There is a story, on a planet far from the solar system you know where a group of people stood alone against the forces of darkness. A story that begins with Zordon of Eltar.

The story of the Power Rangers.


Granted powers from a separate dimension known as the Morphing Grid, Zordon sought to prevent the forces of the Xalantian Imperium from continuing their conquest of the galaxy. Fascinated by the power he wielded, the empress of evil, Xala, soon found her hunger for something more than material conquest. It would be this desire to access and acquire the grid that made her war against Zordon endless and ravenous in nature. Eventually, Zordon saw all of his friends fall before him and realized that the only way to save the grid was to sacrifice his world in the process.

A bitter irony.

He needed the grid to save his world, but to save the grid he had to allow his world to die.

The Power Grid vanished and so too did the tools to access it. This created a ripple effect, as more factions who sought to dominate the universe came to power and the might of the Xalantian Imperium faded into obscurity. Xala’s fanatics, fervent and loyal, scoured galaxy-after-galaxy in search of what their empress once salivated over. What was once a megalomaniacal fantasy became a devotion, a framing that they could only gain power like they once held when they found and captured the energies of the grid. And for millions of years… the grid has remained quiet.

Until today.

As you can infer by the above, this is one of two RP concepts I'll be trying to GM this Fall Season. I can field questions, but mostly I am testing the waters to see if anyone out here would be interested in this. I generally swing toward private games or games with known players I've engaged with in the past, but this will be one of the attempts I make at a fairly public game with no taken seats.

I've tried to run two games with this concept before but both have stalled out early and I'm hoping third time's the try.

Basically in concept it is a Mighty Morphin' Reboot with a modern flare with me incorporating my own Sentai designs among other features. I am currently looking for people who lean toward certain high school archetypes with a power rangers flare. Typical Red-Blue-Black-Yellow-Pink are the current configurations, though largely if you like a certain color we can shop things around. Ideally three male characters and two female, but that's not fixed either.

The first arc will be what we see as the opening episodes of a season one.

I should say that if your concept is just a gimmick, I'm less likely to feel comfortable with accepting the sheet when I release the OOC and sheet format.

The crux is making a character dynamic that gels with others, but this is also Power Rangers and not Euphoria so keep in mind that you can have layers without having an exceedingly dark backstory. These characters are starting points. I am currently unsure if I will be applying for a individual ranger myself, but I have to see where everyone is at with concepts beyond color.

I think I'm in "throw myself at a bunch of RPs and see what actually works" mode right now, but also in kind of a toku mood because of Zeztz, so... I guess I'll see how badly I screw this up I guess?

And I guess we'll go with... Black, I guess? Black sounds good. Female black ranger.

I would recommend thinking of what kind of teenaged archetype, character upbringing, and overall personality more than wondering if you like turquoise or lavender more.

If I made a playable character in the main five I would gravitate as the antithesis of the leader/red, the techie/nerd savant type, or perhaps the one who doesn't fit in at all. I always seem to like the more "lancer" type characters, which in my experience have the most fun when they are particularly moody.

Okay i'm going for smart guy - blue ranger

Booboo Stewart for the fc

Skylar "Kyle" Vass is his name

He's not going to be your typical shy smart guy but more taking some notes from Ninja Storm - he presents himself as something of a doofus, very much a believer is "trusting the process" as that's the foundation of his whole concept. He's as much of a tech wiz as he is an avid extreme sports "athlete". He's also gonna be a martial arts practitioner (but not full on black belt or anything). He's got a totally kyle exterior personality (what most see).

I am using a mixture of my old Slice of Life CS (which Ken will recognize) and the last power rangers one, built similarly to this:



17 - #38B6C4 - Blue Ranger - Affluent Loner - 5 ' 9 " - FC: Virginia Gardner



All of my friends stick up their noses
They ask me where my money is
And where does it go once I've spent it

And yes, those are song lyrics that give a glimpse into the character's mindspace underneath the gif.

No slots are taken exactly, but this is a smaller turnout than I expected.

I want to join so badly since the last Rangers RP died early, but I wasn't sure I had the bandwidth.

I'm not saying I wanted to poach players, but I'm not not saying it.

Also, you can't poach players from a dead/abandoned game.
