Mostly voting that because a Hajime expy is boring, I've seen you do a Chiaki expy, and a Yukari expy would probably be a bit of a jerk.

I vote the male ritsu expy.

Spoiler: Still a ripoff (click to show/hide)

Name: Oliver Sloane / Armored Rider Joker / Monochrome Rider
Age: 24
Race: Human
Gender/Sex: Cis/Male
Description: A thin young man, at a height of 5'10'', with brown hair and grey eyes. Often wears office attire on his job as a private detective, with a small bowler hat for style. It makes him look silly, but he chooses to wear it anyway because it's a comfortable hat. They have an obsession with the idea of 'hard-boiled' detectives but are often far too friendly to pull off being 'hardboiled'. Around their waist is an Armored Rider belt, in black and white, with the symbol of the Fool Arcana, a stylized jester's mask, embossed on the buckle. A silver holster is at the side of the belt, where the Prototype Gun Visor is kept, allowing him to access it even in human form.

Armored Rider Form: Similar in design to Armored Rider Aeon/Argent Gale’s armor, they have an undersuit of white flexible material. A black chestplate with a stylized fool's mask embossed into it, representing the Fool Arcana, is mounted upon it with a whole plate protecting their back and two black pauldrons on their shoulders. Their helmet consists of an entire plate covering the whole face and two red holes for the eyes, with two antennae mounted on the center of the top of the helmet. A silver scarf protects the neck, wrapped tightly around it.

Awaken Mode: The pauldrons, chestplate and helmet change, as the pauldrons extend over the arms and slightly beyond, the chestplate changes to accomodate a tower behind the fool's mask and the helmet gains a third spoke on the antennae, resembling a crown. The boots and gloves change to appear more armoured, and the scarf transforms into a small cloak.

Perks:
Consummate Detective: Oliver is a skilled detective, having been an avid detective since youth. +20 to Perception rolls and detecting ambushes, as well as detecting evidence.

Determination of the Rider: Their inability to give up in battle is part of their identity. 200% bonus to resisting mental effects, and their health drain when unconscious is halved. Also grants the Unique Skill Henshin! in human form and Summon Bike when in Armored Rider form.

Deadeye: Oliver, as with any good hardboiled detective, is a good shot with his gun, whether it be a revolver or the Prototype Gun Visor. Even when enemies have passive or active dodge chance or his attack has a chance to miss, Oliver has a 10% chance to land his attack.
