Power Rangers: Galactic Knights (power rangers edge20 system, interest check)

[ShadowFox89]

Arcadios is a peaceful planet, hidden away from the rest of the galaxy. An earth like world of lush jungles, vibrant forests, and an expansive ocean, it is a veritable paradise world. For thousands of years, the Galactic Knights operated from Arcadios. With the protection of the Knights, anyone who sought to bring harm to the planet was swiftly dealt with.

But peace is never long for the galaxy. Pandemios, ruled by Emperor Gehens, has been expanding it's reach for over a decade now. Only recently has the Dread Emperor discovered Arcadios and while his fleets have yet to be seen approaching the planet, the Knights fear it is only in time that he will bring his forces to bear down on them.


Power Rangers: Galactic Knights will be a system game using Renegade Studios Power Rangers system. The game setting itself will take place outside the main line Canon of Power Rangers- As far as the galaxy knows Rita Repulsa is still sealed in her dumpster, Zordon is dormant, etc. While there are other ranger teams across the galaxy, they are mostly confined to their own planets.

The game will take place primarily on Arcadios. I will be doing a full writeup of the world later on, but the cliffnotes is that Arcadios is a post-scarcity world that is seen as both a symbol of peace and a myth by much of the galaxy. It is protected by the Galactic Knights, powerful warriors chosen by the Morphin Grid to defend the planet and the galaxy at large when need be. The primary villain is Pandemios, ruled by the Dread Emperor Gehens.

Ostensibly the game will be looking for 3 to 6 players-

If there is enough interest in the game I will look at opening up the advanced color options and possibly a second group.

edit: Since we have enough interest to get a group going, please use this for a base character sheet-

Name: Character Name
Pronouns: Preferred pronouns that your character uses
Origin: All origins will be open to use, you should tie it into your character background somehow. IE, if you're antagonistic then how did you come to Arcadios?
Role: This will be the color you play, to start at least. No one will start out as a Ranger, you'll get your morpher in the first "episode". Choose a primary color you are interested in and a secondary color just in case someone else also wants your primary. Advanced spectrum options will be made available later in play.
Influence: You need to have one influence but can have up to 3 total.
Character Age: 18+, nuff said

Background: Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you end up on Arcadios? What have you done in the past that could possibly give you the heroic qualities to be chosen by the Morphin Grid? Please don't make this too long, 3-4 paragraphs is plenty.

Personality: What does your character like? Hate? What would they lay their life down to protect and what would line would they never cross?

Physical Description: What do they look like? Tall, short, thin, wide? Hair color and length? Give me a good idea of what they look like.

Character Ons/Offs: If you've been on E long enough, this should be self explanatory

Smut levels: Power Rangers by it's nature, even in it's more serious incarnations, always has a bit of camp and silliness to it that doesn't lean to well into allowing for much smuttiness. Which category would you prefer the game going into? How much smut would you prefer to see show up (IE, monsters regularly strip down and molest the rangers or smut is only reserved for when players initiate it or somewhere between)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Arcadios is connected to the rest of the galaxy through intermediaries. Those the Knights view as trustworthy are escorted through the nebula of infant stars that Arcadios is hidden within, the exotic particle waves of the nebula keeping the planet concealed.

Contact with humanity first came about around 15 years ago. An early exploration project by the United Federation of Earth attempted a hyper-jump. The explorers crashed into Elis, one of the moons of Arcadios. Though the people of the planet generally did not trust these strangers, after all they enjoyed peace for hundreds of years due to their isolation. Princess Delphine, crown princess of Arcadios, was the one who gave the directive to treat these strangers as guests.
After the explorers from earth were brought back to full health and their ship repaired, Princess Delphine accompanied them herself on their trip back to earth. Since then, the two planets have had a limited, but plentiful, trade relationship.
Recently Arcadios has had an influx of refugees as the Empire of Pandemios expands it's reach. More and more have sought out the planet for safety and the Galactic Knights worry it will only be a matter of time before they have to take up arms on full to defend the planet.

[Steir]

Planting a flag not because I'm also interested in knowing more about the system.

[Silim]

Tentative interest flag, I'd like to know more about the system before committing to anything.

[JoanieSappho]

Interest, but you know I'm kinda fucky right now. Should get better, but

[Yukina]

Interest noted, but I have no idea how the system works.

[Thunder Splash]

Interested, but I’m not sure if I have the time for 2 RPs. But if I do when will we be able to ask about specific colors? Because I’d like to call dibs on pink if that’s open now.

