Hello:
Maybe Kjeldo is not interested at all in this idea.... but some explaining would have been quite useful though.

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?

Folks lost interest in this?

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.

perhaps it is that and perhaps not.

Yeah. Likewise, I'm up to my ears in schoolwork, so I can't really star a new RP now...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #45 on:** September 29, 2008, 11:18:16 PM

UPDATE!
I just opened the RP up in the regular section, though it may need to be moved.
Come check it out!

Kor · **Reply #46 on:** September 30, 2008, 12:51:37 AM

Who's going to play who though?

I guess I"m not the only one who found the idea still interesting.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #47 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!

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #48 on:** September 30, 2008, 09:02:52 AM

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!

LBTFan13 · **Reply #49 on:** September 30, 2008, 09:11:07 AM

Np! That's what I'm here for

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...

(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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kor · **Reply #50 on:** September 30, 2008, 11:45:38 AM

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.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #51 on:** September 30, 2008, 06:50:26 PM

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!

LBTFan13 · **Reply #52 on:** September 30, 2008, 08:53:18 PM

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.

Kor · **Reply #54 on:** September 30, 2008, 11:04:19 PM

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.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #55 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 your old Power Rangers RP can be found Here

Kor · **Reply #56 on:** October 01, 2008, 12:55:26 PM

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.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #57 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!

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #58 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...

Kor · **Reply #59 on:** October 02, 2008, 03:27:36 AM

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.
