Power Rangers: Dino Thunder vs. Rangercrew!(CC)

Name: Alejandro Moreno (Some prefer to call him "Alex")

Age: 31

Appearance:



Ranger Designation: Tricera Blue

Personality:

The source of experience, combined with a natural yet unrepentant naivete. Having been raised by an old fashioned family left Alejandro in a mentality that even in the bleakest, there has to be a ray of hope. Noble, but in times of need, a trait that can be more harm than good, as something that he will begin discovering as he delves into the coming conflict. Alex is an avid reader, collecting information on both Paleontology and the Power Rangers, having a collection of newspapers reports passed down from his parents.

Calmed, collected, and always critical, he prefers to analyze rather than head on attack. Always has words of encouragement and support to his teammates, while also providing experience. Not a complete martial artist per se, he uses a mix between MMA style and grappling to defend himself, while relying on ranged fire weapons for eliminations.

History:

Life has always irony in its veins. In this case, Alejandro Moreno's pending destiny has always been intertwined with those who stepped to protect the world.

Coming from immigrants that established themselves in Angel Grove during the 90's, his parents gave birth to Alejandro at the turn of the century, a light of hope for the Moreno family after being witnesses themselves to a planetary incursion that the Space Rangers deterred, humanity reaching for the stars with a Colony and of course, the "First Contact" as they referred to when the first generation of Rangers arrived.

Having been raised in an environment where hero worship was at a high peak, he had no problem absorbing all the stories his parents told him during his childhood. Stories of how five heroes raised from the shadows to oppose an empress of evil, and as the fight escalated, so did the side of light was prepared. Alejandro soon took those words into his heart, as he also dreamed of one day perhaps being one of those multicolored warriors called to defend the world. But as it was, his parents also instilled in his mind that although these people were heroes, he must first become a man of honor, and that includes responsibilities that the real world lay on us all.

Going through his primary years, he became an honor roll student, while also having a knack for the books of dinosaurs and evolution, perhaps having a dinosaur motif on the MMPR inclined his tastes a way. Preferring to spend his recesses head deep in books instead of talking with others left him in a state of a loner, although he was happy to help anyone who asked or needed. This trend went well until the end of his Middle School tenure as tragedy struck in the Moreno family life.

Carla, Alejandro's mom, passed away in a tragic car accident that also struck his father in a wheelchair. A devastating loss for both father and son, which Alejandro took the heaviest toll. For two years he became reclusive, as he did not want to let anyone inside, even rejecting the idea of heroes as he believed they were not for him and his mom. Marcos (Alejandro's father) did not lose hope however, and was there for his son through these dark times. He confided in him that even though losses are part of life, there are things that not even the mighty can deter. He continued to collect the news-clips his son refused to, and showed him how time after time, those same soldiers he lost hope continued to do the good fight, as he understood that to save a planet, they need to think globally, and for that they might lose touch with the rest. For one life lost millions are saved, something unavoidable as part of the battle against the darkness. Little by little and in time, he was able to cope with the loss and eventually became his self again, with some changes.

High school years came and went, what was once a lone boy became a popular young adult that was well liked among his classmates. Having understood that a balance is needed, he reached out more to others while maintaining his academic duties, now more than ever as he was preparing to apply for a degree in Paleontology at a prestigious university. Having got his diploma and acceptance, he decided to begin life on his own. With some support from his father who cashed in some of his savings, Alejandro set foot to his next chapter, full of mystery and wonderment, as any during these times.

A new life began at Silver Hills University after achieving the scholarship. Alejandro delved his time between bones and book, with a balanced training in Jiu Jitsu and meditation to relax his mind. Year after year he earned the trust and recommendation of his teachers, which in time would help him cement an internship at Mercer Industries, a dream he aspired from a long time. Out of a senior class of 40, only four were selected to be part of the top R&D department, news that he shared with his father, as he did after he moved from Angel Grove. What started as a simple internship became a full fledged job opportunity, refining his knowledge and his craft, while also helping his and his father financially.

Years passed and now Prof. Alejandro Moreno in his decision to engage in new challenges accepted a part time job at Southern Cross as a Teacher while lending his knowledge to the SC Museum of History.

Name: Nick McNeal

Age:22

Appearance:

Ranger Designation: Tyranno Red

Personality: Nick has a good heart, sometimes to a fault. He tries to see the good in everybody and never gives up on anyone he considers a friend. Very selfless and ultimately wants to put a smile on everyone's faces. He manages to do so usually unintentionally. Nick puts everyone first instead of himself and sometimes that just results in others taking advantage of his kindness.


History: From the time he was born Nick was able to put smiles on the faces of people especially on his grandmother's face. Since childhood Nick enjoyed putting smiles on his grandmother's face. He'd tell her knock knock jokes, dress in his father's oversized business jackets and shoes, and would even sing (horribly).

As Nick got older, his grandmother's health began to decline, Nick however was determined to keep her smiling through these tough times. On her deathbed, granny asked all to leave other than Nick. She told him he was her knight in shining armor, while everyone else was giving in to the sadness Nick remained positive and full of life. She told him to never lose that and that one day it would lead him to a wonderful path in life. She left him with a red pendant necklace with the word 'smile' carved into it.

Years after that, Nick became manager at a snack hut, his good attitude and personality made the snack hut begin buzzing. It soon became the go to place after school, or work for many. Nick began to be known all through town, ever since its rise in popularity many companies have been trying to buy the snack hut off of Nick but he stands his ground each time, wanting to keep it the way it is and continue to build positivity with his community. That wasn't the only thing Nick was doing for his community however, he was the star basketball player for The Southern Cross Academy, as well as one of their top students. Nick gained popularity at SC but even with that there was something more he wanted to do for the world, that's when he met Professor Moreno who educated him on the history of warriors known as Power Rangers, hearing these tales inspired Nick to even more for his town. Little did he know, he'd be doing a lot more than he originally thought.