[Yukina]

If we're calling colors, then I call green :)

[JoanieSappho]

Then, yellow for me

[ShadowFox89]

 Alright, looks like I have some tentative interest.

The system is called Essence20- it's loosely based on DnD5e but instead of flat bonuses to stuff you instead start with a d2 and raise it up from there (d2 to d4 to d6 etc). You have your color (each color has a different set of bonuses it gets and has something it's good at) and an origin (your race basically). You also have Influences, which function kinda like backgrounds. The system itself is from Renegade Studios (link: https://renegadegamestudios.com/game-type/role-playing-game/?_bc_fsnf=1&brand=45 ). Getting the physical copy also gets you the pdf.

I'll get a full sized RTJ sheet setup in the morning, need to head to work soon. Plan on selecting one color as primary and one as secondary, in case someone else get the primary one you picked.

[Steir]

I'll pick Blue as main. Red/Black as option 2.

[Avernale]

Is this the same system used by Power Rangers HyperForce, or is this something else?

[ShadowFox89]

It uses Renegade Studio's Power Rangers, as linked in my previous post.

[Yukina]

I'm unfortunately going to be dropping my interest then. :( I'm not really keen on dropping 39 bucks for a pdf.

Edit: Nevermind. :) Joanie was a gem and shared it!

[Steir]

Considering we're all in space, or more specifically on a planet that's not Earth. What would be the default character type players can use? Since these would determine the types of origins and influences we can pick.

:3c

So far ideas for my character...
Blue Ranger
Humanoid Robot
Origin: Enigma
Influence: Not From Around Here + Destiny

Something along the lines of "I don't even know I can do that!" sort of character.

[JoanieSappho]

Ideas so far, now that I can sit down for more than a very little bit.

Yellow Ranger
Big Sis Birb
Origin: Antagonistic
Influence: Survivor+Royalty

"The Alien Space Bird Girl Punk Who Crashed In My Garden Is Actually A Secret Space Warrior Princess?! (Vol 1)"
And she will sound like she walked out of one of the Yakuza games, whenever I remember.

[ShadowFox89]

Updated the first post with a basic sheet outline, I'm gonna go pass out now.

[Yukina]

Concept :)

Name: Pyewacket ("Pye" for short) Berri
Pronouns: She/Her
Trying-To-See-The-Bright-Side Dog Middle Sis
Origin: Warrior Born
Influence: Nomad (Primary) + Survivor

Basically an eccentric dog-woman ronin that travels space after being ousted from her family for her demeanor and love of the ladies (but mostly the latter as the breaking point when she was outed). All around a very friendly gal, but seems to get really awkward with triggers about her past.

I'll have her full sheet out soon :)

[Yukina]

Name: Pyewacket ("Pye" for short) Berri
Pronouns: She/Her
Origin: Warrior Born
Role: Green (Secondary Choice: Red)
Influence: Nomad (Primary), Survivor, Artisan
Character Age: 24


Background: Pyewacket Berri was born to a lord and his wife on the planet full of lush forests of plains that is Asiria. It was home to the Sirians, a race of canine folk that practiced a refined, yet conservative artistic culture, along with a focus on the blade. In short, it was effectively feudal era Japan, but with dogs and a few more decent bases of tech due to the travelers that came in and out to commission the planet's legendary craftspeople. It was a rather civilized world.....and that hardly matched Pyewacket.

Despite having a life already set up for her as a lord's daughter, the white-furred eccentric was simply just far too interested in exploring just about everything. It was around age nine she had dabbled across every small little craft available before settling on the flute which was a seeming relief to her father, Tom. Her mother in the meanwhile, Jarmara, always subtly encouraged her love of the world and used her clever social ways to get her husband to arrange things for her whenever her daughter happened to gain an interest under the guise that it would supposedly make her a more desired bride.

This eventually came to a head when Pyewacket's eyes were drawn to the blade, taking a full year's worth of Jarmara's badgering and Pye's pleading eyes for Tom to hire her the teaching of a wandering ronin. While it was quite clear that her father was resistant to further badgering at this point, it made quite fortunate she took very well to the art in the face of the lord thinking it would another of Pye's flights of fancy. Admittedly that would be the last time he entertained her wishes though.

By the time she was in her late teens, she admittedly had drawn the taboo looks of other women just as they had drawn her own. Eventually she had a fateful encounter in the nearby forest with one Lotus Devine that the misfortune of being watched by the flower-like woman's bodyguards. While the target of her affections was merely punished, it was enough for Pye's father to completely disown her much to Jarmara's protests. With some money slipped to her by her mother and the blade on her back, the lone Sirian has been traveling the universe for the last seven years in the search for some place she can finally call home.

