[@CaptainManbeard] my man, I love the story lines you're laying out. I take it we're meant to have a hand in writing the story, since you referred to your players as co-writers instead?


Anyway, lemme lay down my character idea, in general terms: southern himbo gearhead. Big, sweet, and seems dumb in some ways, but he gets machines on an intuitive level. 

Maybe he starts to learn how the alien ship works, and helps repair it(guided by our Zordon).

If there's an arc where we lose the nano-suits, maybe he builds a simpler, mechanical version to get by, using his knowledge of alien tech and human mechanical engineering. 

Let me know what would be going too far.

Haha, thanks! I'm a writer, so I am thoroughly passionate about deeply-woven narratives :D. Here's the cover of my upcoming novel! This is Mallory Dane tapping into his Blue Phoenix powers, and yes, the aura was inspired by Dragon Ball, haha.

And I like your character idea, perhaps his temp suit is more akin to Iron Man's earlier tech with visible separation of the metal plates and such. Though, I would advise against playing him as [i]too[/i] dumb, as he would need a sharp enough mind to comprehend and utilize the alien tech and programming languages of the ship. His intelligence would likely need to be on par with a Starfleet Engineering officer, for instance. Perhaps he starts off as "dumb," but that's only because he hasn't truly applied himself yet? Perhaps becoming a Power Ranger gives him a bit of a mental boost and also helps jumpstart his motivation to improve himself. You could also play him as autistic and use that as an explanation for why he's incredibly intelligent about some stuff but completely ignorant about other stuff. Just an idea :D.
