Roleplay / Legacy of Power

Legacy of Power is a Tokusatu/Henshin Hero based RPG that is the next iteration of the Henshin Heroes, Super Hero Taisen and Heroes' Carnival boards. Unlike all other versions, this one is split up based on franchise, each one carrying its own storyline.

In Rider World, a war between Shocker and the Riders has damaged the world greatly, and formed a Rider Alliance. With the return of Shocker, the URSA organization is thrust into a losing war.

In Ranger World, the Zangyack launched their invasion plans, only to be repelled by the Ranger alliance. Now they're planning their next move while the Rangers prepare.

In Makai World, Messiah has been killed by the legendary EDEN, Knight of God, and now Messiah's apostles are trying to take vengeance and revive their master.

In Tomica World, several years after the apparent fall of Jakkaen, the UFDA has spread even further, with a branch in every country, and the name changing from United Fire Defence Agency to Global Emergency Defense Agency, GEDA for short. However, deep below the crust of the earth, a sealed fragment of Don Kaen remained, and was absorbed by the ancient technological lifeform Baatsu, forming a new, more powerful evil, Don Baal. This new evil, with the fury of Don Kaen and the wicked vengeance of Baatsu, began creating a new empire, no longer centered around simple disasters of fires, instead creating myriad disasters across the world. In response, GEDA deployed their new Disaster Response squads, Rescue Terra, Rescue Aqua, Rescue Police, and Rescue Aero, while also redeploying their original squads, Rescue Force and Rescue Fire. Meanwhile, in the shadows, the three Madan Masters are training new wielders for the Madan Arms, the Gekiryuken, Gouryugun, and Zanryujin, aiming to vanquish Don Baal in their own way.

In Sailor World, the Shadow Galactica is on the move, and targeting Earth. The Sailors must stand in their way and protect their planet.

Tropes:

• Acting in the Dark - Everyone in the Rider story EXCEPT Grey. He attempts to steer things from one plot to another while keeping everyone in the dark about what's really happening, and trying to make sure they don't inadvertently interfere with planned events.
  • Likewise, everyone in the SAINT storyline but Crim and everyone in the Timeranger storyline but Quetz.
• Action Girl - Any female Rider and Ranger count. Notable exception is Cristina, being a scientist and being a Rider not of her own choice. All of the Sailor Senshi.
• Adaptational Heroism - Kamen Rider Wiseman is now a hero.
• After the End - Probably not as extreme as other examples, but this is what happened in Rider World to some extent following a devastating world war.
• Alternate Universe - The five worlds could be seen as this, arguably, to one another.
• Always Chaotic Evil - Most of the monsters in the Rider World, although it's hinted that they may be more straight evil, assuming they are indeed working for Shocker.
• Always Save the Girl - Subverted, Natsumi saves the ZECTrooper unit.
• Always Someone Better - Sagittarius Horoscopes to the combined URSA Riders who try to stop his assault.
• Animal Motif - URSA is usually called the bear. SAINT has a black cat (because their leader is a taking cat).
• Attack Reflector - The power of GAIA's mysterious Gaia Memory that was used to shield the Sagittarius Horoscopes.
• Authority Equals Ass Kicking - As daughter of Takatora Kureshima, Natsumi Kureshima is a field commander with the power of Zangetsu.
  • Played very straight, since she kicked Seto's ass with little effort for his reckless actions against The Emperor.
• Badass Biker - Kamen Riders, naturally.
  • Cool Bike
• Badass Crew - Most Ranger teams. URSA for the Riders (and other groups, but URSA most notably)
• Battle Couple - Kai and Rei of the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. We have yet to see it due to the game still being early, but that is their status in battle.
• BFS - ShinkenRed's Rekka Daizantou.
• Black-and-Gray Morality - URSA. While some monsters may not be hostile, they exterminate all monsters, regardless.
• Big Bad - Zangyack for the Rangers, Shocker for the Riders (potentially), Messiah's Apostles for Makai World, a fusion of Don Kaen and Baatsu for Tomica World, and the Shadow Galatica for Sailor World.
• Bodyguard Babes - A rare solitary example, with Andrea serving as this to Natsumi.
• Cast Full of Gay - Averted so far. Probably unlikely to remain as such, knowing the past...
• Combining Mecha - Ranger and Tomica Worlds. The Ranger World has their Zords, while Tomica World has their normal combining vehicles which can sometimes classify as a mecha.
• Competitive Balance: The Dekarangers and the Proto-SWAT Dekas are Jacks Of All Stats and Might Glaciers
• Curb-Stomp Battle - A few:
  • In Forest Investigation, Seto uses a Suika Lock Seed to deliver one to the Queen of Hearts Undead
  • In PROJECT ARROW, the Sagittarius Horoscopes gives one to the combined URSA forces, and then Last Raven gives one to the Dustards.
• Defrosting Ice Queen - Cristina. She starts as very emotionless, but does start to show some defrosting as time goes on, including giving Seto her Suika Lock Seed and actively joining troopers in order to attempt to detain Grant Epstein.
  • Male variant, Kai Shiba. He only really opens up around his girlfriend and fellow Shinkenger, Rei.
• Emotionless Girl - Cristina Blanco. Possibly Natsumi Kureshima.
• Expy: SAINT is basically the White Council, and the riders are the Wardens. Time will tell if the Seven Laws are in place, but if they are the Third Law is routinely broken.
• Go-Karting with Bowser - URSA consists of BOARD, ZECT, Aozora and Takeshi, as well as Yggdrasil and Smart Brain. To make this weirder, Yggdrasil still uses the Scalar System. SAINT is the only group that isn't fully involved with the Bear, for unknown reasons.
• Finishing Move - Given the source material, just about everybody has one of these.
• Fun with Acronyms - URSA (Universal Rider System Alliance) and SAINT (Society of Arcane Intelligence iN Terra). GAIA is possibly an acronym, but has yet to be revealed.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Changelings are half human half Org.
• Interpol Special Agent - The Go-Busters, as per usual.
• Kill and Replace - The MO of the Phantoms and the Worms. Possibly the MO of Shocker as a whole, but that has yet to be determined.
• Knight in Shining Armor - The Makai Knights
• Law of Chromatic Superiority - Reds are typically the leader while colors like Silver and Gold usually get the cooler stuff.
• Gender Flip - Like the previous boards, a lot of girls get suits previously worn by guys.
• Henshin Hero - A staple of this game.
• Legacy Character - Some of the belts were passed down. Zangetsu went from father to daughter, Bravo's title went from master to student.
• Make My Monster Grow - A typical tactic for Ranger monsters.
• The Man Behind the Man - Shocker to GAIA
• Massive Multiplayer Crossover
• MegaCorp - URSA. Arguably other PMCs as well.
• Mega Manning - The Pirate Rangers who have the ability to use the powers of other Rangers via their Keys.
• Morally Ambiguous Doctorate - Paul Herbert is heavily implied to be one.
• No-Sell - Sagittarius Horoscopes in his first battle. Also, Seto when he uses Suika Arms to fight the Queen of Hearts Undead.
• Powered Armour - G4 most notably.
• Psycho Rangers - The actual Psycho Rangers, as warriors of the Zangyack.
• Super Team - One of the goals of URSA is to be this in order to protect mankind.
• The Empire - The Zangyack is an evil galactic empire.
• Time Travel - TimeRangers. Subverted with Time Trains, as the war is time locked.
• Transformation Trinket - A given.
• Wham Episode - PROJECT ARROW, which very early into the game's narrative features the arrival of a true enemy who proceeds to No-Sell everything, a rescue from supporting factions and the assassinations of key figures.
