The long-awaited Secondary Rider to Drakol, this is the ancient hero of legend: Kamen Rider Lor! (named for "Lore," if that wasn't obvious, because I couldn't think of anything better)

In-universe, the Drakol Driver is a powerful relic that has existed in the world for as long as the world has been around. Nobody knows just quite where it came from, passed down from hero to hero protecting humanity over the years. But at some point in humanity's ancient history, a threat so great emerged that Drakol alone could not stand up to. Thus, using powerful alchemic and arcane rites that would one day be lost to time, humanity created a number of belts meant to mimic Drakol's powers. The strongest of these man-made Drivers was Lor, said to be just as powerful as Drakol--if not, more so. And like the Drakol Driver, it was lost to time for thousands of years before emerging again in the modern-day with a new user.

A lot of love and care went into Lor's design. In the end, I wanted to incorporate some of Arzol's old design language into him, such as the large chest emblems and the belt (more on that later). Drakol's powers sort of update and evolve with each new user, while Lor is static, and I think I got that across well here. He looks a bit more primitive than Drakol, in my opinion, a bit more ceremonial.

Lor's Driver is modeled after Arzol's belt, as well as the belts of Kuuga and Den-O. Functionality is simple: Press one of the four colored buttons on the face of the driver, then spin the big golden ring in the center. For finishers, press the same button again and spin the ring again. Simple enough. His weapon (singular), however, is a bit trickier. The "default state" of the weapon is the bare hilt you can see next to the driver up there. Like his belt, it has a big gold spinning ring. But here it's more of a dial than a spinner, and obviously, it rotates the colored cross-section in the middle. To actually use one of his weapons, he rotates the dial until the respective color for the weapon he wants is at the top (relative to the handle), then pulls the trigger. From there, tokusatsu magic takes hold and forms the selected weapon from thin air (also extending the hilt, as necessary). Green is the sword, blue is the gun, yellow is the spear, and magenta is the ax. However, despite the dial being color-coordinated to each of Lor's four forms, these individual weapon modes are not locked to any one form. Any form can use any weapon (even Magenta, despite the claws). And yes: ancient humans were able to alchemy up a gun. Don't question it, it's a Kamen Rider OC. I at least based it (loosely) on a flintlock.

Heroic Power, Lor Mighty:
Lor's default form, which is unique in that it has no elemental alignment. This form is physically stronger than Drakol's default form, but also a bit slower to compensate. As expected with being his most balanced form, it uses the four weapons in roughly equal amounts. He favors hand-to-hand combat in this form, but will occasionally bust out the gun or ax for convenience. When he whips out the sword in this form, he's probably just using it for a finishing attack (and it's basically the Black RX Revolcane finisher).

Cryptic Power, Lor Gheist:
Lor's second form is his weird/mystical form. As the name suggests, it has a variety of ghost-like abilities such as levitation, invisibility, and the ability to phase through solid objects. But this form goes the extra mile with his elemental ability: time. Nothing as overpowered as Ex-Aid's Cronus or Kabuto's Clock Up/Hyper Clock Up, but this form can do some nifty wibbly-wobbly tricks. Usually bubbles of slowed/speed up time. This form primarily uses his weapon's gun mode, which lets him put those time bubbles in faraway places. He also sometimes uses the spear, but more as a scepter/wand than a spear.

Gracious Power, Lor Unicorn:
Unicorn is Lor's sturdiest and strongest base form, imbued with the power of light. What it lacks in speed it makes up for with power, capable of using its light-elemental abilities to cast scorching beams, conjure glowing barriers, or to create a small number of hard-light clones of himself (they are translucent and glow, it isn't hard to distinguish them from the original). It also has some very limited healing magic that can be used on allies or civilians. This form typically favors the spear, but will switch to the sword every now and again. It almost never uses the gun, but when it does it packs a punch.

Baneful Power, Lor Beast:
Last but certainly not least is the darkness-elemental form to balance out the light. This form is Lor's fastest form by far, and that speed is only further enhanced by his short-range teleportation. But despite his enhanced speed, this form can still hit really freaking hard, those giant claws make sure of that. Though they don't encase his hands entirely (as you might be able to see if you look close), so the use of his weapons is still possible. Gun and ax are the only two worth using in this form, however, sword and spear need a bit more finesse. But again, this form usually just sticks to the claws. Formerly a vampire themed form, but I feel like the design is more Werewolf like, IMO

Now despite what his Driver may imply, like Drakol, Lor will be receiving upgrades at some point in the future. For now, though, I just wanted to get his standard batch of suits and weapons done and dusted just so they'd be out in the world.
