Zordon, an alien White Ranger from another time and galaxy, crash landed on Earth after imprisoning Rita Repulsa and her minions on the moon one hundred years ago in the year 1915. Aging more rapidly on Earth, Zordon's robotic assistant Alpha 5 helped to preserve his essence within the technology of their crashed ship/HQ. A routine moon landing in 2015 saw the release of Rita and her goons and soon a battle for the planet had begun. Zordon chose five teenagers to fight for the fate of the world against Rita and her forces. Now, two years after becoming Rangers it's time for them to ascend. The first of them to rise to another level of power will become the Dragon Ranger. From that point it'll only get more interesting. This is loosely based on what they get in terms of Thunder Zords.
This cuts out the Green Ranger and the White Ranger. I know that's gonna bum somebody out but the idea any color Ranger can become the Dragon Ranger and be the heavy hitter is a lot more interesting from my point of view.
Rita Repulsa will be around the Rangers' age in terms of maturity even if she's a few hundred years old. I always imagined her looking more like this:
Her putties will also resemble a version of an old Batman enemy called Clayface. They'll be more monstrous and able to shape their appendages into weapons:
This game will be a nice medium between the campy classic series and the more gritty and R rated fan film of recent success. Language isn't something I'm used to in all of my games, however I can deal with damn, ass, bitch, dick, and shit. Think of something on the CW like Arrow or the Flash, with a tad bit more freedom with language since you can't use all the ones I listed on regular tv. Drugs, suggestive themes, etc. are also open for exploration story wise and in this continuity if a Ranger wants to be gay that's perfectly fine.
Get ready for it...