Personality: Pyewacket Berri is a paragon of silliness and justice! She loves travelling the galaxy and getting to know all the planets' cultures and lovely people within them. Hence, she is always ever eager to make friends or help another person out. Pye will always strive to do the right thing even in her life is on the line or it involves dealing justice by her blade since the chains of authority have never matched well with her. However, there is always just a mote in the back of her mind that misses the lush plains and fervent duels back at her former planet of Asiria.

Physical Description: Pye is a fairly tall girl standing at 5'9" with a well-toned build. Her canine form bears mostly white fur with accents of light brown mostly across her back. She's most commonly seen wearing a blue courier's outfit (albeit a rather light one) due to her nature of most taking on deliveries with the promise of her sword skills to keep the package safe in order to make most of her cash in the various side hustles she finds herself in. On her side is a brown messenger on the right and her sheathed blade on the left, while her back has a pack where she carries along her belongs and one set of traditional wear.

Character Ons/Offs:
-Ons: Cuddling, Vanilla, More Cuddling, Body Worship, Outfit Play, Romance, Shorter Women
-Offs: Gore, Bathroom Stuff, Snuff, Anal

Smut levels: I'd prefer smut limited to pcs, though I'm certainly fine with monster-of-the-week plots that lead into kinky territory (forced outfits, body changes, strange scenarios, etc.).

[Thunder Splash]

Can someone share the book over here too. I don’t have the cash to get it right now.

[Steir]

Name: Theta 3, or Therese
Pronouns: she/her
Origin: Enigma
Role: Blue (Any for secondary)
Influence: Not From Around Here (Robot), Destiny, Ship's Crew
Character Age: 22

Background:
Theta 3 was found drifting in space by wandering scavengers of space junk, surprised to find her still functional but with most of her data corrupted or lost. Despite the lack of memories Theta 3 (eventually given the name Therese since it's easier to say) was capable of following orders and accomplishing tasks given to her, and she was allowed to stay for as long as she wanted.

Occasionally Therese would have brief flashes of individuals in colored armor battling during her charging cycles, but could not piece together what they were. The best she could describe them was the sense of familiarity or what organic beings called deja vu. In the meantime she learned how to put together parts recovered from their scavenger work into functioning gizmos, which sold much better in some planets or stations than the junk parts separately.

She eventually raised a personal request when a memory surfaced among her fragmented data - Arcadios. Therese could not remember why, but she felt that she needed to go to that planet no matter what.

Personality:
If there was anything that Therese enjoyed, it was reading any form of literature she has not read before, or working with machines (assembling and disassembling). Reading let her take in new information in an attempt to see if they would bring up a match from what little remained in her memories. Tinkering with machines on the other hand gives her an indescribably peaceful feeling.

She may come off as lacking emotions since she rarely expresses them, but Therese holds a strong debt of gratitude to the scavengers that have taken her in as one of them. She acts as a voice of reason for the crew, rarely making personal requests unless it involved things that would trigger her memories. She often ends up acting rashly when matters involving her past is involved.

Physical Description:
Theta 3 stands at a height of 5'6" and possessed a lithe and slender frame. She possesses long, light blue hair that is often tied in a ponytail so it does not get in the way of her work with machinery and usually wears overalls or a spacesuit since that proved more practical in dismantling parts recovered from space debris. Her eyes possess a yellow hue that literally lights up when receiving a command or completing a task.

Character Ons/Offs: Details available in this link.

Smut levels: Some bits of distress situations when the character gets caught by the villains. Probably more as side scenes between player characters.

[JoanieSappho]

Name: Solskrikja Wolfhrabensbur
Pronouns: she/they
Origin: Antagonistic
Role: Yellow (Green or Black)
Influence: Royalty, Survivor
Character Age: 19

Background:
Much of Solskrija's history are things that she would not speak of on Arcadios, but some facts are known. The Sverdhopur are a rather minor and barely known species, relatively new to space, and known to be very, very aggressive. Rikja, as she is more often known is, physically, the ideal image of their monogendered people, superficially feminine in appearance, tall, well muscled and possessing feathers in place of hair, but in terms of personality the young individual who crashed to the surface of Arcadios in a fragment of a wrecked vessel of unknown design has taken quite strongly to the more peaceful and relaxed society that she found themself in, even if she continues to be unusually aggressive by Arcadion standards.

