Welcome to Morphosis!

Hey everybody!

This is Zoki, your head (and at the moment sole) mod. Now that we have enough characters to open, I'd like to announce that the opening date of the game will be Wednesday, April 17th. There's trouble brewing on the horizon, and soon Angel Grove will meet its newest heroes in an explosion-fest of an opening battle. And the newest villains will be making their debuts as well!

But we have a few days until then, so I thought we could introduce ourselves and perhaps start some preliminary plotting.

Here's what I'll tell you: both villain and Ranger characters will be warping into a tense situation. The villains have finally pulled their heads from their rears long enough to notice that they can finally overtake Earth now. But the remnants of the Ranger organization have pushed an emergency plan to stop them. Unfortunately for your characters, the emergency plan consists of the Rangers being pushed into battle immediately. With no training. But hey, the power will protect you, right? That's what the leaders at the Hexagon keep saying.

This first battle is a golden opportunity for the villains to make an impact. They know their powers, they'll have an army of clay foot-soldiers at their command, and they can each magically enhance one object of their choosing to be their chosen monster. Get creative! Fly down to Earth and taunt them if you want! Destroy stuff in the city! Just...not any of the important locations on the locations page without mod permission, please.

The main limit is that no one should be dying just yet. This first battle will just establish the conflict, and then the new Rangers will receive their training. After that, the whole of Angel Grove will be yours to explore.

But remember, this is only the first battle. Both sides will be receiving reinforcements and experiencing shakeups. And the scope of the battlefield will definitely grow across time and space.

All right, that's enough rambling. Let's get ready to roll!

All right, I'll kick this off!

I'll be playing Billy from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ([personal profile] morphitudinous) and Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic ([personal profile] appletastic).

Billy's a veteran Ranger. Angel Grove is his home turf, but he's not used to seeing it quite like this---not almost 40 years in the future and with so many familiar landmarks gone. He'll be impressed by the interspecies integration in society, not so impressed with the rough situation they've been thrown into. He'll be helping the newcomers as best he can but he'll probably have a shorter fuse than usual. That might include speaking like he's swallowed a thesaurus again.

Applejack is...worried. She's brave, she's ready to fight, but as far as she can tell she's the only pony in this strange new world and these powers were for two-legged folk. They'll shift to accommodate her, she'll just be extra-tough to prove to the others that she can keep up.

Hello, I'll be playing Son Goku from Dragonball ([personal profile] songoku). He's a fourteen-year-old kid who spent the majority of his life growing up in the mountains, so he's a little shaky on concepts like "aliens" and "table manners". On the other hand, he'll love the opportunity to bash up some bad guys!

Goku's main mode of transportation is the Kinto'un, a magical cloud that will only allow the purehearted to ride on it (the non-purehearted can ride on Goku's back), so he'll be happy to give people a lift. He'll also likely be confused by this Ranger powers thing, and will have to figure out the concept of transforming, since as far as he can tell it is WITCHCRAFT.
songoku: (Goku: lookout)

I would love for Goku to have a run-in with Applejack. Talking animals are common where he's from!
morphitudinous: (Better without? Nah.)

magic vs. technology

Oh goodie, this is always a fun argument!

But seriously I think his enthusiasm will be very welcome.
appletastic: (I love trees)

[personal profile] appletastic 2013-04-15 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
That's awesome. As long as he doesn't condescend to her she'll be happy (and if he does it'll be funny).

I'm bringing in Lee Chaolan [personal profile] golfandrobots. Lee is a long retired white ranger that once lead a team to help during the 70's and early 80's. Upon his retirement, he offered to help out any ranger that needs his assistance. His business is in robotics and new technology.

He now calls Angel Grove his home after moving away to take care of his aging father while he was searching for his brother. After twenty years of being away and nearly thirty years since he was a Ranger, he returns to the place where it all began to aid the new generation in the protection of the world.

Excellent, these kids could definitely use a mentor. Especially with all the hot blood and high tensions likely to come from that battle.
songoku: (Goku: cocoa)

[personal profile] songoku 2013-04-15 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
He's not real condescending, he just... doesn't have a very good grasp of social guidelines. Like the fact that most people don't eat bugs, and maybe would not appreciate the offer to share some.
golfandrobots: (Huh.)

