Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on May 07, 2008, 10:51:27 AM
I talked with some other members, and they have showed interest in the possibility of doing this kind of rp. However, I am not 100% sure how we should do this. I think GVG wanted to create the rp himself, so this thread is to help him, and all of us, get a better idea of what it should be like.

For starters, where should it be held? Could we see the LBT characters as Power Rangers? Should we stick with human characters? Tell us what you think!

We have several choices.  It can be set in LBT, we can also have it set on earth, or it can be on another world with maybe humans and maybe another race or 2.  Are some of the options I can think of.  We'd have to decide or talk about also on the number of power ranger characters also, powers they have, ect.

On the subject of number of rangers, I'm thinking no less than five. That is, if more than five people want to do this.

On ranger colors I think these are necessary:

Red
Blue
Yellow
Pink
Black


Any extra colors would include:

Green
White
Orange
Purple
Silver
Brown

Well now...I've just been struck by insperation! The idea I've just come up with does indeed pertain to the main plot, but won't be revealed until the end. ;) And don't try guessing, cause that would suck all the fun out of the mystery! :lol:

With this being a LBT RP, I believe sticking with the gang would be a good idea, unfortunatley I don't have a single clue as to what their costumes would look like...or more to the fact how they would morph to begin with. :rolleyes: Oh well...it's trial and error time! YAY!

I wouldn¥t like the idea to mix the LBT with any kinds of human. For me it would be too much off LBT. I prefer those RPs, with the LBT characters and other dinosaurs, but not with humen in it.

Post by: LBTFan13 on May 07, 2008, 04:17:35 PM
With the LBT characters, we could try and play around with the armor idea GVG had in Armageddon in the Beyond before we had to get rid of it.

Otherwise, if we use human characters, then we could choose any ranger from from any of the series.

If this is the "classic" power rangers (before Zordon was killed by the Red Space ranger... on Zordon's orders!), the Rangers could be teleported through time from the Command Center to stop some sort of monster... which will then have to grow... this fits well because the first season of the power rangers used the dinozords, including a dragonzord (an an ultrazord)... but if we will keep it limited to five, we ought to just have the five main dinozords (only two of which were representative of dinosaurs!) combine to form the megazord.

For those who don't know, the five zords were the Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Pterodactyl, Mastodon (Mammoth in the original Japanese sentai), and Saber-Tooth Tiger. There was also a dragonzord (think mechagodzilla) commanded by the green ranger, who could summon it by using a musical dagger... and a sauropod-like zord (with wheels) called Titanus which could combine with the megazord and dragonzord to form the ultrazord. That's seven zords in total...

EDIT: Of the original rangers, There were red (Jason), black (Zack,who was African-American) , blue (Billy), yellow(Trini; she was Asian), and pink (Kimberly; yes, a girl pink ranger; they've had at least 3 pink females in the land before time series as well.) At first, it was three guys and two girls (sort of like the original Gang of Five.) Later, the green ranger joined, and he increased their numbers to six.

Post by: Mirumoto_Kenjiro on May 07, 2008, 07:49:04 PM
Some questions comes to mind, after hearing everyone's suggestions.  Are we going to use characters from the Power Ranger series into the RP, or are the Gang going to be the Rangers, or are we making up a whole new set of Rangers?

If we are using a team from the series, which ones can we use?  There are in fact 2 Ranger teams set with dinosaurs:  Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Dino Thunder.  And THEN there are at least 10 other teams in the American series.  The Japanese Super Sentai series began in the 70's, so I don't want to think about how many teams they have...
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 07, 2008, 07:50:24 PM
As for how they morph I was going to copy the idea of how the mighty morphin power rangers would morph into the ninja rangers, they didn't use morphers but held their hands and fingers in a certain way, and for the 4 footers I was going to have them change by holding the wrists of their front feet together, wasn't sure about Spike since he doesn't talk, unless he scats or something.  The wrists being held together is how in the 60's or 70's Marvel Captain Marvel or Rick Jones would switch places, with one of them having to remain in the Negative Zone.  

As for zords I was maybe going to use the gang grows to large size since there is no tech really in the LBT world.  Or just go with the type each of the gang is.

I used some of my ideas for what what could have been a fanfiction or rp for the versions of Ducky and Petrie I am playing in the insane cafe rp.  That is the more serious version of my idea, where Mr. Thicknose takes the place of Zordon since Zordon doesn't exist yet.    My goofier idea would have had Zordon and Alpha 1, alpha 5 not existing yet, and the gang being chosen since due to budget cuts they could not afford teens with attitudes yet.

