Power Rangers: Ascension iCheck

[Omega Man]

Zordon, an alien White Ranger from another time and galaxy, crash landed on Earth after imprisoning Rita Repulsa and her minions on the moon one hundred years ago in the year 1915. Aging more rapidly on Earth, Zordon's robotic assistant Alpha 5 helped to preserve his essence within the technology of their crashed ship/HQ. A routine moon landing in 2015 saw the release of Rita and her goons and soon a battle for the planet had begun. Zordon chose five teenagers to fight for the fate of the world against Rita and her forces. Now, two years after becoming Rangers it's time for them to ascend. The first of us to rise to another level of power will become the Dragon Ranger. From that point it'll get really interesting. The Blue Ranger can ascend to either Unicorn or Pegasus, the Yellow can become Griffin or Qilin, the Pink can become the Firebird, and Black the Lion. This is loosely based on what they get in terms of Thunder Zords. In that era the Red Ranger got the Red Dragon Thunderzord, however if the Red doesn't ascend to the Dragon they get whatever options the Ranger would've had who does become the Dragon. So potentially we could have a Red Lion, a Black Dragon, a Blue Pegasus...

This cuts out the Green Ranger and the White Ranger. I know that's gonna bum somebody out but the idea any color Ranger can become the Dragon Ranger and be the heavy hitter is a lot more interesting from my point of view. The CS for this will be a bit different than most of my other RPs, and you also get to add your own favorite villains into the mix.

Also, obviously the Red Ranger and Yellow Rangers' genders don't have to be switched. Though I do ask whoever goes with Pink remains a female. The last male Pink Ranger was underwhelming. Also, depending on who I choose to become the Dragon, whomever is the Red Ranger would have to take one for the team and be whatever the Ranger who becomes the Dragon would've had. I'll take the Red spot if need be, though the Dragon could be seen as the new leader and not just the big gun of the team if the player wants. The Blue Ranger and the Yellow Ranger also get special treatment since the American versions differed from the Sentei. Blue can become either Unicorn or Pegasus, and Yellow can become the Griffin or Qilin.

Character Sheets MUST include:

Age -
Wanna Be the Dragon - [Yes or No?]
Personality -
Background/Brief Bio -
Villain of Choice - [ANY era Power Rangers villain]
Notes -

Rita Repulsa will be around the Rangers' age in terms of maturity even if she's a few hundred years old. I always imagined her looking more like this:

Her putties will also resemble a version of an old Batman enemy called Clayface. They'll be more monstrous and able to shape their appendages into weapons:

The broader theme of the series will be somewhere in the middle between the classic show and that more graphic fanfilm that's got James Van Der Beek as the badguy. There will probably be less focus on the Zords until we ascend. I always thought it was odd these kids were in school one minute and the next they were piloting skyscraper sized robots without training?!? When we get the Zords I URL'ed up top, that's when we'll fight giants. Looking for just four more players to round out the cast and get things moving!

Hero

Name: Valeria Valentine

Color: Red

Age: 19

Wanna Be the Dragon: No

Personality: Very aggressive and domineering. Valeria treats most things as a competition and really, really doesn't like losing. Usually her friendships develop into some form of healthy rivalry, though there are a couple of notable exceptions.

Background/Brief Bio: A skilled athlete from a young age, Valeria always excelled at sports and trained her hardest in any sort of competitive setting. From middle to high school she competed on both the soccer and rugby teams, honing her skills with an unmatched diligence. In terms of martial arts she pursued an education in muay thai, combining it with her knowledge of rugby take-downs.

Notes:None.

Villain

Villain of Choice



Name: Weaponmaster Sigma

Place in the Hierarchy: Fearless second or third, probably vying with the other villains for notoriety.

Personality: Rita's stalwart second and a mastery of many weapons he's a frequent enemy commander often seen leading the charge against the rangers with his own brand of multiple, personalized weapons (melee and blaster).

Putting up a tentative character sheet to express interest. Will be edited later with more information.

[Omega Man]

Every bit of that looks good. I may go for a male Yellow Ranger... but I also dig the idea of a Black Dragon Ranger LOL

~KL~

[Izaka Sazaka]

@The Kid Lantern

I didn't go for the Dragon Ranger slot because I personally think it would be more interesting for one of the other members of the team to pick it up, allowing for a sort of mid-season dynamic shift where they either take up co-leadership of the team or succeed the Red Ranger as the leader. All of that is just plot speculation/random planning though. Your thoughts?

[Omega Man]

Yeah with the Zords taking a backseat, with whomever getting the more snake like Dragon Thunderzord when they ascend first among us... they get that so they can go into the Zord's warrior mode and defeat the giant threats until the rest of us ascend to form the final Thunder Megazord. It can take the rest of us any amount of time to ascend. Not making it all happen at once is the main plot twist, and nobody really having Zord experience.



It'll just kinda come naturally with the Dragon Ranger and having a Warrior mode.



Screw it, I'm gonna go ahead and start working up a sheet for the Black Ranger and shoot for Dragon if nobody else wants it.

[Omega Man]

Name - Adam Li



Color - Black
Age - 19
Wanna Be the Dragon - Yes
Personality - calm, stoic, honorable

Background/Brief Bio - Adam traveled a bit as an Army brat, his father having met his mother while he was stationed over seas. Upon returning to America, namely Angel Falls, Adam found himself as well as four others in the secret location of the elder Zordon. Being a Ranger was the best thing that ever happened for Adam, finally stepping out of his father's shadow and becoming his own man. On his 18th birthday, after being a Ranger for a year he started thinking about getting a tattoo but hasn't yet. He's very strong willed, and a skilled gymnast and martial artist. He began sketching Dragonball Z characters a lot in school in Korea, and is a big fan of anime and manga in general. He generally doesn't let his nerd side show and usually keeps to himself.

