Year: 2009

Setting: Reefside (AU a few years after Ninja Storm)

Plot:

Groom Lake, better known as Area 51, is an installation so secret, the government agencies and contractors that have connections there, deny its existence. Throughout the years, many researchers have conspired of alien activity occurring within the corridors of the government protected facility, but none have proven fact that there were aliens, UFOs, and other intergalactic lifeforms within the extremely tough steel walls of Area 51. Area 51 is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number 51 refers to a 6-by-10-mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the government will not discuss. The site was selected in the mid-1950s for testing of the U-2 spyplane, due to its remoteness, proximity to existing facilities and presence of a dry lake bed for landings.

This secret location was created by one Tony LeVier (Great Uncle of Darius LeVier) who was given the task to find a suitable location for nuclear weapon testing. Although few people assumed that there were aliens in Area 51, they were indeed right. The first capturing of Alien occurred back in the late 1960s. A water-filled alien, capsuled by Tony LeVier himself. Many people, within the government, praise LeVier for his accomplishment and renamed a section of the secret facility shortly after his death. Surely enough, many more aliens were captured, but it was the first capture that proceeded to start a war among world nations. It turns out, the alien that LeVier captured was a primitive Hydro Demon. Earth would pay for this arrest in the future.

In the year 2007, a young high school senior named Darius LeVier had been staying after school in the computer lab, researching information about his great uncle. He had heard stories previously about him by his mother and father, who both worked for Area 51, and he wanted know more about this. His best friend, Mario James, was also the offspring of an Area 51 employee, Dr. James. Mario expressed to Darius of a way to hack into Area 51's computers and located secret government information. Later, the two successfully completed the hack at the James's home and learned all about this new threat on Earth: the Hydro Demons. Although, the information screen shut down five seconds after the upload. Nonetheless, the boy saw another opportunity to learn more when they saw two internship slots open to high school seniors. Of course, the boys received the nod, being the offspring of Lake officials.

About a year and a half had past within the internship and Darius and Mario were assigned to a project called Operation Samurai, an alleged operation that was made to build suits in destroying incoming asteroids. Mario enjoyed the process, being a Japanese artist himself; however, Darius found the project a bit tedious and he wanted to have a more involved part within the organization. Darius secretly stole some stray parts from the Operation Samurai project and proceeded in building his own suit. One afternoon, Darius and Mario spied in on a meeting and overheard a few words "Hydro Demons...-murmur-...approaching...-murmur-...danger."

Sure enough, within five weeks... the Hydro Demons arrived. Floating from the sky was a giant, orb of red powdery energy that proceeded to slam into Area 51. Facility maintenance sent out an alert on the building that aliens were attacking. Darius and Mario immediately ran outside. Unfortunately for Darius, he did not have a chance to say goodbye to his parents, unsure if he would ever see them again or not. As they got outside, the skies were dark red and gloomy. Dr. James pulled up in an off road Jeep and pulled the boys in, immediately driving away from the premises. As Darius turned around in his seat, he watched as Area 51 blew up in red smoke. They were the only survivors.

The trio arrived in the James's hometown of Reefside, California, located many miles north of Angel Grove. Dr. James drove them to his mansion and parked on the inside. Later, they would receive a phone call from the government. How the government knew they were alive is still in question today. Nonetheless, the government warned them that if they said anything to the public about the happenings in Area 51, they would be arrested. The government was also wanting the Operation Samurai materials in blueprints. Dr. James immediately hacked off their tracking devices, leaving the government wondering where they were. Darius expressed that it was their duty to protect the civilians in this world because the government was too much of a coward to do so. Dr. James and his on agreed and they continued with Operation Samurai after hiring a new team of scientists.

Now in the year 2009, things have changed. Darius has taken on a bit more of a mature, leadership role in the mansion. He has completed his own suit, the Samurai Gold Ranger, as well as help in completed the other Samurai Rangers suits, Red, Blue, Pink, Green, and Yellow. It was unbeknown to Mario that Darius was making a suit. Darius asked if Mario wanted to pilot a suit, but Mario felt that he was best suited behind the scene, "Besides, I'm not the most athletic of people." Afterward, Dr. James told Darius to go out and find five suitable young people to become the Operation Samurai Rangers, before the government could lay their cowardly hands on their material.

Can the Operation Samurai Rangers stop the threat of the Hydro Demons?

He/she then held the Cell-Brush Morpher upright, so the paintbrush was pointing towards the sky, and then shouted:

"Samurai... On Duty!"

Upon completion of the symbol, (NAME) struck it with the Cell-Brush Morpher, causing the elemental symbol to flip around, then upon pressing the blue button on the Cell-Brush Morpher, (NAME) is transported to a dimension patterned in a zigzag wallpaper design, colored in (COLOUR).

A larger (ELEMENT) symbol appeared behind him/her and wrapped itself around his/her body, forming the Ranger suit and creating the Samurai Sword to appear on his/her belt.

Gold - Darius flipped open his Cell-Spark Morpher and then proceeded to pull out his Secret Disk. He then pressed the switch to boot it up as it loaded in a bright blue light. The Cell-Spark Morpher then began to say something as if it were its start-up sound.

"ARMOR!"

Darius then wasted no time and closed the Cell-Spark Morpher. He then attached the Secret Disk to the lid of the morpher, the disk integrating with it. Eventually, Darius pulled the Cell-Spark Morpher back then thrust it forward.

"Samurai... On Duty!"

Upon pressing another button, Darius found himself in another reality. He was surrounded by two sets of symbols, one small, and one large. The latter wrapped around his body to form the Ranger suit as the Samurai Blade appeared on his back. Eventually, the small symbol flew onto his face and formed the Ranger helmet. Darius then returned to reality and struck a pose.

"Samurai Gold, Darius LeVier!"

Rules:

1. This roleplay is not first come, first serve. I will select the person who I think fits the role, based on their previous roleplaying experience, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, activeness. If you are online only once every week, you most likely will not get picked. Bottom line.

2. Your character must have at least some form of physical ability to even be considered to be a part of Operation Samurai. Don't give me frail, skinny characters. I want athletic characters. Your character must know how to fight.

3. Have fun!

4. Oh, and please, let's have unique stories for your character's histories. I get tired of seeing foster kids and parent-less kids you know?

