I'm envisioning the suits looking like different colored versions of the one Tommy wore in the "Green Ranger VS Ryu" fan video, including the gold trim along the helmet.
I'll be playing a heavily modified version of Andros the Red Ranger and his younger sister, Karone/Astronema, though she won't come into play until later. At the start of the RP, she has been missing for years after Andros saw her abducted by an alien spacecraft, but of course no one believed him at the time. Feel free to adapt Rangers from any of the series or create your own original characters. Regardless of who you play, we're all teenagers attending high school in Angel Grove, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. We're on our Summer vacation a few weeks before our senior year is about to start, and as the RP opens, we're searching through a bunch of random junk that washed up on the beach after a recent earthquake dislodged an underwater dump site. Most of it is trash, but we do notice a small chest holding colorful crystals, which we eventually learn are Dragon Energems. We each find ourselves drawn to a specific color, and later that night we are teleported out of our beds onto a cloaked alien spaceship in orbit around Earth.
Onboard we meet Zordon, a cosmic wizard from the planet Eltar who is trapped within the ship's damaged Warp Core, his body stuck in a form of living energy. Sensors detected us bonding with the Energems, which pulled Zordon from a deep slumber. His friend and droid Alpha 5 used the ship's transporter system to teleport us onboard, and we learn that the Energems were created by cosmic beings known as the Dragon Masters in ancient times to empower the first team of Rangers. Long after the Dragon Masters ascended to a higher plane of existence, the Green Ranger Rita turned against the Red Ranger Zordon and their team. In the final battle, the other Rangers died, and Zordon managed to sacrifice himself to seal Rita inside a space dumpster. Yet somehow his essence remained as a form of living energy and he was sucked into the damaged Warp Core.
After Rita's betrayal and the death of his team, Zordon was reluctant to let the Energems fall into anyone else's hands, and so he chose a random planet with deep oceans (Earth) and had Alpha dump them into the water. They cloaked the ship, locked it into orbit around Earth, and both Zordon and Alpha entered a centuries-long slumber, only to be awakened when the earthquake brought the Energems to the surface where we bonded with them.
From here we'll just go with the flow, but obviously Rita will get free and we'll morph and fight her forces and so on. Oh, and if someone wants to play Zhane the Silver Ranger as Andros' best friend, that would be cool XD.