I guess we have to hope at most there are only 5 players interested, or maybe 6.  Though 7 may be possible with the gang being 7 in number in the tv series.  

If it is LBT, we'd have to decide do we go with the traditional colors, or with the colors the gang are, several of them are green I think and if he's leader Littlefoot would likely be red.    

With mine I found it hard to pick colors for the serious version so as can be seen in the insane cafe I did away with colors and went basing it on the type they were, Ducky being the great valley swimmer guardian, though that would likely  not fit for a power ranger rp since all versions are called rangers I think.

Post by: StarfallRaptor on May 07, 2008, 08:11:29 PM
...!!!
Just had a brilliant idea!
In the later Power Rangers series, there are often two ranger sets, or the Rangers and the independent (Ranger who had a stand-alone Megazord).  So, what if we had the "Valley Rangers"(Littlefoot, Cera, Etc...) and the "Beyond Rangers?" (Hunter, Longtail, Dante, etc...)   That might work, dont'cha think?
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 07, 2008, 08:28:24 PM
The benefit of that is oc's could be used and there could be more then 5 (or 7) characters.    Not sure what the others think.  I guess if they are the beyond rangers they either can't live in the great valley or have to live or have their nest or sleeping area near on of the entrances or in one of the caves?
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on May 07, 2008, 08:43:08 PM
@Mirumoto - We would use the classic series of Power Rangers instead of the Dino Thunder.

I would think we would use between 5 - 7 people for the characters. I am thinking if we set this in the LBT universe, then the gang would act as the rangers, Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Thicknose could collaborate and act as Zordon, maybe Sharptooth from the first movie resurrected and act as Rita/Zedd.

I agree with the morphing idea, but I'm still a little confused as to how the gang would actually move their body parts to morph. Could you explain that a little further Kor?

EDIT: I just read your idea Starfall, and that's actually a pretty good idea! What I was thinking, which is pretty much what you said, we could have one group of rangers which consist of the original gang, and we could have a second group which includes any original characters like Longtail, Dante, Hunter, Zaine, etc...
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 07, 2008, 09:12:24 PM
For the bipeds it could be similar to how they did it in the show:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4JcfrlobRs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4JcfrlobRs)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsDMCyXBpuw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsDMCyXBpuw)


For the quadrapeds I was going to go with their right front leg may cross over their left front leg.  As for Spike it could be either he'd have to scat it, say nonsense stuff, or maybe as long as someone else is morphing and saying the words he may not need to if he morphs at the same time.


Though instead of they saying ranger power, great valley ranger power now, we'd have to decide on the words used.  In the version I was going to do I have Ducky saying "Great Valley Swimmer Guardian", Petrie likewise says, "Great Valley Flyer Guardian." Since that way I didn't have to try to decide, what color is Littlefoot, Cera, ect, so I would have gone with that instead so I didn't have to pick colors.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on May 07, 2008, 09:27:22 PM
I really like your ideas about the morphing Kor. I agree that they should be Great Valley Longneck Guardian or Threehorn Guardian etc... I also kind of understand more your ideas about how they wll perform the morph. Like you said, for the flyer's/swimmers/sharpteeth, it will be easier.

We can always create a seperate Power Ranger RP for human characters if we want to, but I think we are going with the lbt characters as rangers for this one.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: StarfallRaptor on May 07, 2008, 09:53:03 PM
In that case, I think the "Beyond Rangers" are the colors.  Am I correct?
If so, I nominate Longtail as Red, Hunter as Yellow, Dante as Black, and Zaine as Blue.  Who else wants in?
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 07, 2008, 09:54:57 PM
That is what I was going to ask, since at several of the beyond folks are fast biters or sharpteeth would they do colors and would they use the term guardian or ranger?

It would have to be decided to the beyond folks live in the great valley, in the beyond, can they sleep, have a nest in a cave that has an entrance to both.  Do the great valley and beyond folks know who each other really are or do they know each other only in their costume/guardian or ranger form and do not know outside their guardian/costume form.   For example  do Dante and Littlefoot know the other is the great valley longneck guardian or the black beyond ranger, or do they not know?  That would have to be decided also.

