Beast Wars?

Alright, well that makes 3, so far! At my day job atm, but tonight I'll go ahead and create an OOC and such.

Beast Wars?

I'd be down for this as reruns of Beast Wars is how I got into Transformers. Would we just playing as Maximals? Or would we get the option to also play as a Predacon. As for the wildlife of the planet, I would say we should have Earth animals and maybe some aliens mixed in. Maybe that could be a plot point trying to figure out what brought all these different species to the planet? Anyways, I'm really interested in this.

@Martian

Well my original post does say both protags and antags, so, yes! I'll even let players have 2 total characters!

I'm not prepared to start any player polling yet; I'd want to have the game more established, such as with more committed players (ideally at least 4, but I'd be willing to start with 3) and an OOC set up. Buuuuuut, your idea of mixing wildlife gives me what could be an interesting idea for a larger plot... No, I will not go into detail; just like the original series, y'all get to just figure stuff out in real time :P

Anyway, don't worry about submitting your suggestions yet, I'll need to see if there's enough interest to warrant an OOC and character sheet, first :P

Beast Wars?

I'm toying with the idea of a Transformers: Beast Wars rp.

All original characters, essentially a different bunch of characters (both protagonists and antagonists) finding themselves in a similar situation to the characters of Beast Wars; stranded on an alien world and coming into conflict for one reason or another.

I'm leaning more towards an alien planet, though, instead of Earth. Also considering a poll for the kind of planet we'd be working with (only with committed players; don't sign up only to leave because your idea wasn't popular enough >:( ) and the kind of wildlife running around.

Power Rangers: Crystalizers

He'd thought he looked cool, maybe even intimidating, in that moment, but, his confidence soon turned to confusion.

Did... Did I actually scare them off?

He noticed some others were caught up in the... Whatever was going on, and chose to run after them- maybe they were taking hostages? As he caught up, occasionally taking swings at Muddies along the way, he slid to a stop with the rest of them.

Before he understood what was going on, a red crystal did a few laps around him before turning into a device on his wrist! He decided to just roll with the instructions they were given, rather than get skewered. He pressed the button, spun the wheel, and struct a pose as he called, "Crystalize!!"

The Morphing happened, and he looked over himself, impressed. Not just with the outfit, but the feeling; the energy swelling inside himself! He almost thought he could take them all on, now, but with the others on his side as well? "Oh, hohoho! These guys are about to have a really bad day!"

@Giskhey, thanks for thinking of me, but this was so long ago I kinda lost interest...

Power Rangers: Crystalizers

Aiden couldn't help but think to himself, as he flew through the air propelled by his bike exploding, Well, this took a turn...

He gritted his teeth and groaned as he tried to recover from the fall, mostly hearing a high pitched buzzing in his ears.

As his hearing started to come back, and he dragged himself back to his feet, he locked eyes on Maskaraid. #&$% this clown! He picked up and clutched what used to be the tail-pipe on his bike, and called out to him. "Hey, you big ugly jerk! I don't know what your problem is, but you and your pals need to get your heads straight and beat it!"

Power Rangers: Crystalizers

The kids were having a great time, now that he was helping them rob the booth operator of his precious tickets! They were giggling uncontrollably, when suddenly, just as he was hitting yet another "mole", the ground shook, and there was an explosion! Pausing for a moment, he looked around when he realized the explosion was somewhere else.

Some kind of monster was making demands of the crowd, but it didn't seem to like the response- It's minions began to attack!

Some of these things were coming their way! "Oh, no..." Aiden looked over his shoulder to the now frightened children- there parents hadn't figured out where they were, yet. The booth operator was long gone. He looked back, steeling himself for what he'd have to do, his knuckles popping from his tightening grip on the mallet. "... Stay behind me, kids!"

He picked up a tall stool as the Muddies closed the distance, and quickly clobbered 3 of them with the mallet! They shook, stunned by the blow, but more were coming! Aiden crouched into a heavy swing of the still, tripping up 4 more! Another 2 mallet strikes, and he yanked the rope for forming lines lose, tossing the other end to the kids, who dutifully took hold, abandoning the ticket haul.

"Come on, we'll find your parents, but first we're getting you somewhere safe!" He led them along, clobbering Muddies as they went, finally passing them off to a security guard, apparently one of the parents!

