Goddamn you Linkara. Damn you to hell
From The Pages Of... RPG APPLICATION
Screen Name: Green Lantern
Character you'd like to portray: Tommy Oliver, the White Ranger
Superhuman powers, traits, other attributes of interest: When unmorphed, Tommy is an amazing martial artist and very athletic. Using the power of the Morphing Grid, Tommy is imbued with enhanced strength, and agility to expand his fighting skills. He is also given access to the spirit of the White Tiger in the form of Saba, a talking Saber and the White Tigerzord, a giant robot tiger that also has a man shaped fighting form when the need arises.
Originally appearing from (which comic, and company?): Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers volumes 1 and 2, Hamilton Comics
Fictional history of the character (as you're going to interpret it): Angel Grove was once a vast metropolis in southern California, but that all changed when Rita Repulsa was freed from her prison of 10,000 years. She detected the energy of her bitter rival Zordon of Eltar residing in the Badlands east of Angel Grove, and knew that to conquer this planet, she would have to defeat him and his champions, but also noticed that there were other champions appearing in the world at the time. She sealed Angel Grove and the surrounding area from the rest of the world, making it so that the citizens didn't even notice the change. Zordon recruited six teenagers to become his champions from the local high school. These six teens were given access to the morphing grid, a source of immense power. When channeling this power, they would become faster, stronger, and more agile and have access to both weapons of powerful energy and mechanizations known as the powerzords. Jason, Zack, Trini, Kimberly, Billy and Tommy became the Red, Black, Yellow, Pink, Blue and Green Rangers respectively. However, in a climatic battle outside of Angel Grove, the original Dinozords were destroyed, as was the green power coin. This left Tommy depowered and separated from his friends and former teammates. It wasn't long before Zordon realized the five remaining Rangers needed Tommy's aid. With Billy's aid, Zordon and Alpha-5 reconstructed new Zords for the Rangers first, basing them instead on mythical and wild creatures this time. After completing the new Zords the three forged a new power coin, with more pure energy than the other five, and connected it to the morphing grid. Bestowing this new coin to their lost Ranger, Tommy then became the White Ranger, and the new leader of the team. Rita has spent the last few years trying to best the Power Rangers while also working to free her husband, the Lord Zedd from stasis, for with his help, she knows they can break their focus from just Angel Grove and take over the world as a whole.
Hero, Villain, or Walking the line?:

List a few reasons why you chose this character: Nostalgia's playing a big part, mainly in part due to Linkara's Power Rangers reviews series. Tommy has always been my favorite Ranger, whether it's MMPR, Zeo, or Dino Thunder (we won't mention the other one he was in...)
Write two complete sentences explaining what you can bring to this RPG: I will bring teenagers with attitude. Along with that I bring two villains who will create absurd object based monsters that grow and try to crush the world beneath their anthropomorphic feet.
How many days a week you intend on posting in the RPG: 1-4
Please provide a small sample post as your character, at least three paragraphs and one line of dialogue in length: "There Zordon. It's done. The focused spectrum of morphing grid energy is channeled into the new coin. The link should be active shortly, I have also begun to link the coin to the spirit of the Tiger like you had asked."
"Good work Billy. The process is nearly complete. Please contact the others, along with the new Ranger. It is time to unveil what we have been working on."
"Oh thank goodness. The secrets were about to melt my circuitboards Zordon. It is very difficult to keep these things from the Rangers."
"You're telling me, Alpha."
Billy touched his wrist communicator and waited for the response chime.
"Jason here, what's up."
"Jason it's Billy. Are the others with you? Zordon needs us right away at the Command Center."
"We'll be there shortly."
Shortly after the two disconnected a column of white light materialized in the room, dissapating to reveal Tommy Oliver, the former Green Ranger, left powerless by one of Rita's more ruthless monsters.
"Whoa. What's going on? Billy? Zordon? Alpha? What's wrong? The others in trouble? What can I do? I'll do whatever I can, regardless of the power, just point me at the problem."
"Ah, Tommy. That is just the attitude we need. You have lost your connection to the morphing grid, but not your heart. That is the most powerful thing any of us have. That is the reason the three of us have gone through an extraordinary effort these past months, strengthening the morphing grid and recreating the zords. We took the energy that was disconnected with the destruction of the green coin and strengthened it with all the other colors, forming a connection to the White Light of the spectrum. There is no more suitable candidate to wield this power than you, Tommy Oliver. Will you accept this responsibility and do your best to protect the world from Rita Repulsa once more?"
"Do you have to ask Zordon? Of course I will."
"I would not have suspected otherwise Tommy. Prepare to accept the connection."
"Zordon, the others have arrived. Aye aye aye. We aren't ready."
"The power transfer is complete Alpha, you may transfer me back to the main chamber to speak with the others."
The light showing Zordon's head, flickered and went black, leaving the robot alone with the Blue Ranger and the new White Ranger, as he flickered back into his main tube in the central room of the Command Center.
"Zordon, what's going on? Billy said it was urgent."
"Yeah, and where is Billy?"
"Is he okay?"
"Billy is fine. He will be with us shortly. I have summoned you all, because since the loss of the Green Ranger, you have all been seeming loss. It has been easier for Rita to gain the upper hand on you, and your hearts seem to be less in the fight than they were prior. I understand this feeling, for I too miss Tommy, but if we don't defeat Rita, the whole world will be lost."
"We're trying our best Zordon. But without a full force, it's just harder."
"I could not agree more. Alpha, Billy, please bring out our project."
"I knew Billy was up to something."
Billy and Alpha came out of the workshop, Billy carrying his helmet and Alpha carrying what appeared to be a cutlass with a tiger head on the hilt.
"Guys, let me introduce to you the newest member of the team."
Stepping out from behind Billy came the White Ranger.
"Given the power of the White Tiger, I'm pleased to welcome back, our buddy Tommy!"
As Tommy takes off his helmet, there's a shriek of delight as Kimberly rushes up to him and embraces him, before kissing him passionately as the others stood shocked at this turn of events.
"It's good to be home. Now lets kick some Witch butt! IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
