Darren Carter

Kamen Rider Chrono Warrior is the main protagonist & eponymous character of the American Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider: Chrono Warrior.

Personality
Darren Carter is a hypocritical & self-righteous young man who does not know much about his past. He has a strong desire to "catch the world" using his photos, but they never develop well. He sees this as a sign that he is not of this world, unaware of it being a prelude of it being supplanted by the worlds of the other seven Kamen Riders. However as Chrono Warrior, he is seen as an agent of destruction, usually being called "the devil", a rumor spread by Oliver, who believes Darren does not belong in any world.

It is also revealed that those who appear in his badly developed photographs die or foreshadow events. As Darren travels between dimensions, his clothing changes to suit the Rider's World, including some accouterments similar in color to his camera & Chrono Warrior. He also exhibits some prior knowledge or a talent necessary to his quest in the Rider's Worlds he enters. Some examples include his enrollment as a student in Phi's World. He has also mentioned before that he is capable of doing anything except for taking photos.

Before a climatic battle begins, Darren answers a major villain's demand for his identity by saying that he is "I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by. Remember that!"

Darren uses a "Chrono Pink" Blackbird, fly 135 Twin Lens Reflex Camera.

Becoming Chrono Warrior
When Darren is confronted by Summer over the photos he has taken, the two get separated by a dimensional barrier that sends Summer into an unstable pocket dimension where she flees for her life from various monsters before finding the Chronodriver from her dreams. While looking for her, Darren encounters Scott Stoker, who calls him "Chrono Warrior". Scott tells him today is the day his world will end, & that he is needed to protect it.

After finding Summer, Darren uses the Kamen Ride Cards to assume the forms of Beetleborg, Phi, & Echo Demon to deal with groups of Worm, Orphnoch, & Makamou. Confused by both his actions & the cards' powers' fading, Darren takes Summer & returns to their world as it is being destroyed by the various monsters. When time suddenly freezes, Scott appears, revealing the status of the worlds & assigning Darren the task of traveling into the other worlds to stop the dimensional chaos inflicted on his own world by meeting the Riders of each of the other dimensions.

World of Vampire King

Then at the World of Dragon Knight, Darren defends the framed Summer in a murder case & solves it with the aid of Kit Porter. The true villain, Hadley, is revealed to have been an Undead all along & is taken by Oliver to the World of Spade Warrior after his defeat.

Darren later resolves the tension between Nathan & Laney Granger over Nathan's identity, giving Nathan the will to continue protecting the school.

World of Electric King
Upon arriving in the World of Electric King, Darren becomes Electric King under the possession of an Imagin.

Believing their adventures with Electric King to be over, only to learn the identity of the true culprits for Electric King World's time distortions, they prepare to travel to the World of Beetleborg until the Swan Imagin Sieg comes into the Tinker Studio with a manuscript showing a battle at the Demon Battleship.

After the impostor is exposed, the Worm is killed by Beetleborg when it attempted to kill a girl named Helen whose brother was believed to have been killed by Beetleborg. Although it seemed that Hornix's user, Lynn Bloxham, is her brother, Darren felt something was not right. After learning that Helen herself is a Worm, both his meeting with Grandma & learning the full nature of the Beetleborg Capture Plan allow him to get the full story. Arriving to Helen's aid, Darren helps Beetleborg, Helen's real brother Drew, in defeating Bloxham in his true identity, the Phylloxera Worm.

Darren later offers his aid to Josh after he became the new Echo Demon thanks to Ashton, whom he still acknowledged as a thief & nothing more.

World of Negatives
With the journey over, Darren & the others of the Tinker Studio return to what appears to be Summer's world to find it back to normal as if it was not plagued by the monsters. Despite being in a perfect world that he has earned, according to Bram Stoker, it is revealed that it is only a parallel version of their own world where the monsters have taken over & killed all but a few humans.

After being tested by Bram, Darren gains the K-Touch after turning down Bram's offer to live in a world of lies, using Chrono Warrior's Complete Form to take out the Dark Riders. Knowing that their journey is not really over, the Tinker Studio group heads to the next world, Seymour's homeworld.

He & Ashton team up to defeat Fourteen to free all those who have been brainwashed, leaving only Ashton's brother Derek, Kamen Rider A-King, who was not brainwashed but accepting of Fourteen's peaceful world. He teaches the two brothers that they have to protect each other, no matter what, before heading off to the next world.