Barely alive after the crash, most of Rikja's physical injuries have long since faded entirely, yet something about the events that lead to a small chunk of metal appearing in Arcadios' upper atmosphere from apparently nowhere has left her with a lingering aversion to reflective surfaces.

While trying to adapt to a peaceful life, Rikja has consistently found herself unable to truly settle down in any one thing, always seeming to need to find something else to do, something more to throw herself into.

Not known to most on Arcadios, Solskrikja is the, as far as she knows from when she last saw her, only child of the High King/Queen (Her language, along with their general way of thinking, has trouble with things being gendered) of their people, and the first half of their life saw her being raised to be the perfect child of Wolfhraben, as strong, dominating and cruel as their parent, yet while Rikja absorbed the lessons occasionally beaten into her, she was never quite comfortable with them. Not that she's any more suited to the ways of Arcadios, but somewhere in the middle seems to appeal to her far more.

Personality:
Doubt, hesitancy and anything less than an unwavering aura of being the rightful owner of everything and everyone around her were things that Rikja was harshly punished for in her earlier days, and so she has forced herself into a constant appearance of strength and confidence, even though she's hardly any of those things. Her time on Arcadios has softened her edges significantly, but she is still somewhat a bundle of nerves and imposter syndrome desperately trying to act like she knows what she's doing, coupled with a temper that gets the better of her, typically leading to a minor breakdown over her loss of control once she gets out of sight.

Physical Description:
Solskrikja stands at a height of 6'4" and possesses a lean and muscular build. The hairlike feathers on her head, and the small wings attached there, reach to just above her shoulder, a short but wide fan of feathers forms a tail behind her and a shorter, downy patch covers their crotch. Their feathers are mostly in shades of brown, but there is also an amount of grey and, more noticeably, yellow markings in a few places. Their clothing tends towards the athletic and minimal, her previous upbringing having her believe that she must be proud of her body and thus must display it as much as possible.

Character Ons/Offs: Details available in this link.

Smut levels: Non-permanent Bad Ends if the character gets caught by the villains. More as side scenes between player characters. Open to being corrupted by the bad guys at some point, both for drama and in a smut way.

[ShadowFox89]

I have Joanie as yellow birb ranger, Yukina as green doggirl (check out Sirians Yukina, they're a canon power rangers race that would fit for you), and a blue robot girl for Steir.

Thunder, Avernale, and Silim are you three still interested?

[Yukina]

.....Yukina as green doggirl (check out Sirians Yukina, they're a canon power rangers race that would fit for you)....

I'm aware of Sirians like old Doggie Kruger for sure, but didn't seem as a socially strict of a culture that I needed. :)

[Praxis]

I'd go Red or Black if there's still recruitment open?

[Yukina]

I'd go Red or Black if there's still recruitment open?

I'd personally say go for it. :) No one's submitted a sheet desiring either as a primary yet.

[Praxis]

Thanks!

Just grabbed to PDF.  I'll grind on it tonight and bang out a sheet for submission.  :)

[Avernale]

Thunder, Avernale, and Silim are you three still interested?

Oh 0_0; I'm not sure if I'm up for learning another system, and my only idea for a character was remaking the Black Ranger I made in HH&H (and Black is traditionally interchangeable with Green, so you'd need two more since the sixth ranger has no set color.  And, yes, I know RPM had both in their first five.)  If you think you're short on Rangers, I'm sure I can come up with a Pink/White (also traditionally interchangeable) but I've no interest in playing Red (traditionally the leader).

[ShadowFox89]

I'm still working on getting the planet written up, so folks have time. Just wanted to give a poke so that this doesn't get forgotten by folks.

How would people feel about the idea of hosting sheets and rolling dice off site? PlayRole has power ranger sheet templates that are easy to navigate and a dice roller that works well for the system. With E's dice roller you'd have to be making multiple dice rolls for a single action roll every time.

Point me there and I'll figure out how it works. :3c

[Yukina]

Point me there and I'll figure out how it works. :3c

Seconded :)

[Praxis]

Preliminary ideas below...

And I have no problem using another site for sheet hosting and dice rolling.

I'm on PlayRole and I can't seem to find the option for Power Ranger sheets (But I'm dim)

Name: Christmas “Chris” Carringford
Pronouns: He/Him
Origin: Kind
Role: Red (Secondary: Black, Blue)
Influence: Small Town Roots (Primary), Caretaker, Martial Artist
Character Age: 22


Background:  Need to work with the GM on this one and how I get a small town Earthling all the way to Arcadios. 