Name:

Darius LeVier

Age:

20

Appearance:

http://hotcelebs.today.com/files/2009/07/chris-evans.jpg

Personality:

Darius is a very professional person and has always, generally, been professional when it comes to communicating with other people or getting tasks done and delivered. Darius may be a bit up tight, but he's not afraid to talk and give order and direction to a teammate. He's a natural born leader who does not like his position being mocked, nor does he liked to be dethroned by another person unless they have a reasonable explanation for wanting to takeover. At times, Darius can come off as not exactly being a 'people person' but that's only because he has not had time to get to know other people. He's constantly working on Operation Samurai and until recently, he hasn't had any close people accept his best friend Mario, Dr. James, and the seemingly uncommunicative butlers and maids throughout the James' Mansion

Ranger Designation:

Samurai Gold Ranger

Story:

Darius LeVier was born to Richard and Mary LeVier in 1989, Las Vegas, Nevada. At an extremely early age, Darius was exposed to the lifestyle of having a militant and government official as a father. Richard LeVier was one of the commanders at the base located about 60 miles north of Las Vegas, at Area 51, the 'so-called' secret hiding place for intergalactic matters such as Unidentified Flying Objects, aliens, martians, etc. Early on in life, Darius, a child at the time, watched cartoons and soaked in the 'fact' that aliens did not exist and that they were mere pigments of everyone's imagination. He would learn soon enough that this belief in non-belief would soon alter. One day, while Darius was at home doing homework for his fourth grade class, he notice that when his father got home from work, which was strange because his father usually never came home from work, there were several blueprints clinched in his father's hand. Richard walked into his bedroom and sat down with Mary and discussed something with her quietly. Curious, Darius silently rushed upstairs to listen. The few words that he picked up were "Come with me","Hydro Demons","Coming","A Few Years","Operation Samurai", and "They Don't Want Everyone to Know". Darius wasn't sure what was going on, but he did know that 'hydro" meant water and 'demons' were mythological beasts resembling that of a devil. He could not just let this experience he heard blow over his head and it effected him in the near future.

As Darius grew older and got into high school, he became fascinated with the study of reports on UFOs. Each day in Computer Literacy class, he would sneak and look-up web pages referring to sightings as well as things like crop circles. These things did not happen for a reason, and the people reporting them would not just report them to get exposure in the media. Things just did not seem right. Perhaps even more curious, one day Darius stayed after school and got on the computer (his family did not own a home computer). He typed in the log-in website for Area 51, using his father's password and immediately was sent to a home page where pictures of red demons dressed in yellow and holding swords were seen, trapped within square cages. Drawn back by this, Darius wondered why the Area 51 officials kept these secrets locked away from the public. The people in the world had a right to know that there was life out there, and that aliens could possibly want to interact with the human race. Darius believed in a galactic treaty among intergalactic beings. Darius then returned to the Area 51 home page and immediately saw an internship opportunity for two people. Not wanting to apply alone, Darius applied not only himself, but his friend Mario James as well. Mario's father, Dr. James, was a government official, just like Darius's father.

A few years later, the internship with Darius and Mario seemed to be going well, however, they were unable to spot in weird things going on. There were no UFOs or aliens or anything. It was as if the information Darius had saw online was online was all a lie. But, a few days after Darius's 19th birthday changed his depiction of his beliefs instantly. Darius and Mario were walking on a balcony inside of Area 51 when a red alert went off inside of the building. A PA announcer went on the intercom and stated that a UFO was headed in their direction and was on a collision course. The people inside of the place went crazy as Darius and Mario went to go find a safe shelter. Running outside, they were stopped by Dr. James and were told to get into the vehicle in which he was driving. As they ran out, Darius's father and mother handed him the Operation Samurai blueprints. Before Darius could say anything, he was pushed by his father into the vehicle along with Mario and was driven off on the desert terrain. They looked back at the Area 51 site and saw that the 'Hydro Demons' had arrived and began to terrorize the place at it went up in explosions. Only Darius, Mario, and Dr. James survived the attack.

On the way to the west, Dr. James explained everything that was currently happening in the world and answered all of Darius and Mario's questions. But the most important thing Dr. James explained was Operation Samurai. He explained that it was to be one of the Ranger Organization in the world, but the only organization that had the artillery to stop the Hydro Demons. All of the other Ranger Organization had decided to fall back into hiding while Operation Samurai had to rise up, using an ancient mystical power created within Area 51. Excited by all of this, Mario decided that he would take responsibility in making the suits, a Chinese historian himself, wanting to base the suits off new-age samurais. Darius nodded, deciding a personal suit for himself. He already had the physical stature to fight and took up swordsmanship classes at an early age because of his father. Things his father did started to make sense. He just hoped that at least his father and mother made it out alive in the explosion, but he highly doubted that. Darius knew he had to move on as Dr. James drove him and Mario to Reefside,, California where the would be staying in the James' Mansion to set up a base and home for Operation Samurai.

A year had past and Darius had completely mastered his suit while Mario completed the five other operative suits in red, blue, pink, green, and yellow. All of the weaponry, gear, and Origami were complete and Operation Samurai was finally a go. But, the Hydro Demons were no where to be found throughout the world and Dr. James hoped that the Hydro Demons found Earth to be unfit. Darius shook his head at this and said that they should still hire five people, just to be sure. They would wait at least five years before coming to any conclusions. Respecting Darius's leadership role and the fact that he was the son of Richard LeVier, Dr. James and Mario accepted this statement and decided to wait. But eventually, the James' Mansion got a call from Commander Grayson, a former Lightspeed Rescue Ranger and now Commander of Operation Lightspeed, as he was representing the government. He told them not to go through with Operation Samurai and to handover to the blueprints and any matter that had been created. Darius quickly 'declined the offer' and put the workers of this organization at risk. But Darius did not care, he knew the public had the right to know what was going on. It was for their protection. So, Darius has now set out to find five worthy individuals to help him in dethroning the Hydro Demons. Will he find them in time to save the world?

[The Doctor]

Name: Cooper Quinn

Age: 20

Nicknames: Coop, C.Q.