If the 5 or 6 positions are not taken for the beyond I may do a character for them also, or may not, I"ll wait and see.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: StarfallRaptor on May 07, 2008, 10:29:19 PM
Personally, I think we should have nests that access both the Beyond and the Valley.  Also, not having the two groups know about the other's being Rangers would be good.  That would set up for a revelation scene later on.
Example:
Black Beyond Ranger(wounded):  Darn it!  I can't... (collapses)
Red Beyond Ranger: Dante!
Everyone in the Guardian team:  :wow ??? Dante!?
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 07, 2008, 10:37:37 PM
It could lead to an interesting rp scene if they do not know.  Would you prefer the beyond rangers morph the same way as the great valley guardians, or do you have your own ideas?

Also if it is popular it could lead to 1 or more sequels.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: StarfallRaptor on May 07, 2008, 11:27:39 PM
I think the morphing sequence should be the same.  Maybe, though, the "Beyond Rangers" can have, I dunno, different gear for one thing (like swords or whatnot), and maybe have darker names than just their color.
Example:
Dante--Beyond Ranger Black: Bladedge
Just a thought.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 08, 2008, 12:04:24 AM
Yeah...I've been thinking this over several hours now and every time I do, it get cooler. But now I think my head just sploded from the sheer strain of thinking about this all day!

@Starfall: Your idea for darker names is a good idea.

@Kor: That's what we're hoping for...MORE SEQUELS!
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 08, 2008, 02:36:38 AM
@ Starfall - I like the idea of darker names for their ranger form, it does fit in since in the tv series and movies, both early and late sequels, the mysterious beyond is darker then the great valley is.  

& it looks like the beyond rangers are older then the great valley guardians, at present anyway, which also fits in with the darker feel/theme of Starfall's idea above.  

I guess of the fc's I'd like to do either Ducky or Petrie, I think I have the most fun and rp them best, not sure of the other's opinions here.  If I do a beyond ranger I may use Mim or I may make up an oc like a iguanodon  or something else.  

As for gear for either group and their being different, which does make sense, or the beyond rangers having the only gear, maybe we can discuss that & GVG, as the gm can give his feelings also.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on May 08, 2008, 06:21:58 AM
I would definitely like to play as both a Great Valley Guardian and a Beyond Ranger. I would definitely choose to play as Zaine, and if nobody minds, I would like to play as Littlefoot for the Guardian Team.


For the Beyond Rangers, I'm assuming that's what we're calling them, I figured they could imitate this morph:

(A little beginning, but deal with it)

Morphing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdsHFYQEsWM&feature=related)

Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 08, 2008, 08:07:14 AM
Do you mean with the morphers or just holding their arms in the positions but without the morphers?  Or do you mean the style of the gold ranger morph?

We'll have to eventually figure out what the beyond rangers get and what the guardians get as for equipment, if any, and maybe styles of costumes or appearances in their ranger / guardian form.  Or it can be kept vague with no real detail if folks prefer.  Also do the smaller ones like Ducky & Petrie stay the same size, or grow to a different size.  &  how about the zords, if any will be used?


As for another rp with humans that would likely need another discussion thread started,   though some may prefer to do that, or wait and get this one up and running then see if any are interested in another, or keep with just this one.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Nick22 on May 08, 2008, 10:23:25 AM
I think we should have 6. Black Red, Pink, Yellow blue and Green. Gold can be the 7th color id we insist on having 7. BTw I grew up watching Power Rangers. the acting was horribl;le but it was fun to watch.. now who would serve as the bad guy..?
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on May 08, 2008, 11:49:42 AM
Either or Kor. The only thing with the morphers is that Zaine would have a little trouble unless he were able to stand on his two hind legs and perform the motions, which can be done if necessary.

As for who serves as the villain, I figured that we could choose a head sharptooth or one of the main villains of the series.

Alsom on the subject of the smaller dinosaurs, I think we should have them grow to about normal size in order to fight. This is pretty much what was done in Power Rangers Turbo with the blue ranger being a kid.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 08, 2008, 11:56:28 AM
I would say just using their hands to morph would actually make a bit more sense then having morphers would require technology they don't really have. However I will be playing Longtail and Hunter as Beyond Rangers. (The name just works!) But I'll also be playing Grandpa Longneck as well...

I believe Kor mentioned Mr. Thicknose, and Grandpa longneck work together like Zordon...
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on May 08, 2008, 11:59:22 AM
Yeah I was thinking just the hand motions would make a lot more sense because of technology wise.

