Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

[Rin]

Well, if all else fails, we do need a Bulk and Skull stand-in. That is definitely something we're lacking at the moment.

[Demon Shinobi]

No, it's OK. I don't want people to have to bend over backwards to try and fit me into the game.

But thank you anyway.

@Lost Cause

OK, let me at least try and smooth things over.

I am not angry with anyone about this, or indeed do I put any blame on anyone at all. The problem was me neglecting to follow the thread closely enough, coupled with the fact I was offline when most of the serious movement happened. I'd rather not see people giving up their chance to be a part of this RP just so I can be involved, nor do I want the whole thing shaken up just to try and accommodate me. Because really demanding that people radically alter an RP or indeed any project to suit one person is quite frankly one of the most selfish things you can do in any creative endeavour.

So while I will definitely be following the game and hope that everyone involved enjoys it, that's why I'm stepping back into the shadows.

@Lost Cause

Well if you're sure. But feel free to watch, stick around and all that good stuff. I offered the more supporting role because my character, zordon'a son, probably won't be stepping into battle for some time. So even if I have alpha I wouldn't have minded another helping hand in the ship/command center.

<Snipped quote by Lost Cause>
If you want, I'll give up my spot as red. I do like the RP but I'm sure another will pop up (or I can even make my own). If you really want in, I'd be willing to step out.

@iVirgin

A noble sentiment, but I feel like it might have the opposite intended effect. Like nobody would want to be the reason for another player leaving or giving up their apot.

Still, thank you.

<Snipped quote by Demon Shinobi>

Thanks.

And no, it's not your bad. Don't put that on yourself.

@SoleAccord

And okay thanks lol guess I have a bad habit lol XD

@Rin

I don't think we really need them. Like in some mediums the characters are used well and fun like in the Boom! Studios comic run where they have there whole podcast and whatever. But if it's just throw away characters for comic relief and slapstick I think I'd rather settle for some organic humor at the right points. Even if it also includes awkward or slightly silly points here and there.

[Draconilian]

@Draconilian

I'll add it to my extensively long list of stuff too watch. Anywho guys, I should have an ooc up sometime either Friday or Saturday. I won't give a time or say tomorrow/today for right now because timzones. But for me it's technically Friday, 1:42am. Imma sleep. And hopefully have some kind of concrete lore and ooc post for you guys. Start thinking about the basics of your characters, as once I get the ooc up I'll be adding in the character sheet. Haven't made it yet, but you know lol.

Side note, if there is anything that you think should be added to the ooc or the cs, please suggest now as it'll be easier to fit everything in altogether rather than edit over and over.

Otherwise, you guys are all great. I'm looking forward to roleplaying with everyone and imma do my best to be a proper and reliable gm for you.

[SoleAccord]

Looking forward to getting started.

Could you do the template first and show us what it'll look like as you work on the main OOC? I'd like to get to work ASAP, before my inspiration for this character in my head wavers. <3

[Demon Shinobi]

Okay so, for reasons explained in a Pm which shall not be divulged @iVirgin has decided to bow out of the RP. For this reason the red ranger position will be open should @Lost Cause wish to take it up. Otherwise, I will still be working on the OOC. As for the template, since you have been so helpful to me @SoleAccord I'll put it here. You guys can get started, and i'll try to get the OOC up asap. Some things are no brainers. Some I want you to put your best into. Have fun.

Character Sheet

~Appearance~
A description are not necessary, however, there are things any one face claim cannot convey by itself. So, things such as height, weight, birthmarks, tattoos, scars, etc. should be considered and described so that we have a better idea of you're characters appearance in full.
Name:
Age:
Birthday:
Gender:
Ranger Color:
Zord:
Likes: Everybody has stuff they like.
Dislikes: Everybody has stuff they dislike.
Strengths: Okay I feel I shouldn't have to explain this, but you know. As a person, as a ranger, what makes you valuable to the team. These are not powers.
Weaknesses: Again... Even though we're technically superheroes, we are power rangers, we are human. So yeah that stuff applies, but what about you is different. Fears, trauma, etc.
Skills: Unlike strengths, which may occasionally be talent or instinctive or things that cannot be practiced such as experience, etc. Skills are things you might be able to do others can't. Specific martial arts, automotive skills, computer or other scientific skills. Obviously, being a teengager you're not gonna be like a pro in very many areas, or a master, or whatever else.
Unique trait: Each ranger, for the RP, as it has been in various other incarnations of the rangers will have a unique trait. What is yours?
Personality: For some, this is tough. So, while I won't make it optional, I'll give you the chance to keep it short and sweet. A list of traits, or a couple sentences.
History: Alright, this is the big one. Maybe you don't have a full backstory. Maybe you don't want to give every little detail. No everyone will be childhood friends or even know each other. Not everyone will have been in Angel Grove for all their lives. What is your story?
Other: Did I forget something you think should be including. Make your own little category following this point. Otherwise, may the power protect you.