Ranger Destination: Blue Samurai Ranger

Appearance:
http://www.jared-padalecki.net/photos/albums/professional/photoshoot10/normal_005.jpg

Personality: Cooper is the suave charmer with a laid back attitude. He’s the guy who just goes with the flow and encourages others to do the same since he believes that there’s no use in rushing and stressing through life, as it will only lead to an early grave. However, when the time calls for it he can get really serious and very defensive when someone threatens someone or something he loves and will automatically shift his rear into gear if he is required for action. Knowing that he is a handsome young man, Cooper carries himself with high confidence, but is by no means arrogant. In fact if there’s one thing that he won’t stand for, it’s the belittling of people done by those who are conceited and indifferent of other’s feelings. Cooper is a friendly guy and openly sociable, especially to women. If there’s one thing Cooper cannot resist, it is a beautiful young woman. Some would dub him a ladies man, but Cooper is by no means disrespectful nor does he just view women as objects to fill his lustful desires. He might flirt a bit, but there’s no way he would intend to go further than that unless he is really feeling a connection with the person he’s trying to court. Since he is so easy to communicate with, Cooper is the sort of person you can run to with your problems and he will listen and keeping his mind clear, will determine the best solution for them. He is by no means a Dr. Phil where he criticizes and critiques since he knows that everyone has their flaws, instead he gives encouragement and strength to those who need it.

History: Cooper Quinn was born February 5th, 1989 to Gary and Sandra Quinn in Monterrey, California. Gary was a surgical technologist fresh out of college that had excelled in his courses, while Sandra was a cosmetologist. Though their careers were worlds apart, Gary and Sandra met one evening while attending a dinner party of a friend they had apparently been both acquaintances with and from that night on, everything just fell into place. The dating, the romance, the wedding and soon, a child. Exactly 9 months later after their wedding day, Cooper was brought into the world and had become the newlyweds’ precious bundle of joy. Cooper over all was a good baby, and rarely made a peep as his parents always kept him content and showered him with affection. He was after all the symbol of their love. After their son’s first birthday, the Quinn family had decided to move from their little humble home in Monterrey to the Reefside.

They settled in and began their new life there. Gary immediately picked up a job at the local hospital and Sandra decided to open her own beauty salon and became an instant hit, gaining several clients who wanted Sandra to make them gorgeous. Although Gary would spend long hours at the hospital and Sandra putting a lot of time running her own salon, they would always try to make time to spend with their son, whom was often left in the care of a nanny because no matter how busy they would get, family was held near and dear to their hearts. While the years passed, Cooper grew up from a beautiful child into a beautiful young man. Unlike most people, Cooper didn't have to do much to keep his good appearance. He was just naturally attractive. Some would say poor Cooper was cursed from the beginning seeing as he would always get ‘awws’ and his cheeks pinched as an infant and throughout elementary school.

It wasn’t until middle school that Cooper began to get popular, mostly because of the girls going all googly eyed for him and swooning whenever they heard his dulcet tones. And it would only get worse in high school, though by this time he had started to enjoy the ladies’ attention. Every now and then he would ask one of his many admirers out, though he never dated any of them for an extended amount of time. While dating some of the prettiest girls in his class, Cooper also fell into the athletic crowd as he opted to join the high school swim team his freshman year. Cooper had always loved swimming and it was one of his favorite pastimes. Even when he was a small child, Cooper would be doggy paddling around in the pool at home, now he would just be swimming for competition. Cooper was a good swimmer because his lean body allowed him to maneuver smoothly through the water.

By his sophomore year, Cooper had become the star of the swim team, winning many competitions for his school, including the championship his senior year which was a nice way to end his high school career. After graduation, Cooper had no clue what career he wanted to pursue. Throught high school even though his grades were exceptional, his time and mind revolved around the swim team and even if he could go on to swim professionally, he didn’t really feel like that was his path. Of course his father encouraged him to pursue a medical career like he had, while his mother continues to tell him to follow his heart. While he is thinking about a career, Cooper currently earns a living as a lifeguard at the beach after having gone through training and CPR certification. Now he spends his days posted up on his high chair watching over the lives of beach goers and swimmers.

Morphing Sequence: Cooper held the Cell-Brush Morpher to his right, twisting the right half of it until the red shell of the phone covered it and opened a slot, which also caused a paintbrush to pop out of said slot. He then held the Cell-Brush Morpher upright, so the paintbrush was pointing towards the sky, and then shouted:

"Samurai... On Duty!"

Cooper then proceeded to draw his Eemental symbol, the symbol of Water as it glowed in a blue light. Upon completion of the symbol, Cooper struck it with the Cell-Brush Morpher, causing the elemental symbol to flip around, then upon pressing the blue button on the Cell-Brush Morpher, Cooper is transported to a dimension patterned in a zigzag wallpaper design, colored in blue.

A larger water symbol appeared behind him and wrapped itself around his body, forming the ranger suit and creating the Samurai Sword to appear on his belt. Finally, the symbol that he drew previously wrapped around his head to form the helmet. Cooper then found himself on a stage, the paper wall with the Operation Samurai crest illuminated blue light. He then took the Secret Disk out of his belt buckle, placing it on the hilt of the Samurai Sword and unsheathing the katana, striking a pose.

“Samurai Blue, Cooper Quinn!”

History:kamia was born in 1986 her parents names were phil and lacy they met in college at a party that lacy friend made her go too thinking that she didn't have enough fun during school, they met on the dance floor and everything clicked they began dating and eventully go married in a beautiful chapel and soon gave birth to kamia's older brother.

kyle and after a year or two they noticed that kyle was very loney and craved another sibling whom he could play with so they decied on a second child and after awhile gave birth to kamia whom from the very beginning proved to be a very friendly and energitic young girl who would always attract people with her burst of friendliness and energy, and kamia also proved to be a very bright child and is wise beyond her years and tended to stick up for people who couldn't defend themselves.

So most of the time she would come home with one or two bruises at the age of 13 her beauty began to manifest itself and thus attracted the attention of about every boy in school though she would always be oblivious to it and would thus be confused when people began to ask her out all the time, and of course she would let them down gently saying that she didn't really have time to date people at the moment.

By the age of 14 kamia is known as a star student in her classes and seems to never fail a test she is currently making her earning by working at a local burger joint as a casher saying that the job seemed simple and easy enough to do so she signed up for it.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai?:because of her speed and energy

Mystic Knight: I love Cooper's personality. I think he fills the Samurai Blue Ranger role perfectly. He's fluid, an aqua fan, and seems cool and laid back -- the type of person who fits the color blue. Welcome to Operation Samurai. You are now on duty.

kameron: I'm sorry, I'm going to have to immediately deny this bio. It's filled with many grammatical and other forms of errors that I find unacceptable. I do however, applaud you effort in making a bio. Also, I don't know if you know this or not, but most Ranger RPs generally want live action characters, not anime/cartoon characters as the "played-by", y'know? The description in your bio is not very good, but I think you can work at it for a potential role in another RP outside of Operation Samurai.

