Power Rangers Dragon Morphers

Okay, so there are five of us total as of right now, enough for a starting Ranger team. What colors and powers do you each want? I'll be playing the Red Ranger and Crimsom Flame has already claimed the Pink Ranger. If we get new players after the start of the RP they can come on as newly recruited Rangers who bond with unclaimed Energems.

One thing I'm gonna do differently with this RP compared to my past ones is to keep my posts shorter so they are not walls of text like before. My last two Power Ranger RPs kind of fizzled because I overloaded them with too much plot too soon and had really long posts. This time I'm going with a simpler, more laid-back approach. I have some basic plot ideas for where the story could go, but I'm mostly just gonna go with the flow and see where it takes us and then come up with the background story as necessary.

So I was thinking about my ideas for the Ranger suits, and wanted to check with everyone interested to see what your thoughts were. Would you prefer for each player to have more freedom around how their suits look, or should we keep them all as the same theme like the shows? And I think it might be cool for each Ranger to have a specific superpower they can use at will and then it becomes stronger when they morph, any thoughts?

Wizard Mafia (Harry Potter Organized Crime RP)

The story is set in modern day New York City, during a time when the Magical Congress of the United States is infested with corruption. This allows the Serpeverde Crime Family to run their criminal empire with little interference from the authorities so long as they continue to bribe officials. They use Imperio and Obliviate to maintain control over the Five Families, often having them as scapegoats and distractions to keep No-Maj law enforcement preoccupied.

I will be playing a Capo in the Family named Tommy Zucco, and your characters are part of his crew. Unlike the actual Mafia, the magical version allows all genders and even non-Italians can become Made if they prove themselves. It's up to you whether your character starts out as Made or just a Serpeverde Family Associate. I'll wait to determine exactly what kind of work the Zucco Crew does until we have a few players and discuss some ideas, but it will definitely involve frequent use of the Unforgivable Curses.

"Look at this fucking snitch! Pissing his pants, this guy! What, you think we're gonna hurt you? Was that a nod? Hey Joey, this motherfucker thinks we're gonna hurt him! Well, when you're right, you're right! Crucio!"

And here's the most recent opening missing from that video.

And here's the opening from the tabletop livestream series.

To anyone who's curious about the different Power Rangers characters over the years to help choose one to adapt, here are all the opening themes from 1993 to 2022.

And here's the most recent team from the TV continuity if you're curious:

I'm interested in joining but I know basically nothing about power rangers besides 'cool toys when i was a kid'.

@Product

No worries, I'm basically throwing the lore into a blender and it's coming back out as a custom AU XD.

I'm thinking the Command Center on the ship and the Warp Core will look similar to the CC used in the Once & Always special.

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.
