Have you guys seen the new Thor trailer? It looks so wicked. Its so SO cool looking!

Power Rangers idea pitch thing

@Burning Kitty

1) Depends on what people want later on. I'm not all to fussy on the colours and I'll let people chose what they want.

2) Thunderzords. There'll be more zords added later on too so if you don't like your classic one you can end up getting something else later on.

3) I'm gonna say pretty close, oldest being 18. Teens with 'tude.

Power Rangers idea pitch thing

Twenty-Four years ago the Power Rangers were assembled to stop the evil forces of Rita Repulsa, Rito Repulso and Lord Zed. Twenty-Four years ago five teens with attitude would have their lives changed in the blink of an eye as they were thrust into a life of heroics and righteousness. Twenty-One years ago the Power Rangers, having fought the forces of villainy for three long years in hundreds of battles, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers made a final push against Rita, Rito and Zed in an attempt to once more lock them away in the moon. Unbeknownst to the Rangers they had been influenced by Remlin, a newly met ally in their journey towards world domination, who had the ability to influence people through their dreams. The Rangers were successful in their act but in doing so had used their power to escalate a battle, resulting in the loss of their powers and the Power Rangers disappeared, having given up all of their power in order to protect the planet from evil once and for all. The world lived in relative peace for years thanks to the Power Ranger’s sacrifice…

Until Today.

On April 11th 2017 an illegal weapon test was preformed on the moon’s surface which unintentionally broke open the seal that kept the evil group captive along with their numerous minions. Now Zordon has to call on a new generation of teens with attitude in order to save the planet from annihilation.

Hello and welcome to my Power Rangers RP interest check. I’m looking for around five players total for this RP but I would be willing to settle for three or four if there doesn’t seem to be enough interest to warrant a full team. This RP will also be using some tabletop elements in it’s fight scenes as well as a ‘season’ dynamic that I hope will give people some more incentive to continue the RP long term or at the very least give them an easy way out of the RP without derailing the rest of the RP. These two factors will be described better in it’s own category.

Synopsis

---

This RP will follow the events of a new team of Power Rangers (Power Rangers Neo) in an alternate time line to the television shows and movies. In this timeline the original Power Rangers had their powers revoked by Zordon after being manipulated into escalating a fight with Rita Repulsa, Rito Repulso, Lord Zedd and an original villain going by the name of Remlin (a dream manipulating/eating monster whom was directly responsible for the original Power Ranger’s fall from grace) which also resulted in the imprisonment of the four villains in the Moon. Now after 21 years of imprisonment the forces of evil are let loose on the world once again and in response Zordon makes the call for a force of five new teens to be Power Rangers.

Stats and Season Systems

---

First off let me thank @The Kid Lantern for allowing me to use an edit version of his Stat system that he’s been using for years.

Stat System

Rather than make rolls for things, every official attack is an automatic hit with some freeform-writing misses thrown in there if you want. Damage is set and movement is the same as in a normal casual RP.

This edited system utilizes only four actual stats:

(HP)Health: Pretty self-explanatory, this is how many hits you can take before kicking the bucket. You don’t actually invest any points in this and its just an addition of Strength and Speed (ST+SP=HP)

(ST)Strength: This governs the damage of any and all attacks (ranged, melee, Zord, etc). 1-4 allows you to deal one damage, 5-9 allows you to deal two damage and 10 allows you to deal three damage.

(SP)Speed: This will govern a two things; how many times you can dodge attacks per encounter (The amount of dodges is immediately proportional to your speed stat) and how many actions you can make per post (1-4 is three actions, 5-9 is four actions, 10 is five actions)

IQ: This is for the more techie stuff of the Ranger’s arsenal. IQ is used when calculating a Zord’s health (IQ+SP+ST=Zord HP) and how much health is used up when summoning a weapon (will be elaborated later on)(1-3 weapon summon uses up six HP, 4-7 weapon summon uses up four, 8-10 weapon summon uses up two)

Weapons will give you a boost to your attack (equivalent of +2ST) at the cost of your own health (which depends on your IQ).

Initially every character will start off with eight point to distribute into their Stats and will gain more points to spend every five points. Here’s a chart for your convince.

