Okay, guys, discussion thread is a go!

...You may discuss. Questions, world-building suggestions, or just chat - anything goes.

So we're being dispatched into random places to fight urban legends? How does it work? Do we get to choose ALA Megaman?

Also will the training be part of what we roleplay? And do we have to come up with Transformation poses?

Well, you guys are mostly new recruits (except Joel), so the RP begins with all the new recruits waking up on a helicarrier in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, en route to main TAISEN Student Base, Academy Island. Following that, you get briefed and introduced.

The missions are sort of a combination of MOTW-style plots and superspy infiltration missions - most of the time, the monsters' location and identity are vague, and so some snooping will have to be done. The missions are handled in groups, and agents are deployed by Mission Control. Each team (the PCs, due to not fitting anywhere else, are in their own) is overseen by a main co-ordinator, and each individual agent has a crew of support personnel.

It's not so much choosing as it is 'you go where they send you,' but I'm open to suggestions as to missions.

Most of the training will take place over various timeskips - though TAISEN has an Instant Expert-ish mind-altering device in use, it's only going to be used to give the recruits basic facility with the skills they need to know. Brief training sessions can be roleplayed, though, and the entirety of the first arc is a training mission.

As for Transformation Poses... feel free to adapt the canon ones or come up with your own, it's no big deal. Has to be cool, though.

'Behold my trendy windmill belt! Now I have armor!' doesn't really fit the mold. :p

Well you'll have to blame the original creator for that. I would personally just spin it by hand.

I was thinking of joining as Deka Red/SPD red earlier but realized, being a ranger is no fun when you do it alone, I almost regret picking rider 1 because there's no Rider 2.

[up] Dunno. Solo Rangers can do it alone, as demonstrated by some of our players here...

Roll call, who's here?

No problem. Since Gavan in this universe is part of the Space Police, you guys can team up.

Perhaps he's on loan to TAISEN. Is he still the same guy?

Yes he would still be Joel, but the backstory would have to be changed. I'll take care of it right now.

*debates switching from MagiBlue to one of the other Dekarangers to cut my watchload down*

Alright. With the RP due to start in a day or so, let's have some world-building!

Basically, let's start with this issue - Natalie's Cell Medals were inexplicably gotten... somehow. How did they get there? Where did the Greeed come from in this world, and where are the Core Medals?
