THE MASKED RIDERS
The Masked Riders in "Kamen Rider Ryuki" are individuals who gain their powers by using powerful card decks created by Shiro Kanzaki. These Advent Cards are used to activate various weapons and to summon the monster which they have a "contract" with. The card deck also acts as the Rider's life insurance policy. If the deck is destroyed, or they lose their Contract card, they will be vunerable to being hunted down by their own former monster and killed.

The Riders can only do battle in the Mirror World, but first they must transform (henshin) in front of a reflective surface, which they use as a portal into the Mirror World. The Riders can only survive in the Mirror World for a limited time. When the time begins to expire, their bodies start to deteriorate. Each Rider uses a "Visor" to place the Advent cards into and activate their weapons. The "Final Vent" card is used to perform a deadly finishing move.
