FIERCE

FIERCE is a fictional secret organization in the fanfictional American tokusatsu production Kamen Rider: Echo Demon. It has been defending the USA against the threats imposed by an assortment of monstrous creatures called Makamou for at least hundreds of years.

Organization
FIERCE has offices & agents all over the US. Each office is assigned a number of combatant agents called Demons & a backup team for intelligence, research, logistics, etc. FIERCE has been around for nearly 200 years, probably during the Civil War. The group was originally started as a partnership between the original Demon warriors & humans. Today the group is more of a training & support group for the Demons.

Personnel

 * Amos Flores - The Current Head Official of FIERCE's East branch. A cheerful man who sends the Demons out on their missions & gives them thoughtful advice before they go into battle. He researches on the Makamou with the library at his disposal.
 * Lavender Flores - The elder of the Flores sisters. A very intelligent individual, like her father. She is usually acts a field support for the Demons providing supplies & extra disc animals. She is liked by Ibuki, though early on she just ignores him.
 * Monday Flores - The younger of the Flores sisters. Her cheerful demeanor makes up for her lack of intelligence like her older sister. She usually hangs around FIERCE Headquarters to track the Makamou & rarely goes out into the field. She has a crush on Todoroki, but he is usually clueless about her approaches.
 * Diana Fairchild
 * Chloe Falls - FIERCE's Equipment & Weapons designer. She is responsible for creating the sound weapons for the Demons & the Disc Animals. She is an old friend of Dustin, who have been friends since childhood & joined FIERCE to aid him once he became the current Echo Demon.
 * Chance Bancroft - The Head of FIERCE's Weapon Design section & Chloe's mentor, a former Demon who is said to have defeated twenty Makamou single-handedly. He is also a singer in his spare time. Much of FIERCE, including Amos, fears him because of his strict disciplinary personality (with an exception of a few people). When he is angered, he chases his "victim" & hits them with a paddle. He arrives to also travels using a motorcycle with the newly improved Armed Saber which he made & was almost too powerful for any Demon to control, causing them to lose their transformation abilities for a month. When Torodoki & Hibiki were affected by the Armed Saber, Chance trained the two with his special training to improve their powers. The training, utilizing energy from the gut while singing, paid off for Hibiki because it enabled him to wield the Armed Saber.
 * Ken Fletcher

Demons
A Demon is an exceptional athlete who has acquired amazing fighting abilities through intensive training & the use of advanced weaponry. His or her most powerful equipment is both a weapon & a musical instrument, whose 'pure' sounds are the only means to purge the evil spirits of the Makamou. Demons follow a one-master-one-apprentice tradition.

Upon the retirement of their master, an apprentice will inherit the responsibilities as well as all equipment from his or her predecessor. He or she will often inherit the master's title too, but there are exceptions. When a person transforms into a Demon, the persons' clothes are often burnt up or sliced to pieces in the process, though there are ways to learn how to not let them be destroyed. If a Demon fights relying on his or her anger, the forehead emblem will grow over the face. When a Demon becomes evil, the headquarters decide if they should be eliminated. If they decide to eliminate the Demon, they send someone from the head family to carry out the task. In the TV series, there are about a total of 113 active Demons in the US.

Disk Animals
Produced mainly for reconnaissance purpose, the Disk Animals are an advance version of the shikigami that Demons had used in the past. The Disk Animals can switch between their compact discs form & animal forms like origami, & can turn invisible at will. They record the noises made by Makamou & return to their master to reveal the monsters' location in the area.