Of course, we still need to think about the most important aspect of them all. How do they get their powers? My suggestion is the use of the Stone of Cold Fire. I know, I use it for practically everything, but it seems to make the most sense.

Could be interesting, but overused maybe?   Also do 1 or both groups have their powers when the rp starts or does 1 or both groups gain them during the rp?

The idea I had, and used for the insane cafe, was a big vague as to how the first group got their powers, maybe some great valley spirits or something.  But Mr. Thicknose as the last living guardian of his team inherits their portions of the great valley guardian power and becomes the keeper.  This lets him live beyond a normal lifespan as keeper.  He may have the body of someone who is the human equivalent to 60 or whatever age he seems, but he may be 100 or 600 years old.  When he senses the need for a new team of guardians which may not happen immediately since here may be quiet times where no guardians are really needed for a short or long time he can start looking for some individuals who may be potentially worthy and fit to inherit the responsibility and abilities and transfers a part of the power to them as the keeper of his team transfered to him.  The power is changed or altered by the type of dinosaur that you are.  For example Cera did not inherit the threehorn guardian  power.  She inherited the great valley guardian power, or a portion some may say, and since she is a threehorn she is a threehorn guardian, same as Petrie is a flyer guardian and the others.  Not sure if I explained it well enough or it sounds confusing.  

Just like the one who was keeper and choose the team that Mr. Thicknose was a member of was the last living member of his team and become a keeper, Mr. Thicknose was the last living member of his team and become keeper, one of the current team will be the last living member and will become keeper, as I think I have Ducky hint at.  I didn't mean death in battle, but over time, due to age, ect.   They mentioned the circle of life in the movie more then once and that gave me the idea for how it is transfered, at least in what I was going to do.  And hense Mr. Thicknose is now aging at a normal rate again.

Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 08, 2008, 05:59:04 PM
Now that's an idea Kor! However I would assume one group should or would have their powers at the start...just for the fact that danger could strike at anytime. As to which group I'm still thinking on. The keeper idea is another good one as well and it makes sense as well.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: StarfallRaptor on May 08, 2008, 10:32:26 PM
I think that it works best with the Beyond Rangers having their powers first.  That way, they can help the Valley forces, at which point the Valley Guardians awaken their powers.  Just a thought.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Chiletrek on May 09, 2008, 08:57:36 PM
Hello:
 Maybe the Beyond Rangers get the powers first and when the enemy becomes too powerful, they decided to seek help in the Valley, at that time, theenemy began sending minor forces to the Valley, to test their defenses, so the Valley Rangers get their powers as defenders. Later in the story, both groups may unite to finally make their stand against the enemy.

Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 09, 2008, 10:21:16 PM
Sounds like an idea, not sure if it fits in with whatever idea GVG had.   I guess by minor you mean those various minor foes that the various versions of the rangers had to battle, sometimes before they morphed, before the episode baddie would appear like the putty things and the tenga ones?
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Chiletrek on May 10, 2008, 01:10:16 AM
Hello:
 Minor forces, maybe like the normal monsters the enemy often sends to try to defeat the good guys, including the minions that always strike in numbers (as you said Kor, the Rangers often battle this minions even without morphing). The Beyond Rangers may have been battling major forces, like the ones in command of normal monsters, like Generals or something like that.
 I'm happy you liked my idea GVG :DD .
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 10, 2008, 02:36:02 AM
Oh....now I remember the minor villains you're talking about...the Putty Patrol! Yeah...85% of the time the rangers didn't need to morph to take them down.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on May 10, 2008, 03:10:44 AM
I read that some later versions of the rangers didn't have those as much.   I don't know since I've not seen the ones past time force and only very vaguely remember that one if at all.

no, thank you
In relation to what are you saying no thank you.  Pardon if it's obvious to everyone but me.

It fits having Mr. Thicknose and Grandpa Longneck function as Zordon.  Though is this due to both sets of rangers having only 1 "Zordon" type or due to Grandpa Longneck being the "Zordon" for the beyond rangers but he's moved to the great valley for obvious reasons, it's safer for his mate and grandson, he's old and its safer there, ect.
The do make a good pair.  Mr. Thicknose knowing a lot of things from second hand knowledge and grandpa longneck having some first hand knowledge and as a former story speaker (if that is canon for here) he knows a lot from the stories and can inspire folks.  

