Let me know what you think? Bad Idea? Good Idea? Good Idea with bad Backround? Vice Versa?

I'll start the 'pilot' tomorrow, especially if you like the idea.

Power Rangers: Zodiac


Jaykaylynn Anne Smith- Red Fire Ranger
Known As: Jake
Age: 16
Hair: Black (dyed), short, spiked, tipped in Silver (dyed)

Character Note: Jake was moved unwillingly to Faireview Heights three months before the story takes place when her mother died in a car accident, and he was seeking a place to escape too. Before she was moved, she was the team captain of her school’s Color and Winter Guards, as well as a ‘revered’ member of her school’s dance team. She was trained since she was a little girl in many different styles of dance, including Classical Ballet, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Swing, and Tap. She still practices all of these styles, but didn’t seek joining Faireview High’s Dance Team.

She sings in all three of Faireview High’s choirs (Traditional, Swing, and A Cappella). She’s considered slightly ‘popular’, but doesn’t take much notice of her school status.

He plays in Faireview High’s Marching Band and Orchestra, as well as being the lead Guitarist of his own ‘garage band’ named Freudian Complex. Scott was born in Faireview Heights, but has only spend a total of three years in the town, the first year of his life, and the most recent two years.


Four Megazords combine to form the Zodiac Ultra-Megazord

MENTOR
Christoph Zareb
Known As: Christoph, Chris
Body inhabited by the ancient force named Erimentha, protector of the Zodiac Morphers and Zords.

ENEMY
Raven Corbett
Known As: Raven
Body inhabited by the ancient force named Melantha, the dark goddess, determined to destroy Humanity.


THE STORY
The Zodiac Rangers were the sworn protectors of Xantara, the eternal protector of Humanity. In the distant past, Xantara was in danger. Melantha, still in her own body, had discovered it’s hiding place, and was coming closer to destroying it, allowing her to end humanity. In a final desperate move, the Rangers combined their energies to hide Xantara deep underground in what would one day be Eastern Oregon, surrounded by the Zodiac Zords, and the Zodiac Morphers. Erimentha collapsed the chamber, and faced against Melantha. They battled, resulting in both of their spirits being removed from their bodies, and trapped.
Several hundred years later, in 2004, is when our Story begins.

ZODIAC HQ
The Zodiac Headquarters are hidden deep underneath Faireview Heights. The Headquarters are the recently renovated home to the Zodiac Rangers. It is a cavern with five entrances, one in a cave on the bank of the Dalit River, one in a cave at the base of the Dormant St. Nuria Volcano, one in a cave at the peak of Mount Isaura, one in a cave in the small Adamina valley, and one in the basement of Faireview Heights High School. The HQ is the home of the dormat morphers, and all twelve Zords.

I actually like this idea a lot. The idea of combining PR with the Zodiac signs never occured to me before. good form my friend.

A good idea. Try not to make it too much like "Zodiac Five" or "Power Rangers Zodiac Force"

*sheepish* I've never heard of either of those, so if I end up with similar plots, It'll be purely by accident.

I'm glad you guys like the idea, the 'pilot' of sorts is currently 'under construction'. Keep an eye out for it.

I will NOT correct it, it's MEANT to be that way.

Would you really want to see Virgo the Virgin Zord, Gemini the Twin Zord, Pisces the Dual Fishes Zord, Libra the Scales Zord?

I changed what needed to be changed to make sense, and I'm not going to have Aquarius the Water Bearer Zord.

You'll notice each Megazord config has three zords,two 'real' animals and one 'mythological' animal.

Get over it, It is my fan fic, if you don't like your sign being altered to make sense, don't read the fic.

Thank you.

I think this sounds really good, sorry for a late reply, but I just now saw it, for some reason. I hope this fanfic comes out great, it sounds so awesome, and in my head, has so much potential, please write it as far as you can go. Also, I would like to talk to you about it over YahooIM, if you want, my name is is my profile.

Burgandy fire, i meant no disrespect. i just thought that AQUArius sounded a little funny in the air set. but as you it is your fic and can do anything you want in it.

