[OOC] Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

[Forsythe]

Story wise i'd say no, game staying alive wise I say get everyone you can. We'll work them in somehow. You could just say that Tommy didn't find enough 'worthy' candidates to give all the suits out.

Or perhaps there was a second ship and someone else unearth it and the AI Demetria. Or something.

@Forsythe

I meant for the starting group, meaning the ones who are at Amber Beach when the earthquake sends them falling into the tunnel system where Zordon's ship is. Perhaps I should have worded it better, lol. In other words, should we hold off to try and get more people in that starting group, or should we put a cap on it temporarily and say that any new Rangers don't enter the story until after the Amber Beach incident?

[Forsythe]

Menthinks we okay for right now.

[CaptainManbeard]

Okay, cool. So later today I'll update the 0th post to say that our starting group is complete but that we are always accepting new requests for additional future Rangers.

[Crimson Flame]

Wasn’t Rekker going to submit a character?

@Crimson Flame

Yeah, I'll make sure to specify the "starting group" refers to anyone who has expressed interest up until that moment. XD

Fun anecdote, I was all over the internet yesterday looking at pictures of Haley Joel Osment, and today I'm talking to a coworker about child actors in horror movie and I went and said "What about that kid in the sixth sense? Who played him, hurr durr?"

[CaptainManbeard]

Bahahaha! Fun fact, he's also in season two of the Boys. And he was originally a favorite to play Harry Potter before Chris Columbus revealed he was sticking exclusively to British cast members.

But to actually contribute:

I reckon we start as is. We can always come up with excuses to add more people.

Another idea: perhaps Zordon can make more nanosuits, but it requires something. Maybe two or more of the Rangers have to "donate" part of theirs. I imagine the suits are capable of self repair, so if they donate some of their nanites, they'll be weakened temporarily, while a new suit "grows" in its own capsule.

EDIT: we would need to bake in some kind of excuse for why he hasn't just been making spares. Maybe it needs a sentient being to bond with before it can grow and/or repair?

@Gisk

Some of that will come to light when Zordon explains how the power works. The process melds a few different aspects from PR lore, such as Zeo Crystals and my own homebrew version of the Morphin Grid. I'm still ironing out the bugs, but I'll present it in a fully-fleshed out manner in the story posts. Shelby will be extremely curious how everything works :D.

[Forsythe]

Xcom makes for something nano-armor like.

[CaptainManbeard]

Hey, can anyone here sing by chance? I found an instrumental version of the Jungle Fury opening, and would love to find someone to provide custom vocals for Dragon Fury, lol.

Jungle Fury Instrumental (except for initial "Power Rangers!" call-out

[CaptainManbeard]

Baha, I was checking out Cameo and thought about making a request to Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan and be like, "Yo can you sing a custom opening for our Power Rangers RP?" LOL!

[WindsOfFate]

Wait, Captain.

Sa'Cha is going to witness the Rangers get their suits and report back to Udonna? How are we playing that part out? He's going to be at the bake sale as well flirting with Finn and minding his business as instructed.

@WindsOfFate

Well, he could fall with them into the tunnels. Since the ship is underground, he'd need to be there to witness it, unless he senses the energy from up on the surface.

[CaptainManbeard]

@WindsOfFate Actually, it might just be easier to have Sa'Cha be a full Ranger from the beginning like everyone else. You could choose an actual Ranger-like appearance for him, and he could change between his Sorcerer and Ranger look or fuse them together for a temporary power up. That way he's a full member of the Ranger team right from the beginning.

[CaptainManbeard]

@WindsOfFate Like here's an option for his suit where you could say five magical amulets are fused to his chest. Perhaps the original bearer of the Black Obsidian Dragon Nanosuit was the primary sorcerer of the team.

@CaptainManbeard

So, do I need to change the picture in his profile cause I'm slightly confused, but I'll get over it.

@WindsOfFate

No, you don't need to change anything about the existing information, I just meant adding Ranger-specific stuff to what's already there. Alternatively, if you don't want him to be a Ranger at first, he could still be there when they find Zordon's ship but he doesn't get bonded to a Nanosuit. I only suggested otherwise so that he wouldn't be the only one present to not be chosen by a suit.

That's of course assuming you want him to be underground with them to directly observe them getting the suits. Like I said, you can also just have him sense the energy from back up on the surface.

Okay, cool. I think I found one I like.