Chris doesn’t have an abundance of options for him where he grew up.  The opportunity for post-secondary education was derailed by a need to tend for his aging, ailing grandparents who raised him.


Personality: Patient | Attentive | Devoted | Stubborn | Inexperienced | Invested in community, peers, friends, family |

Physical Description: Chris exercises regularly and is fit, tall and broad.  Standing a little over 6’2” and probably spends more time on his hair than he should.  Brown hair, blue eyes.

Character Ons/Offs:
Matches the writer

Smut levels: Just shoot me a PM and we can figure it out.  I’m not hung up on much and the deal breakers are pretty standard for everyone here on E.

[Steir]

Preliminary ideas below...

And I have no problem using another site for sheet hosting and dice rolling.

I'm on PlayRole and I can't seem to find the option for Power Ranger sheets (But I'm dim)

I checked PlayRole and there are templates made by others if you search for them.

Filling them out can only be done when you make a room, so it would be a good idea for Shadow to set the room up and we fill in the sheets there for him to see.

[JoanieSappho]

So, is there anything anyone needs to do, now?

[Steir]

I'm hoping we could use a playrole room set up by Shadow so we can put the character sheets there for his perusal. :3c

[Yukina]

I'm currently just waiting on standby. :)

[ShadowFox89]

I have a 4 day weekend ahead of me, I'll be getting to this soonish.

[Silim]

Bit of a late response to the question but: Nah, my interest has dried up. Sorry.

[Idej]

Which Rangers are available?

[Rashol]

Which Rangers are available?

I'm curious as well, but no promises.

[Idej]

My biggest question is, what books are we allowing to use?

As I have an idea using Morphing Pet from Field Guide to Action and Adventur, and using the Pet mutations from GI Joe Cobra Codex too.  These are options that aren't tied to the lore of GI Joe, but wanted to know before I go crazy.

[Avernale]

Which Rangers are available?

From the looks of this thread, Black and Pink.

[Idej]

I'll take Black if no one wants to for Primary

Blue for Secondary

[Idej]

For the amount of Smut

Personally, I am up for NC, but not Extreme.  I am ok with maybe if the Ranger is in the Defeated Condition that they are now victims of the monsters and may have to fight their way out of it.  But that is all I can think of at this moment.

[Avernale]

Okay, I think I have a concept for a Pink Ranger.  Since there seem to be three girls and none of them are Pink, I thought I'd make a male character from somewhere in the Virgo constellation.  Possibly a femboy or at least trying to make him fit what I think is the Pink Ranger mold otherwise. I'm not sure I can really flesh it out until I actually see the rules, which I'm hoping someone could lend me their copy.

Also not sure I can complete it in a timely manner at this point, so no need to wait on my account.

[Rashol]

I'll bow out then. Thank you for your time. Best wishes to you all!

[Steir]

I forgot if we have already decided on what kind of zord to have. :3c

[Avernale]

Okay, how's this?

Edit: Decided I didn't like him having a military background, so I made some changes.
Edit 2: Realized I could use Augmentation after all. Background and influences now altered to revolve around the monster tongue incident.
Edit 3: Felt like having a teleporter accident send Marion to Arcadios was a bit contrived.  New ending is still pretty silly, but in a fun way. I might elaborate more on it later.

Name: Marion Prial
Pronouns: He/him
Origin: Kind
Role: Pink or Black
Influence: Survivor, Augmented
Character Age: 25

Background:
Marion Prial grew up homeless on the streets of Asteria in the Virgo constellation.   He often had to watch his parents beg in the streets and be looked down upon with disgust by their fellow Asteriae.  They would go for so long without food that they would have to scavenge and eat the remains of giant monsters destroyed by the local Ranger team.

One day, Marion managed to find a chunk of silver tongue muscle from a monster with mind-control powers.  From that day on, he had the Gift of Gab, able to sweet-talk anyone into doing his bidding.  Almost.  Certainly not on the level of the monster, he could psychically sense the most effective thing to say to someone and amplify its influence.  It was just enough to get drunk on, at least until he absolutely devastated a friend of his with a cutting remark.  After crushing their spirit and having to build them back up again, he decided he would reign in his power a bit.  Besides, if there was no telling what the Rangers might do with him if they found out.

Of course, the Gift of Gab was a blessing.  By asking the right people for the right favors, he was able to help pull his family out of poverty.  Even this had its limits, but before long they had their own home, honest jobs, and the means to acquire an education.  It wasn’t much Marion got them a start, and his parents were able to take it from there.  With the occasional motivational talk, of course.

