A Power Rangers RP powered by OGSG! Logo creations and submissions are welcomed!
ϟ Revival ϟ
Centuries tell numerous stories of a superhuman group of individuals banding together for the common goal of taking down a dangerous evil for the sake of the entire universe. Ranging from intergalactic aliens to other dimension beings, our world can count on a certain group colorful individuals teaming up and saving the world from certain evil. No one is one hundred percent sure of when the development of these herculean teams started, but one of the many tales of the Power Rangers includes a certain battle with a parasitic evil. With one final blow, this particular group of legendary Power Rangers from ancient history used all of their energy to ensure that the evil was eradicated, removed completely from this world. With the parasite gone, so were the powers, never to be seen again.
In the year 2020, Angel Grove, California is growing exponentially into populous hub of technology and innovation. With cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco competing for the attention of the younger generation, the allure of Angel Grove appears to be not only the numerous opportunities for growth in a variety of industries; there is also a certain beauty about it being the place of origin for the modern day Power Rangers. Of course, the Power Rangers have not been seen in many years, but that doesn't stop the locals from talking about it as if the salvation of the human race happened yesterday.
At the heart of the city's financial boom is Gaia Corporation (Gaia Corp. for short). Gaia Corp. emerged nearly two decades ago as a company focusing on the creation of electronic devices and applications. What originally started as a simple company that mimicked Microsoft or Apple soon blossomed into a company that demanded the attention of the federal government. Now, in addition to the creation of phones, televisions, and consoles, Gaia Corp. appears to be in bed with the government in terms of creating a division that helped militarized operations. Unfortunately, most of this is kept under the table and hushed from the public view, but no one can deny the power that Grace Thorne, CEO of Gaia Corp., has harnessed in such a little amount of time.
Perhaps Gaia Corp. was called upon at the right time, because slowly but surely insectoid humanoids have been emerging across the city of Angel Grove and attacking individuals. No one is sure where exactly these creatures came from, but now seemed like as good a time as any for the Power Rangers to return once again to cure the ills of the city. What Gaia Corp. wasn't counting on was somehow "losing" their supply of electronic devices that was theoretically supposed to be used to equip a group of trained professionals to use out in the field. Now... not only are these devices somewhere scattered across the Angel Grove, only to be found by who knows... but also there are miniature battery charged operated dinosaur creatures looking for a person to call their master.
With the return of the parasite to Angel Grove and Gaia Corp. in a complete frenzy to find their equipment, this new group of ragtag misfits must eventually come together under the realization that there are threats in this world that can only be stopped by a revival of the Power Rangers.
Grace Thorne | 50 | Intelligent | Sly | Cold Not much is known about Grace Thorne's background aside from her masterful intelligence of all things technology. She is the chief executive officer of Gaia Corp. and proudly wears the mantle for all to see. Some say that she was once a kind and thoughtful businesswoman, but with the boom of her business, she has toed along the line of being outright ruthless with her employees.
Devin Thorne | 22 | Laid Back | Competitive | Stubborn The son of Grace Thorne and one of her interns, Devin is nearing graduation from Angel Grove University and is fully in line with working at Gaia Corp. for his mother. Though he would probably much rather being doing something else, he's loyal to his mother because he genuinely believes that she's a good person despite what everyone else seems to think... for better or for worse.
ϟ The Hive ϟ
Draco | Persuasive | Parasitical | Tactical The leader of the Hive, Draco's body hasn't yet reached its fullest potential even after all this time recuperating from the battle years ago. However, his mind is as sharp as its ever been. In between his revitalization, he sends out his minions to do his dirty work, all the while preparing for the day where he can get his hands dirty.
Bolran | Patient | Selfish | Resourceful Bolran is one of Draco's righthand men in completing the operation of overtaking the Earth. Though he is a very patient individual who doesn't mind seeing things through, he has his own ideas of how things can and should be done for the success of the Hive.
Moltus | Hotheaded | Ruthless | Powerful The brute of the Hive and Draco's other righthand man, Moltus is completely committed to causing destruction on Earth so that the Hive can rebuild it in their image. He is often butting heads with Bolran, but is ultimately a team player... so long as he can bash a few heads for his troubles.

ϟ Gaia Corp. ϟ
Gaia Corporation is the fastest growing electronic and appliances company in the world at this moment. Inspired by other companies and energized by the personal pride that they can do what any company does (except only better), in two decades Gaia Corp. has risen to a level of monopolization, completely throttling the weaker competition while trying to disable the major competitors. Most notably, Gaia Corp. has created the world's most technologically advanced cell phones and television sets, but with the development of their military division under the blessing of the federal government, now more than ever are they experiencing a huge flow of cash towards their technological creations.