BurgundyFire
07-14-2003, 01:57 PM
Aquarius is an Air Zord because Aquarius, while being the 'water bearer', is actually an air sign. I didn't make all of this up off the top of my head, each sign has it's elemental designation, three per element, and those are what I used.

It just ended up that the Air got gipped by not having ONE truly Zord-worthy sign, so I was forced to change it a bit.

I did not know that (obviously), in any case though, the fic sounds great.

This is really cool and i like it a lot, but i have one problem: the Chimera is a fire based creature that lived in valcanos and other hot reagions. Every thing else is is right on the money for symbolism and matching the signs and animals.

I know the Chimeara is Fire Based, but I couldn't think of another reasonable Mytho animal that was water based and sounded decent as a zord (WHo would fear the MErMaid zord??)

If you have any suggestions, I'm open.

The is a sea surpent called a Basilisk. I had some problems trying to come up with a water animal.






And by the way, i use a mermaid in my fan fic and it is really verisitle when it comes to the megazord formation. (like the Red Dragon Tunderzord) and the tail can be the sword for the megazord.

Okay, I changed it to Hydra...


It's not really water based either, but it's better than Chimeara, right?

What do you think? I also added character notes to all four rangers.

And I'm maybe three pages into the 'pilot'.

Sliver Tyger
07-19-2003, 03:09 AM
Boy you must be a thinker. and the Hydra is a water based monster but lives on the land. i was the best in my Myth and Sifi class, and i cant believe that i forgot that monster. :rolleyes: Oh well, i'll get over it ........... sooner or later.
LOL

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to reading it. It's nice to see another take on elements and a truly original one.

The one thing that seemed a bit odd were the morphing and zord calls.

While "Water signs, rise within fits.... "fire signs, ignite within," "Air signs, soar within," and "Earth signs, quake within" <-- I know weak.

The "Come Hither" part of the Zord calls just seems a bit out of place because I assume each Ranger is going to call them in the heat of battle, explosions flashing beside them, as they raise up their arm and shout... "Protectors of <element>, Come Hither!"

Maybe "Protectors of Earth Ignite <Rise, Soar, Quake>" or something like that... for I'm sure Jake or Chloe will have come hither eyes.

Again, taket he comments at their face value. I think you have a good idea and look forward to reading the pilot.

Sheep to be precise. You're more than three months older than my kid sister and exactly 8 years younger than my best bud Russell.

Sliver Tyger
07-20-2003, 11:56 AM
The Goat and Sheep are two totally different signs, like four years appart. (And its Ram not Goat):D




Hey lightbulb, BurgundyFire, if you dont have a set of the sixth ranger( or if you are even going to have one) use the chinese zodaic as the sixth ranger. You like?? thats 12 animals for the ranger and a large amount of megazord combos.

Ya Think??

BurgundyFire
07-20-2003, 01:49 PM
Actually, I'm planning on keeping it just these four rangers, no five rangers, and no sixth ranger either.

I thought it would make it much more interesting.

Yeah.

Purple Owl Zord

The animals of the Chinese Zodiac are as follows: Pig, Rabbit, Dragon, Sheep, Tiger, Horse, Snake, Dog, Monkey, Rooster, Ox, & Rat.

I just had an idea.


If anyone can find me a good website explaining etc. the Chinese Zodiac, I need someone for the 'generals' of the Bad Guys.


And I'd use the Chinese Zodiac for this, if I can get it explained for me.


Thanks in Advance,

Sliver Tyger

The Chinese Zodaic is based on a 12 year cycle with each year being one of the twelve animals. Each animal has a certin power and weakness. Also each animal has attractons and disattractions to the other animals. The Rat (thats me as you now know) likes being around Dragons, Oxen and Dogs, but dislikes Snakes, Tigers, and Rosters.

to find out the spicifics you might want to do a Yahoo search (or your favorite search engine;) ) That is how i get most of my info and from chinese restaurant table mats :D LOL


That is pretty much all that i can remember right now (im very scatter-brained)

Wow. Just by reading your info I can tell that you care about what you write. It seems like you probably have even more ideas than you're putting down, too. I'm anticipating your first chapter.