Level 1 - 8 points - 1-5 posts
Level 2 - 9 points - 6-10 posts
Level 3 - 10 points - 11-15 posts
Level 4 - 11 points - 16-20 posts
Level 5 - 12 points - 21-25 posts
Level 6 - 13 points - 26-30 posts
Level 7 - 14 points - 31-35 posts
Level 8 - 15 points - 36-40 posts
Level 9 - 16 points - 41-45 posts
Level 10 - 17 points 46-50 posts

Now when whatever monster we happen to be fighting decides to kick the fight into overdrive and grow, our teens with ‘tude will have to call on the awesome force of their Zords in order to form one of the mighty Megazords. The Megazords will have separate health for each Zord used in it’s construction though every player will have full control over the combined Megazord in their posts so long as their Zord’s health isn’t reduced to zero. If the Zord’s health is reduced to zero then that player loses control over the Zord though the other players are still able to use that player’s Zord in the Megazord robot formation.

Seasons System

The Seasons system will separate enemy encounters into ‘episodes’ which will ideally not last extremely long but still be entertaining and give us a narrative. The episodes will start with some time for character development then go into an initial encounter (then possibly more encounters and regroupings to add some extra suspense) and finish off with a Megazord fight. At the end of each episode, if a Player feels like they no longer want to continue the RP, they’ll be able to leave without disrupting the flow of the RP too much. At the end of certain amount of episodes there will be a season finally which will basically be a longer episode with a tougher fight and a lot more satisfaction (hopefully).

Conclusion

---

Well that’s all there is to the RP. Stat based Power Rangers action! So if you’ve managed to read to the bottom of this interest check of mine then I’ll take it your at least mildly interested so why don’t you make it public and let me know!

@Kessir Tarkin I like New Vegas mostly because I'm a huge fan of Cowboys and apocalyptic Cowboys just seems like a match made in heaven.

Also @JesseJ, sorry that I have t gotten my character up yet. I'm having a pretty heavy week but you can expect something by Friday at the latest.

@Western Robot duly noted. I'll try to edit my post later today when I get back home.

Young Justice est. 2020

Speed Demon

Arthur didn’t talk at all during the tour, only giving slight nods and an occasional mumble in acknowledgement of what he was being shown. Truth be told he wasn’t extremely jazzed about the idea of living with all of these wannabe heroes. It wasn’t a personal thing and he didn’t think he was any better than them but Arthur knew from experience that he had a very low tolerance for people. All that said Arthur also realized that this was the chance of a lifetime. This was his chance to move from being a low-level street magician to a full fledge Arcane superhero and for that reason Arthur accepted Zatanna’s offer to join the Young Justice team.

’These children are our new compatriots? None of these welps look like they could raise a finger against even a runt of a hellhound.’ said the all to familiar voice of L’Iego within the confines of Arthur’s mind. The demon had just started to speak about a day ago and while at first it was more than a little startling, Arthur quickly got over it as he had begun to become numb to the transmundane. He hadn’t brought up the issue to Zatanna or anyone else for that matter in fear that it might affect his chances of getting his shot at super heroics.

’Yeah yeah. Listen, if we wanna do some real good then this is the perfect stepping stone. We could potentially get into the Justice League if we prove our worth here.’ Arthur thought in response to the demon.

’I think you may misunderstand our situation. I have no desire to help you do any, quote unquote, ‘good’ in the world. We are bound to one another and at the moment my only desire is survival which at the moment is also tied to yours.’ L’Iego replied with a great amount of distaste in his thoughts as he was once more forced to remember that he was trapped sharing a form with a lowly human who would draw upon his own demonic magical reserves for his petty spells.

’Well I guess it doesn’t matter what you think then.’ Arthur thought as a small smirk formed on his face.

As the tour finished up, Arthur gave a wave in Zatanna’s direction as she split from the others and began walking the girls to their own rooms. She was the only one Arthur really cared to speak with at the time as he owed his whole life from a year ago onwards to her and he wasn’t about to forget that anytime soon. Soon Arthur was shown to his own room which he quickly dropped off his suitcase of clothes in and quickly departed, not even bothering to unpack. He had an entire school year to get settled but at the moment he needed a bit of air so he begun to make his way towards the front of the building where he moped sat parked, waiting for him to return. Before getting to far down the hallway Arthur noticed the Frenchman coming out of his room. Arthur avoided eye-contact as much as he could and hoped he wouldn’t try to strike up a conversation.