Not knowing if this power would last forever, or even if he had actually lost it already, Marion was motivated to use his gift for good.  He began looking for all sorts of ways to help people, whether it be breaking up fights, comforting the forlorn, or negotiating on behalf of charities.  For the latter reason, in certain financial circles he earned the nickname of “The Demon’s Tongue.”

Little did he know what his brother, Fausto, was up to.  He knew of Marion’s gifts and how he got them, and it made him jealous.  After every Ranger battle, he would scour the resulting carnage for something that would give him an edge as well.  One day, he found an eyeball, but also trouble.  Minions were also trying to salvage the monster and didn’t take kindly to looters.  He put up a good fight, but was soundly beaten, his own eye gouged out for his trouble.  Amused, their leader decided Fausto could keep the monster’s eye and shoved it into his empty socket.

Fausto finally had what he wanted.  The eye not only worked, but gave him abilities he could only dream of.  And unlike his kind-hearted brother, Fausto abused his gifts every chance he got.  When Marion found out, he tried to convince him to change his ways. Fausto, however, could not be swayed.  His corruption ran too deep to be reached.

In a desperate attempt to change his mind, Marion made a deliberate attempt to mind control Fausto with his Gift of Gab.  Not only did this fail, Fausto recognized what he was trying to do and responded in kind.  The last thing he remembered was seeing a glowing, red sigil in his brother’s eye before waking up naked in some strange woman’s bed.  On what turned out to be an interstellar cruise ship headed for Arcadios.


Personality:
Sweet, kind, and gentle. Often submissive.  Usually wants to talk out conflicts, but can be absolutely vicious once hands start flying.  Always has your back no matter what.  Loves cute things, especially animals (especially ponies), food, and clothes. Hates mean people, gratuitous violence, and messes.  He is often the first to help someone in need, especially if he thinks they’re being ignored, and will put his body on the line to protect innocent people. While he is respectful and obedient to authority figures, he will not tolerate unjust law enforcement or unreasonable commands and will even fight to protect people from police brutality.

Physical Description:
Pale skin, dark eyes, and blue hair in three, long ponytails. Average height, with a slight yet athletic build and soft features. Wears a lot of pink, typically a thigh-length tunic with a white belt and calf-length pants to match. Also pink loafers without socks. Nails are painted in alternating pink and blue.  Will choose to wear the cutest uniform available in his size, even (or especially) if it has a skirt.

Character Ons/Offs:
Likes larger partners, tattoos, piercings, bondage, pet play, and general cum sluttery.  Dislikes sadomasochism, bestiality, incest, age play, drugs, filth (cum is kind of an exception, as long as they can clean it up easily enough). While generally against non-con, sometimes becomes quite enthusiastic when surprised with something he’s into.  Or will at least snap a photo.

Smut levels:
Corruption, mind-control, and transformation are fine, especially when temporary/reversible.  Stripping/clothing damage is cool, too.  Not sure how I feel about non-con.

[ShadowFox89]

Please do not advocate for piracy.

[Avernale]

What? Me? Never.

[ShadowFox89]

I haven't forgotten about this, still working on the setting info.

[Praxis]

From the looks of this thread, Black and Pink.

I'm out so Red is back in play.

[Dragongoddess]

Keeping an eye on this in case spots open up.

[Avernale]

If this is still on, then I think I may need to tweak my backstory/influences a bit.  My character's choice of profession isn't as funny to me as it was at the time.  And probably stereotypical?

Keeping an eye on this in case spots open up.

Going by what I'm seeing in this thread, and as of the post immediately before yours:

Red: ~OPEN!~
Black: Idej
Blue: Steir
Green: Yukina
Pink: Avernale (That's me!)
Yellow: JoanieSappho

Seeing as Black and Red would have been my preferences anyways, I'd love to make a character sheet, then, if anyone could share the not so expensive versions of the material people mentioned earlier.

[Silvered Sutures]

Was gonna grab red but got ninja go'd xD
Shame Jump Through Time isn't out yet so we can have Orange and Purple

[ShadowFox89]

Sorry guys, I've had super low mental energy the last couple of weeks. I'll get up the setting info and get cracking on this again once writing doesn't feel like climbing a mountain.

[ShadowFox89]

Added some information on Arcadios to the first post.

Sound off, who do I still have interested in this?

[Dragongoddess]

I'm still interested, but I can't afford to buy the rulebook so if anything can be done about that, I'm in.

[Silvered Sutures]

Interested if any spots are open, but as far as I understand it there are none. I do have the book however.