[SoleAccord]

Wow, that sucks. He asked some questions and seemed genuinely interested in being Red. A shame he suddenly can't do this anymore. Hope he finds some way of fulfilling that nostalgia itch.

Thank you for the template. I work weekends, but I'll be working to get it finished as soon as I am able.

@SoleAccord

Hey dude I got work and school too. So take your time lol. I'm in no rush.

[SoleAccord]

Hey, would you mind giving an example of a trait for us? That part is throwing me off, since it sounds like another type of name for skills or strengths.

[Rin]

So @Lost Cause decided that the position of Red was a bit too much pressure, so after a little discussion we decided to swap around so she is now taking Pink and I'm taking Red. Hope that's okay, and will try to get to work on this character soon-ish.

@SoleAccord

It's a lot simpler than you're making it. Think like a special power granted by becoming a ranger. Like in dinothunder, or spd. Don't over think it. This isn't a necessary thing I just thought it was a cool point that a lot of ranger incarnations has.

Specifics examples include: Ethan's scales in dinothunder, or jack's phasing in spd.

Like I said this isn't necessary, I just thought it was cool. And also a unique traitor doesn't have to be a physical thing. But that is something that separates it from a normal skill or strength.

@Rin

I don't mind who is what. If somebody worries over pressure of being red I will help lol, although he won't be leading first hand or stuff like that my character will be at your disposal as support from the command center/ship until he joins the fray in the field so worry not friends. And I'm shooting for tonight

[SoleAccord]

I THOUGHT that was what you were talking about, but since this sort of thing didn't really apply until Dino Thunder, I didn't believe it was what you meant.

Thanks for clarifying @Demon Shinobi

[Demon Shinobi]

@SoleAccordi just felt it was a cool thing and addition to the mythos, and still applicable to this since when you think about it, Dino thunder is set in the same continuity. I mean most if not all are to a point, but still. I use Dino thunder and spd specifically because... well... tommy Oliver lol

[SoleAccord]

And not only that, but the Power Coins were the predecessors to the Dino Gems anyway. It's AU so I don't mind this at all!

Would a passive trait be acceptable compared to an active one? Like, say instead of having something like Ethan's Iron Skin ability, I could give my character something that just increased his tolerance to pain or something? @Demon Shinobi

[Demon Shinobi]

@SoleAccordthats totally fine lol like I said it's optional, but even if you want to, it doesn't have to be offensive or active. Say somebody just gotten a heightened tolerance or immunity to poisons or something. Just an example but still. All I ask is it atay in line with the character and ranger/theme of the ranger. I.e. Let it make sense

[Demon Shinobi]

Oh, also, I don't care if anybody uses drawn, anime or "real" pictures for their character. I typically use drawn and am trying to steer away from straight anime. I can just never do the whole real/live action picture thing lol never fits with me XD

No stipulations on you guys. Just something I wanted to say.

[Suku]

@Demon Shinobiso we going to stick with the originals or going to move on later if we get that far to the thunderzords and the ninjazords?

[ShatteredZeroxk]

@Demon Shinobi Alright, throwing my change into the mix as0 a possible sub for any ranger spots that need filling for a time. Though I was curious if the green ranger would swap into the White ranger or not. If not, I'd be happy to take it when the time comes.

@Suku

For now, if we get that far we'll probably move on as necessary. but until that point, dinozords.

@ShatteredZeroxk

Alright I'll give you a heads up if anything. And as of now I'm basically treating white and green as two different rangers. So overall by the end we should have like 6-7 rangers.
