[OOC] Power Rangers Dragon Morphers

[CaptainManbeard]

Working on finalizing CS and intro post now.

[CaptainManbeard]

Intro post is up. Just write your characters' responses to finding the crystals and anything else you want to add into your intro posts, and then we can roll from there. I figure we can have a few back and forth posts to establish our characters' personalities and then we can jump to the abduction scene where they are beamed onboard Zordon's ship. Also, I didn't detail my characters actually feeling any power from the Energems yet because I figured we should save that for when they Morph for the first time.

[Duthguy]

@CaptainManbeard As I said I will make a second character if necessary. I do have a question though what do you mean with voice in the cs?

Green Ranger WIP

Olivia Bosch


Age: 16
Birthday:July 12
Height: 1.78cm/5'10
Body Type:
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black
Pronouns: She/Her
Orientation: Bi
Personality: While Olivia is a tomboy she does have some traditional "girly" interests, mainly dancing and baking. She also is a bit of a nerd and enjoys playing jrpg's and some free mobile games if she has nothing else to do for a few minutes. She doesn't really care what others think of her and in turn tries not to judge people. Unfortunately she has a tendency to hold grudges to anyone who intentionally wrongs her.

Olivia is generous to her friends, often sharing her homemade baked goods with them but feels awkward being gifted something herself.

She doesn't do too well at school because she is more of a physical learner. In fact she is bad at doing in nothing in general but she can also spend hours doing something she enjoys.

Biography Olivia grew up living above her parents' bakery, which meant that despite both of them working it wasn't too hard for them to find time to spend with her. She developed her own interest in baking as a young child by "helping" her parents in the bakery with simple tasks. Of course having a six year old near giant ovens isn't a great idea and Olivia ended up with a burn on her hand, the scar still slightly visible to this day. As a result her parents banned her from the kitchen for a few years until she was old and responsible enough to be safe.

At first Olivia hated not being able to help her parents and just sulked in her room after school but eventually she developed other interests. She discovered jrpg's when coming across a let's play and she convinced her parents to buy her a game console.

@Duthguy A bit similar to another RP i was in, the Voice is like what does your character sound like?

@Damo021

Yeah, what Damo said. It basically gives everyone an idea what your character sounds like and their tone/personality when speaking. However, it's not mandatory, so feel free to skip it if you'd rather just rely on imagination XD.

[Damo021]

They look good! Also, for the Ranger Suits, I think it would be best for us to each have more control over how our characters look instead of having to make them all be simple recolor carbon copies of each other, but what do you all think?

[Crimson Flame]

@Damo021 Cleo D’nile huh? I take it you’re a Monster High fan?

@CaptainManbeard

Yes.

Ryan is going to have the skirt on his ranger suit.

[Damo021]

@Crimson Flame Actually I have not watched that yet lol

@CaptainManbeard

I don't mind if they are all re-colours of the suit if it makes it easier, or more unified team look. I do have some pictures i found for my suits. so I am happy either way. :)

[Crimson Flame]

I collect the dolls. 👀

[CaptainManbeard]

Here's an idea for a unified look:

And for Zords we could either transform into actual flying dragons or we could have dragon robots we pilot traditionally.
Or we could just say the suits look like different colored version of the Tokusatsu Suit from Spider-Man 2. Like, in our imaginations, each Ranger would have the stripes be their color instead of red.


Or we could just each create our own suits however we want. I'm cool with whatever you guys want.

I prefer the more unified suit look myself, and like both your suggestions. I don't really care about how we handle Zords and am fine with either transforming into dragons or summoning dragon robots

[Crimson Flame]

I don’t like the Tokusatsu Suit because I prefer the suits being fully color, not black with colored lines. I do like the picture though because all of them have a skirt. Take that gender norms!

Part of me likes transforming into actual dragons, because that’s more magical, but that’s gonna be real awkward for the kids. And are we going to fuse together to become the equivalent of a Megazord? Or would the Megazord not be a thing in that case?

@Crimson Flame

I think we can probably skip having a Megazord because that would be hard to write for combat scenes if there is one body being controlled by multiple players. But what do you all think? Oh and some more images for ideas:

@CaptainManbeard

Is that a green Loki ranger?

Personally I like the idea of a megazord but I can see how that would be hard to rp.

My cs is completed, is Olivia okay?

@Duthguy

I think it's a Loki Spider-Man lol. And yeah, Olivia looks good, feel free to put her up in the CS thread. So, for the suits, should we go with the traditional tights, or go for an armored look? Either way, I'm thinking the suits could be made from Grid Energy that wraps around our bodies and then shifts into the suits.

[Damo021]

So catching up on the posts as working all day today.

I think different colours suits with the gold trim going on is cool, I do like that pic with the dragons on the background. kinda like a dragon/samurai look. giving them a bit of an armoured feel would be cool as it would make it look like we can take hits and probs look awesome! haha.

As for zords, i do see the pros for both ideas. but I do worry on the roleplaying the fighting scenes when all connected like a megazord could make it difficult to do? not sure my fighting experience in RP's is not overly massive. magically turning into a dragon does sound pretty epic and even if they are mechanised i think it could work either way. maybe the zords can make use of our powers? so like even if they dont go all megazord, they could still effectively fight as a team attacking on multiple fronts? or even maybe sentiant and able to fight independantly from us if we are fighting on the ground ourselves? or am I over complicating all that, if so my bad.

[CaptainManbeard]

I'm throwing together a folder on Imgur of various ideas, figured I'd just throw a link here and you guys can check it out and see what you think. https://imgur.com/a/QRtS1dJ