Grace Thorne, chief executive officer of Gaia Corp., has dreamed of this moment for her entire life. Initially, while in college, she faced rejection of her ideals with many arguing that a woman would be unfit for advancement in the world technology, she proved her doubters wrong, going from interning and working for cheap at other companies, to ultimately purchasing the competition and taking on all of their assets in order to make her company stronger. By all means is she a ruthless businesswoman without much regard for the emotional states of other people. She's is solely focused on what can give her the most money, prestige and power... even if it means stepping on the throat of the competition in the process.
ϟ The Hive ϟ
Dubbed by the general public, the Hive is the manifestation of the return of the legendary parasite that threatened the Earth centuries ago. True to their name, the Hive is compromised of insect-like humanoid creatures that have a variety of abilities that relate to being a pest to the human race. Their primary goals is similar to the one they had centuries ago: takeover the planet Earth so that it may become their home. When their plans didn't work during the original days, the Hive resorted to more drastic and catastrophic means, wanting to create a comet storm that would ultimately destroy the Earth and make it unlivable (thus destroying every ounce of life in the process). The Hive didn't account for the unique partnering of the Power Rangers and their super-powered dinosaur companions to prevent the destruction of the Earth, but now the Hive is back and better than ever.
What is unique for the Hive this time around is that they are much smarter and more calculated about how they plan to attack the Earth. Originally, they wanted to overpower humans but seeing as how that can be problematic, the Hive has now taken into consideration outsmarting humans. That much can be seen as true given that they have waited so many centuries, biding their time until the Earth was at its most vulnerable: a time where the Power Rangers have disappeared completely and their defenses are completely exposed under the assumption that there wouldn't be anymore threat to the planet. The Earth would be in for quite the rude awakening.
ϟ The Rangers ϟ
Similar to most of the Rangers of the past, this new group of Rangers is a group of unsuspecting individuals who are simply living their lives to the fullest until they receive the call of becoming Power Rangers. Remember those miniature dinosaurs? Well, at some point they found their way to their respective "master" and have been clinging to them for who knows how long. These Rangers are young adults (early 20s), so it certainly would be odd to see them with what appears to be a toy, right? Regardless, they are ordinary human beings, but once they fully become Rangers, they cannot deny their super human abilities that come with being one of Earth's guardians from the parasite. No, they don't start off as a team, going into battle individually and they probably would be surprised to see that someone else is a Ranger too. Do they hide their identity from one another? Or do they partner up for the greater good?
As much as I love that you have interest in this RP, it is not first come, first serve. I may have reached out to you to see if you were interested in this RP, but that is not a guarantee that you will get the role that you want. A guy's got to advertise is RP, alright?
Absolutely no godmodding please. The only individuals allowed to do so (and this is usually within the plot or to get things moving in the right direction) are the GM (me) and a co-GM. I may be looking for a co-GM, but as of right now we will see how things shape out.
The goal for this RP is to be a bit grittier and maturer than your typical Power Rangers television show. Sure, I love the nostalgia and cheesiness of the original shows (haven't seen anything past RPM I believe), but I want you to treat this like a PG-13 movie (we won't tread into R-rated territory). So, I like realistic dialogue, emotions, actions... stuff that you would see in a movie or television show that ain't driven towards kids, capiche?
Depending on the level of interest, there may be room for more Rangers within the RP. However, to start off, I want to roll with just five of them for the sake of my sanity. If we garner enough interest, then we may just move into expanding the team, though I probably will cap it off at some point.
In regards to posting, this RP is a casual one, but I want some sort of quality and thought put into posts. I'm not saying post a novel, but give us something to reply to. I hate one liners or posts without any sort of content placed within them. I reserve the right to ask for a post sample (and probably will look at your post history to see what you're working with). So, be on standby if I request that information.
Activity is a must. You have to be active if you want to participate in this RP. I'm looking for more than one post a week from you, so if you are incapable of doing that, this may not be the RP for you. I understand that you can't post every day or if you have writer's block, but I want to help you push through so this RP can be a success! If at any point you feel that you need to step away from the RP (a hiatus or completely), please let me know. Communication is key for any relationship (or RP).
I've fumbled with the idea of allowing people to play up to two characters, but for right now, only one character per person. If you are interested in playing another character, feel free to let me know via PM or Discord.
Above all, have fun! I want this to be an enjoyable experience and escape from the realities and troubles of the real world. That's what roleplaying is all about after all. If you have any questions, feel free to post in the OOC, PM, or send me a message on Discord. Let's make this fun!
ϟ Character Sheet ϟ
Look, I'm going to try to make this CS has simple as possible, but I want you to be as descriptive as possible. I won't have you go through hoops to write up your character. If I can get a firm understanding of who your character is based on the personality and history, we're good. Without further ado, here is the application:
[b]Name:[/b] First Middle and Last
[b]Age:[/b] 20-23 please
[b]Ranger Designation:[/b] What is your preferred color?
