Power Ranggers: Soul Hunters (sign up)

[Kain]

When a person dies their spirit goes onto the afterlife, or at least we would like to believe it is always that easy. But the reality of it is that it isnt always that easy, while in most cases a soul passes on, there are many cases in which the soul remains trapped on earth. In such an event the trapped soul begins to despise and envy the living and this results in the soul becoming corrupted, twisted and malevolent which causes them to go insane and prey on the living. This phenomenon has been happening for countless millenia, and for every generation one group has taken it upon themselves to deal with these Soulbeasts and properly exorcise them, the secret society known as Specterus which has hidden itself among society since it's founding. Using special exorcism weapons, and suits that allow them to shift between a physical a spirit state that have been passed down through several generations within the families of the six founders of Specterus the organization has secretly protected the masses for numerous generations known as the Soul Hunters.

Now in the year 2009 it is time for the next generation of Soul Hunters to step up to the responsibility of protecting humanity from the Soulbeasts. But this time something is a bit different, it seems as if more souls are being trapped on earth, resulting in a Soulbeast outbreak larger than any before. Now not only must they continue to exorcise the Soulbeasts, but they must also unravel the mystery of what is forcing the spirits to remain on earth. Just what is it that is holding the spirits on earth? Is it something man made? Or something far more sinister? Only time will reveal the answer.

Info on Specterus: Its a world wide organization that tracks Soulbeasts and charges members of the founding families with the the responsibility of tracking and exorcising Soulbeasts. As a secret society they arent exactly fans of adding in members that dont already have a family connection to the organization (though on rare occasions orphans are adopted by families into the organization), as a result most families within the organization arrange marriages between their children in order to keep their secrets in the organization. Over all they do things in an effcient manner that keeps them hidden from the general public.


Gear:
Soul Pendant: The pendant worn by all members of the Soul Hunters team which not only identifies them as important people within the Specterus organization, but also allows them to summon the Soul Suits which allow them to take on spirit forms and fight on the spiritual plane.

Soul Weapons:
Throughout the generations a set of weapons has been passed down in order to be used by the Soul Hunters, each can change between physical and spiritual forms. Upon defeating a Soulbeast their special properties automatically send the soul to the proper afterlife.

Red: Soul Saber

Here is my bio as an example:

Name: Kain Virsayan

Age: 20

Appearance:

Occupation: Paranormal Investigator, fiction writer

Desigation: Red Soul Hunter

Weapon: Soul Saber

History: As of right now he is the oldest son of the Virsayan family and as such he has been predetermined to lead the Soul Hunter leader since before he was even born, a duty that he had later accepted with pride. Throughout his life he thoroughly embraced the study of the supernatural and paranormal, something that Specterus encourages among its younger members, and seemed to take more interest than most others. As he grew up this interest continued to grow and in time he used his vast knowledge to create a small paranormal investigation business which also acts as a cover for him and the others that allows them to more easily track any spiritual activity that may be happening, and he uses it as a way to sell a few of the books he writes which of course center around supernatural events. Personality wise he is a fairly nice guy who is pretty easy to get along with, and he is generally pretty easy going and rarely ever gets worked up about anything even if he is feeling anxious or nervous. Though he is the leader of the team he doesnt really see himself as a leader, but as a guide of sorts that does his best to keep the team doing things the right way. Unknown to him, he is also engaged to the White Soul Hunter as the result of th organization's tendency to arrange marriages between it's members, but due to the fact that something like this may distract him from his duties it has been hidden from him for the time being. Plus there is the fact that if he did know, he would likely vanish like a pizza at fat camp, never to be seen again due to his views on certain things. Even if he did know about the fact that he had only seen her once or twice before the formation of the new team he wouldnt actually feel anything for her anyway.

Like all members of the Soul Hunters he has also recieved a considerable amount of combat training, and since his weapon is the Soul Saber it was only natural that he specialized in swordsmanship. In battle he fights with a series of well aimed stabs and slashes at the various weak points of Soul Beasts in order to finish them quickly with as few casualties as possible. In addition he tends to spend almost no time strategizing and tends to make things up on the spot since he feels that most plans go awry anyway.

