This is a legitimate Interest Check. One of those "I'm not sure if i want to run it, but let's see if enough people are interested." ones.
Pretty much, you all know the Mythos of Power Rangers:
"Alpha, Rita is attacking. Get me 5 Teenagers with Attitude!"
But this time is different:
You awaken in a back alley, your memories are weird, constantly changing. You remember you were a Power Ranger... But what that means, you have no idea... You stumble out into the streets, sunny California. The dulcet tones of UB40's "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" drifts out of a nearby boombox. Kids are rollerblading down the street. A business man passes you talking on a mobile phone the size of a brick, that has a wire going to his suitcase. You pass a poster advertising that on Sunday Night, Lex Luger will be fighting Yokozuna for the WWF Championship at Summerslam. Seeing a Newspaper Dispenser box on the sidewalk, you approach:
"Megatropolis Herald: 28th August 1993"
"Japan to return man to moon for first time in over 20 years"
This is all oddly familiar. You look around and see "Angel Grove First Bank" You remember Angel Grove. There was a Wizard who lived outside of Angel Grove. Your childhood memories are slowly being replaced by those of you growing up in the early 80's. You need answers. Only the wizard can help you. Stumbling out into the desert, you manage to approach the Wizard's House and are greeted at the door by a strange robot
"But NOBODY see's the Wizard, not no way, not no-how!"
After enough nagging, he relents, you are taken inside and Are greeted with a strange, yet beautiful and somehow reassuring sight. You approach the large tube, expecting to see a face, but instead, the tube ascends and out of it steps A beautiful, older woman. She greets you as Udonna the Snow Witch of Angel Grove. She asks about your Ranger heritage, but assures you that there are no Power Rangers as there is no need to be worried. Suddenly the alarms blare, you all rush to the Viewing Globe. Just in time to see the lid being lifted off of a large dumpster on the moon by a pair of astronauts. Lights explode out of it, before A Demon bursts from it. The astronauts scatter as he begins to speak "Ahhh, after 10,000 years i'm free. It's time to rebuild Queen Bansheera's Castle!" Wasting no time, Udonna turns to Alpha.
"Alpha, fetch me 4 more overbearing and overemotional Humans."
"Oh no, not Teenagers, anything but that!"

Pretty much, this is a reimagining of the Power Rangers Mythos, with the following rules:
1) The Party is the only team of Power Rangers.
2) The classic characters still exist, they just never became Rangers.
3) Characters will not be filling the same roles as they did previouly. (E.G. If Jason does become a Power Ranger, he would be Dino Thunder Yellow, or RPM Black. He will NEVER become Mighty Morphin Red.)
4) The Other Ranger Powers will exist in the form of Ranger Keys that the party can collect.
