Yes, I'm still here for this.
Does anyone want to continue? If so I will do my best with your help to keep this running.
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?
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?

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.

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