A good portion of the team's members seem to work for him in his paranormal investigation business, known as Geist Inc. He is a pretty good boss and pays well despite the fact that they dont usually get any actual work, though he can be difficult to deal with as he has some odd tendencies and can get a little violent if anyone steals his prized Ghostbusters memorabilia. He also doesnt like certain types of music being played in his present. His entire office seems to have a highly unprofessional look to it as well due to the fact that it, and the rest of the building has several random things that he seemed to just find andd drag back including, but not limited to, a slot machine, a pinball machine, an old school Pac Man arcade game and a bunch of old school radioes which are set up in various places around the establishment, all of which are tuned to the same station at all times.

Notes:
Note 1: I am in no way endorsing any religion and do not intend to force my own personal beliefs on anyone, im just using the general concept of an underworld and a heaven of sorts as kind of a plot device.

Note 2: In my bio it may appear that im breaking one of my own rules, but I am not. Its merely a way to make things a little more interesting and Specterus does things like that from time to time and its not like the Soul Hunters would be exempt from such things either. If anything they are more likely fo it as their family lines are considered to be the most important in the organization.

 

[Milky Rose]

[Milky Rose]

Name: Kurenai Shizuka (Shizuka Kurenai)

Age: 19 (Human Years)

Appearance:

(Succubus outfit -- typically wears a blue midriff T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers)

Occupation: Helicopter Rescue pilot

Designation: White Soul Hunter

Weapon: Soul Scythe

Bio: Although she looks like a very attractive young woman of the kind you'd find anywhere, Shizuka is actually a succubus -- a demon who takes the form of an attractive woman to seduce men in their dreams. Unlike most, however, Shizuka had an innate sense of justice, and usually did not do what the other succubae did. During one particular Soulbeast outbreak, Shizuka had somehow emerged into the real world without any recollection of her past of how she got there -- just of her identity of being a demon. As she began to explore the world around her, she was instantly attacked by one of the soulbeasts. Fortunately for the young succubus, a Specterus warrior came to her aid, instantly defeating. Having been taken in by the warrior, she slowly learned that her rescuer was a firefighter by trade, and had just lost his wife and children in a rather tragic fire caused by a Soulbeast -- a primary reason as to why the firefighter chose to become a member of Specterus. Since then, Shizuka had trained with the warrior, who she now saw as a father figure of sorts, in various things, such as martial arts, in preparation for her to become a full-fledged member of Specterus and aid in the protection of the city from the threat of the Soulbeasts -- human souls that have been corrupted beyond belief. She had also begun to learn CPR from the firefighter in hopes of being able to save lives (due to her innate sense of justice). Since then, Shizuka had gone on to train and become a helicopter pilot for the city's fire and paramedics unit, where she helped airlift various victims of fire and other accidents to a nearby hospital.

As a member of the legendary Kurenai family, one of the legendary founding families to which the firefighter was a descendant of, Shizuka was readily welcomed by the group in spite of the fact that she was merely adopted by the firefighter. Because of the nature of her occupation, Shizuka tended to take the missions very seriously. However, this does not make Shizuka a cold, uncaring person -- but rather the reverse. Having learned the value of life from her "father", Shizuka would pull out all of the stops to protect her fellow teammates. She also tries to be a "big sister" of sorts to shy Hitomi, and would beckon her to train martial arts with her, go to various toy stores in order to check out the latest Sentai Robo, or to just hang out when they are not being called upon by Specterus. She had also received word that she was being engaged to Kain, but under the condition that she keep silent about it around him in order to keep him focused on the organization's directive.

