I'm envisioning the suits looking like different colored versions of the one Tommy wore in the "Green Ranger VS Ryu" fan video, including the gold trim along the helmet.
I'll be playing a heavily modified version of Andros the Red Ranger and his younger sister, Karone/Astronema, though she won't come into play until later. At the start of the RP, she has been missing for years after Andros saw her abducted by an alien spacecraft, but of course no one believed him at the time. Feel free to adapt Rangers from any of the series or create your own original characters. Regardless of who you play, we're all teenagers attending high school in Angel Grove, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. We're on our Summer vacation a few weeks before our senior year is about to start, and as the RP opens, we're searching through a bunch of random junk that washed up on the beach after a recent earthquake dislodged an underwater dump site. Most of it is trash, but we do notice a small chest holding colorful crystals, which we eventually learn are Dragon Energems. We each find ourselves drawn to a specific color, and later that night we are teleported out of our beds onto a cloaked alien spaceship in orbit around Earth.
Onboard we meet Zordon, a cosmic wizard from the planet Eltar who is trapped within the ship's damaged Warp Core, his body stuck in a form of living energy. Sensors detected us bonding with the Energems, which pulled Zordon from a deep slumber. His friend and droid Alpha 5 used the ship's transporter system to teleport us onboard, and we learn that the Energems were created by cosmic beings known as the Dragon Masters in ancient times to empower the first team of Rangers. Long after the Dragon Masters ascended to a higher plane of existence, the Green Ranger Rita turned against the Red Ranger Zordon and their team. In the final battle, the other Rangers died, and Zordon managed to sacrifice himself to seal Rita inside a space dumpster. Yet somehow his essence remained as a form of living energy and he was sucked into the damaged Warp Core.
After Rita's betrayal and the death of his team, Zordon was reluctant to let the Energems fall into anyone else's hands, and so he chose a random planet with deep oceans (Earth) and had Alpha dump them into the water. They cloaked the ship, locked it into orbit around Earth, and both Zordon and Alpha entered a centuries-long slumber, only to be awakened when the earthquake brought the Energems to the surface where we bonded with them.
From here we'll just go with the flow, but obviously Rita will get free and we'll morph and fight her forces and so on. Oh, and if someone wants to play Zhane the Silver Ranger as Andros' best friend, that would be cool XD.
In this AU, the Versal Nexus is an interdimensional space with thousands of floating crystal spheres known as World Orbs. Each Orb houses it's own pocket universe, and together they form a multiverse of sorts. Many Worlds are based on different settings within various games and fandoms, but some are very closely related with only minor variations. Your character is whatever version of Princess Peach you'd like to create, and mine is Bowser in a quasi-human form who comes from a world where King Mario is the villain. We can hash out the details via PM, but basically my character hops into your world and recruits you because you have the last uncorrupted Mushroom Kingdom Heart, a glowing red crystal that exists in every world where a variant of you also exists. King Mario has been sending his minions throughout the Versal Nexus, hunting for all your variants so he can corrupt their Hearts because he believes that if he can sacrifice all the Peaches at once, he can revive his own world's Peach, who died some years ago while she was pregnant with his child.
Because your Peach's Heart has not been corrupted yet, it can cleanse other Hearts, and so Bowser asks her to set out with him on a journey across the Nexus to rescue the other Peaches and then find them temporary homes in other worlds until King Mario is defeated. Though, they don't all have to be named Peach, they could have variant names and such. We can develop the idea further via PM.
Hello! I am Captain Manbeard, or you can just call me Jeff. I am looking to set up a few long-running 1x1 MxF roleplays with literate partners who can write at an advanced level. I've been writing for most of my life, whether that be school projects, RPs, short stories, or novels. The first story I ever remember writing was back in middle school when I had to create my own Greek God in my Reading class, but I got creative and changed the entire canon to bring the Gods into modern day. Then I wrote a scene about Zeus playing basketball, he went for a godly slam dunk, and when the ball hit the ground, it burst open and inside was a newly born baby God (yes I did copy Athena's origin a little). He was Kazama, and became the God of Basketball, Video Games, and Rap Music. Kinda cringe now as an adult, but as a 13 year old in the 90s, I thought it was amazing XD.
Here are a few of my ideas:
My idea for this is a story set in a small community similar to Pelican Town with fleshed out NPCs and such, but with magic as prevalent as in Hogsmeade, but with a growing mystery and portals to a monster world like in Hawkins. I am looking for a literate partner who can write at an advanced level and is excited by the idea of designing an entire town of people with me as a sandbox for us to play in. I am interested in a MxF pairing, with me playing the male.
As for exactly how our main characters fit into the narrative, we can hash that out via PM, but we could probably center it around a breach into a demonic realm that opens up in the abandoned mines in the mountains nearby that threatens the safety of the town. Maybe one of our characters is a monster hunter who comes to investigate while the other is an alchemy shop owner in town. Or maybe one is a bartender and the other is a farmer and they get pulled into the unfolding plot somehow. Or maybe one is the town doctor and the other was fishing up the river when they got infected by some demonic virus that came out of the mines. We can make our characters whatever we want XD. If interested, please slide into my PMs.