[Steir]

I'm still here~

I'm still here. :)

[Silvered Sutures]

Well, it seems the Red Ranger spot is still technically open so, if I may...

Name: Lyxe of Triforia
Pronouns: They/Them
Origin: Tragic
Role: Red, Black
Influence: Martial Artist, Not From Around Here, Survivor
Character Age: 26

Background: Lyxe was born with an indistinct gender, possessing the primary sexual characteristics typically expected of both male and female, and was seen as an abnormality from birth. Many assumed that – with twins being a rarity among Triforians – perhaps they had conjoined in the womb with their brother or sister, seeing as Triforians are typically split in three and can possess three minds. This was never revealed with certainty however, and with the ongoing attacks of the Varox on Triforia, there wasn't much time to analyze the child. Adding to this the constant state of panic of adults and the other children being sequestered to their homes for their safety, Lyxe was left with precious little attention, care, or supervision, largely raised by their home A.I. which even ultimately had to baptize them when their parents died in the war efforts. Dreading the child would be taken by the invading forces, the A.I. deemed it preferable to send them off into the wilds of their home planet, forcing them to fend for themselves in the wilds of Triforia from their tender age.

With their main form of socialization being interactions with animals – primarily hunting them for food – and running away from Varox invaders, it was an understatement to claim that by their teens Lyxe had absolutely no idea how to behave like a regular person ought; having developed a more primal sense of surroundings and a healthy degree of cautiousness when meeting strangers from an early age. At one point however, even that was insufficient to escape the Varox, but by pure chance they managed to commandeer the ship upon which they'd been taken and flew it to the first planet that looked outside of the reach of their foes; Arcadios. As fate would have it; the ship crashed in the backyard pond of a martial artist's secluded dojo.

The martial arts master with whom she took residence was a bit of a hermit, but deemed it her duty to take care of this wild teenager, raising Lyxe as though her own pupil, teaching them the art of Taekwondo and what she could teach them of etiquette, social norms, and basic education. Through their time together, this woman – a human named Hwa-Cha Yeung Sook – was the closest thing to a maternal figure they'd had the luxury of experiencing, and Lyxe did their best to imbibe their teachings, going out of their way to helping those in situations of misfortune, honing their body to the best of their ability, and keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings at all times. It was thus a shock, of course, when Hwa-Cha died of old age less than a decade after they've met, facing Lyxe with the reality that everyone they will ever meet – perhaps a bit late in their life for learning this – no matter on how peaceful a world, would eventually come to die. 

Personality: As a Triforian, Lyxe's personality has three sides which occasionally split into separate entities named after her predominant qualities; Bravery, Zeal, and Joy (pictured top to bottom, with Bravery also being her "true" appearance). On the side of Bravery; they like fighting, particularly when given a good reason, especially to protect others, and dislike using under-handed methods. Where Zeal is concerned; they love challenges, always trying to better themselves and learn more about who they are deep down through these trials, hating the very idea of taking shortcuts. On the end of Joy; they simply like having fun, and sharing that fun with others – particularly the kind of fun that is carnal in nature – and dislike taking advantage of others or seeing their friends unhappy. 

Physical Description: Lyxe stands at an impressive 6'6" with a thin, model-like build from the waist up, and long, thick, powerful legs and hindquarters resulting from a kick-centric martial arts training which they have been performing in excess. Alongside this, they have a mane of wavy black hair reaching down to the bottom of their rib cage, with a magenta under-layer which matches their unusual eye color. Their pale skin sports tattoos of black and red ink picturing dragons running up and down the length of their arms, and they possesses a series of piercing on their left ear that they switch on a daily basis. Despite their lithe upper body, they have a rather generous chest and the back muscles to prevent it from being a hindrance to their posture. As outlined above they possess both gender's reproductive organs and – self-conscious about this – they prefer to wear thick, baggy pants or layered half skirts to cover their groin.

Character Ons/Offs: Rather open-minded about sexuality as a whole, preference towards dominating/manhandling partners in standing positions.

Smut levels: Whatever the majority agrees upon.

Added some information on Arcadios to the first post.

Sound off, who do I still have interested in this?

Still interested.  I might still want to tinker with Marion's profile a bit.

[JoanieSappho]

Oh, and yeah, still here.

[ShadowFox89]

Silvered - Lyx - Red
Yukina- Pyewacket- Green
Steir- Theta 3 - Blue
Joanie- Sols - Yellow
Avernale- Marion- Pink

Am I missing anyone?