Eh, I don't see why not.

Name: Akande Onyango
Age: 22
Appearance:


Team: Power Rangers Ancient Knights
Ranger Designation: Yellow Saber Knight Ranger
Elemental Power: Lightning
Ranger Gear: Ancient Knight Morpher, Knight Souls, Yellow Dino Crystal, Knight Cycle
Weapons: Ancient Sword, Saber Slasher
Zord: Saber Knightzord

Personality: Akande is a serious individual who takes his role as a Power Ranger seriously, thus Owain putting him as the leader of the team. He's quite of a loner and prefers fighting the Black Order on his own rather than be on the team, not because of him refusing to get to know people, instead, he doesn't want people to get hurt for what had happened to his father during his fight with the Black Order. Aside from his seriousness, Akande is much of a fun-loving person once people get to know him more. He enjoys gymnastics and is often trained by former Pink Ranger, Kimberly Hart and loves to watch superhero movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe having to be one of his tastes and he even likes to spend his free time reading.

History: Akande Onyango was born to a Kenyan mother who is a teacher and a Nigerian father who has served in the military for years. During his childhood, Akande looked up to his father who has protected the country and has risked his life in protecting the people who were caught in the war. He wanted to be heroic just like him, so he started to train himself in learning how to defend himself and the people around him and that prompted his mother to put him in martial arts training and in gymnastics where he began to become tough and quick, but also agile and flexible. Soon, he finds himself competing in karate tournaments and gymnastic competitions where he got to make wins and losses but he never gets the validation he had gotten from people to get to his head because all he cares about is self-defense and protecting the people around him.

By the time Akande got older, he has graduated high school and was looking forward to college and he was enrolled to Angel Grove State University, where he found himself pretty much surrounded by large crowds, and he wasn't that sociable due to his studious streak and focusing on his martial arts and his gymnastics. He was met by his future Rangers, but he managed to keep to himself before he became the Yellow Ranger and he often spends most of his time watching movies on Netflix peacefully if not doing martial arts or gymnastics. As he got himself comfortable, he decided to make some friends for himself, but after the earthquake struck the city and the Black Order was freed, he was recruited by Owain who tells him about the Power Rangers and its history. When Akande began to remember the Power Rangers, he was only a small child when they first protected the Earth and he tells Owain that he has heard of the said heroes and the sage gives him the Yellow Dino Crystal, where he was imbued with the essence of the Saber-toothed Tiger, and possessing the elemental power of Lightning. After training with Owain, he was given the Ancient Knight Morpher and he became the Yellow Ranger.

Akande didn't know what was going on, but he started to realize that he was now being put in the same position his father was in during his time in the war. However, it didn't take long for Akande's parents to find out about his identity as a Power Ranger and it started to worry them when they saw him fighting Azaroth and his army. One day, Azaroth unleashes an attack and it got his family involved where his father saw Akande being beaten by one of the Azaroth's monsters. As he was about to be finished off, his father quickly ran up and took the attack which nearly killed him, much to Akande's horror. He was put under an indefinite coma which the nurses in the hospital were trying their best to keep the man alive. This caused a shift in Akande's demeanor and Owain tries to comfort him, but the new Ranger refused. Now, Akande is still fighting the Black Order for he had trained himself harder than ever, refusing to ever form a team, fearing that they might end up like his father did. But eventually, he will soon realize how important a team means for the Power Rangers.

UPDATE: After much consideration and mulling it over, we decided to let it be included, so Yellow Ancient Knight can be part of the RC team.

Name: Jaxon Thomas

Appearance: 

Ranger Designation: Beast Rush Red

Ranger Team: Power Rangers Beast Rush (It was played on the old RC forum before we moved)

Personality: Outgoing, Fun, Kind spirited, Jaxon is the all around good guy. He doesn't intervene in anyone's matters unless someone gets a little physical or abusive. Martial Arts and Amateur Wrestling background. He's a great friend and doesn't mind helping others. In his downtime he practices his martial arts and wrestling and is a self critic.

History: Jaxon was the Red Ranger and former leader of the Beast Rush Power Rangers. He led the team to victory and since then has kept a quiet normal life. Since the victory, Jaxon has graduated High School, and became a black belt in Kung Fu. His style is the Imperial Lion, Strong and Fierce. He has also participated in Amateur Wrestling in high school as well as after high school, he attended WildKat Wrestling school to further his wrestling into Pro Wrestling.

However, during that time, he never lost sight of what truly brought him to the table. Being a Ranger. He still kept his morpher. Being a ranger taught him that there is hope for the world. There is good in the world and when the day comes, he'll don the power again. Sometimes he has to tell himself that he only needs to use the power if absolutely necessary. When he isn't busy working on his fighting skills, he works as an assistant instructor at a local dojo in town. He loves teaching kids the same values that being a ranger has taught him. Never escalate a fight but defend yourself if it becomes necessary.

After discussing with Mr. Silver, we have decided to cast Mariescott as both Fiona and Genevieve. We both know she is a terrific player and will bring a lot to this crossover project.

With the two teams set (pending the post of Elena's bio) we are ready to go. We will wait a bit until we can start the chapter but it will be soon so no worries

In the meantime, i am more of the idea of being capable to reach everyone in good time, so i tend to do group skype sessions with my teammates (as how the DT team can attest to) so for the new players, if possible please add me on Skype as AndresArayM.

This is the first stage in something grand both Mr. Silver and I hope to achieve not only for this site but RV, so from both of us thank you very much for being part of this. All suggestions, ideas and comments are open and welcomed, so please let us know. This is your game as well and together we hope we can make it a great one.