"Thank you, young man, now get to safety!" and with that they scampered off, the kids in tow, and his attention was caught by the flashing light reflecting on- "Hey, it's that monster guy! He must be the one I saw before!" The monster calling itself Maskaraid was attacking a pair of young ladies. "I've got to help them!" In that moment, he looked at the monster, and hesitated at the ruined mallet in his hands. "...But how?"

As if struck by inspiration, he turned, and looked at the parking lot. With a deep breath, and a "...OK." He sprinted, kicking, hitting and tackling Muddies as they crossed his path, until he reached his bike. He put on his helmet, revved the engine, and drove through at reckless speed, knocking down more Muddies as he went, at one point stopping to skid in a semi-circle, knocking a group down and saving some more people they'd cornered.

Once he'd found the Monster again, He revved the engine once more, and popped a wheely as he charged the menace!

Aiden had been stretching his legs in the parking lot; this was normally his favorite spot for just... Relaxing, but today it was crowded with the Youth Center event. He stood leaning against his bike, just watching the crowded scene suspiciously, debating whether to brave the horde or move on.

There was a glint of... Something just up in the hills... Some activity, too. Eh, it was probably just carnival workers setting up fireworks displays, or something.

With a sigh, he shrugged it off and decided to go ahead and see what fun there was to be had- who knows? Maybe he'd find something interesting at the job fair between games?

He tried to be discreet as he gave a "fairy woman" an appraising glance- she was too busy having a selfie with someone else to notice, and it was probably better that way. No doubt she worked here, like a cosplayer, so any "reciprocating" was going to be a matter of professionalism. Now, where's the whack-a-mole? He was betting the kids would appreciate a leg-up against the booth operators!

Power Rangers: Crystalizers

(reads the other character sheets) Oh, there's going to be some fun interactions in this bunch XD @Akayaofthemoon your character is so PRETTY!! And the personality will make a great blue ranger!

Aiden Gregor


_{Aiden Colm Gregor / 20 / Red Crystal Ranger / Ruby}

A P P E A R A N C E

Aiden has a very lean build that some mistake for "scrawny", and are amazed he can keep control of his motorcycle. He's 5'10, but because of his narrow build people somehow think he's taller? Bullies, incidentally, also mistook "scrawny" for "weak", and, while he's not exceptionally strong, he's pretty quick, and has high stamina. Meanwhile, the usual set to his face falsely gives onlookers the impression that he's always annoyed about something- this isn't true at all, and those who stick it out through the discomfort of small talk find out that that's just his face. As for his eyes, they often get mistaken for blue, when his eyes are in fact grey.

S T Y L E

When he's not in full leather riding gear, he has a favorite worn denim jacket with several pins and buttons(that he claims a relative gave him from their "punk rocker" phase). he's also fond of his shemagh scarf, though sometimes he'll leave it at home and where a bandana for a headband instead. old solid color t-shirts, denim jeans and leather bike boots; his fashion is simple, and that's the way he likes it.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

• Direct - Aiden isn't one to mince words; if he has something to say, he just says it, plain and simple. Better to give someone an honest opinion than waste time and breathe only to be misunderstood.
• Impulsive - Sometimes he doesn't think before he talks, which can rub people the wrong way. Furthermore, he often thinks he's being proactive, rather than, well, escalating a situation needlessly, such, say, putting a bully/braggart in their place...
• Secure - Insults often bounce off of him. He values action more than words, so if he's been in a fight, you can be sure it has nothing to do with what the other party said, but what they were doing.

F A C T S

• Aiden can't stand bullies, and pretty much anyone who thinks they can just pick on others or push people around. It's the one area where he get's himself into trouble, and it's gotten him branded as somebody who "doesn't work well with others".
• He's an introvert; he hates parties and usually just doesn't have much to say, which has him pigeon-holed as a "loner".
• Before Ranger life was dropped on him, he spent a lot of his time working in a bike shop, occasionally borrowing tools that somehow end up as improvised weapons, defending himself from people holding a grudge.

R A N G E R

Why is Aiden a good fit with the Rangers? He's actually pretty good on a team once the leader/boss has earned his respect, and shows his loyalty by backing them up when there's trouble. Teammates/friends can count on him to put himself between them and a problem when trouble starts. He's also handy with a set of wrenches, and has experience as a mechanic.