I cant wait to get this going

Young Justice est. 2020

Name - Arthur McGavin

Alias - Speed Demon

Age - 17

Sponsor - Zatanna

Personality - Determined, Stoic, Cool

Experience - A year

Powers - Arthur is a master of anything with wheels or an engine. Through magic and skill he is able to deduce how most vehicles work in minutes and drive them with unrivalled skill in no more than an hour. Speed Demon also possesses the perk/curse of having a demon bonded to him which gives him access to vast reserves of magic and an annoying voice in his head. Arthur, on his own, is capable of summoning a infernal force field, firing Eldrich blasts and having any vehicle he rides befit a Knight of Hell. The demon, known as L'Iegos, has quite a few powers of his own such as his demonic armour, hellfire breath, Lance of the forsaken (an incredibly strong lance capable of being summoned in the blink of an eye), super strength, summonable fireballs and magic platforms Along with the same vehicle shaping power as Arthur.

Weaknesses - L'Iegos is very durable but iron and holy weapons will burn his skin should it come into contact and he is incapable of entering or being summoned in holy sites. Arthur has all the strengths an weaknesses that come with being human.

Appearance - Arthur is built like a lamp post; tall, skinny and strong enough to stop most things thrown his way. He has tanned skin and short raven black hair.

BRIEF Bio - Arthur was raised in your average american household with two parents that he tends to avoid talking about if he can help it. He always had a fascination with cars and dreamed of becoming a car designer when he grew up but that passion faded away when he hit his teens and actually began driving. Arthur gained a dimmer outlook on the world and began street racing for thrills and pink slips. He became so good at his trade in only a year of (legal) driving that people began hiring him to drive everything from muscles cars to motorized rickshaws in order to win bets and make money for themselves.
One fateful day while in a motorcycle race, Arthur was getting ready to cross the finish line when what could only be described as a monster came out of nowhere and knocked Arthur off of the motorcycle and sprawling onto the streets. In pursuit of the monster were three people: John Constantine, Young Zatanna Zatara and L'Iegos the demon, summoned by Constantine to help battle their foe. The fight was nearing its end and with a few words the two magic users used their combined powers to send the monster back to whence it came. It was at this time Zatanna noticed Arthur who had managed to get nearly cut on half by the wheel of the motorcycle and was losing blood fast. Zatanna panicked as she knew she couldn’t just leave the boy there but she also knew that her healing spells weren’t strong enough to save him from his fate so she opted to try something that she had heard of in a story. Like the mighty Merlin, Zatanna bound the already summoned Estargon to the boy in order to save his life much like how Merlin saved Jason Blood from death by bonding him to Etrigan. Arthur was saved but now he was forever changed but eventually Arthur got used to demon’s presence and found that he could ‘aim’ it at those who did wrong and use his curse for greater purpose. A year after his unfortunate event, Arthur was approached by Zatanna to join a new division of the Justice League called Young Justice which he reluctantly accepted.

Notes - [this can be how you met your mentor, just don't get too long winded]

Sample Post

Arthur rode down the street on his moped. While he was a fan of driving fast, he liked to take his time sometimes and enjoying the crisp cold air of Blühaven as a whole. Sadly today wouldn’t be as peaceful as Arthur had hoped as he saw police cars and a apparent getaway car heading in his direction.

As the car drew closer, Arthur's moped began to change. The plastic and metal frame began to twist and contort, the muffler began backfiring before outright spewing flames and a sinsiter looking face formed itself on the front of the scooter. Slowly the speed diffrence between the two vehicles became shorter and shorter until the getaway car and Arthur were in tandem speeds.

At first the driver assumed they would pass the kid on the metal looking moped but once he realized that Arthur was now in prusuit, he englightend his associates who began firing madly in Arthur's directon. Arthur deaftly dodged the bullets by Shaply leaning towards the car and, in turn, smashing into the side of the car leaving a sizable dent. With this oppernuinty Arthur summoned his infernal sword and jabbed it into the door in order to scale the car and get to it's roof. Luckily the thug's aim was ambysmal due to their frightened state but Arthur knew he neded to act fast if he wanted to get out of this without injury.

Once on top of the car Arthur jabbed his sword down into cabin. He then began frantically cutting away at the metal. The criminals at this point were beyond scared as a meancing sword poked and tore at their car, trying to get in. The driver quickly pulled over and made a run for it just as Arthur had hoped. The other ruffians soon followed suit in an attempt to get away but Speed Demon was already upon them by letting loose a flury of eldritch blasts from his hands while saying "ldritchea lastsba" as quite as he could.

The police showed up to see the thugs writhing in pain and the getaway car nowhere in sight.
