Lord (Kamen Rider) - Fictional History

Fictional History

The Lords are a group of powerful disciples serving under the OverLord, who created them from his body. Referred by the police department as Unknown (アンノウン, Annōn?), to differ them from the Unidentified Lifeforms (Gurongi Tribe) that attacked humanity two years ago. In fact, according to books and mini-encyclopedias about Kamen Rider Agito, the Lords are actually related to the Linto (リント, Rinto?) tribe, defending them from the Gurongi in the past, thus linking the Lords to the Linto as humanity's protectors. This war between the Gurongi and Unknown is further explained in Kamen Rider Decade.

All Lords are human-like with the head of the animal whose tribe they belong to. All of them have a wing-shaped protuberance sticking out of their shoulder, possibly referencing their existence as either angels or holy messengers as they target survivors of the Akatsuki incident, as they and other humans possess a form of psychic power that marked them as having the potential to become Agito. The reason for this is that Lords protect humanity, but do not think they require the power of Agito as it would only corrupt them. When they murder that certain type of person, they commit a ritual by using their hands, saying that they want permission to sin. At the same time, a halo would appear over their heads. Every one of them had their unique way of murdering, for example: leaving the corpse in a tree, dissolving the human, drying the human into death, changing the human into sand, pulling the human in the ground, dragging the human into the air and dropping them, vaporizing, etc. Killing a normal human is considered a taboo with a penalty of death, though there are exceptions if the human in question committed murder. When a Lord is killed, the halo normally materilizes over their heads before they explode.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or history:

    It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

    As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
