Power Rangers: Strike Force

I'm just not seeing how the Rangers survive longer than a week.

@SoleAccord

Right though?

Power Rangers: Strike Force

@ProProalright, strange question but it was inspired by that small revelation I just had.

How heavy are the grunt soldiers?

Power Rangers: Strike Force

@ProProHow do we win, actually no, how do we survive?

I mean, even if we knew martial arts (which I planned to since he's going for loyal soldier) it doesn't matter against the grunts, and even with morphers, they're still apparently almost as strong as our ranger forms.

And that's the grunts, what are the mid-level bosses going to be like?

The generals that turn into giant monsters, are they just gonna flick their wrist and incinerate us before even going giant?

There are five of us, oh wait, there are six of us with abilities that barely put us above our enemy's foot soldiers. I'm all for a challenge, these just feel like impossible odds.

And I get it because there'd be no point to the game if it was just a copy of every other series, each fight looking like we might lose but nope, winning every time. Destroying every uber powered alien/demon/machine-demon hybrid with seemingly less effort with every short handed power up.

Maybe it's because I'm speculating way too much but these odds feel too insurmountable. Like, it would be improbable to say that we were perfect on the first or even the fourth try and I totally expect us to lose when it makes sense. But, I don't know, I guess I'm seeing this uphill battle with a enormously steep incline and that's unfair because I don't know the game yet so our enemy might have some type of weakness, your the GM and you would know.

It's just that, from what I can see, will there ever be a point where we're not just barely scraping through each fight?

WAIT! I just had an idea!!

What's emitting the light that turns people's brains into mush?

And what produces the water!?

If we destroyed those could we free everyone!?

Is this game not about fighting countless battles but actually performing calculated strikes at major points to turn the tide of the war as a whole!!?

Power Rangers: Strike Force

@ProProSorry if this is a dumb question but I've been reading over the story on the OP and was wondering if we had a revolutionary army of some kind?

I mean, you made it clear that the aliens don't use military force to suppress people, instead they use drug induced mind control to turn the populace docile.

Ten years ago Galatec, a multi-galactic corporation and superpower, arrived under the banner of peace and trade. The united government of New Earth established treaties and trade agreements which allowed Galatec access to the planet's resources, and in exchange they would provided goods and services to the good people of New Earth. What nobody saw coming was a corporate takeover of the most hostile variety. The products provided by Galatec were designed to make humans complacent, obedient, servants and sheep to their alien benefactors. When the time came, Galatec took over with no resistance, and now the entire population exists as slave labor to expand the corrupt company's resources and profit margin.

@ProPro

But I had a thought...

There has to be an interval of time between Galatec giving people these "too good to be true" products and their spread to every facet of humanity right? There are over 6 billion people on the planet.

They had to wait for the mind control to get to everyone, even if they put it in the water. And surely there were people who were out of range of the effects (people in submarines or in caves) or those that didn't trust the new technology because it was obviously too good to be true and just drank bottled water.

There are many humans who are naturally, and often rightfully, paranoid when it comes to gifts from the heavens.

So, my question is, was there an interval of time between Galatec's arrival and the enslavement of humanity?

And, if yes to the above, how long was that interval and is there a rebel force of underground humans that banded together in that interval of time?

Again, sorry if that was dumb question or if it was asked before. I miss things sometimes...

@Renny Jonah will most likely be in a perpetual state of "annoyed as fuck" whenever he sees your face or you doing something stupidly reckless. Expect it to culminate in a rousing punch in the face as you gather "red ranger power-ups".

Oh, that's if I'm accepted.

@ProProHave you already made the CS? I had an idea for one if you wanted to see it...

PS: I have my picture.

I'll have the OOC up soon.

Power Rangers: Strike Force

@SoleAccord Don't sell yourself short, you're probably a genius.

@RennyI'm not a huge fan of the idea of "selflessness" and neither is my character, it sounds nice but I don't think a lot of people actually know what it means to be without a "self".

I know you said you were struggling with it but I don't think Michael and Jonah are going to get along....which makes us the perfect red and blue rangers!

Power Rangers: Strike Force

@Renny I think it's a form of forced selflessness right, he probably doesn't think of himself as much of anything so he throws himself in the way of fire without a care, trying to hold up others because playing support is easier than fighting for yourself.

At least, that's what I got from him, I'm probably over thinking it right now! I should wait for the game like @SoleAccord said! Sorry!

Power Rangers: Strike Force

6) Special training is allowed for certain slaves that show above and beyond loyalty and work ethic

@ProPro

YES, EVERYTHING I PLANNED FOR MY CHARACTER HAS LINED UP SO FAR WITH THE SET UP!!!!!!

For a hint, my character is a hard worker who tried to move up the ranks of Galatec for the sake of his family, they were afraid that those who were useless might get thrown away so he worked, out of fear at first and then out of habit, to become more efficient. Eventually that was just who he was.

Sure, he had this nagging feeling at the back of his mind that it was wrong but what are you going to do? Life isn't a comic book, he was one person, no matter how skilled. It was an unrealistic dream so he threw it away, wouldn't you? In real life, even strong people have to look at the facts. My characters kind of a person who thinks things through, maybe too much...

Anyway, I like learning more about the new world! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE!!

@SoleAccord My point wasn't that you'd have good memories, my point was that those memories could create a foundation for your personality now. Even if it was ten years, the core of your being can be forged in your youth.

And since we were all, at some point, going to become rangers fighting evil. I assumed any ambitions we put off would, at that point, rise to the surface, whatever indoctrination effect occurred earlier wouldn't matter then. I thought that when our perception of the world shifted, we would look inward towards past stories we had heard of "the good old days" and fond memories we had that sparked our latent dreams.

I mean, I guess that doesn't matter now because we won't have that forced perception anymore and therefor those memories I mentioned won't make up the core of our beings....I just wanted to clarify my thought process a little...

So yeah, I did that..

ANYWAY, again, really like the world building here!

Agents Of Olympus: Interest Check

@xGoblinKingx Other than the stream thing, I guess it would depend on what year you were born.

Like I said on the first page, there are no stream users on earth but, as I just realized, whether that matters or not depends on your age.

So, how old is Agent Zephyr?
