[quote=@Olive Fontaine] Here's my submission to fill in as the Black ranger. [hider=Character CS] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Bue52Gml.jpeg[/img] [b][u][color=white][h2] Sey'riss Valashtk / Sarah Hopkins [/h2][/color][/u][/b][/center] [b][u][color=white]Species[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Varrigal [/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Gender[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Female [/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Age[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] 182 (roughly young adult for her species) [/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Ranger Color[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Black [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Ranger Weapon[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Her morpher can summon a bladed staff. It's long haft can be swung around for both offense and defense, but the tip is especially damaging. The staff is also capable of discharging a small energy blast at range. [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white] Human Appearance[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b]Sarah has long wavy hair with a bright platinum blonde color. She has fair skin and pretty features, but she tends to go around with a messy look and casual clothes. She has dull greenish eyes and often wears black.[/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white] Real Appearance[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] The varrigal are apex predators on their home world. They have a monstrous appearance with batlike wings and large claws, but that isn't why they are feared throughout the VXN quadrant. That would be because of their ability to shapeshift and perfectly mimic other creatures, making them dangerous spies and assassins.[/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Personality[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b]She has a very serious manner when going about her business, which has given her the reputation of being a cold-blooded woman. That's mostly because it's too dangerous to show weakness in her position. In truth, it was when she was lazing around and goofing off with her brother that she was most happy. But until he's found, she's on edge and worried about him. She might be difficult and snappy at times, and it's true that she can't seem to stay out of trouble. But Sey'riss is perceptive and capable. She could be a very dependable ally once befriended. 'Sarah' has been living on earth for a while now, and is starting to figure out how to get by. She seems for all the world like a gloomy hipster girl.[/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Skills[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b]Impersonation skills and a fiercely instinctual knack for battle. She is also moderately proficient with computers and starships like the one she used to travel to earth.[/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Powers[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b]Her previously mentioned shapeshifting is top-notch. It is very difficult to detect a member of her species in disguise, even with advanced equipment. So 'Sarah' does not use technology to create her persona. As a varrigal, she can partially revert to use the wings or claws of her original form if needed. [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Background[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b]The varrigal's home planet was well-suited to their kind, and starkly beautiful. But after so many millennia supporting her kind, its resources were no longer abundant. Members of her species were able to fetch a high price as bounty hunters, spies, or assassins. So, like many others, she left her homeworld to seek profitable employment in the galaxy's dark underworld. There were a lot of profits to be had, and Sey'riss certainly learned the nature of greed. But it was a difficult life, too, between the gangs that she'd crossed and the Velcon empire's enforcers on the other. She took on some questionable contracts, pushed herself to the bone, and even forgot who she was for a while there. But she wasn't completely alone. Wicked as their reputation may be, the varrigal are known to honor deep ties of kinship. In particular, she always kept in touch with her brother. In between jobs, they would often slum around together and spend ludicrous amounts of money on entertainment. But she hadn't heard from him in months. The last she heard, he'd gotten a job to hunt down a strange colorful group on planet Earth. The Power Rangers. Eventually, Sey'riss couldn't take the worrying anymore, and she decided to track down her brother herself. She saved up some money and took a starship to Earth. She's been living in disguise there for a little while, trying to track down the Power Rangers. She found many references to them, but unfortunately, the rangers hadn't showed their faces publicly in some time. It seemed that they, too, had gone missing. Just as her intel warned her, the Velcons were soon approaching earth with a forward attack. This could be her chance to find out more...
