing this, he puts his fretting, emotional self behind the facade of an easygoing, cool guy who always has a witty remark to say. When things get rough, however, that facade falls and he generally fumbles around not knowing how to deal with it until his friends remind him what he's out to do - or he remembers on his own. He's a big believer in not letting one's past control them, and looking only toward the future. While he doesn't blatantly say so, his actions show that he greatly values friendships - when his friends are in danger, he's quick to jump to their aid and will gladly put himself in dire harm's way if necessary.
Character's skills/abilities/powers: Haruto harbors a creature known as a Phantom, which are beings that consume their host and kill them when their host has despair inflicted upon them. Haruto's is a large, western-style dragon that is simply referred to as "Dragon" in-series. While Dragon lives, and Haruto keeps from giving into despair, he has the ability to use magic, via the WizarDriver and its rings. He uses mana to cast his magic, and has a limited amount of it that must be replenished over time once used.
Any special equipment your character is bringing along? This includes weaponry, magic items, etc.: WizarDriver - Haruto's transformation device and what he primarily uses to do magic with. It normally passes itself off as a hand-shaped belt-buckle, but can be called out in full with the use of the Driver On ring.

Machine Winger - A themed motorcycle styled after Wizard's Flame Style appearance. Can be combined with WizarDragon within people's Underworlds.

Wizard Rings - Various rings Haruto uses to either transform into Wizard, change Styles, or cast spells with. There's...a lot of them. The following Rings are special event rings and will not be brought along: Merry Christmas Ring, Fourze Engage Ring, Special Rush Ring, Time Ring, Miracle Ring, Super Sentai Ring, Finish Strike Ring, Chichin Pui Pui Ring & Dance Ring.

Wizarswordgun - A weapon that functions as both a gun and sword and has a ring-scanner on it so that various Wizard Rings can be used with it for special attacks. Unlike his other weapons, Haruto always has access to this, and has used it both as a human and while transformed into Wizard.

PlaMonsters - Magical familiars that are summoned via their appropriate Wizard Rings, mostly used for scouting/searching.

Drago Timer - A watch-like device that only appears when Haruto is in one of his four Dragon Styles. It allows him to summon copies of himself in the other three Dragon Styles, as well as access a handful of finishing moves.

Axcalibur - An axe-sword weapon that only appears when Haruto is in Infinity Style. Like the Wizarswordgun, it has a ring-scanner on it to trigger special attacks.
Are you bringing your character to ten_fwd from another game? If you are, which game?: No.
If you answered yes above, briefly summarize how they were changed by and what challenges they faced in the climate of their previous game(s): N/A
Why do you want to play this character in Ten Forward, and what do you plan to do with them? Hope is a valuable asset when dealing with an overbearing omnipotent being - Haruto will see the situation with Q as something he can help with. OOCly, putting a magical character in a sci-fi setting is something of a weakness of mine. Also I was tempted here by talk of an active Picard.
