I'll create some more tomorrow once my credits refresh LOL. And if anyone else has any AI credits they want to use, I was using stuff like "dragon samurai power rangers" and "dragon ninja power rangers" for prompts. Feel free to throw up any images you think would look good for team ranger suits and zord ideas.

So catching up on the posts as working all day today.

I think different colours suits with the gold trim going on is cool, I do like that pic with the dragons on the background. kinda like a dragon/samurai look. giving them a bit of an armoured feel would be cool as it would make it look like we can take hits and probs look awesome! haha.

As for zords, i do see the pros for both ideas. but I do worry on the roleplaying the fighting scenes when all connected like a megazord could make it difficult to do? not sure my fighting experience in RP's is not overly massive. magically turning into a dragon does sound pretty epic and even if they are mechanised i think it could work either way. maybe the zords can make use of our powers? so like even if they dont go all megazord, they could still effectively fight as a team attacking on multiple fronts? or even maybe sentiant and able to fight independantly from us if we are fighting on the ground ourselves? or am I over complicating all that, if so my bad.


Realize I forgot to answer this post LOL. Yeah, I really like that armored samurai one too, so I think we should use that as the default look unless we find something better in the next few days. And Crimson said he loves the skirt look on them all too XD. As for the Zords, yeah, I think the biggest issue with the idea of a Megazord would be effectively controlling it, unless we just save it for like a finisher move and then I can just write a scene of our Zords coming together and finishing off the baddie.

One idea is for us to summon the Dragon Zords, ride them, and then maybe fuse with them similar to the Red Ranger Battlizer from Mystic Force.

What about Dark Rangers? Or other villains?

And I do see that Black is available!

I do have ideas for Dark Rangers and other villains, but figured we can just go with the flow and then I'll introduce more baddies as necessary. And yeah, if you'd like to be the Black Ranger, go right ahead! Any ideas for powerset?

Oh, and I forgot to ask - I had mentioned our characters were all at the end of their Summer vacation before senior year, but noticed some of them are only 16, and I was wondering if you'd rather say they are a year behind the others or that they skipped ahead a year at some point? And I noticed Ryan McPhee will be the oldest of our group if he turns 18 on September 5th XD.

I think it makes sense for Olivia to be a year behind the older rangers

Are we the first rangers in this universe or have there been others?

The first modern Rangers, yeah. The team before us was Zordon's team that Rita betrayed.

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.

@CaptainManbeard

I'm always willing to be a villain, so let me know if you'd like some help with brainstorming for them! C':

And for power, I'm not completely sure just yet. I've got some ideas, but they're all half baked atm.

Edit: I'll get started on the cs sometime tonight.

@Crimson Flame

It's fine! I think I would have been more upset if pink had been a girl, tbh lol. Franchise is so damn color = gender coded lmfao

I do like black as well, cause gothnotagoth kid. p:

They actually had a male Pink Ranger in one of the Super Sentai series that wasn't adapted for Power Rangers.

Also, fun fact, Trini doesn't have a skirt like Kimberly in the original Power Rangers because in the footage adapted, the Yellow Ranger is actually a guy LOL.

Exactly, I join nearly every Power Rangers RP I come across with a male Pink Ranger for this reason. xD

there was a male Pink Ranger in a comic But the line “he’s not happy about it” bothers me. You’re never going to see a Red Ranger not he happy to be Red.

Also, fun fact, Trini doesn't have a skirt like Kimberly in the original Power Rangers because in the footage adapted, the Yellow Ranger is actually a guy LOL.


That explains it.

Yep MMPR also realized that having a Asian Yellow Ranger and a Black kid as the Black Ranger probably wasn't the smartest move, so when Trini and Zach left the Black Ranger Adam was played by Johnny Yong Bosch who is half Korean and the second Yellow Ranger Aisha was played by the Black Karan Ashley

So about the RP itself. Let’s talk about our shared history. :D

How did they all meet/become friends? What’s the dynamics like? What do the others think of each other?

I'm aware of Super Sentai, but not nearly as much as the adapted version. Still though, I can't imagine an American audience accepting a male pink ranger, without the "hates this color" bit.

But I do know about Trini! She died too early, omg. I'm so glad they gave her a proper send off with the special 🙌🙏

Either way, I should watch more Super Sentai, if only to help me learn the language more. Been slacking lately lol

@Crimson Flame

Fr tho. Im hoping one day nonbinary characters will appear too, but until then that's what rping and fanfics are for, lol

How did I not remember there's a comic? Jeez, I can't keep up with all the lore.

Well, my initial thought was they they were all friends in the same grade like the original PR, but since we'll have them in at least two different grades, we could say they all met at one of Ryan's Drag Story Hours or maybe a Pride Parade or at the Angel Grove Youth Center or something. I still have to finish their bios, but Tommy and Eddie have been best friends ever since they got partnered together on a science fair project back in fifth grade. If anyone wants to have their characters be part of that initial friendship, feel free to thread them into that science fair somehow.