I guess by growing (sorry missed a few posts till I went back and looked) you meant up to around average size like as tall as cera or littlefoot are on all fours?  I recall power rangers turbo but only saw a single episode I think, way way back when.  Or do you mean the gang when they morph grow up to about the size of the fast biters in the beyond rangers group.  

I like the guardian term, though it may fit better to have one group called by the name suggested, the 'Beyond Rangers', and maybe the others the 'Guardian Rangers (or do most think a better common term would be "Valley Rangers", "Great Valley Rangers"?.  Though that may not be the full name of each team most folks would shorten things down to that, with maybe a few shortening it further to guardians and rangers, depending on the individual person's preferences.

Maybe.  How about anyone else, have any ideas, suggestions, things you like or dislike about things discussed so far?


Also should it be totally serious, with some comedy in it?  Should the bullies appear in it in a sort of Bulk and Skull role?  Should the main villain have sort of flunkeys that some had in the early power rangers seasons?

I think the problem at the moment, at least for me and I assume for others, school is coming to an end, so now final exams and projects are being crammed into our scheduals. I'm sure people haven't lost interest in this. It could just be that everyone is extremely busy finishing up he school year.

I know I haven't lost interest in this, but I have a thousand things due these last four weeks of school, so I'm hammered at the moment.

Post by: LBTFan13 on September 30, 2008, 08:56:42 AM
If OC's are allowed, then I will play as Zaine. Otherwise, I would like to play as Littlefoot.

I think we probably should wait before actually starting the rp! Don't get me wrong though Starfall! I am excited that you are still interested in this, but starting an rp without setting ideas for it will only make it fall. I'll help you out Starfall since I was highly interested in this as well!
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?

Glad there's still some support.
I just put up the intro to have a basic idea of where to go with it.

Thanks for being willing to help out!
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on September 30, 2008, 09:11:07 AM
Np! That's what I'm here for :yes

I really like the idea of how the Puddies from the original show are transpired into Dino form! I think that should stay!

This is pretty much repetition of everything we had already come up with, but it will be a refresher since we haven't looked at this in a long long long long LONG LONG LONG (pants for more air and then continues) LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG time... :lol

(I'm in school right now, so I will not be able to finish updating everything today, but I will continue to add things)

Our basic idea was to have two teams. One team consisting of the original gang, and they would be the Great Valley Guardians (GVG should feel right at home here lol!) Then, we would have another team made up of created characters, like Zaine, Longtail, Dante, etc... and they would be called the Beyond Rangers.

We figured either Grandpa Longneck or Mr. Thicknose would work as the Zordon figure, but since I can't decide between the two, let's have them both working together.

Wil finish editing later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?

In my version of lbt & the power rangers I was going to have Mr. Thicknose be the Zordon like figure for the Great Valley Guardian Rangers.  Why can't Grandpa Longneck be the same for the Beyond Rangers, who is living in the Great Valley since his grandson is still very young, and his mate and him are rather old and it's a safer place to live.  Though if one of them isn't handy each group would likely not ignore the other's Zordon like person, the Great Valley Guardian rangers would not ignore Grandpa Longneck I think, nor vise versa for the Beyond Rangers.



As for my oc's who could be in the Beyond Rangers I do have Mim, though she's an adult and, I would assume, lives in the Great Valley.  I do have 3 who live outside the Great Valley, though 1 may be to young, Blue-eyes a deinonychus who is somewhere around Ruby's age, his younger brother Deon, who is around the movie gang's age, and Zala, a flying sharptooth, who I think will be around the movie gang's age.   Not that I want to put them all in, just giving a choice of which one.

That's a good Idea, Kor!  I think that'll work!
And as for your OC's I see no problem with any of them.  They all would make good additions! :DD

I just figured since Grandpa Longneck is Littlefoot's grandpa, he would fit. However, I see no problem in having him guide the Beyond Rangers.

We should figure out a location for the Beyond Rangers. I don't think the Mysterious Beyond would work because that is most likely where Kireek's lair is going to be. Unless we want to incorporate the Land of the Mists, then maybe another portion of the valley can be used.

Another topic of discussion is how they gain their powers. The idea of the Stone of Cold Fire makes sense, but like Kor said it seems overused. Unless we find a cave that holds the powers, this will require some brainstorming.

