Does anyone want to continue? If so I will do my best with your help to keep this running.


You have my blessing :). Once I am finishing transferring my data (whatever I don't already have stored in Google Docs), I'll pass along GM permissions to you. I'm still going to be heavily immersed in this new Power Ranger continuity I've created, but my focus will be a fanfiction series that is completely separate from the RP. I'm going to post in on Archive Of Our Own later this month, once I've completed a few chapters.

Alright, so it looks like everyone is good to continue. Captain, I will step in and keep the story going. Everyone, I will need your help to make sure it continues to be a fun experience for all. With that being said, do you guys feel like we should open a slot or two up for new players now, or get our four continued in? Captain, do you want your characters to be NPC or how do you want that to go?

You can keep them as NPCs or adopt them as your own characters, it's your call. Alternatively, to give you guys more room, Bandora could kidnap Tommy and Shelby after taking control of Karone's body, but it's up to you. Then you could kill off my characters at a future time to create drama for the story. I had also been toying with the idea of having Andros return home from college to try and save his sister, and orchestrating this large subplot wherein he tries to purge the Red Nanosuit of Bandora and then bonds with it himself, but a shard of her essence remains, and ultimately he blows himself up to take her out, but then the Dai Shi are able to summon the remnants of Bandora's soul and grant her a new physical body that looks something like Maleficent's evil form with dragon horns and a tail. Feel free to adapt all or part of any of that if you wish.

Idea: In one older RP I did at different board, I opened up 'chapters' of it, each with a different subplot the individual players could run, and I kept tabs on yhe overarching plot and modified it according to what happened in the player run chapters. It worked well because for example when christmas rolled around, we plugged in a filler chapter that was impervious to someone not being able to post suddenly, and got back to serious story once everyone was somewhat available. The ability for a player to run their own subplot alao gave them greater ability to develop their character in a unique way if they so desired (for example If our rangers lose their powers, I am not too keen on the extraplanetary agventure and would rather Helia found the pai zhua school and got new powers through it. It is a thousandfold more fitting for her). Last but not least, it gave me as a GM some downtime to breathe when another player took over for a bit.

Does that sound like something you lit would be interested in?

Yeah, I could be down for that. I had an idea for a more mundane "antagonist" plot. Basically, Bruce is messing around with alien technology, and someone who's not in on the secret gets their hands on it(he puts some in his car, which gets impounded, for example).

Now the rangers need to get it back before someone discovers it, but they probably can't use their powers, or they'd further risk exposure.

EDIT: or, of course, they're seen as heroes and don't want to ruin their reputation by being caught breaking into an impound lot.

When the Rangers lose their power, I like the idea of each of them having their own journey they have to complete to connect with a greater power source. That way it is unique for each character.

I will do my best to make sure we all continue to have fun. I will adopt them as NPCs and use them for plot devices since they are close to the Rangers and they experienced a lot together. I may go a darker route, if that's okay, because while we all love Power Rangers, I always wanted them to go a little bit more adult. Granted not too much adult since our characters are young, but still, it'll be cool I think. Just send me a DM of how you planned everything out Captain and I will pull from it.

I can create a Discord if you all want that.

my experiences with discord are that it will inevitably draw attention away from posting and may spawn my longest 1x1 with the person I like the most when it causes the RP to fail, but I'll submit to the popular vote xD

Alright, so to counteract that, let's try to focus on group participation and not 1x1s. :)

Everyone, I have a discord server that can be used. The link is below. Please when you arrive, introduce yourself and I will give you the RolePlayer role so that you can see the discussion.

discord.gg/DruT6Qj

Please keep activity up both here on RPG and in the Discord. The Discord is there for quick discussion and whatnot, and RPG will be here for any new players and such. The IC will remain here on RPG. This is Casual, and as such it shall remain.

Okay everyone, I've added Winds as Co-GM, and I will also link my fanfic here once it goes live at the end of the month so that you guys can pull from it for story inspiration if you'd like. I've also given Winds permission to continue using my logo, as I am creating an updated one for the fanfic, which will be re-titled to Dragon Charge, and will feature the Energems as shards of the Zeo Crystal. In the fanfic, I am also re-envisioning the origins of Zordon and Bandora, instead having them be former citizens of Atlantis 10,000 years ago. Because the Dark Void exists on Earth and causes corruption issues when in close proximity to the Zeo Crystal, the Atlanteans decided to move the Zeo Crystal to Phaedos while relocating their civilization to the planet Eltar to escape the lingering Taint of the Dark Void.

Zordon, Bandora, and a handful of others remained behind to keep the Void Monsters at bay using the Energems. The gems were deliberately weakened to prevent any Void Corruption from spreading back to the Zeo Crystal, and in the end, they sacrificed themselves to chuck Bandora into the Void and seal it shut. Zordon's consciousness existed within his ship's AI, and he gathered the fallen Energems and hid the ship underground. Then, 10,000 years later, the teens discover the ship as they did in the RP and it unfolds from there.

To start, there will be only four teens present - Andros, Karone, Tommy, and Shelby. After Karone is taken over by Bandora, the other three - with Miss Morgan on comms in the Command Center - will be the only heroes in the first story arc. Karone takes the unbound Energems and tries to corrupt them, and at the end of the arc, a universal bonding process is triggered in which the unbound gems scatter out like Dragon Balls to find hosts. Thus, the second arc will be the heroes traveling the world looking for these new Rangers.

Figured I'd share my new logo here. I will post one final time to share the link to the fanfic once it's live, and then after that the thread will be closed, as Winds stated.

Okay, this will be my final post in this thread. Here is the link to the fanfic, right now only the first chapter is up, and it's mostly a revised edition of my intro post from the RP.