Villain of Choice -

Deadwood. Cool name, ghost powers AND plant powers. Can't contain how awesome that is.



Notes - Loosely basing this guy on an old friend of mine LOL

[Duthguy]

Name - Danny Chapman

Color - Yellow
Age - 17
Wanna Be the Dragon - Yes
Personality - Follower, odd sense of humor, honest.
Background/Brief Bio - The youngest of three brothers, Danny tends to go along with whatever plan someone has come up with. In fact this very tendency is how he ended up in Zordon's base. He doesn't exactly like being a Ranger due to the risks involved but he feels it's too important a task to back out. He isn't a great martial artist, and while fighting mostly relies on his weapons, but he is not terrible either and he has been training for the last year.
Villain of Choice - Darkonda. The untrustworthy bounty hunter from my favorite season so far Power Rangers In Space

Notes -

What differences would there be for the rp between the Griffin or Qilin if any?

[Omega Man]

@Duthguy Well IDK if the Rangers got new melee weapons but that's an option. There's also the micros I'm making for this which will have new helmets based on whichever mythical creature you choose. I've already finished them all with variations on Blue and Yellow, just waiting for the game to begin to see who becomes the Dragon.

~KL~

[Duthguy]

Aah I see

[Omega Man]

Pegasus and the Griffin would also presumably have Zords capable at least of short range flight.

[Shadolord]

Name - Kaitlyn "Kitty" Vale
Color - Pink
Age - 19
Wanna Be the Dragon - Does not want it but is willing to ascend
Personality - To use a single word would be Feline. Her personality is something of an enigma she is warm one moment and cold the next. She is willing to sacrifice one to save thousands. If the world will be a better place she doesn't care who she pisses off doing it. She is a survivor.
Background/Brief Bio - She grew up bouncing through the foster system she had some good and some bad. Eventually she bounced into angel falls. There she ran away tired of the bouncing and in her hiding she wound up in a chamber with 4 other teens. There was some interesting things revealed. Now she lives out of an abandoned warehouse office. Working at a local cafe. Her talents are finding ways to reach hard places.
Villain of Choice - Vexacus

@Shadolord I like the CS so far but on the off chance the Red Ranger is the other female we'd need a Pink Ranger. Would you care to change colors? I'm also discussing Blue Ranger specifics with another interested party. I think with only a five person team we'd keep it three males and two females in the group...

@The Kid Lantern

Uh, my character sheet application is for red and she's a female.

<_<

[MsMellow]

I'm in for pink! Can write CS in a bit!

@The Kid Lantern

I am not opposed i actually started pink and on a random whim changed it to blue

@Izaka Sazaka

Well I meant on the off chance you didn't return and finish a CS. Too often I pre-approve CS's based on writing skill and theme knowledge and then they don't pan out. I just didn't wanna jinx it...

If we have to, and all the CS's are superb upon completion, we can do three females and two males.

~KL~

[rocketrobie2]

if you'll have me, I'd like to join the Rangers. I haven't seen a whole lot of Rangers but I love the idea all the same and I LOVED Jungle Fury so much. I don't know a whole lot about the other series but I can just look up any gaps in my knowledge.

EDIT: Also just noticed the word of another person wanting the blue ranger spot so if push comes to shove then I'm fine with being kicked to the curb.

Name - Henry Jonas
Color - Blue
Age - 17
Wanna Be the Dragon - Yes
Personality - Timid, jolly, alien
Background/Brief Bio - Henry grew up in a stable home with no siblings and very little in the way of friends. Henry was homeschooled until his family moved to Angel Falls where he began going to public school and stumbling upon Zordon's lair and the other four Power Rangers. Henry enjoys his time as a Power Ranger as a means of making his life seem worth something than it had been and to at least make some friends in the new town.
Villain of Choice - Whiger because the only thing better than a spirit tiger in a red ranger is a white spirit tiger in some cool tiger man.

Notes -
-He can get uncharacteristicly angry if he's compared to a Jonas brother.
-I found the picture for this by looking up 'cool boy with attitude'

[MsMellow]

Character Sheet

Name - Kimley Dawn Dawson
Color - pink
Age - 16
Wanna Be the Dragon - Possibly, I would like to play the game for a bit to see where it takes us :D

Personality - Can be a bit introspective at times, and a complete extrovert others. (the best definition would be ambivert) She is very loving, and compassionate to those in need and to her friends. She is slow to trust, but once that trust is gained she will be fiercely loyal.

Background/Brief Bio - Kimley has practiced gymnastics since she was 8 years old on the insistence of her mother, though her true interest lies in her music and art. She is a very impulsive person, at the disdain of her parents who have tried to mold her into the perfect debutante. Though in her heart she wants to please her parents, Kimley's real dream is to run away to New York and be an actress on Broadway. She is also quite the bookworm and reads everything she can get her hands on, from classic to modern literature. (Anything to escape the real world her parents have created for her) She rebels against her parents in any way possible, on of those being changing her clothes every morning in the girl's bathroom from dainty school girl into more edgy clothes.



Villain of Choice - (NO POKING FUN!!) Power Rangers Mystic Force, Necrolai

[Izaka Sazaka]

Found an interesting related game that I thought I'd drop here if anyone was interested. You can get it on steam.

Title Screen

[Omega Man]

^^^ That looks pretty cool.

Any interested parties go ahead and post up a finished CS. I'm gonna select a team and figure out who's gonna be where. Nobody has been accepted yet and there's still plenty of time for new players. If somebody wants to do a CS for a male Red Ranger, or make another Black Ranger CS and challenge my place, etc. you better get on it!