Name: Adrian Myers

Age: 22

Appearance:

Occupation: Private detective, and a professional hacker

Desigation: Green Soul Hunter

Weapon: Soul Lance

History: As a child Adrian has always been nothing but selfish. Adrian's rich and prosperous family has done nothing but gain and gain throughout the years. Their wealth was used on their son and he became to be nothing but selfish as a child Adrian would simply walk through the toy store and just point out whatever he wanted, and he would get it. Adrian never had to wait or work for anything he was just told someone what he wanted it was handed to him on a silver platter. Being able to get anything he wanted Adrian never really appreciated anything. The toys he bought one day would be replaced by the toys of the next and so on and so one until high school. Though this selfishness never lead to happiness for Adrian always he was unhappy and always he wished for something else other then this sad money filled life. That life came to Adrian when his father introduced him to his personal life of Specterus where he was the green soul hunter. This caused Adrian to question everything his whole life, the existence of ghost, life after death just so many questions. Adrian hated this life he was introduced to and with the money filled life he had Adrian knew he needed to just leave. Adrian did what he needed to for his happiness and that was when he turned fourteen and entered high school for his freshmen year he deserted the private school money filled life. Adrian took charge he told his parents not to give him anything other then on his birthday and Christmas and even then to not make it a lot, and to let Adrian do whatever it is he would want with his life and to not bother him with his decisions.

After entering high school Adrian had low end not that stylish clothes that he had bough with the money on his back and he never really told anyone about his life beforehand. Being such a simple person and not always wanting something made Adrian happy along with proud. He had stood up to his parents and made sure his life would be ok. Adrian eventually build great social bonds with his friends and he seemed to just be turning into such a better person. Adrian graduated and sadly he didn't hear much from his friends, but after going to college and getting a degree in Criminal science. With his degree Adrian opened a private detective agency where he would solve crimes for people for whatever they had really. Adrian wasn't a greedy person anymore there was never a fixed rate he always would just go with what the people could negotiate. Though Adrian's life had to take a twist.

Adrian was invited to his father's for dinner and then something strange happened walking into the house Adrian began to notice and sense something wasn't right and well he then saw them. The detective's father was there along with other elderly men and Adrian sat down and said," What is this?" Adrian's father had a pendant that he would frequently wear all day long, and Adrian said," Why does it seem like I am in a awkward position?" Adrian's father took off his pendant and he said," Adrian in the past I have tried to invite you into are society and well sadly you denied that chance. I tried all I could to raise you in the Specterus environment, but you cast it aside and with that I have to ask you do you want to be able to join in this society? If so i can tell you about much that you need to know, but well to teach you this you will then have to take my place as the green soul hunter." Adrian nodded and he said," You seem to be good people with just a society that i didn't understand at a age i needed help with and with that i apologize for not staying in it in the past, but now i am ready to join up." And with that Adrian's father taught him all he could in such a short time and passed on his soul pendant to his son.

 

[Denjin_Zaboga23]

Name: Hitomi Ohara

Age: 19

Appearance:

Occupation: Paranormal Investigator

Desgination: Purple Soul Hunter

Weapon: Soul Whip

History: The earliest thing that Hitomi remembers of her life is being raised in an orphanage, never knowing her true parents at all. Many years ago, she was found at the doorstep of said orphanage, with no clues of her real parents, other than a letter written in crimson letters that said, "Take care of this child.". Hitomi grew to be a shy, meek child, and would rarely associate with the other children in the orphanage. It was around when she was 5 that something happened with her. She could see things that the other kids and adults couldn't see with her yellow eyes. They were the spirits of children who had died while under the care of these people. When she tried to voice her complaints to the adults, the young girl would be scolded and told not to tell lies.

So she suffered quietly for the next five years, not saying anything of the things she saw. It was about that time that Hitomi was finally adopted. It wasn't a normal family, however. It was the Ohara family, which was another family in the employ of Specterus and whose members were the Purple Soul Hunter through the generations. The previous heir couldn't have any children, and so this was the reason for their adoption of Hitomi, along with receiving word about her 'gift'. The yellow eyed girl would then be taught how to defend herself, learning how to wield a whip as her weapon of choice. Once she was old enough, she joined Kain's paranormal investigation business, as a cover and also so that she could put her 'gift' to more use, as she learned through her training that she could detect Soul Beasts as well as normal spirits.

Hitomi has grown up to be a shy, easily startled woman. Though her training has toughened her up considerably to what she once was, she still usually keeps quiet and has a problem with stuttering when she speaks. Despite these problems, she has a code of ethics that she strictly follows and will not hesitate protect her friends or stand up for herself when it really counts. She doesn't know what to think about Specterus arranging a marriage for her, and is worried that she won't live up to the expectations of her future partner...whoever that may be.