Another topic: how do we look transformed? That probably will be the easy part because each character is unique, so we can play around with our imaginations on it. However, I suggest each team have a symbol of sorts to distinguish them, let alone different shades of colors. Like Littlefoot could be the normal red ranger, and the leader of the Beyond Rangers could be a dark red ranger. I guess armor would make sense.

Another topic: what weapons shall we use? I think we should avoid psychic powers as much as possible, because the original power rangers had weapons, not pyschic abilities. The rangers had the use of blaster, but I think we should avoid that because of laser technology. The most technological things I would suggest would be anywhere from swords, axes, lances, daggers, bows and arrows, clubs, etc... For those who are biped, they can easily wield the weapons in their hands. For the four footers, they can carry them in their mouth.


This is a lot of footage, so I will leave it at this for everyone to discuss. If this kind of rp doesn't work out, then I will happily create a regular human power rangers rp forum in the random rp section. Talk this over, see what you guys think!

Hm...I'll Get started on trying to figure out some logos for the two teams.  As for weapons, I agree with LBTFan13.  Swords, Bows, Daggers, etc.  Little to no psychic powers.  
Powers getting...Hmm...I think maybe it could be some sort of small version of a stone of Cold Fire.  Maybe have the two elders give them to the Valley Rangers, and have the Beyond Rangers find theirs, or something like that.  Just a thought.

And I'm actually working on a picture of Dante transformed.

The reason I was going to have Mr. Thicknose as the GVG Zordon type that he has never left the valley, supposedly, and Grandpa Longneck has spent most of his life in the great beyond.   & I was going to have that the GVG were not the first team, just that there hasn't been a team in a very long time.  

How they get their powers is up to the gm, but my idea, as Ducky mentions in the Insane Cafe rp thread was the current guardian can transfer or bestow the power on folks who seem worthy or destiny seems to point to.  Over time the team members 1 by 1 die, old age & other reasons, till only 1 is left, that last one is changed into a guardian.  They basically do not age and wait till the time comes for a new team.  As Ducky goes on to explain, as Mr. Thicknose was the last of his team, one of us will become the next guardian, eventually choose successors, and so on.  That is just my idea, it may be totally changed and different for this rp.

If you'd rather have a stone it could be a small stone that each has hidden somewhere, a special cave they hid it in till it is needed again.   Though how Grandpa Longneck had it and we didn't see it in the first movie, may need to go unexplained if this route is taken.  

As for 4 footer weapons, some of those with a natural weapon as an adult maybe has them in their ranger form.  Spike may have his spiked tail, and Cera her 3 full horns.  For others, or maybe in additional, part of their costume may include a weapon, a sword, club, ect, on the end of their tail.  

As for a rl more modern power rangers (or one set in the 80's, near future ect) I had started a thread but interest fizzled, I wish you luck and you may find it, or I can find the link if you'd rather, so you can look it over for ideas when and if you decide to start your own discussion thread.

Post by: StarfallRaptor on September 30, 2008, 11:48:07 PM
That works.  The weapons work, as for those without natural weapons, I'd say they get the blades on their tails or such things.  Either way, the stones will be a good counterpoint to the old morphers.

And it fizzled, good luck on your idea and rp here, and a second more pure type of power rangers if you go for that.

As for the area the beyond rangers to operate or have their hq, or whatever the idea was, that is up to the gm, and maybe players can suggest.   The Great Valley is huge, in the Spooky Nighttime Adventure, I think the episode is called they travel for maybe 2 days, and the area where the sand creepers normally live may be another area of the great valley, or an area close, since the gang walk there and Petrie never mentions that it's in the mysterious beyond before they head there.  Maybe more proof the Great Valley is very huge.  

Maybe it's going to far, but maybe the super sharptooth in the first movie may fit as a past foe of the beyond rangers, it would help explain why he as such powers, and maybe Littlefoot's mother was a beyond ranger.   Though he is later killed by the gang as seen in the first movie, maybe to silly but it may be part of why they did succeed in doing that, destiny to get to the great valley, become gvg rangers, that sort of thing, and also, of course, since they worked together.  All even before they were given the stones, or whatever, much later.  Some stupid ideas I had and they don't fit but though I may mention them, if nothing else many here will get a good laugh out if them.