List & Description of Disc Animals

 * Madder Hawk: The falcon is light weight & suited for covering terrain from the air. With its sharp wings it is capable of cutting attacks in both of its forms. Its weak point is both its duty & recording time is cut short from the energy it consumes from flight. It is also to be noted that among the Disc Animals, this is the only one proven to have a former Shikigami incarnation, which is bigger & flies faster.
 * Azure Wolf: With its four-legged design, it is best for ground terrain, especially dense brush & rock areas. When sent out in numbers they usually travel in packs. It has a sharp, fanged mouth for attacking targets. Has a long duty & recording time & is very durable.
 * Green Ape: This disk animal has the special function of video recording images & sound because its intelligence is a little higher than normal. It's acrobatic & suited for through branches in forested areas. It's very strong & delivers a power punch for attack, because of this it can also guard & protect victims from danger.
 * Yellow Crab: Is best for recording both above & below water & is suited for travel in wet areas (beaches, swamps, etc) or underwater. Its large pincer claw is strong enough to cut a steel cable & can turn into a drill than can bore through a concrete wall. Its durable design can withstand falling rocks or powerful water currents. It was upgraded very recently from its old design.
 * Orange Lion: Is capable of video recording & has a very long duty & recording time. Can travel through dense brush & rocks.
 * Light Blue Eagle: The successor of the Falcon type Disk Animal, it has greater duty & recording time plus can record video as well. Because of its higher intelligence it's capable of united formation with a group of Disk Animals when attacking a monster. It attacks with its sharp wings for cutting attacks in both forms.
 * Black Cobra: Is capable of amphibious travel & can record underwater. Because of its design its recording abilities is less than other disc animals. Is best suited for small, tight areas it can move through with its slender body. It can coil around the enemy & tightly squeeze them. Because of this it can be used as handcuffs or a rod, it also has a dangerous bite for attacking Makamou.
 * Celadon Frog: Can function best underwater where it is able to travel up to speeds of nearly mach 1. When used in a battle underwater, this Disc Animal can slice almost anything in half within a matter of seconds.

Ancient Disc Animals
These Disc Animals were an ancestral basis for the design used for the Disc Animals. Unlike the present series counterparts, the Disc Animals were gigantic in size. Each being roughly as large as a tree.

Armed Disc Animals
These are stronger versions of Echo Demon's Disc Animals. They come to him only when he is in Armed Form. They are all the same black & red color, unlike basic Disc Animals that are multi-colored.

FIERCE Gear
The FIERCE Gear existed long before the human-Demon Kamen Rider alliance. It is not stated how the original Demon Kamen Riders received their transformation items & weapons. After the human-Demon Kamen Rider alliance known as "FIERCE" was formed, human science was used to help improve the usefulness of the Demon Kamen Rider weapons & transformation devices.

Transformation Tuning Fork
The Transformation Tuning Fork is an item resembling a tuning fork. It is the most commonly used transformation device among the Demon Kamen Riders, usually those whose arsenal revolves around the Taiko. It is said to be the simplest of all transformation devices to make, yet has the capability to unlock the greatest power within all Demons that use it. During the events of the end of the series, the Tuning Fork was used by all Demons & possessed a katana mode called the Echo Tuning Fork Sword.

Transformation Whistle
The Transfromation Whistle is considered the most difficult of the FIERCE Gear to create. It is used mainly by Kamen Riders who wield weapons based on the use of wind such as a trumpet or flute. These are also the only of the FIERCE Gear that the Head Family of the FIERCE organization uses. The color of the Transformation Whistle usually defines the color of the Demon. For example Majestic Breath Demon's is gold with blue accents & so is his armor color (mainly face & gloves are blue).

Transformarion String Brace
The Transformation String Brace is used mainly by the string instrument based Kamen Riders. These are considered to be uncommon, but neither as rare as the Whistle or as common as the Tuning Fork. The Transformation String Brace is a wrist device, attached the wrist, the user pulls on a chain that lifts a face plate on the Transformation String Brace. The user then plucks the strings & their body is filled with a powerful burst of lightning as they transform. The strings of the Transformation String Brace are the color of the ornamental strings on the Demon's armor. For example the strings on Roaring Demon's Transformation String Brace are red as are the ones on his armor.
