Celestial/Goseiger

[Ren Nakamura]

These powers are locked and off-limits. The Celestial Rangers failed; their powers are destroyed. They can't come back.

Furthermore, bringing in the Gosei powers would be asinine, with how this site works, so yeah. This team is gone, completely gone for all intents and purposes.

[Shiro/Chiharu, Takayuki/Junko]

Because I was running a story which can no longer proceed. It was better than leaving the powers in eternal limbo, because at least this is a conclusion.

Skype me for more.

[Peter Saint]

Yeah I don't ... what?

Can we get a bit more of an explanation on this? Maybe one that everyone could read?

[Katsu Arai]

Here.

And if there is an objection from you, Cross, then Bladerun has the powers. Regardless, it's under my control and out of the game.

As for more of an explanation, the team existed to play with the MMPR/PRDT idea of balancing school, life and Ranger duties. It was supposed to be a group of six students having to deal with school, life, their duties and growing up. However, due to time constraints, the entire school point got lost, and there's no point in letting this story continue without the original point going on.

[The Hathaway Foundation]

Comic book time perhaps?

[Katsu Arai]

What?

[Ren Nakamura]

If we had blogs, I'd put this there. But here is the story. This day is special, as for why I'm divulging all of this now.

I can’t believe it has already been one year.

One year ago today I wrote the profiles for Cal, Liam, Yana and Code, and finalized a lot of my Celestial plans. Staying up until 5 am for our party after graduation at the school, waking up at like 1 or 2 pm, biking, coming home and working on the profiles while the day (or night, rather) was in my mind. Because I had just come off of some of the best days of my life, and damn it, I loved the Celestial idea. Playing it like MMPR or Dino Thunder; playing the school theme, six friends being forced to be Rangers, balancing their school lives, personal lives, and everything else with these new responsibilities.

I even remember the Magnum, P.I. that aired that night while I worked again on some parts of their profiles. So much in my memory of those days; some of the best days of my life. The Celestials were meant to be another such high (well, high for the RPG, as if it would be for my personal life, that’s pathetic). It did become important to me, however, because of how it was built up with such memories.

In the end, my set was posted at the end of July. The 28th. Aaron was the 29th. Aaron was good; exactly what I wanted to see out of this. Sure, they weren’t friends to begin with, which was briefly in Cal and Liam’s profiles, but whatever. I had already removed that part, that the six were friends to begin with. It was good. Awkward to recruit slowly like this, but it worked as a character. August 5th was Eri. Not too long a wait. And then Eri is Japanese and has a lot of Goseiger stuff inside of her profile. One look at that, and I made it get changed. Maybe this is why I hate seeing canon stuff in original areas (Lost Galaxy actress as a Fury Ranger, for instance. Or Kotoha being a Shinkenger. She’s used since she was the first one, minus Kaoru, who I expected and didn’t mind). I was just happy to have that stuff gone, and approved it. A big mistake, since it was against what I wanted. It was against what my plans were, and I would regret this.

Not long later came Ryosuke, on the 15th. I didn’t approve him, I wasn’t around. I’m very sure I was at my cabin without internet access, based on the date. Again, no connection to the school theme, and Japanese. Pissed again.

And there goes the slow recruiting of members, which was absolutely against the plan at hand. I had the villains planned out. Warstar was to be first, then Yuumaju, Matrintis, probably Warstar again (I loved the designs), and Brajira. I didn’t name them all yet. Brajira was to be the true form, and the Bladerun forms were his avatars. Not the same body, but all different bodies he would control from wherever he really was. Probably was going to have a human form as well.

Liam was to lose Green, become Leon until the final battle where he could no longer become Leon due to strain, and Green was meant to be lost. It was only thanks to Deviantart months later that I chose for a woman to become the new Green after Liam become Leon, because I liked the idea of a female Green here.

Jump to January, lost promises of who was actually making Yellow, and I finally get the final member. Japanese? Eh…I could live with this one, because at least she was a student. That’s what I cared about. Students. Could the school plots finally start? No, of course not. It would be weird. Warstar (Star Annihilation Army) is fighting like it’s a war, and they’ve already defeated a handful of the Army’s monsters with the individual recruitment threads (which I despised). So it made sense to wait for Yuumaju to come around and play with them for school plots, seeing as they were the magical based ones, and I could play with that aspect for school plots.

So I decide to skip a handful of the Warstar monsters, say they were killed off-screen, and make a new thread finally for the end of Warstar. Making them constantly? No, bad idea. It would die that way. So I wait, put up another one, and it goes about a full month with nothing. And then I realize that my days are about to be dominated by school and training, so now I’m in a hurry, especially with graduation coming around, and the student Rangers are seniors. So yeah, kind of in a hurry to do what they were meant to be in the first place.

Students. Balancing their lives. BEING STUDENTS.

And so the Warstar defeat starts to happen, and I just decide to make the Annihilation Army all three factions, just different divisions inside of it, with Bladerun still just being an avatar for the true Brajira character to be using from elsewhere.

First finale thread done, no problem. Running short on time, but there’s enough time to at least do Yuumaju and do the school stuff. I’m panicking, I don’t want my beloved plot to die like this or time out, not with all of these precious memories and my passion here. And then it does. I end up threatening that if these don’t finish, I don’t care and Bladerun wins, I get like two posts out of that one. And that was about it. Maybe one more post, and it dies. It dies with my having a week left, because I kill it. Out of anger, I kill it.

All of these precious memories that I built the plot up with are tarnished in one area. My beloved plot – probably my favorite plot, if it had worked out – dead. Not dead halfway through, or dead almost at the end, where things can happen offscreen or something. No. DEAD BEFORE IT BEGAN. Do you know how infuriating that is? How much time I put into tracking down Gosei Cards, making the characters, and everything else? These minor things that would have made it more in-depth, more real? All of it wasted, and for nothing.

So if you wanted to know why the Goseiger/Celestial powers are gone forever in game, this is the out of game reason. Because of my passion. I REFUSE to allow anyone else to use them. After taking something I had loved and just destroying it utterly like this, I’d rather it remain dead than see anything else come of it.

And there’s my story. Reply if you want, complain to me if you want, I don’t care. On this day, I just don’t care. My memories are returning, and my joy is back, but my anger is still there at the loss of this plot.