[OG-SG]

Wow. Is no one interested at all?

[Question]

Name: Lucas 'Luke' Stiles
Age: 21
Appearance:
http://www.moonlight-detective.com/gallery/albums/cast-season1/normal_jdohring_season1_04.jpg
Luke dresses, naturally, mostly in red. He prefers black slacks and a plain red shirt, but he'll settle for anything that allows free movement.

Personality: Luke is incredibly intelligent, especially when it comes to tactics and strategy. When the situation isn't critical, he's not afraid to voice his opinion, no matter how it may go over, but when he needs to, Luke is fully capable of cracking down and doing what needs to be done. He's very charismatic, and a natural leader to boot.

Luke treats each assignment as a personal challenge. Failing an assignment pisses him off to no end, and he'll do anything in his power to ensure success, no matter how critical the mission is. Luke is generous to the point of it being a character flaw, and he dislikes receiving gifts in return, as he spent most of his life being told that service to others was the highest honor a Stiles could aspire to.

Ranger Designation: Samurai Red

History: Lucas Stiles was born to a great police family in Angel Grove. Every generation of his family has turned out at least one officer, and Luke was no exception. Almost from birth, he was groomed by his family to one day enter the police academy. His uncle, Jerome Stone, trained him the hardest, as the man had never had a son of his own. Luke grew very close to his uncle, especially after his father died one day in a mob shootout, and Jerome treated the boy as his own son. Luke's academics weren't the best, as he just barely passed most of his school classes, but he excelled in gym and anything requiring strategy. As soon as he graduated, Luke entered the Angel Grove Police Academy.

Luke breezed through the police academy, graduating with honors. He had long since mastered everything the academy would have taught him, so he spent most of his free time studying advanced tactics and such. He had no intention of dying in a shootout the way his father had. Occasionally, Luke would take a night off and party. Luke was very charismatic, and it was very difficult to dislike him. Luke graduated in half the time it usually takes someone, and he was promoted directly to corporal.

Luke served admirably in the AGPD for several years, but one incident secured him a spot on the Operation Samurai team. Luke holds the dubious honor of being one of the few non-rangers to destroy a monster. An ancient escaped from it's prison, an enchanted tablet in the Angel Grove Museum of Natural History. It rampaged for nearly three entire hours, before Luke managed to hunt it down. Luke nearly died trying to apprehend the fire-based creature, but at the last possible second, Luke shot a water tower with his gun, causing the alien to be drenched by a torrent of water, only to be destroyed shortly after. Luke received commendations from his superiors for his actions that day, and he received an immediate promotion to lieutenant, as well as a transfer to a supervisor position in the Reefside Police Department. Operation Samurai paid special attention to Luke when he transferred, deciding that he'd be the perfect choice for their new Red Ranger.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai?: Between his mind for tactics and strategy, and the fact that he's proven himself able to defeat a demon even without a Ranger suit, Luke is the perfect choice for the team's Red Ranger.

[Fire Warrior]

Name: Marcus Eichel

Age: 19

Appearance:
http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/2100000/Posh-dougie-poynter-2103499-529-792.jpg
Marcus tends to dress fairly casually, mostly in a loose fitting shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. He has a naturally muscular build, partly he can attribute to the hand he was dealt in the game of genetics, but mostly to his lack of a car, often having to rely on the bus or his bike. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and an infectious smile.

Personality: Marcus is, has, and always will be the immature jokester. He lives for a good time, often finding ways to ruin a professional situation just so that he won’t be bored. He has been told by many people such as friends, family, teachers, bosses, even random old ladies on the street that he has “the attention span of a chicken with its head cut off.” He is always itching for something to do, never being able to sit still for more than a half an hour at a time; at the most. He will, however, draw into himself if his feelings are hurt or if he needs to think, but that state will usually never last long. When he is forced to, he can buckle down to get things done, but it usually requires something drastic, like the world being in danger from water loving demons. ;)

So far, Marcus isn't sure what he wants to do with his life, he has so many things that interest him, such as video games, writing, telling jokes, skateboarding, you name it, Marcus does it. Right now, he's just waiting for that one thing in life to pull him in, since he can't pin down anything that interests him long enough. He has an irrational fear clowns, as he sees them as the devils of comedy, and they just creep him out. But, for the most part, what he fears most is having his freedom to be random taken away, being forced into something he doesn't want to do.

Ranger Designation: Samurai Green Ranger

History: Marcus was born on a chilly October morning in 1989 to David and Emily Eichel in Torrance, California. David made his living as a classically trained violinist while Emily worked as a third grade teacher. Even though the two of them did not seem to have anything in common, the two actually met in college while taking a chemistry class together. At first, they were assigned to be lab partners, which didn’t sit well with each other since they each wanted to partner up with one of their friends. But with each day and various experiments, another type of chemistry took over, and Emily asked David out on a date. Everything just kind of fell together after that: dating for a couple years, moving in, David proposing around the time of graduation, the two getting married three months later, the night of them getting married, and finally, the pregnancy test. Roughly ten months later, Emily finally gave birth to Marcus and he was the best thing that the young couple could hope for. He didn’t cry very much, he could easily entertain himself: he was an overall good kid. He had his moments though, but David and Emily still loved him with every ounce of their being.

Around the end of elementary school and the start of middle school, Marcus began to develop into the crazy kid he is today. The biggest problem with Marcus is that he was too smart for his own good. Everything the teachers tried to teach him was extremely boring to him, considering he was able to get it almost immediately while the other kids strayed behind. And so, Marcus began to act out in school, mostly just busting out jokes in the middle of class or taking a nap during a lecture. It didn’t matter to Marcus if the teachers didn’t like it, he hated having to sit and listen to something he could learn easily. When a teacher finally caught on to this, he had Marcus tested for his IQ, and he was well into the 120s. However, the teacher didn’t feel that Marcus was smart enough to skip a grade, so the next best thing he could do was have Marcus take more advanced classes in school. Marcus was okay with, but he didn’t want to be known as the smart kid, so he continued his jokes and his impatience. However, he did eventually fall into the jock crowd as he took up baseball in eighth grade, much to the disappointment of his father, but to the approval of the girls in his school (guess who’s opinion he cared about).

