Ka-Pow!...er Rangers

Hey there folks! So I've been messing around in the character creator lately, and I decided that I wanted to start up a static team based around the concept of power rangers. After all, Power rangers are superheroes who fight bad guys that often times turn into giant monsters.

I'd like to start up a static team sometime within the next two weeks, but first I'd like to make a list of what will need to be done to get up and running. Here's the info:

The ________ Fighters(To avoid infringing, power nor rangers cannot be used.) -

1. Red: @Justaris (Blaster)
2. Blue: @The Omega Elementress (Brute)
3. Green: @Magenta Phoenix (Controller)
4. Yellow: @PersonaMix (Troll or Dom)
5. Pink: @Cherry Cupcakes (Controller)
6. Black: @Dr. Nictunstein (Corruptor)
7. White: @Ascendant Destroyer (Tanker)
8. Orange!: @Lucky666 (Brute possibly)

This will show who is which color, and it will be updated after each person claims a spot.


Just for an example, here is a photo of a faux red:




All right, so comments will be much appreciated, and any interest as well.

One thing I would like to suggest is getting a name first, like "The Champion Fighters", or something of the sort. People can get more information by just asking me, and any type of feedback will be helpful.

P.s. I'll work on everything to avoid infringing at all costs, although there are a few concepts I'd like to preserve that shouldn't break any part of the copyright.

Seems like you're runnin' the risk to get generic'd with even the usage o' the likeness, but g'luck with your idea.

For what it's worth, if it's satire, it's completely legal or so I've been lead to believe. I'd look into it yourself if you wanted to actually give this a go.

Aye, I've been going for satire. As far as I know, satire should be legal, but I've still been checking things out.



Edit: Unfortunately, I couldn't find any specific information in the EULA, so I sent ncsoft support a detailed e-mail about this. Hopefully I can get an answer straight from "the man" to clear this up..

Honestly, just don't call them rangers and you should be fine. Power Rangers wasn't the first and last sentai show.

I'll take Black .

All righty, so for anyone interested, I was hoping to go for a bit of an elemental theme, to kind of match up with the colors, however it's not exactly a guideline, as I'm not gonna force you to play something you don't wanna play.

The cadence is all wrong, tho. How about the Polychrome Paladins? Or Khroma Champions... then have a Greek Letter on the chest of each champion (I know, Khroma is the _Latin_ root of Chroma/Chromatic/etc, not Greek, but you get the idea...)

For my part, I'd be interested (Green, backup choice Yellow), but on what schedule would the static team meet? Don't want to sign on, then be largely absent due to conflicts....

I would also be interested depending on when it runs. I will claim blue for this, red as backup if someone really wants blue!

I plan on meeting on wednesdays at maybe 6:00 EST if possible. We may also meet other days, like saturdays.


8:00 EST may be viable as well, but may be late for some.

I get out of work at six so if it was seven onwards I can definitely commit!

I think a greek idea would be grand, but I don't really like the word Chroma/Khroma. We could go for something like "The Alkimos(Strong) Champions", but options are still open.

Edit: I'd say that 7 EST would be fine. Sounds like a plan.

Awesome hope this works out, I have'nt seen a Static team roll consistently since, " The Mighty's". They were all different Tanks, costumes were the same but different colors and had a fist for a chest Symbol.....I miss those guys.

Ugh, Wednesdays are the toughest day of the week for my schedule. I'm willing and interested, but I'd probably be absent about half the time on that day.

Up to you whether that's good enough or not... either way, I hope the group forms and succeeds.

I change the day to fit peoples' schedules. I'm still working out all the kinks. We could possibly go on Saturdays if everyone is available for it. And if so, then we can start this saturday.

As for cobalt, there's not a specified date right now, so I'll try and inform you as soon as I can come up with a date.

I have the luxury of being able to rearrange my nightly activities so I can make any day work that works for the group.

From someone that has ran a static team. Picking a hard time to meet each week goes well. But from time to time real life hits hard and you can loose members.

Yes, I have run into this as well, however, level pacting might help if you're planning for everyone to reman together for XP purposes.