[Silvered Sutures]

Idej was the black ranger IIRC, though they never did finish their character now that I think about it...

[Avernale]

The game will take place primarily on Arcadios. I will be doing a full writeup of the world later on, but the cliffnotes is that Arcadios is a post-scarcity world that is seen as both a symbol of peace and a myth by much of the galaxy.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Arcadios is connected to the rest of the galaxy through intermediaries. Those the Knights view as trustworthy are escorted through the nebula of infant stars that Arcadios is hidden within, the exotic particle waves of the nebula keeping the planet concealed.

Contact with humanity first came about around 15 years ago. An early exploration project by the United Federation of Earth attempted a hyper-jump. The explorers crashed into Elis, one of the moons of Arcadios. Though the people of the planet generally did not trust these strangers, after all they enjoyed peace for hundreds of years due to their isolation. Princess Delphine, crown princess of Arcadios, was the one who gave the directive to treat these strangers as guests.
After the explorers from earth were brought back to full health and their ship repaired, Princess Delphine accompanied them herself on their trip back to earth. Since then, the two planets have had a limited, but plentiful, trade relationship.
Recently Arcadios has had an influx of refugees as the Empire of Pandemios expands it's reach. More and more have sought out the planet for safety and the Galactic Knights worry it will only be a matter of time before they have to take up arms on full to defend the planet.

I'm a little confused here.  Do people think Arcadios is a myth or not?  'Cause I assumed it was like Space Atlantis or something, but it has a trade agreement with Earth and apparently an immigration problem.  And speaking of Earth, I always assumed Power Rangers' Earth was supposed to be like real, modern Earth (except when it's a season set in the future or an alternate reality after a robot apocalypse), but Zordon hasn't even recruited the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers yet and we're already exploring alien worlds? And I haven't caught up with Power Rangers since at least Ninja Steel, but I don't remember anything about an Earth Federation.

I think it refers to https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Space_Federation

[ShadowFox89]

No, it's me not having an editor to remind me of what I already wrote.

Would people prefer the myth take or the trade take? Sometimes I get a little too deep into what I'm currently writing and forget to check what I had written before.

The trade for sure.

[Steir]

I think with the way I set up my character's background I'm fine with whichever approach. :3c

[Avernale]

Same.  Mine technically works either way, but I'll still feel like I need to rewrite some of it. (There was also a version I wrote where I forgot Arcadios was a myth and my character just moved there because his wife got big job there, but I wasn't really satisfied with that version anyway)

[Silvered Sutures]

Trade makes most sense for Lyxe's backstory considering she lived with a human on Arcadios, and it seems we're leaning that way.

[Idej]

Hi sorry

I was waiting on a,question to be answered on what books were available?

I had an idea for a character with Morphin Pet from Field Guide and using Pet Mutations from Cobra Codex too.

Otherwise character would have been done already

[ShadowFox89]

 Oh! Right! Apologies.

I have the Joe core book and the Transformers core book, I'm afraid I don't have the Cobra Codex just yet. Once I do, I'll look over the stuff from there and let you know.


edit: Updated first post with allowed books.


If everyone could please reply after this with their preference between Bondage-Exotic, NC-Exotic, and Extreme. I'm sending out the link for the playrole room now so folks can make their sheets and will be getting the OOC and IC up this weekend.

[Avernale]

Hmm... NC-Exotic, maybe?  To be on the safe side.  I doubt we'd need to go extreme, though.

[Silvered Sutures]

I would say Extreme, just to be on the safe side. Better have it and not need it than end up needing it and not have it, right?

[Steir]

I would agree with playing it safe setting it at Extreme because we'll never know until we get there.

Also there's irony in the above sentence.

We'll probably be decapitating bad guys on a weekly basis.

[ShadowFox89]

Rangers are innately heroic, they don't commit summary execution.

[Silvered Sutures]

Yes,  you could cut someone 20 times with a sword and at worst they'll be knocked out.

As an aside; character building wise; I'm having Lyxe be intimidating as all get out despite her tiny statue

[Silvered Sutures]

I think Lyxe is finished.

[JoanieSappho]

NC, definitely, so NC-Exotic - Extreme for me.

[Idej]

NC Exotic to Extreme for me as well.

[Yukina]

Agreed on NC-Exotic - Extreme. :)

[Avernale]

Changed how Marion got to Arcadios.  Now instead of being in a teleporter accident while running from bad guys, he got hypnotized and woke up in a strange woman's bed on a cruise ship.  I might try to elaborate on it more later.