During the middle of freshman year, Marcus’ father was offered a position with the Reefside Philharmonic, one which promised him more money and the position as concert master, which meant a better status. When David and Emily talked it over, they decided that the position and money was well worth having to move their family away from the only home they had known, and so they moved to Reefside. Marcus wasn’t too happy about it, considering he was leaving his friends and all those pretty girls behind, but he slowly learned to love the town. There was a beach, a lot of pretty girls who were interested in “the new guy,” and they had a really good baseball team at Reefside High. Trying out the following year, he made it onto the JV team first, and took the team all the way to state championships as pitcher, landing him a spot on the varsity team the following year, along with the attention of his future girlfriend, a cheerleader by the name of Jessica. Marcus was living the life, not to mention that everything at home was doing good, he had a girlfriend, and he already had recruiters at his doorstep his junior year, not to mention the fact that he was taking plenty of advanced placement classes, and doing well in them.

Now in his freshmen year at Cal State Reefside, Marcus is playing baseball with a full ride scholarship, he's still with his high school girlfriend, and he finally decided to take up an instrument, just to make his father happy (percussion may not have been his fathers first choice, but oh well). He still likes to mess around a lot, often playing practical jokes on his teammates, or just not taking class seriously, as a lot of it still comes easy to him. So far, Marcus still hasn't decided on what his majors going to be, or if he even wants to take baseball further after college. But, he has high hopes for the future, even if he they aren't that specific. But, things are going to take an interesting turn very soon.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai?: Pretty much, it’s all a matter of being in the wrong place at the right time. Being caught in a demon attack, Marcus was able to distract a demon long enough for a group of people to get away. Gaining the attention of Darius LeVier for his actions, he was asked to join because of his bravery and his resourcefulness in battle.

Name: Molly McCullen

Age: 18

Appearance: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_127/1173136635ViY8s0.jpg

Personality: Molly is fiercely loyal and will do anything for her friends. She has a kind heart, but can be a bit direct at times, and her honesty is never in question. She is intellectual and always has an answer for a problem.

Ranger Designation: Samurai Pink Ranger

History: Molly McCullen grew up in a small town, living a normal life like any other girl. In high school, she was very athletic as well as deep and thoughtful. For much of her life, she stuck close to her small group of friends, and was slightly uncomfortable trusting many others. As a track runner, she earned a reputation for being the best. Being also quite beautiful (or so she had been told by many men in her life), she had taken a self-defense class and followed through with that course of study for five years. Her two main athletic abilities only served to strengthen each other, and made her a better person for them.

Molly often studied medicine, hoping to become a doctor after high school, as well as philosophy. Her medical knowledge proved useful to her once in a way she hoped it would never have to. Returning to Reefside from a vacation to Canada, Molly saved a man’s life in the Reefside airport by coordinating with the people around her and using her medical knowledge to perform basic surgery on him with only a pocket knife and napkins to stop the bleeding. The man was choking and became unconscious after only a few moments. After briefly listening to his breathing patterns, Molly correctly guessed that his airway was completely blocked, and used a pocket knife taken from an airport worker to perform a tracheotomy on him, saving his life while bystanders called for emergency assistance.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai? : Molly was chosen for Operation Samurai because of her medical skills, decisiveness, and quick reflexes. The incident in the airport served as the proof that Molly would be an invaluable part of Operation Samurai, giving support and many ideas to aid in the group’s mission.

Name: Kylie Frank

Age: 19

Appearance:
http://www.mindfreedom.org/as/act/us/or/lane/1st-wed/britney-flyer/britney-spears-mental-health-photo

Ranger Designation: Samauri Yellow

Personality:
Kylie isnt the one who you would think is shy. She is very outgoing and not afraid of anything accept...her father. She has yet to meet him because he was never around. She is afraid that the one day they meet he wont like her and she wishes that won't happen. Kylie grew up around love and support so they only horrible thing in her life was being deaf in one of her ears. She sometimes wishes that she weren't, but her mother always told her that it made her unqiue and Kylie always went by that.

History:
Kylie grew up with a very fun life. Her single mom raised her along with the help of her grandmother and grandfather. Kylie's mom was actually a very famous- and now retired- supermodel. And Kylie looked up to her a lot and always looked to her when Kylie was ever down or needed help with something. Her dad is in the military and when her mom gave the pregnancy news to him, he divorced her, not believing he could raise a kid nor be a dad while being in the military. Kylie's mother was actually okay with it. She hardly ever saw the man anyways, so she was alright, and today they are still good friends. But when Kylie was little, her mom would tell her stories of history. Many of the main characters were about a prince and a princess (in reality her mom and dad) who lived in Egypt, Rome, you name it, and Kylie would have to hear mom give the story to her every night before she went to bed. But Kylie no sooner grew out of it, but still cherishes them all in heart.

When Kylie was five her family automatically realized her love for the camera, She was just like her mom and loved to have pictures taken of herself. Mom then right away was able to hook her up with a children’s model agency and she was able to have success right away. She had no sooner signed with a ‘Juice it Up’ company and was in every add for magazines. She become very popular at school and was a very fun person to be with. Everyone knew who she was and she loved the attention. She couldn’t be any more like her mom. Kylie's mother was there for every step of the way and Kylie proved to have talent, and was even sometimes considered better than her own mom. But with her, her fierce looks she reicved form her father, they proved to be just as delicate.

By the time she was in junior high school, she dropped out of Ballet classes and went back into focusing on her model career. But all went downhill after she had discovered that she was partially deaf. She could still hear, but not as great as she once could. She was forced to wear a hearing aid and her model career went downhill. They didn’t want her anymore thinking that there would be ‘complications’ with her ear troubles. Kylie was heartbroken but no sooner went back to public school and for once was able to live the normal life.

She was able to get into other sports at high school such as Tennis and Volleyball. That was when she discovered her competitive side. She succeeded and no sooner was also able to rediscover her love for history. She has now recently graduated school with a 4.5 GPA (along with her mom now remarried) and is now working part time at a local Market. And she hopes to one day become a history teahcer and teach kids how cool history can be.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai?:
Kylie was chosen to be a part of OS because of her athletic ability. She is well known from her years that she was a model and had been offered many shcolarships, although when she quit she and her family only knew why.

