PROMPT:

Centuries upon Centuries ago the Eltarians were in a brutal struggle against the collective strengths of their enemies, the only thing between them and universal darkness being that of a inherent extradimensional source of energy that would become known as the Morphing Grid.

To keep the forces of darkness from getting their hands on this power source they locked it away and the universe was preserved, if at the price of sacrificing the Eltarians themselves. The key to unlocking the grid, crystalline objects known as energems, would find themselves blasted into deep space. Various alien hordes would search for them with hopes it could empower them as the most powerful beings in the universe for time eternal. Fate has robbed them of that, though it is in the 21st Century on the Planet Earth where they will finally get their chance and nearly succeed.

It would be on Earth that the energems would be unearthed and awakened by several new hosts whomst hold the willpower and goodness to protect them and the grid from the threats that salivate for their power. These would-be heroes would come to be known as the first Power Rangers this reality had seen since the fall of Eltar. Their bravery would push back horde after horde until a devastating event would see themselves meet a terrible fate. However, from some interdimensional accident, one of the rangers who survived the event has tampered with the grid and tricked fate. Finding themselves in the beginning they know what it is soon to come. As they await the energems to be harnessed by their friends in this particular timeline they look to the sky for the aliens that will soon come.

Can the rangers survive what is to come this time? 

FOREWARD:

Welcome to a reimagining of the Power Rangers setting, and I say setting very loosely here since as us who grew up with this franchise very clearly know any lore and continuity is held together with duct tape. It’s a Power Rangers RP so at the core I won’t be taking it absolutely too seriously, though we do have a veneer of taking ourselves more seriously than say... Ninja Steel. So keep that in mind.

Some things of note to consider:
■ You will be committed to this RP. This means a one (1!) three-to-five sentence paragraph every month. Given our schedules, that should not be too hard, right?

■ You will apply for one character role of your choosing that fits the general aesthetic of that trope.

■ Your character will use actors as a faceclaim reference beneath the age of 28.

■ Your character will have reasonable skills and talents for a 11th Grade High School student. You can have affinities, but we are trying to be semi-grounded but light-hearted. Think of a mix of the recent reboot and the original series.

■ Your characters are not related by blood. They may or may not be familiar with each other when the RP starts (they have gone to the same high school for awhile, right?).

■ You will have fun.

SETTING:

It is April 3rd, 2023.

In Angel Grove, California, weird seismic readings have been detected by the Northern California Earthquake Data Center for several weeks. Unbeknownst to the forty-thousand people that call the Angel Grove-Fort Bragg Metropolitan Area home, it will be the last sign of peace they will have for a long time.

On the edge of Sol, an advance scouting team for the Xalantian Imperium nears Planet Earth in hopes they have finally found what they had been looking to find for eons: the keys to the morphing grid.

Those strange readings in California? The very same. But this battle has been played out before–for one person–it feels like deja vu, but there are events that must be put in motion before she reveals herself. The Power Rangers must realize their destiny and become one with the energems to battle these would-be alien invaders. She swore to herself that she would observe until the time was right. And the universe needs the Power Rangers.

Going into the new year, these five 11th Grade High School Students who attend Dolores Huerta High School must go about their lives, as mundane or hopeless as they may be, until the energems come into being once more. It is only then that these teenagers... with attitude... will witness what the universe has in store for them. How will they fare with the weight of the cosmos on their shoulders? Will they break like they did in another timeline, or can fate truly be changed?

CONCEPTUALIZING:

As a great force of evil comes closer to Terra Verum, otherwise known as the planet Earth by its denizens, it seems that the power of the morphing grid must once again materialize and choose five mortals to wield their power and defeat the forces of darkness once more.

The requirements of the following roles are not locked in, outside of the fact that the Red Ranger will eventually become the Leader. Players are open to design their concepts as a yellow ranger who is the smart one or whatever. Genders are fluid as well, design your characters how you want–these colors, however, are locked in. I went a little abstract and freeform on the last iteration of this RP and in conjunction with a severe depressive break, I didn’t know how to move things along. This rigidity is to help balance and direct the game. Plus it keeps stupid questions in my DMs to a minimum.
