@WindsOfFate Nice start to your character! Though, for his normal human form, would you be able to find a live action image to use? Once we all have our char sheets done, I want to use the images to create our own opening theme video, and it would look cooler if all the character images were real people instead of some being LA and some being drawings. XD
I’ve updated the picture. Let me know if it’s better.
Hmmm. So, I think it's safe to assume Duthguy is not coming back, so it looks like we'll start off with four Power Rangers (Me, Crimson, Forsythe, Gisk) and a sorcerer ally (Winds). Does anyone want to play a second character? I only want to play Tommy for now since I know I'll have the Purple Ranger as well down the road. If nothing else, we can say there are a few Nanosuits that haven't been bonded to a new host yet, similar to the Energems in Dino Charge.
A lot of the seasons did not start with a full team, I think we are okay to go. I don't want a second character now, but may have other idea for what to do with the extra suits later on >:D

You make a valid point :D.
Who knows, maybe one day a suit will accept Sa'Cha and meld with him in some weird magical techy way. IDK.
If you'd like, at first, we can say everyone believes a human who already has Mana sensitivity will be rejected by a Nanosuit if they attempt to bond, but at the climax of the first major story arc, Bandora and Goldar and a squad of monsters are overwhelming the Rangers, and the good guys are on the verge of defeat. During this part of the battle, Sa'Cha has to stay behind in the Command Center because Bandora is using a device to absorb various energies, and his Mana is extremely susceptible to that type of drain because the channels to expend that energy are so well-used. So, he knows that trying to aid in the battle will only strengthen Bandora further. He feels worthless in that fight, despite Zordon trying to reassure him, and then when he sees on the viewscreen that the Rangers are all about to die, Sa'Cha cries out, and suddenly, a Nanosuit responds and begins glowing.
"The Black Nanosuit has chosen you, Sa'Cha. Step forward and accept the responsibility and all that comes with it," Zordon explains after a moment of silence. He claims the power, and realizes that being bonded with the suit shields his Mana from being drained, and he's able to rush in and save the day.
I think you should stop spoiling and in general planning that far ahead, spoilers suck and plans don't survive anyway xD
Baha, it's not spoiling when we are all co-writers :D. I always plan out a loose story skeleton for my RPs, just to keep the pacing decent and to have an idea where the narrative flow is headed, but also to keep it malleable so that we can shape the overall story together. If everyone just starts posting with no overarching narrative thought out, the RP is doomed to become a chaotic mess and ultimately die. Although the exact details shift and flow as the RP unfolds, I usually like to have at least four or five story arcs planned out ahead of time so that I always have ideas where to point the narrative next. I absolutely hate writing myself into a corner, so there is always a lot of pre-planning thought out in anything creative I do, whether it is roleplays or novels or video games or videos XD.
Anyway, Winds, if you do go with that idea, I have a few suggestions for appearances. The default Nanosuit appearance could look similar to this:
But then he could fuse his Sorcerer suit and his Ranger suit together to look like a black version of this or something similar:
And then his Zord could look like this:
These are, of course, just ideas, and no need to decide right now since that part of the story would not come up for a bit.
I'm working on my character sheet and was deciding on final images, and I figured I'd share this for anyone still not sure what their Ranger suit looks like:
Feel free to use that for inspiration. I will be using the Green and eventually White for Tommy, and the Purple for Bandora's heir. Additionally, just to round out the starting team, I may go ahead and play a second Ranger for the time being. If I do, I am either considering a Red Ranger since Forsythe went with Copper, or perhaps a Gold Ranger or Silver Ranger so that we have more than one metallic suit. We'll see. For the time being, I'm just focusing on getting Tommy all set.
Could have like an Emerald or Jade ranger instead of Green if you want more exotic colors.
Yeah, I thought about seeing if everyone wanted to switch to material names instead of colors, but hadn't decided whether or not to suggest it. Emerald Ranger (Green), Ruby Ranger (Red), Amethyst Ranger (Purple), Star Sapphire Ranger (Pink), Cobalt Ranger (Blue), Obsidian Ranger (Black), Diamond Ranger (White), and then there could be five metallic ones - Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze, and Brass. This would bring the total to twelve Nanosuits, so that we'd have a large number on standby in case other people become interested in the RP as it unfolds.
What do you all think? If we do this, then I will probably change the title of the main RP thread to something like Power Rangers: Chimera Force or Power Rangers: Dragonwings or Power Rangers: Dragon Fury or Power Rangers: Nano Morphers.
