Post #1.1: Beginnings...

Everything on the roads was electricity powered now. Emergency vehicles and police hovered about ten feet above the ground. The advances in technology seemed meaningless when otherworldly creatures began attacking the west coast metropolitan area weeks earlier. Tommy Oliver’s storage bunker had been raided by an unknown enemy and several weapons and artifacts from his past were taken including the Sword of Darkness, the staff of Rita Repulsa, various zord blueprints, as well as a reconstructed Red Lightning Turbozord. The thief remained in the shadows after giving the items to Scorpina, who had set up shop in a cave system on the edge of a cliff very few people knew the location of. Ever since, Scorpina has unleashed bastardized versions of old Power Ranger enemies trying to perfect the dark magics of the staff.

After the incident at the bunker, Tommy Oliver reached out to Billy Cranston and the two began preparing for what was to come. With the Aquitarean starship of Cranston’s, the two men quickly built a new HQ underground close to where the old command center was located in the 90’s. With a mostly reconstructed Dragonzord and Red Dragon Thunderzord they knew where to start when fashioning another group of Rangers. The Dragon Morphers were tied to the technology in the new Ranger’s zords and had the appearance of serpentine smart watches mixed with slap bracelets. While the zords were not completed, the morphers and the suits as well as the Dragon Daggers were ready to go. Billy was just waiting for Tommy’s word to let the morphers choose their owners.

On a day like so many others, Gabriel stormed out of Mr. Cranston’s room and bumped into Dr. Oliver at Angel Grove High School. The bell had rang, and Gabe grabbed his red flannel jacket and backpack and was the first student out the door. He was so quick to get out as fast as he could that he walked directly into Dr. Oliver and dropped his backpack.

“Where’s the fire?” Oliver asked as the kid picked up his things and hurried off.

As the teenagers exited the room of Cranston, Dr. Oliver stepped in. It was the end of the school day. They locked eyes and Oliver nodded. It was time.



Gabriel was at the local park. His motor bike was spray painted and messed with before he could get to it in time after school. A few guys on the football team liked to break his stuff because they were under the impression his parents would just buy him new things to replace it. That wasn’t always the case, but for no reason at all some of the same football players were also at the park and in a mood to start trouble. Gabe was just trying to walk around a bit and get out of his head, maybe try to find something cool off of the regular paths. He saw what appeared to be a red lizard of some kind on the ground, but then the football players came up and shoved him.

“Thought I smelled tacos…” the one idiot commented.

Gabe was on the ground now. Outnumbered three to one, suddenly he felt something crawl up his hand and arm. He looked down at his hand and it looked as if a red robot-lizard dragon thing had wrapped itself around his wrist. And in another strange twist… now a strange grey shape-shifting creature approached the teens making an awful gargling noise as it breathed life.

“Timothy… what the hell is THAT THING?!” another football player screamed as the three of them took off up the path.

“Great… first my bike and now THIS thing… I’m not going down without a fight.” Gabriel thought as the eyes of the dragon bracelet lit up and transformed him into the Red Dragon Force Ranger.

“THAT wasn’t expected…” he thought out loud. As the putty monster approached, Gabe noticed some sort of weapon on his side, “Sweet, some kinda dagger… okay monster man, you want a piece of this?!” he yelled charging at the creature.

Power Rangers - Legacy of the Dragon

The year was 2030. Over three decades had passed since the Power Rangers had to protect the city of Angel Grove. Most of them had moved on with their lives. Tommy Oliver had earned a doctorate in paleontology, and in 2004 had a hand in the creation of the Dino Thunder Power Rangers in Reefside, California. He tried getting married, but always let the life of being a Ranger interfere. He moved back to Angel Grove years ago, and bought the land where Zordon’s old command chamber used to be located. He still had technology and artifacts from his time as different Rangers over the years, and it was kept in an underground bunker beneath his home. Dr. Oliver had got another teaching job as a science teacher, this time at Angel Grove High. To his surprise, Billy Cranston had also recently moved back to the area and was also teaching at the school.

Everything seemed to be going well, until it wasn’t. Someone or something had broken into the bunker of Tommy Oliver and swiped many of the items being stored there. Within weeks, it was clear that some alien or madman had started creating monsters. Oliver and Cranston used the remaining tech and their connection to the Morphin Grid to create another team of Power Rangers to protect Angel Grove and the rest of the world. Within weeks a portion of the city was decimated, but then the Dragon Force Rangers hit the scene.

The two elder Rangers were both pushing sixty and too old to do any fighting themselves so they did the best they could with what they had. The Dragon Morphers were somewhat mystical and technological in nature and sought out the students who would wield them. They would become the Red Dragon Ranger, the White Dragon Ranger, the Green Dragon Ranger, and the Black Dragon Ranger. Using designs from the Red Dragon Thunderzord as well as tech from the Dragonzord of the Green Ranger, four serpentine Dragonzords were built each with a secondary humanoid fighting mode.

Who were the enemies causing chaos and creating hybrid monstrosities? An older Scorpina as well as the now adult King Sprocket of the Machine Empire, in possession of the staff of Rita Repulsa and the stolen tech of Tommy Oliver!

3.) Make sense. If we can't make heads or tails of your posts they're likely to get skipped over.

4.) Get permission before using another player's character in your posts if it involves changing the scene or making actions. Everybody will take beatings in this game in battle however, so don't get pissed if you get punched or blasted into a wall by the bad guys! Namely me or the Co-GM controlling the badguys...

