[OOC] Horu Sentai Gemranger!

[pyroman]

Millions of years ago, a large asteroid collided with earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs. What nobody realized was that the asteroid housed an alien power unlike any other, granting the users amazing abilities. These powers were stored inside gems, looking very similar to the ones that we have on our planet.

The gems came from a dying planet, who hoped that the power of the gems would not be used by the evil that destroyed their planet.

The relatively small mining company Zerplus is well known for using advanced technology to mine further than normally possible. During recent mining trips, they came across five of several gems that seemed to be radiating energy. Because of the energy, the company decided that it was best to lock them up and keep them away until they could find a way to deal with the odd energy.

Over a small course of time, the waves of energy seemed to have died down from the gems, and the company believed that it was okay to bring them out of containment, allowing people who worked at Zerplus to see the gems is they wanted to.

What they didn't know was that the energy was acting as a beacon, calling out to other planets. The old evil that conquered the planet that the gems once belonged to woke up with because of the gems and set a course for earth, hoping to reclaim the power that slipped away from them.

I think that you all should know the basic, rules, so I won't be posting them here.

[Rin]

Going to just post what I have so far for now, even though it's not finished. ^^; Backstories are always the most difficult part to write.

• Name: Noriko Murasaki
• Age: 19
• Appearance: Rough sketch! Black hair, blue eyes and a purple jacket.
• Ranger color: Violet (well, purple, but violet sounds better)
• Weapon: Cannon/Bazooka

• Personality: Boisterous, funloving and very friendly, Noriko tries her best to act like a big sister to others (even those that are older than her), hoping that her confidence will rub off onto them. And she has a lot to rub off; no matter what the situation or how dire things may be, she will always remain convinced that she will come out on top eventually. This isn't arrogance, though, it's more that she just refuses to give up no matter what. If anything, her most notable character trait is her sheer, pigheaded stubborness. Noriko wears her heart on her sleeve and is very protective of those she cares about. She can be a bit of a tease, though, especially to her best friends, but it's all in good fun.

• Bio: Noriko is a relatively new employee of Zerplus, working part time as a security guard to help pay for her college bills. (WIP)

[The Irish Tree]

Should I bother making a CS if I'm going to be coming in later as the Aux? Or is the Aux character supposed to be there from the start and just eventually get the 6th gem?

[pyroman]

You can do it either way. It's just up to you if you want him or her to come in now or later.

[Duthguy]

Rin did you draw Noriko yourself? If so, good job.

CS:
Name: Iwao Mori
Age: 32
Appearance:

Iwao Mori

Ranger color: Green
Weapon: Tonfa's (link leads to wikipedia for those who don't know what Tonfa's are)
Personality: While Iwao is serious and hard working when on the job, in his free time he constantly goofs off and lazes around. Because he doesn't want anyone to know this, he keeps his work and private life strictly separate. To avoid his coworkers getting too close to him, he tries to act cold but polite. In reality though Iwao is friendly and easy going. Despite the fact that he is not the most confident in his fighting skills, he is naturally optimistic and determined to always finish what he started.
Bio: Fearing that Iwao's laziness would keep him from getting a good job, his parents always told him that goofing off was okay as long as you earned it. While Iwao took these these words to heart school never held his interest. So rather then going to college he started looking for jobs after graduating high school, eventually finding one as a Mix Truck Driver for Zerplus where he works to this day.

[Lost Cause]

OK, since I'm stuck and I know there's people who want my spot, I'm going to pull out.

[pyroman]

Nooooooo! We have a perfect six with you here, you can't leave!

But if don't want to do this, I guess I can't make you stay.

[Raineh Daze]

Um... well, I'm interested in joining.

[Rin]

Duthguy said

Yep, drew her myself. I got into the habit of drawing my own characters a while back, partially because I suck at written physical descriptions and could never find pictures that fit my mental image of what the characters should look like. ^^; And thank you, ahah. ^^; I try my best.

It's not that I didn't want to do it, it's that I didn't feel right taking up a spot with no idea what to do with it when I knew that other people wanted to join but couldn't.

Cool! Just make a cs and put it up when You're ready!

[pyroman]

Name: Kouta Takana
Age: 19
Appearance:
Ranger color: Red
Weapon: Sword
Personality: Kouta is a calm and happy person, who tries his best to make the best of things when they seem down. When alone or bored, he will occasionally sing or hum to himself, and if his guitar is around, he will play that. Like a child, he enjoys touching things, and usually needs to 'get a feel' of things before he can use them at their best. He loves his new job as the product tester, and takes if very seriously.
Bio: Kouta spends his time as the newest product tester for Zerplus, being the first person to get a hands-on experience with the new machines that they use for excavating. He received the offer from a friend of his who has another friend, who has one more friend that is in touch with the owner of the company. Through these connections, he was able to meet with the man himself, and was offered the job on the first interview.

The young man spent his childhood years with his parents and an older brother and sister, both of them three years ahead of him. He quite enjoyed playing music to himself. Despite believing himself to be good, he knew that he probably wouldn't make it big, so he didn't put his entire focus on music. He had other things like school and his future to think of, so those came first before his hobbies

[pyroman]

Hello?

[The Irish Tree]

Hello?

Hello hello, is there anybody in there?
Just shout if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at all?

Pink Floyd aside, I think that you should PM people who showed interest. And if nobody replies, then maybe contact Lost Cause since they did seem like they actually wanted to be in this.

[pyroman]

While Haruki seems to be active, Tachi hasn't been on since they posted their first bit of interest in this.

[Rin]

Last time I saw him, Tachi was still trying to figure stuff out for his character, but we'll see. ^^;

I'm still trying to figure out what to do backstorywise for Noriko. And I do intend to eventually try and draw up a suit design if that's okay but yeah.

[pyroman]

That's perfectly fine if you want to draw the suit for your character. I'd do that as well, but i suck at drawing, so I won't.

• Name: Yukimura Hikari


• Age: 24


• Appearance: Unusual hair colour for a Japanese girl.


• Ranger Colour: Gold


• Weapon: Whip


• Personality: Highly dedicated to helping people, and rather... overenthusiastic about it. Loudly so, which means she's never too hard to find. Sadly, she's also rather greedy, and though she tries to keep it under control, still tries to get something out of people she's helped. Because she's well aware this is a character flaw, Hikari is more likely to ask for food--preferably raw--even though she knows it would be better to ask for nothing.
  Raw because she can then cook it herself, and give something back whilst still getting to eat. Hikari gets rather... irritated when people decide to cook themselves; so far as she's concerned, nobody's cooking is superior. She's not exaggerating that much.


• Bio: A Christian all her life, Hikari got through high school, then went on to further education... in cooking food, before deciding that her true calling was as a member of the clergy. Since Japan's Christian population is remarkably low, this isn't exactly the best way to pay the bills, and thus her secondary job is working in Zerplus' kitchens.

It would be a bad idea to have her get a pimpcoat just to put on after transforming, wouldn't it?

[pyroman]

Everything is fine, but I can't say yes to the pimpcoat. Since she's gold, she already stands out like an Aux ranger (who's spot is already taken). You can keep the coloring if you want, even though it is a bit much, but if you stay gold, I can't let you use the coat.

[Raineh Daze]

It was a joke, based on appearance and weapon. XD
