Power Rangers: Scarab Squad

Sorry the IC is not up yet, so many fucking distractions the last few days, lol. I just recently started a fantasy choose-your-own-adventure series on TikTok and it's been getting a lot of traction and taking up a lot of my time. I'll embed a YT vid where I compiled the first three parts, though there are eight parts currently up on TikTok.



IC should be up soon. Also, just to clarify, I am locating Angel Grove in place of Pacific Palisades, a large neighborhood in the Westside region of Los Angeles. So, basically, in this world Pacific Palisades does not exist and Angel Grove instead sits in its geographic location. Below I will link a video showing the mansion Zeek lives in, which is owned by his tech billionaire uncle, Billy Cranston (yes I am stealing his name and visage from MMPR XD). The video also gives some good views of the geographic area we'll be using as Angel Grove.

Here's a blank one, just hit quote and then copy and paste it with the codes and everything into a word doc, fill out your own info, and then paste it in the CS thread whenever you're ready XD. I just left the color codes for Fire Brick in there, so just replace that with a text color closely related to your Scarab color.

Power Rangers: Scarab Squad

Looks good! Something came up, but I'm finally able to sit down at my computer uninterrupted so I'm working on the intro post now. I'm just gonna make it a shorter one to get the RP moving.

Power Rangers: Scarab Squad

My char sheets are done, IC post should be along tomorrow.

Power Rangers: Scarab Squad

Sorry it took so long, main thread is up. I still need to finish my characters and the intro post, but I got my partial sheets up. I figured there is no need for a powers section since all our suits are pretty similar, and Zeek will explain how they work during the intro post.

Biography

Zeek’s parents weren’t around a lot during his early childhood, as his father was an overseas archeologist and his mother worked long hours as a forensic scientist with the LAPD. Because of this, he spent a lot of time around his Uncle Billy, who ran a company called CranstonTech. This is what sparked his early interest in computers.

His first username online was ZeekTheSleek9000, and all his friends started calling him Zeek instead of Abraham and it just kind of stuck. As he grew older, he began delving into hacking and had a few encounters with law enforcement.

When he was twelve, he spent a Summer in juvenile detention for hacking into the server used by a group of local politicians and leaking some compromising information found within. While it was later used as evidence in a criminal trial against the politicians, Zeek still technically broke the law to leak it.

Since then he has been back to juvenile detention multiple times, always for something he views as the greater good and which often results in indictments or resignations of corrupt individuals.

His antics and wise-cracking attitude have often earned him the ire of bullies in school, so he began learning a variety of martial arts to defend himself.

He spent a few weeks visiting his father in Egypt during the Summer before his senior year of high school, where the cloaked Scarabs stowed away in his bags, and the rest is history.

Musical Theme

Personality

Iris used to be a somewhat kind person, but after being forced to bond with the Black Scarab against her will, her old personality was completely absorbed into the AI, forming a newer, darker, sadistic persona. She can mimic her old self for the sake of keeping her new powers a secret from associates, but the new Iris is pure evil.

Talents & Skills

Mixed Martial Arts
Expert Marksmanship

Expert Pilot

Biography

Iris enlisted in the Air Force right out of high school, serving as a pilot for a few years. After returning home from active duty, she joined the LAPD as a patrol officer while attending night school to earn a degree in criminal justice. This eventually opened the door for her to become a homicide detective.

Her life was going just the way she wanted it to when one day the Black Scarab came crawling up to her while she was jogging in a park. After being forcibly bonded, she became what the media labeled as the Dark Ranger, and any trace of the old Iris seemed completely gone.

<Snipped quote by CaptainManbeard>

While I know the Metallic thing is most likely a reference to the Metallic Armor, between it and the beetle theme I can't help but think of Big Bad Beetleborgs and Beetleborgs Metallix

@Duthguy

I was actually envisioning it being extra nano-mass that forms additional armor segments around them and increases the energy in the main Scarabs' Power Cores. While this isn't exactly what I had in mind, it's vaguely similar to the Lion Fire Armor power-up:

That leaves a bunch open! But, let's go with White, simple and awesome in its own right.

@Keyblade87

Okay, cool!