[b]Appearance:[/b] A complete physical description will suffice. If providing a picture, be sure that it's a real life portrayal and not a cartoon/anime. Be sure to include your character's fashion/clothing style.
[b]Personality:[/b] What personality qualities define your character? How do they react in certain situations. Strengths/Weaknesses? Habits? Fears? Be as descriptive as possible. This section may be a paragraph or two.
[b]Background:[/b] Though the plot is set in 2020, this world is very similar to ours so there is no need to understand some sort of complex lore. It's a very modern world. The things that I want to know is what shaped your character to be the individual that they are now. Are they in school? Do they work? You don't have to include anything about interacting with their dinosaur partner. Just give me some background on the character. 3 paragraphs minimum, but no more than 5.
@OGSG I was just thinking about a Power Rangers rp today while browsing the site for new threads. I'm absolutely interested and while I don't intend for the spot to be saved, I'm going ahead and announcing I'll be applying for the Red Ranger position. Hopefully that won't ruffle any feathers. Also, in case we don't obtain enough interest, I thought I'd remind you that some PR shows start off with three main characters and slowly gather the rest.
Dope! Red shouldn't ruffle any feathers since there won't be a specific "leader" anyway! I'm glad you're interested. Just added you to my Discord btw.
Hello RP Guild. The name's OGSG (or just OG, whatever you wanna call me). Been looking for a solid RP forum for a while, so hopefully I can find a home with this place. Currently, I've got a Power Rangers RP Interest Check up here, so if you're down for that, feel free to post there! If not, thanks for all of the warm welcomes! :D
Hey everyone! The name's OGSG; feel free to call me OG or OGSG, either way it doesn't matter to me. I'm relatively new to Roleplayer Guild, but certainly am not new to roleplay. I've been searching the interwebs for quite sometime to find a decent, casual (maybe a touch of advanced) roleplaying group that revolves around a maturer interpretation of our favorite rainbow warriors, the Power Rangers. As the GM, I would absolutely love a Co-GM to bounce creative ideas and plots off of, so if you are interested, please let me know. I'd be happy to share some of the burden and load to creating a successful roleplay! All of the information in this interest check can (and probably will) be updated once the official game goes live, but I wanted to at least get a head count to see which members are interested in participating in an RP. So, without further ado, I bring forth my pitch to bringing a kick ass Power Rangers game!
Plot
I've been reading the Power Rangers comics recently and I'm really digging an "old school" type of Power Rangers RP. Nothing that's completely old school per se, but I like the concept of strangers coming together as "teenagers with attitudes." Only, I want the "teenagers" to be "young adults with attitude." Maybe they're in college trying to figure out their lives or perhaps already out in the work force trying to make ends meet. With that plot in mind, I absolutely love the Kyoryuger suits (I haven't watched Dino Charge and don't plan on it either). The dinosaur theme just oozes nostalgia for me, so I wanted to tie in that theme with the overarching plot of the entire roleplay. Don't worry, it'll all make sense once everything is up and running. So, at minimum, a group of young adults given access to dinosaur-themed powers.
The Rangers
Ideally, I would lovelovelove for this roleplay to consist of a diverse group of characters (in personality, appearance, race, backgrounds, etc.). I mean, that's true to the Power Rangers' series, right? They should be a ragtag group of individuals who are certainly not perfect and probably would butt heads with each other on more than one occasion. However, over time, they will become one big happy family that fights for the right reasons. I don't think that there will be a specific "leader" per se (no matter how much we are inclined to lean towards the Red Ranger), but each one can and will have their moment to shine in specific moments. That being said, colors are not gender specific! There can be a female Red Ranger or a male Pink Ranger. I think that would make things more interesting!
Communication and Activity
My most utilized form of communication would be Discord (OGSG#2851 if you guys want to add me). If everyone in the group has a Discord, I can make us a server so that OOC and plot updates can be posted there. In addition to that, I'll also have an OOC thread where I can duplicate the post for those that don't use Discord. In terms of activity, I'm not asking for you to post every day, but a couple of posts per week would be ideal so that we can continue to move the plot. Communication is important in any relationships, so I'll need it in order to make this roleplay work.
Conclusion
I'll save you guys the trouble of posting any rules and what have you, but I'm looking for a few people that are willing to roleplay with me to make this happen! The RP itself will operate in "episodes" with each Ranger(s) having specific focus episodes that revolve their specific plots. If you are interested in joining this RP, feel free to leave a message below or send me a PM so that I can add you to the tag list! If you have any questions, you can post them below as well or send me a message on Discord! I hope to hear from you all soon!
