Super Sentai/Power Rangers RP?

[Klom89]

I kinda liked Samurai. But something tells me that it would be original. As for the plot and world, there's no telling.

A plot and world is what I wanted me and the RPers to formulate. Like I said, Halloween, Voodoo, and Medevial are the only three non-Sentai-claimed motifs I can think of; (Though dAers have claimed them: Search "Sentai concepts" on dA) though we tried a Medevial-based RP already; and it stalled after a month.


And before anyone asks: In Space was my favorite. XD

Don't forget about more obscure things. I mean, what about artists? A certain color going to someone who specializes in a specific kind of art. And then there's music. Don't know much about Sentai, so I'm working with limited knowledge here.

[Juggernaut6]

Is it that big a deal if we use an already used theme? Super Sentai does it from time to time too.

[umazak]

It's just that most RPers don't like characters that they don't make. It gets too boring too quickly.

You have a point. I mean, we can take the Gokaiger route and have cameos from past Sentai/Rangers...Or even ongoing ones, like Akibaranger. We can even have them morph into their old forms, too if needed.

But RPing as them would have to be an extra thing. Putting them as a main focus would be overdoing it a bit in my opnion.

Well, the "Automobile/Traffic Safety" and "Dinosaur" themes have been used to death. I'm just gonna expresss my dislike for those two.

Maybe we could usse a more obscure theme, such as detectives like J.A.K.Q or Angels like Goseigers. Though, wouldn't it be a more unique experience if we came up with a theme all our own? :D

I have a "Dimension-hopping" idea swimming in my head, but it hasn't developed much. :p

[Klom89]

I know I'm double-posting, sorry. I don't want this thread to end up forgotten mid-conversation.

I have something of a foundation for my "Dimension" idea.

I'm thinking....A multiverse of Super Sentai worlds had been revealed by scientists. A villain is attempting to conquer the SS universes as his own. A team of Sentai, both new and old, have been called to explore these universes and correct the intrusions made by the various enemies the villain has sent into the multiverse.

The Dimension hopping Sentai: Jigenranger!


This is merely an idea template. It's crappy and vague; but it gets the overall plot schematic across.

That title is so bad it hurts. And I'm not sure I like that premise either. Maybe we should scrap the whole idea of past sentai and just do our own thing like you originally wanted. How about this. Instead of writing up a whole premise and then suggesting it, we should just take turns pitching small details to each other and let it build up until we have a full premise. It'll take longer, but I bet we'll be more satisfied with the result since each detail will be something that we all agree on.

I know it's bad. I acknowledge it's bad. I thought of it at 1:00 in the morning, sue me. XD

And pitching seperate ideas WAS my original intention. But then the convo turned to past motifs, and it just went on from there.

Does anyone have their own ideas right now? :D

First lets decide the source of the powers. In SS and PR its usually either man-made technology like Lightspeed Rescue, Operation Overdrive, SPD, and Gokaiger or some kind of ancient mystical or heavenly power like MMPR, Lost Galaxy, Mystic Force, Samurai, Dairanger, and Goseiger. I suggest we go with the latter and we can use your original idea and be knights. It could be similar to Power Rangers Samurai. A present day setting with the rangers being trained as knights from when they were young and now that a new threat has appeared the rangers group together to fight them. What do you think?

Well, I can't take the credit for the Knight idea. Trunks came up with the RP and motif, the rest of us just filled it with Rangers. XD (Mistarea was actually one of the RPers for that one!)

Mystical powers sound fair.....Though having them as training veterans seems somewhat vague. Why not have them be chosen? Hey, maybe it can be progressive? It'll start with, say, two members and they choose people as they go? :D They can be "imprinted" with the power of Knights.

A far as the powers go, why not use the ancient "Lady of the Lake" legend? If I'm right, which I doubt I am, was the Lady the one that bestowed King Arthur with the proper power to wield Excalibur? We could piggyback off that.

[umazak]

Or we could go off another portion of the legend of King Arthur. They say that he had the blood of the Fae. Maybe take the Kings and Queens from A Midsummer Night's Dream and have the characters being descendants of those. That way, one mission would be to find the ones with this "Potential".

I might have to be enlightened on A Midsummer Night's Dream, but we can probably make it work.

Ok, we have the source of power, (Mystic descendants) formation of the Rangers/Sentai, (Members will be recruited, not established save the founding two) and motif. (Medieval Knights)

We just need a plot outline, morphing sequence, and setting. (Though setting probably depends on whether we're doing Rangers or Sentai; not that there's much difference)

I've tried getting a couple of Power Rangers RPs (I also have a Power Rangers fan fiction that I'm doing) running in the past, so I'd definitely be interested in joining one.

I have a rather interesting idea, if you guys would like to hear it.

AND PLEASE LET US USE "IT'S MORPHING TIME", THE BEST kupoING MORPH PHRASE THERE EVER WILL BE.

By all means, lay your ideas on us. :D

[Crimson Jazz]

Well, I was thinking, depending on how many people join, we could have both an American Ranger team and a Japanese Sentai team. After the emergence of a powerful villain that neither team can handle alone, the Sentai team and Ranger team unite to combat the villain, though the alliance would be slightly fragile, and the villain could somehow turn them against each other to turn their attention away from his/her dastardly deeds.

EDIT: Or perhaps a plot similar to the video game Power Rangers: Super Legends?
