So because I didn't reserve any color I was flipflopping back and forth between who I wanted to be and as coincidence would have it, I created an Asian character to be yellow ranger. Our black ranger also happens to be Black. Facepalms. Just thought it was a funny coincidence (racist Zordon jokes have already been done to death anyways).

Here's my CS.

Name: Saya Kaneshiro
Color: Yellow
Age: 19
Personality: Saya is quiet, unassuming, and fairly confident in her abilities. She does, however, harbor a little bit of anxiety towards how she is perceived by others, being a minority. She tries her best to give a good first impression by being polite and respectful, and maintaining that image through continued behavior, and so far, she's gotten along well, making a few close friends and earning her place in Angel Grove, but the hint of fragility is still there. This anxiety may perhaps be responsible for her almost supernatural awareness. She is extremely sensitive to details and has an incredible ability to focus and concentrate, lending themselves well to her academics. Though she is not very physically strong, her detail oriented sensitivity grants her a great deal of control, discipline, and finesse in her graceful, conservative and wasteless movements. She is nurturing and helpful to the best of her abilities, but because she does not speak unless spoken to, and does not approach unless approached, she appears cold, aloof, untouchable, and even haughty to many people, which she interprets as them finding her uninteresting. Family means everything to her, and even though a situation has never arisen requiring this, she would sell her soul to the devil to protect her family and close friends from harm.
Description: Slender and of average height with shoulder length black hair and light hazel eyes. She humbly denies her own attractiveness, and since she hasn't been approached by any guys, she assumes she is correct.

Background history: Born to her immigrant father, Iori Kaneshiro and mother Mary Adiemus, Saya is of mixed heritage and encountered some small issues of alienation when she was very young from her classmates, but those attitudes seem to have phased out as she grew. She has fared well with her grades and is now a 2nd year at Angel Grove University studying neuroscience, though what to others may seem like effortless grace, her life has been the continuous act of walking on eggshells, and as such, her life has been peaceful and quite uneventful. She has a younger brother named Tatsuya in high school. She chose AGU mainly because it was close to home, but her father insisted that she stay in the dorms on campus rather than live at home because he wanted her to spread her wings and not have her independence stifled by proximity to family.

May add some sort of martial arts training if that is one of Zordon's selection criteria.

Name:
Nerissa "Neri" Caras
Color:
White(/Green)
Age:
17
Personality:
Nerissa is, at times, spunky and loud; she just enjoys having as much fun as possible in her life. She is as loyal to her friends as well as her family as a dog is to its master. Attack any of her friends and Neri will take it as an attack upon herself. She’ll attack with twice as much fury at the attacker. She is willing to talk and be nice but unless she knows you enough, she is as shy as a butterfly and will never open up to you unless it’s about the basic things about her. Once they broken through Neri’s outer shell, she is a sweet, thoughtful, and determined girl. She can be lazy at times but when she gets her mind decided on things, she is as stubborn as a mule. She is adventurous and likes to make a bit of trouble. Optimistic and daring; she is always looking on the better side of things. All in all, Nerissa has a good heart, well-developed mind and a strong will.]
Discription:
Nerissa stands at 5'11 without her heels and with she stands to about 6'1. She has a pale tan complexion with hardly any beauty marks or freckles on her body. She has dark brunette hair color with natural lighter brunette streaks throughout her hair. Her hair, when let loose, reaches about her lower back. However, she will normally have her hair up with most of her hair in a bun with some hair cascading down reaching about mid-back with some hair loose framing her face. She has sectoral heterochromic eyes. Her right eye is half hazel with the other half blue and her left eye is a full hazel color. She has a lithe, and slightly muscular body from gymnastics and light martial arts training.
Background history:
Born blind, Nerissa was dumped at the doorstep of an orphanage. One would think the orphanage was a run-down old building but it wasn’t. It was old yes but it was up-to-date on most things and quite nice there as some of the big-shot CEO’s of the small city donated to it to ‘show compassion to the poor things’ or so say the tabloids. It was because of this that around age 7, Nerissa was adopted by an old couple when they had heard of their daughter’s miscarry and was basically given to the depressed parents as a present which made both the new parents and Neri disgusted but they didn’t turn Neri away and helped her with her disability. It was in the summer before freshman year of high school where her ‘parents’ had won the lottery and had opted to spend the money on getting Nerissa an eye transplant.(Despite Neri's arguments) Gone the murky, unfocused heterochrormic eyes and in with the clear and bright eyes. It had taken a while for Nerissa to get used to lights and seeing and even more time for her friends to remember that she could see. It was now her senior year, and she was ready for a change.

Now that I'm back from work, I'm gonna try and add more to my CS.

As for power ranger tropes, oh well it happens. I tried to make my character as far away from the typical teenager with attitude who knows martial arts as I could.

It's hard to be the Pink Ranger and stray really far from it, but I don't mind the pink ranger tropes usually. x]

I'm actually not that familiar with the color tropes (other than Red is the leader, Pink is 'the girl'). I remember blue being the smart nerdy guy in the original MMPR, but since that doesn't seem to be the case this time, I intend Saya to be the smart member (oh no! Smart Asian trope!!)

Also, I'd like to add that I'm not trying to make Max a super perfect ultra mega badass gary stu, just a troubled teen with an interesting and painful past. If it ever comes off that way, PLEASE let me know, and I we can discuss it.

No worries, it's not a person's background that makes them one-dimensional, it's how they behave. I'm generally willing to give most characters the benefit of the doubt in the beginning (not that my opinion matters since I'm not the GM :P). But on that note, I hope Saya doesn't come off as a Mary Sue either.

I also completely forgot that Rangers should have some sort of fighting ability, which I totally didn't consider when making Saya. I'll edit my post so that she learned Judo (and archery) from her father.

EDIT

Sorry, the bow is Pink's weapon, Yellow's is twin daggers. I will make the change accordingly.

You could always have her learn how to fight as things progress. It'd be a great way to develop the character. They should all change in some way after becoming rangers after all...

OK, I'll wait for the GM's opinion on this. If nothing else I could always work it into her background later if necessary AKA RETCON