& if someone  does start a more regular power rangers thing I'd have to mention, maybe by pm, a char idea I had.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on October 01, 2008, 03:16:59 PM
Those are really strong ideas Kor. I think the idea of the Sharptooth as a villain in the rp would work out perfectly, because then it would explain how the beyond rangers got their powers. Maybe we could say that Littlefoot's mother gave them the stones before she died, and told them to protect them until the gang was able to accept them and become the Great Valley Guardians. This is just an idea, so you can use it if you want Starfall.

As for the pure Power Rangers RP, I'm defintely thinking of trying to revive it because I really was enthusiastic about it. If you want to Kor, you can pm me your character idea!

Post by: StarfallRaptor on October 01, 2008, 08:45:59 PM
Good Ideas, Kor and LBTFan13! I'll start working them into the whole scheme of things!
And as for where the Beyond Rangers would be based, I thought that maybe a cave in the wall of the Valley would work.  That way, they would be a part of both worlds.  As for the crests, I've got a tenative pair of designs for the Valley Rangers, but none for the Beyond Rangers.  Got any suggestions?  

Great Idea having Sharptooth being the one of the original villains.  Who knows, he may even show up again this time... ;)

Maybe a shiny stone, sky colored stone, one of the mountains, 3 horn peak, saurus rock,


For the pure lbt rp up to you if you want to start a new thread, or use the one I had started.  I had been thinking of not having 1 set morph sequence, morpher ect since I thought it may be more fun if folks could make up their own or use their favorite one.  Up to you what you will do.

Anyone saying who they'd like to play?   Or have other ideas?
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: LBTFan13 on October 05, 2008, 09:34:48 PM
I have already expressed interest in playing as Littlefoot and Zaine. I'm sure GVG would like to play as Longtail, but he seems very busy at the moment. In fact, I think all of us are busy with school. Starfall probably wants to play as Kireek and Dante, and then maybe either Virgil or Motochika. I say give it some time and people will show interest.


As for other ideas, I'm still thinking of stuff, so I will get bck to you guys when I figure it out. I know we can bring this through!

Thought most would be in the regular pattern of school since it started a month or so ago.  But since you showed interest in an fc I'll keep a list here for everyone's convince so the gm doesn't need to.  I"ll list the oc's here also for convenience, though its' not really needed.   I"m open as to which fc I play, and since I have oc's I"ll let others pick their fc's first.

You read my mind, LBTFan13!  I'm definately gonna be Dante and Kireek, and maybe Virgil and/or Motochika if the need arises.  And yeah, I'm pretty busy with school right now.  Probably because I'm a Senior and all... :p

I think it would be wise to post what color ranger each character would be. I'm assuming since Littlefoot is the leader, he would be the red ranger. As for Zaine, I'm not sure what color he should be.

Hello:
 Well, I bet Cera would be the Yellow Ranger (as we can sometimes see in the different PR series), because if you give her the Pink Suit, she'll chase you down and crush you! :lol .
 I don't know why, but Petrie may be a good Blue Ranger... but that is up to you guys ;) .
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on October 06, 2008, 11:03:11 PM
Up to the gm & maybe the folks voting, though he would have the final say.   I've updated the list below, listing the folks taken, and the fc's not taken with some colors Chiletrek suggested and some guesses I made on the ones he's not mentioned.  Easier I think for folks to see and discuss here what they think.

Hello:
 I think Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Thicknose can be mentors of the GV Rangers since those dinos live in there, so maybe someone like Doc (who I think doesn't livbe in the GV) could be a mentor for the MB Rangers.
Title: LBT x Power Rangers RP ?
Post by: Kor on October 06, 2008, 11:47:11 PM
Doc seems more like the other ranger type, or a ranger type of ally, but who wonders about, similar to what I think the phantom ranger I read a bit about is like.  & Doc would not remain in 1 spot, a mentor would I think.

I just suggested Grandpa Longneck as a mentor for the beyond rangers since he has spent most of his live outside of the great valley.  He may only be living there due to his grandson and mate.  We also do not see him a lot in some episodes or movies so maybe he visits where the beyond rangers hq is, if it is in one of the stone mountains that wall the great valley.

Just my opinions, not sure what the others think.

Post by: Chiletrek on October 07, 2008, 02:30:26 PM
Hello:
 Well that can make sense, and Doc may be like an ally (or maybe even an ally Ranger) as you said. Maybe the others may not know at first that Grandpa Longneck is the mentor of the MB Rangers. You may even have some added extra characters, like the Hidden Runner as messenger between the Rangers or maybe between the MB Rangers and their mentor inside the Valley.
