[OOC] Power Rangers: Dragon Fury

[CaptainManbeard]

Me too! The image search is taking longer than expected though, haha. But the visual flare from the images will make the intro post so much better XD.

[CaptainManbeard]

In the meantime, feel free to check out one of my old RPs to get an idea of how my posts tend to look. My boy Crimson was actually in this one too, though I got caught up with real life at the time and had to drop the RP:

Baha I just spent waaaay more time than I am willing to admit trying to sing an opening song for the RP, but no matter how I tried to auto-tune it and get it to sound half-way decent, I couldn't stop hating it, LOL. I wrote my own lyrics set to an instrumental version of the Dino Charge theme:

Power Rangers! Power Rangers! Power Rangers! Power Rangers!

In a world that seems tame!
Destiny awaits your claim!
It beckons when the ground begins to quake!
Now we must claim the power!
We can't falter or cower!
Stand tall and fight for the planet's sake!

Go Go Power Rangers!
Through the skies, we will soar!
Go Go Power Rangers!
Like the dragons, hear us roar!
Rangers Forever! Dragon Fury! All together now!

Power Rangers! Power Rangers!

Power Rangers Dragon Fury!

Bah. Anyway, back to writing the intro post. I can't believe it's fucking 3:00AM already.

[CaptainManbeard]

I decided to upload the theme even with my horrible vocals, hahaha. You probably shouldn't listen though - seriously, your ears will bleed LOL.

So, orig Rita had Finster to mold monsters out of clay. Thoughts on where our Bandora gets her goons?

@Forsythe

Mostly from earth-type materials. For instance, in their first encounter, she uses the loose rocks in the cave. I hunted down images for a lot of her summoned monsters to provide visual references XD. Also, I updated part of the sheets for Shelby and Karone, mostly just to make sure I had everything formatted right. Finishing up the other stuff shortly.

[Forsythe]

I've been toying with the thought of also playing a general type villain, if that would be something worth doing? Kind of a goldar or Camille type, somehow hibernating somewhere since the last war.

@Forsythe

Well, one of the first major story arcs I was planning was Zordon sending the Rangers to Egypt to thwart Bandora's attempts to resurrect Gollun-Ra, which is my version of Goldar. However, he is only one of her four generals, sort of like the Four Horseman to Apocalypse. I haven't decided yet who the other three are or where they are slumbering, so feel free to use a slot to craft your villain for that if you'd like. That goes for everyone else, too - if you have an idea for a villain you'd like to play and want them to be one of Bandora's generals, drop me a PM with your ideas XD.

[CaptainManbeard]

Speaking of Goldar, here's a HILARIOUS scene from when his Japanese counterpart, Grifforzer, trashes his wife, hahahaha!

ICONIC!!!!

[Rekker]

Think we'll be going live today or do you anticipate that it may be a while? No rush, just trying to guage if I need to check back often before tonight's festivities.

[CaptainManbeard]

Oh yeah, we'll definitely be going live today, I just keep allowing myself to get distracted with other stuff. I have like at least a dozen tabs open right now with different image search terms, lol. The main one I'm working on now is trying to find what kind of ice weapon I want to use for Shelby. The silver dragon her suit scanned was an ice dragon, and she also scanned a mermaid and a metal golem, so her other powers are hydrokinesis and metallokinesis in addition to her main cryokinesis. I want to give her ice wand type weapons that fire freezing bolts and then a giant ass ice sword, hehe.

Sorry it's taking so long for me to finish everything, I'll put the image search on hold for now and just focus on getting the intro post done and up, and then I'll go back to work on my character sheets.

[CaptainManbeard]

Crap, I accidentally saved the intro post before I completed my final proofread. Oh well, it's live now, if you see any typos, I'll correct them shortly. I rewrote it several times because I felt like I was cramming too much info in and decided to cut it back significantly, and I am quite pleased with the result. I laughed out loud a few times writing it XD.

[CaptainManbeard]

I didn't mention most of your characters in the intro post, but feel free to write them as having been present for everything that occurred and whatever else you want to include. After everyone has posted, I will transition the story to the Museum in my subsequent post, and then we'll go from there. If we decide it's best to keep it moving quickly, then in my third post, I'll get us to the caves and end it with the earthquake.

@WindsOfFate Can I assume Sa’cha is sitting in the same seat as Finn?

[Rekker]

Good post, @CaptainManbeard! Going to start writing now. Worst case, should be up no later than tomorrow morning.

[WindsOfFate]

@WindsOfFate Can I assume Sa’cha is sitting in the same seat as Finn?

@Crimson Flame

Sure, I don't see why not, and they can chat about whatever, even though Sa'Cha is still too nervous to ask him out yet.

@Rekker@WindsOfFate Great posts, guys! Though I did want to clarify something since the posts incorrectly hint that normal school is in session - the actual legitimate school year has not started yet, and I realize I did not specify in the IC that it's a Summer program they are part of in the weeks leading up to the start of the Fall term. I did mention a "Summer sky," but in some areas school has started by then, so it's understandable that such a thing needs further clarification.

That being said, no revisions are necessary to your posts, we can assume they've been in Summer School for a while, but I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention before anyone else posts, and I will go back and edit the intro to specify the exact nature of the program :).

[CaptainManbeard]

@Gisk Nice post! But one of your color tags is broken, lol.

Also, I've made some updates to Tommy and uploaded everything for Shelby and Karone save for the bios, which I'm still working on. It took me for-fucking-ever to find images I was happy with for everything, lol.

@CaptainManbeard

My post was mentioning when Sa'Cha first arrived at Angel Grove in the last semester of everyone's Junior year. Most schools have a fall semester that starts in August and then ends in December, then the spring semester that begins in January and ends before Summer Break. Sa'Cha arrived in January at Angel Grove and that's when he started to meet everyone. Everyone has known Sa'Cha for however long the Spring Semester is, which is why he can recall certain things that happened during the Spring Semester while he was there. That's why he has two friends, Andrew and Michelle, who protect him for some odd reason. He decided to tag along after orders from Udonna, and also because Andrew begged him and told him Finn was going.