My idea for this is sort of a fusion AU between Star Wars and Star Trek. Starfleet is the Galactic Republic's largest space-faring naval organization, and they have absorbed what used to be known long ago as the Jedi Order. It now exists as the Starfleet Jedi Division, and has multiple sub-divisions that thread into other parts of Starfleet, such as the Jedi Guardian Corps (security and frontline combat forces), the Jedi Consular Assembly (diplomats, scientists, and doctors), and the Jedi Sentinel Bureau (officers specializing in investigations, intelligence, counter-terrorism, and covert operations). Regardless of which sub-division a Force-sensitive officer ends up in, they have usually received some kind of guidance from a mentor in their youth, and then join the Jedi Initiate Course when they enroll at Starfleet Academy.
Our characters are Jedi students at the Academy on Coruscant, at the end of our junior year (so that makes us around 20/21 years old or so), and we are about to embark on a Cadet Cruise for six weeks. This is meant to help us decide what path we want to take in Starfleet so that we can begin specialized training in our senior year. We will meet and work with Guardians, Consulars, and Sentinels on our cruise and complete a variety of tasks. Or that was the plan, at least...
In the middle of our Cadet Cruise, the galaxy is thrown into chaos with the start of the Clone Wars. In this AU, the Clone Troopers are Force-sensitive and were created from hybrid DNA spliced from both Klingons and Sith Purebloods, making them deadly in both ranged and melee combat. Instead of fighting for the Republic, they serve a body known as the Dark Council, which has manipulated dozens of planets into seceding from the Republic to form the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Secretly, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has edged the galaxy towards this fate by supporting higher taxes and more corporate regulations in order to stoke angers and make it easier for the Dark Council to persuade planetary governments towards the Separatist Movement.
So, our characters get caught up in this conflict, and we're offered temporary field commissions as Acting Ensigns until we can get back to the Academy. Throughout the ordeal, we begin to form a bond and eventually romance blossoms. We also end up encountering Order 66, a team of Clone Troopers specializing in hunting down Jedi and killing them.
We can develop the idea further via PM.
Your character is a college girl enjoying her Summer vacation in Hawaii. My character is a tribal warrior on the island of Muatoya, which is near the Hawaiian Islands but cloaked by magical barriers. His people have the ability to shift between human and dragon forms. In the past, there were many more of them, but the tribe has been nearly wiped out in recent decades by hunters and poachers who want their magical blood, bones, horns, and scales for black markets around the world. The tribe began hiring outsiders to help guard their island, but this eventually led to the development of a secret society of pirates and mercenaries using it as a hideout. The tribe can't kick them off the island because then the criminals would have no reason left not to kill them and sell their parts - the only reason they keep them alive is because the dragons control the barrier keeping the island hidden. It's a very loose treaty that holds for now.
A problem has been creeping up, though - the male dragons are beginning to outnumber the female dragons, meaning their population could dwindle enough to weaken the barrier. To combat this, the pirates and mercenaries - known collectively as Red Jaguars or Red Jags - agree to seek out women to bring to the island to mate with the dragons. Their hope is that if they produce enough hybrid offspring, maybe there will still be enough magic on the island to keep the barrier up.
But the Red Jags lied to the tribe and said they would only bring women who agreed to come. In reality, however, they started abducting them from various areas around the Hawaiian Islands, including your character. She is paired with my character, and he is furious when he discovers she was brought against her will. But the Red Jags threaten to execute any women who don't go along with their forced marriages, so our characters play along at first while secretly making plans in their bedroom at night to overthrow the Red Jags. Maybe they also discover that your character has some dormant magical potential deep within her, and my character allows her to drink his blood in order to awaken it.
We can develop the idea more via PM XD. Oh, I forgot to mention, the reason the Red Jags have such a hold over the dragons is because they severely outnumber them and do have some magical abilities themselves derived from enchanted artifacts, magitech devices, and alchemical potions.
We can develop the plot together via PM, but the overall setting is the city-state of Madripoor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the year 2085. There are a variety of tales we can tell in this RP, so it'll leave it vague for now and then we can hash it out.
My idea for this can be molded for a variety of RPs. The setting is our modern day Earth, but all the races and magic from D&D and other similar fantasy worlds exist. To fit that better, we should say that all the races reach adulthood at the same rate as humans, but some may take slightly longer than others to become elderly. So, you could have a human and an elf who are childhood friends, they go to school together and age at the same rate into adulthood, but the signs of advanced aging will take significantly longer to show on the elf than the human. So an elf might chronologically be in their 90s but physically they still look a few decades younger and won't appear "elderly" until like 120 years of age.
As for the society of this hybrid world, it's still very similar to our own with smartphones and computers and internet and vehicles and all, but with the addition of various non-human races walking around and the presence of magical abilities and items. The idea I have for the aesthetic is kinda similar to the anime-style Travel Oregon commercials, which I will post below. PM me if interested XD.
My idea for this is an AU version of the setting presented in Carnival Row, but with a wider variety of magical races, similar to D&D. We can develop the plot via DM, but here are the trailers for the two seasons of the show to give you an idea of the aesthetic.
While I'm not ready to resume this RP right now, I may be open to it in the future. But if we're ever at the point where everyone is interested and willing to continue, I think it would be best for us to have a few "session zeroes" in a group PM thread to find our synergy before we attempt to resume this RP publicly. We could have Martian Manhunter create a psychic virtual world for our characters to have practice missions, that would help us learn to write together better as a group. But I dunno, we'll see. I don't know if anyone would even still be interested after three months, lol.
@CaptainManbeard Thank you for posting and updating us. This was the first group RP I played in a long time when it first started. It helped me get back into the swing of things, so thank you for the opportunity to join. I hope everything goes well for you! :)