Helia is a relatively average girl appearing a bit on the heavier side due to her hobbies, standing 168 cm tall and weighing just shy of 70 kilos. She however has a bit lower body fat percentage than is usual for her size and age, as she spends a lot of her time either training martial arts or hiking in nature. Her skin is on the paler side, and she has a bunch of smaller scars from falling a bit too often for her linking.
The girl's face is a bit angular, with prominent cheekbones and pointy chin. Her eyes seem to always have a glitter of mischievousness in them, as if she intended to pull the rug from under you or put a whoopie cushion on your seat at any moment. Whenever it is the least bit sunny, her freckles come out and cover her face. SHe cuts her hair short and styles it into a perfect mess.
Her wardrobe is a bit boyish, preferring garments with utility such as cargo pants, hiking boots and a vest full of pockets. There is always at least one swiss knife on her, and usually a couple of snacks and a first aid kit. Despite being fit, she usually slouches in her seat or leans against the wall.
History:
Helia's mother is a first generation greek immigrant. Her father was an american with irish roots reaching all the way back to the potato famine. She did not live in Angel Grove for most of her life, only relocating there for high school. This was caused by an unhappy situation in her family. Her father was killed in a gang shooting, being in a wrong place at a bad time. Her mother took this hard, succumbing to alcoholism, which lead to Helia being neglected at first, abused later, and money always being tight.
As such, Helia decided to spend as much time as she can away from the house. Her situation is better now that she makes a bit of her own money serving juice and cleaning at Ernie's as well as being more than able to stand up to her eternally drunk mother, and on weekends she spends her time outdoors either practicing martial arts to ensure no one hurts her ever again, or just enjoying nature, hiking and camping outside. Sometimes she can be found loitering around the city if there is nothing better to do, anything to stay away form home.
Combat: Grappling, kickbox, short blades Common: Survival, cooking, mending broken things
Equipment:
Basic: Solar flare gauntlets - The copper dragon ranger's primary weapons are armored gauntlets. They are capable of manipulating light, from flash-blinding enemies to absorbing incoming laser fire. The gauntlets can shapeshift to some degree, growing spikes and claws if needed for combat or scaling walls. Basic: Copper dragon armor - The copper dragon ranger's armor has increased maximum energy output compared to the others, sacrificing raw armor thickness in favor of generating an invisible, form fitting energy shield layer. This makes the copper ranger physically weaker than the other rangers, but the shield can regenerate while not taking damage, maximizing the copper ranger's durability in combat and restricting movement a little less. Basic: Dragonaut exosuit - The exosuit gives slightly tougher armor, but in general is focused on increased mobility and attack. The suit is space rated, and comes with two massive boosters in the leg parts capable of delivering it to orbit. The same boost can be applied to attacking, enabling roundhouse kicks that would make Chuck Norris jealous.
Upgrade: Solar prominence gauntlets - Upgraded gauntlets that gain the ability to project plasma blades and launch jets of plasma as a ranged attack. Upgrade: Phoenix down - A dagger that can focus the power of the Sun, causing searing cuts and being able to launch waves of hard light. Upgrade: Phoenix armor - Upgraded armor with improved power distribution, allowing it to reflect an energy attack with 25% chance, and to use the shield in an offensive area of effect burst that stuns and flash blinds anyone within three meter radius. Upgrade: Phoenix rising exosuit - This configuration of the exosuit is purely combat oriented, having a great balance of defense and offense. It is not the tankiest, nor the hardest hitting, but using the underlying armor's power distribution systems, it can outlast anyone in a fight.
Battlizer: Eclipse gauntlets - The gauntlets with their absorption potential maximized. The Bakunawa ranger can suck energy from incoming attacks, energetic or kinetic, to fuel themselves. Battlizer: Singularity shard - A short sword that seems to absorb light. It is controlled by the Bakunawa ranger psionically, as it is extremely heavy, to the point of being immovable by anyone else. It's ultimate attack is summoning a microsingularity that consumes a weakened enemy. Battlizer: Bakunawa armor - Armor with ultimate defensive capabilities. Maximized power output and user organism integration, allowing the wearer to temporarily boost their strength, agility, stamina, perception and healing. Battlizer: Engineering exosuit - A utility configuration that allows for repairs to advanced machinery, merging with and piloting Zordon's ship, and calling forth and deploying defensive towers launched by the ship.