[OG-SG]

Question: Your character should have no knowledge of Hydro Demons, nor any contact with them at all. However, you can keep the police background. Your character should also have no knowledge of OS.

Fire Warrior: The immature jokester fits perfect in the Green slot. Welcome.

DinoKira: I have this problem with you before, and it consists of NUMEROUS typos. The character also appears to be... kind of cheesy in a way that makes me not want to have the character in the RP.

SORRY for overlooking shinkengerred: Unfortunately, the bio was so short that I slid down from it a bit too far. Add more to your bio and I'll re-review it.

Nonetheless, Red, Yellow, and Pink are still open.

The man was choking and became unconscious after only a few moments. After briefly listening to his breathing patterns, Molly correctly guessed that his airway was completely blocked, and used a pocket knife taken from an airport worker to perform a tracheotomy on him, saving his life while bystanders called for emergency assistance.

When Molly was seven years old, she and her twin sister Ariel were playing in a park near their elementary school. It was like any other day, for the most part, two sisters enjoying an afternoon of freedom from school and chores and the like. The two girls were playing with a ball, tossing it between them, when Molly missed a catch and it rolled into the street. Thinking nothing of this, Ariel made her way into the street to fetch the ball before Molly could get there. What came next forced Molly to shut her eyes as tightly as she could.

Car horns sounded and tires squealed as an oncoming car hit Ariel McCullen, and was then hit by another car while trying in vain to get out of the way. Molly would always remember that day, and often would have nightmares about it. She blamed herself so much for what happened, despite the knowledge that the entire thing had been an accident. Often, in the night, she would run as far and as fast as she could to try and escape herself, but to no avail. Ariel survived the incident, but barely, and she would always wear the scars, though they faded and turned to a pale pink with time. Molly felt as if her sister’s scars should be on her own body. She thought that Ariel was too good a person to have to endure such things as the ridicule that resulted from the scars.
For a long time, Molly had trouble trusting people she didn’t know. Her small circle of friends was the only people she really trusted, and she considered herself lucky every day to be able to count her sister among that group.

Her trust issues stemmed partly from shyness, and partly from a betrayal by a boy she thought she loved. In her junior year of high school, Molly met David. He became one of her best friends, and then her boyfriend. For six months, she believed herself to be completely in love, and she was happy. As the summer approached, he grew more and more distant from her, until one day Molly caught him cheating on her. That was the end, not only of the relationship, but of Molly’s willingness to love or trust. She grew, not quite cold, but detached. This, she forced on herself with the exceptions of those few she knew would never betray her.

Molly is currently a nursing student in her first year of schooling, and is at the top of her class.

Name: Nozomi Tendou

Age: 19

Ranger Designation: Samurai Pink Ranger

Appearance: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Tana604/brianna.jpg

Personality: A shy and gentle soul, Nozomi loves being with children. It bothers her when anyone criticizes her for not being more outgoing.

History:
Nozomi was born April 10, 1990 just outside Tokyo, Japan. Her mother, Kaori, is the heiress to the Roumeikan Enterprises and once served as White Jet . Her father, Ryuu, is a government official. Nozomi was the adored younger daughter both had longed for. She was carefully groomed to one day take over the family business, her parents having no other children.

But Nozomi wanted more out of life than being placed in charge. Sent to live with her grandparents in New York, Nozomi achieved excellent grades in elementary and middle school. Now a freshman in a high school, Nozomi enjoys taking care of the younger kids. They looked up to her as a role model. Nozomi is also a member of the gymnastics team, often coming in first in the local and state championships.

While on a quick two-week vacation trip to Reefside California, Nozomi was driving along a highway in her rented car when she came upon a horrible scene. She found herself looking on a burning car wreck and saw three kids hanging on to the side of the road. Heedless of her own safety and with no way of calling for aid, Nozomi carefully inched down the cliff, brought them up. It was this noble act that brought her to the attention of Darius Levier.

Why you were selected for Operation Samurai: Nozomi was selected because of her quick reflexes and bravery in choosing to save the Brooke siblings from an automobile accident.

[Chameleon_ranger]

Name:
Zero Matsuda

Age:
20

Appearance:
http://ps3.pspfreak.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/john-foo.jpg

Personality:
Zero is a fighter at heart, carrying the heart of a samurai. Zero never fights unless duty calls for it and he would never fight someone when he knows that he would have the advantage. Being somewhat old fashioned, Zero carries a sense of honor, following some rules that he set for himself;
-If armed, never fight an unarmed opponent.
-If the enemy asks for mercy, grant it. Should he attempt to attack after, punishment is necessary.
-Never be the one to start a conflict.
-Respect the enemy, never strike if he cannot defend himself.
-Never get others involved in the conflict.
-Never fight unfairly.
Zero has followed these rules his entire life and has never broken them. These rules are what make Zero a respectable fighter and a good one at that.

Aside from Zero’s style of fighting, he also has some small quirks. When he fights with a sword, he tends to run his hand along the blade in a sense of ‘cleaning’ the blade. When in an unarmed situation, he would occasionally flick his wrists, a quirk that he claims ‘refreshes’ his fists for the next strike. And finally, before every fight, Zero takes the time to bow to his opponent. Even if the enemy doesn’t bow back, Zero does it anyways. After the battle, he would bow to his opponent again.

Zero isn't to get easily angered in battle. No amount of taunts or insults will make him enraged and lose focus. Not even losing angers him, should he ever lose in battle, he simply respects the one who defeated him. He would see it as a challenge to get stronger so that he would be the winner next time. His focus is what he relies on to be able to hold his own. As long as he remains focused, Zero can study his enemies and understand their ways; how they fight, how they defend, and what openings they leave behind.

Ranger Designation:
Samurai Red Ranger

History:
Zero was the second born in a family, with his older brother, Kenta, being a year and a half older. Growing up, Zero was always overshadowed by Kenta, everything he had done, Kenta would always do better. Over time, Zero began to hate his older brother, realizing that there was no point in trying to do better than Kenta, he would just hate him and let that consume him.