5.) Problems with the game or players should be sent directly to me or the Co-GM through PM's. I don't want a bunch of bickering in the OOC.

6.) Abandoned characters will be used as NPC's or killed off within the context of the story.

7.) “I was waiting for [insert player/character] to make a move” is not how this game is played.

Power Rangers - Legacy of the Dragon

I'm going to post the rules and everything in the first IC post, and then the first post of the first episode in the second IC post. Getting everything together to post right now!

Power Rangers - Legacy of the Dragon

Red Dragon Ranger

Gabriel 🐲 Vasquez

🔴Color - RED
🔴Age - 17
🔴Face Claim –


🔴Personality – tormented, stoic, reckless, observant, self-aware

🔴Skills – Gabe is a skilled brawler but has no proper training. He’s good with tools, tries and mostly fails to work on cars, and struggles to care about school. Having been in trouble more frequently in recent years he’s become quite the escape artist having escaped the authorities on multiple occasions and running from juvenile detention centers in Stone Canyon.

🐲Background/Brief Bio –

Gabe is the son of a successful Spanish doctor and surgeon, and his mother is more of a spiritual hippy type always talking about being one with the universe. He was the second child coming in three years after his older sister, who Gabe lost in an automobile accident years earlier when they stole their parents’ car for a joyride. It completely broke their mother and she quit her job and began studying spirituality and different types of meditation and religious practices to cope. The father focused on his job and grew distant from his wife and son, and the survivor’s guilt that Gabe carried turned him into a reckless douchebag. The troubled teen became addicted to the adrenaline rush he got from getting into fights, bucking authority, and stealing cars. After his last stint in juvenile detention in Stone Canyon, he was told by the counselors if he makes one more mistake he’ll go to trial as an adult and serve actual jail time.

It was Dr. Oliver connecting with the young man that really changed his outlook. The former Ranger saw something in the kid that reminded him of himself at a younger age. In time, Gabe will deal with his demons with the help of his new friends and teammates.

🔴Villain of Choice – DEADWOOD: I’m a sucker for anything with plant powers… plus this guy can phase through stuff like a ghost. How badass is that?!? Slab some cybernetic implants on him and let’s reuse this guy ASAP…


🐲Notes – Just to be clear, I never meant for anyone to really be a team leader or over anyone else in the context of the story. We’re all on the same team, but we’re not as close knit and nowhere close to a unit.

🐲Sample Post –

Gabriel didn’t wear the nice clothes his parents provided for him. Looking like a model in a clothing advertisement wasn’t in his wheelhouse. The ripped and dirtied jeans and t shirts he wore on weekends were much more comfortable and matched the minor cuts and bruises he sported. And his grandfather’s red flannel jacket was always near him. He looked like he belonged in a garage; he just didn’t have the smarts to do it full time. And the young man was too stubborn to let anyone teach him. He insisted on doing everything on his own, not trying to be the privileged douche that people expected him to be. Gabe was most definitely a delinquent; he just kept to himself was all. He didn’t care for the Angel Grove High School football team or the cheerleaders who loved his hair.

“Can I run my fingers through your hair, Gabriel? Just once?” a young girl asked wearing an Angel Grove High cheerleading uniform at the desk behind Gabe.

“No.” he said very bluntly.

He had just got back from a three month stint in juvenile detention in Stone Canyon for joy riding in a stolen golf cart. Gabriel came into the school year late, winter was fast approaching, and the last time somebody had their hand in his hair was in a pretty intense fight in the cafeteria at the detention center. Around this many people his own age he was on edge. There was always somebody gunning for him in the detention centers because they thought there was something to gain in bullying the son of a successful doctor. Originally he had only been sentenced to a month at juvie and twenty-five hours of community service, but after multiple fights it was extended to three months and some change. This was the last class of the day. He couldn’t even be bothered to remember the girl’s name behind him. She and Gabriel had went to school together and had classes together for the last several years, her name was Beth. Her on-again off-again boyfriend Timothy was two rows of desks to the left of them didn’t seem amused.

“Pleeeeeease.” She insisted.

“You don’t wanna touch his hair, babe. He’s probably got fleas!” Timothy joked.

Just before the bell rang she went for it. Gabriel heard her talking under her breath and grabbed her hand as he quickly turned.

“Don’t. Touch. Me.” Gabe said getting loud.

“Gabriel’s getting handsy with cheerleaders, Mr. Cranston!” Timothy yelled, knowing it was a lie.

“Mister Vasquez…” the older Billy Cranston began to say before Gabe released the girl’s hand.

The bell rang, and Gabe grabbed his red flannel jacket and backpack and was the first student out the door. He was so quick to get out as fast as he could that he walked directly into Dr. Oliver and dropped his backpack.

“Where’s the fire?” Oliver asked as the kid picked up his things and hurried off.

I wanted to try and get this OOC going at least before the weekend was over. All of the Rangers can go ahead and repost your characters in the Character Tab. As far as the episodes go, some of them may be subject to change when I hear back from @Double about what we’re gonna do with the badguys. The idea is to make this more like the Power Rangers comics rather than the campier television show; it just takes a committed cast. I’m super psyched for this.

GM Notes 12/17/22 – IC has been posted! Also, since he's taking care of the villains and heroic ally, I went ahead and made @Double the new Co-GM!

Power Rangers - Legacy of the Dragon

Had to stay home today cause my face is swelling up and my left eye is almost swollen shut. Gonna try and get the OOC done today and see about those images I was getting recolored...

If anybody wants to chat about the game or talk shop just remember you can get me on Discord, and we have a server of our own!