[personal profile] golfandrobots 2013-04-15 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I was thinking the same thing and if it's okay, he'll be like a mentor or guardian since the kids are probably going to have some issues with their new powers that they can't really share with their parents.
appletastic: (backing up)

[personal profile] appletastic 2013-04-15 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, that'd be cute. She'd be very patient with that sort of thing, far be it from her to know all about what two-legged folk do.
dragonspooker: (Why yes I do like shiny things.)

Wingus

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2013-04-15 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I am Wingus! I will be playing Lina Inverse from Slayers ([personal profile] dragonspooker) here. She's a sorceress with a questionable-at-best reputation, but is a decent sort deep down. She tends to put her own wants first however, and has a hair-trigger temper about a lot of things. She's got no qualms about fighting, and is an old hand at it, but she is really not gonna be into this whole Ranger thing since it's something that some folks she know would enjoy a lot more.

That, and she's gonna be a Pink ranger, and she kind of has issues with being assigned that color.

I'm not sure just how effective it'll be, but she'll likely try to expend her options of her own magical abilities before giving in to using the Ranger powers. (She's terribly stubborn like that.)
morphitudinous: (thinky)

Wingus

[personal profile] morphitudinous 2013-04-15 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
She'll be able to make dents in the foot soldiers, probably even the main monsters! She just might have trouble with the giant giant monsters that probably need a Zord to oppose them.

And on a character-based note, pinks' a perfectly good color. My characters will try to help with this.
dragonspooker: (Why yes I do like shiny things.)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2013-04-15 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
I think Lina would be curious about Applejack - she's not ever seen a regular pony that talks, just humanoid ones.
dragonspooker: (Excited)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2013-04-15 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
I vote for Lina failing to ride the magic cloud (and throwing a fit over it), and there being some instance where they run a food establishment out of stock by accident.
appletastic: (Lemme think)

[personal profile] appletastic 2013-04-15 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Humanoid ponies?

AJ will want to know what the hay was going on over there.
dragonspooker: (The most mature of sorceresses.)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2013-04-15 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's a Slayers tradition that the first episode opens with a Dragon Slave casting - primarily for comedic effect than actual usefulness, so it doing a lot of nothing to the giant monster would be good. (Property damage, on the other hand...)

They can try, but she's terribly stubborn!

Elly

[personal profile] nize_hat 2013-04-15 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hi, I'm Elly. I'm throwing my proverbial hat in the ring (har har) as one of your villains. Insert evil laugh here!

Actually, this guy isn't that much of a villain. His name is Maxim, a character from a wonderful webcomic by Phil and Kaja Foglio named Girl Genius! (girlgeniusonline.com) He's more of a slapstick comedy sort in the webcomic, and he serves the main heroine of the tale. Here, unfortunately, he's been shoehorned into a villain role because well. He's not human.

This doesn't mean he won't give Being Bad the ol' college try, though, because as history has shown, the people he's sworn to serve in the past don't always play on the side of good.
dragonspooker: (Aw maaaaaaan.)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2013-04-15 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Just another race in her world, far as Lina knows.
appletastic: (Sad eyes)

[personal profile] appletastic 2013-04-15 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
oh dear. They should try FRIENDSHIP on him!

But seriously the villains will attempt to lure him with great swaths of land for prizes (except he'll get stuck with Rhode Island because he's new)
dragonspooker: (...this is unfit for the eyes of man.)

[personal profile] dragonspooker 2013-04-15 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still not sure if meeting up in clothed violent chaos is better or worse than naked violent chaos with these two. :D
nize_hat: (not my best day)

[personal profile] nize_hat 2013-04-15 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's probably going to have a similar result.
nize_hat: (hy'll schow hyu sottil)

[personal profile] nize_hat 2013-04-15 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
I can see it now. "Are dere pretty gorls dere?" He'd be happy with that. They end up giving him southern California, or maybe a span of beach on Florida where he can ogle, flirt, and get smacked, and he's fine.

haha. the negotiations will be terrifying

There should also be a point where Goku mentions her chest and gets hit by a spell for his troubles, just sayin'.

Aww, Maxim!

Goku doesn't understand the appeal of girls 8|