The one thing that Zero and Kenta did together was martial arts. Even though they did it together, they didn't enjoy it together. Kenta always seemed to do things better than Zero, and he would always rub it in his face. Even though Zero hated Kenta with all his guts, he never went out of line. He never attacked his brother out of anger and he never talked back at him. Despite the hate he had, Kenta was still his older brother and he had to respect that. But over time, Zero began to see that Kenta began to be more troublesome, not to him in general, but to almost everyone. Kenta would get into fights out in the street, he would fight dirty in martial arts classes, and he would be talking back to their parents.

Zero curiosity got the best of him when he needed to know why his brother was being this way. Coincidentally, Zero encountered his brother getting into another fight in an alley. Zero was rather shocked to see that Kenta was fighting really dirty, crotch shots, biting, eye gouging, and fighting with a weapon. Zero ran in to stop his brother from getting close to killing the other guy, and it got Kenta really upset. Kenta finally snapped; he confessed that he was acting like this because of Zero. Despite being better than Zero in almost every way, their parents still loved him more. Kenta began taunting Zero in all his faults, doing all he could to make him feel bad, but every time he did, Zero would never do anything. Kenta simply needed to let his anger out on someone, if it couldn't be Zero, then he needed a reason for it to be someone else.

By this time, Kenta has had enough was going to get what he wanted out of Zero. The two started a fight right in the alley, Zero was at a big disadvantage, Kenta was the stronger one and he was holding a baseball bat. Despite this, Zero was able to fight back, getting the bat off Kenta's hands. This fight eventually led from the alley to the docks on the other end. As the two continued to fight things out, Kenta tripped over a crate and fell into the lake, pulling Zero in with him. Struggling, Zero pulled himself out of the lake and back onto the docks, but while he was catching his breath from almost drowning, Kenta never came out. It was reported that Kenta had drowned and Zero's parents blamed him for it. This caused a severe strain between them to the point where they didn't talk to each other.

After Kenta's death, Zero vowed to become the complete opposite of what he knew his brother to be. While he saw his brother as a malicious, disrespectful, and sleazy excuse for a human being, Zero would not be any of those things. No matter who he encountered, he would meet them with respect, he would never cheat his way in life, and he would definitely be merciful.

Zero's first place to start in his new act was in martial arts classes. When news came of a national tournament, Zero asked his sensei if he can be a part of it. At first, his sensei wasn't entirely sure if Zero was ready for it, but with the tournament being roughly half a year away, Zero said he'd be ready for it. For the next six months, Zero trained constantly, taking extra time in the dojo and spending more time in the dojo. When the tournament came, Zero knew he was ready, but win or lose, Zero just wanted to do his best. Zero took part in the tournament, going from the lowest seed and getting to the semi-finals with ease. When it came to the semi-finals, Zero was beginning to experienced the challenges of competition. But in the end, Zero succeeded in being the champion of the tournament.

With this money, Jin rented out an apartment. He also got a job so that he could make some more money so he could avoid being overdue with rent.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai?:
Zero's honor in battle as well as his skills in both unarmed and armed combat made him a valuable asset in joining Operation Samurai. Zero's talent in studying his opponent quickly during combat is what makes him stand out among the other candidates for the team.

His fighting prowess was noticed by Operation Samurai when they read a newspaper article of Zero's victory in one of Japan's national martial arts tournaments.

[Gambit Savage]

Name: Axl White
Age: 20
Appearance:
http://www.thundersquee.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ts-taylor-kitsch-gambit.jpg

With his fedora tipped down over his eyes and his tattered leather jacket shielding him from both the breeze and superfluous conversation, Axl isn't the most public of people. His long hair and sometimes shadowed jaw contribute to his rough-around-the-edges persona, but his quiet demeanor voices no confirmation. A rare eye or two have seen him jogging his weekly ten mile stretch without a shirt or much attention paid to the impressed viewers.

Personality:

Axl White is as cool-headed as they come. His emotions, save for an occasional smirk, seem nearly nonexistent, and this surrounds him with a fog of mysticism. He doesn't see himself as a leader, but his quiet confidence grabs ahold of his peers and foes alike. Axl has an eye for precision and an aura of authenticity about him that transforms 'sleight of hand' into 'slightly unnerving.'

More than just about anything else, Axl enjoys cards. His deck is as steadfast as that of a ship, and his hands serve him well in every sense of the word. He truly comes alive with each street performance, enticing skeptics and magic fiends alike. Whether he wagers a meal or a ride somewhere, Axl makes it a point to play to his strengths, and more importantly, to play.

Ranger Designation: Samurai Red Ranger

History:

Axl Rose grew up quickly in Stone Canyon, where his mother, Harriet White (http://www.home.no/crimescene/bilder/cw/cw1.jpg), worked as a waitress at a local diner. His father was out of the picture from day one, having apparently conceived him during a one-night stand. Axl never bothered himself with the idea of a quest to discover his father's identity, and instead, strove to take up the "man of the house" mantle that was ever-vacant in the White household.

The closest thing Axl had to a father was Barry Rhodes (http://www.pyroradio.com/images/uploaded/Kurt-Russell.jpg), a long-time neighbor and family friend. He once worked as a cook in the Canyon Diner, even inviting Axl over for the occasional dinner when the amount of waitresses paled in comparison to the number of shifts and customers, in contrast to the diner's surprising abundance of cooks. Barry was once a traveling chef of sorts, and had been to many exciting places, many of which he described to Axl at the dinner table.

After working one too many late shifts, Harriet White's sleeping patterns began to grow irregular, and soon, infrequent. Sleeping pills fended off the insomnia for nearly a year, but her dependence led her to a near-death experience, one that frightened even the emotionally distant Axl. Axl and Barry persuaded her to enter a rehab facility. Without a job to support her, and only enough savings to guarantee a year or so of college tuition for her son, Harriet was forced to sell their house. Early on in the process, Barry had volunteered himself fiscally, but after some time he could only afford so much. Axl convinced him to take his recently withdrawn college funds, and to help him keep up the illusion that he was attending a college located near the city of Reefside. Barry reluctantly agreed, and arranged for his old mobile home to be moved to the outskirts of Reefside, just beyond a certain Valencia Road.

Axl left Stone Canyon behind for Reefside, and was surprised to find a P.O. box waiting for him there, along with an impressive trust fund in his name that, after some investigation, he discovered was untouchable until he reached the age of twenty-one. Axl began a new life for himself in Reefside, masking himself with his trusty ace of spades.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai?:

Axl White, a noble (albeit a little deceitful) young man, had his recruitment into Operation Samurai based largely on his talent for misdirection, his reflexes, and the example he sets with his silent intensity. His leadership, although inevitably somewhat unorthodox, would be crucial to the Rangers' triumph over the Hydro Demons.

[Tifaret]

Name: Alyssa Belmonte

Nicknames: Lyssa, Lyss

Age: 18

Appearance:
http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt99/Tifaret/Girls/cassie2-1.jpg
Alyssa is 5’5 and weighs 112lbs. She has almond shaped dark brown eyes. Mid back length soft, jet black hair usually styled straight with a slight curls at the ends, with a flossy shine. Her body is toned and athletic with a slight hour glass shape as she attempts to keep herself in well shape. She is a bit cautious about her appearance and likes her body tight. She also has a belly button piercing and a tattoo of a star on her pelvis above her inner right thigh. She’s very much into fashion, so whatever is in style, she’s pretty much sporting it. Though she likes to dress up and be all diva’d out, she usually flows towards a more casual look. Tank tops, strapped shirts, skirts, jeans, heeled sandals.

Personality:
Alyssa can be described as having a somewhat irreverent ‘go with the flow’ attitude on the outside, but is fueled by a compassionate nature within. She’s become so concerned with the well being of others, she never really bothers to reflect on her own issues, preferring to gloss them over to avoid having to deal with any difficult situations or emotions she may have whatsoever. Alyssa has developed an optimistic outlook on life and a spiritual mentality which she loves to nourish with reading books addressing topics of mythology, religion and the human soul, ect. One of her favorite myths is that of the phoenix bird and she applies that symbolism to her everyday life. The harsh tribulations of reality sends you down in flames, there’s always a chance to rise from the ashes and take flight again so long as there is breath flowing through a person’s lungs.

Alyssa enjoys counseling people and giving her input and opinions if they are able to help someone. Even if they don’t, she still likes to give them anyway whether anyone asks for her opinions or not. Brown nosing is also another less than spectacular trait of hers. Mostly when something is bothering her friends or family, she’ll keep digging and clawing into their business until they spill it or she finds out for herself. She’s not a very big fan of people who wallow in their misery. It’s understandable that life gets hard and you need to vent your frustration, but those who continually moan and decide that they’re doomed to be miserable for the rest of their lives…well, she might sit there with a smile listening but on the inside, it drives her up the wall and don’t be surprised if she does something rude like rolling her eyes. Alyssa is aware that people have different obstacles and understands that it’s harder for some to bounce back more than others, especially depending on the situation. Either way, Alyssa’s ears are always open for those who need to talk and her shoulder there if someone needs to lean on her.

As mentioned before, Alyssa can be irreverent and is a bit passive aggressive; this mainly takes form verbally by giving a serious tongue lashing to anyone who needs it. When she gives “tough love” her words may hit as blunt as a bird flying into telephone pole because the truth hurts sometimes and the truth is all Alyssa likes to give. While she may care very much for an individual, she also sees the whole picture, and may act accordingly, thus coming off callous sometimes. In fact, the exact opposite is true, though she might have trouble convincing someone that. An example would be like Alyssa breaking your hands to keep you from shooting someone else. She looks out for your well being of not going to jail and the well being of the other person’s life. Sometimes her statements may be mixed in with a bit of black humor making even the darkest of situations into a light joke. Still if she does offend someone she cares about, she won’t hesitate to offer her sincere apologies. The last thing she ever wants to do is hurt a person she loves.

Alyssa is affable and has this need to branch out and add to her social circle. Generally, she is a good judge of character and she will hang around with almost anyone she finds that person interesting. Although she likes to have multiple contacts and people to socialize with, she prefers to keep her own close knit circle of friends to have her back as she will have theirs.

Ranger Designation:
Samurai Yellow Ranger

History:
A little over 18 years ago, Stéphane Belmonte a young french man fresh out of high school decided to take a trip to Brazil in celebration of the new chapter beginning in his life. Little did he know that the new chapter would reveal the love of his life, his soon to be wide and the mother of his daughter. So, Rio de Janeiro is known for having some of the sexiest beaches in the world and this is where Stéphane would meet Iara. Stéphane met the vixen on the beach…and was immediately attracted to her. Might have had to do with the fact that she was topless, but none the less after actually sitting and talking with her for a few hours, he found out that there was more to like about Iara than her dirty pillows. He still hit it that night though. It was consensual because she wanted him too so everyone was happy. So happy it was only a matter of time before the two began to fall in love. Sad thing was they both had to return to their homes.

Iara was brazilian but she didn’t live in Rio. She was only there to visit family that weekend. Her home was in New York, Stéphane’s was in France of course, but decided it wouldn’t be any longer. He had always planned to move to america, but to find out the new girl he had fallen for lived there, well…it was an open window and he climbed through it. Then he climbed on her…again. This time she got pregnant. Great luck they had, huh? No seriously, they had great luck because Iara’s parents were loaded and they lived on the upper east side of Manhattan, so financially, Stéphane and Iara would be stable with their soon to come bundle of joy. The young couple decided it would be best to tie the knot before their child was born into the world and Iara’s parents moved them into an apartment. Stéphane was a manly man though and he didn’t want her parents providing them with everything. He had to support his family so he enrolled in college beginning his career as an architect. October 22th 1991 the whole family traveled to Brazil, Iara was ready to pop any day. It would be two more before she did; Stéphane and Iara gave birth to a healthy baby girl who they named Alyssa.

So with the new family started, things started to get prosperous. Around Alyssa’s 3rd year of life, Stéphane graduated college as an architect and found a job at Reefside and moved his wife and daughter to California. Alyssa blossomed into a nice young woman, but most of the boys in highschool considered to be gorgeous and easily one of the hottest girls at Reefside High. Academic wise during her school career, Alyssa wasn’t an outstanding student, but she maintained an above average GPA, doing her best to never let it fall below a 3.0. She wasn’t that keen on the subjects of math, science and history. She was more into physical Education and started off by participating on her middle school’s Girl’s Basketball team. Her sports career would carry on into high school where she switched over from basketball to volleyball. Over junior year of highschool, she started focusing more on her appearance than sports. The girl loved clothes and always found herself critiquing another’s fashion choice. It was inevitable that she would decide to pursue a career in fashion, specifically as a stylist. Recently graduated, Alyssa is still at home with her parents and works at a local botique at the mall and going to college to earn a degree in fashion merchandising. She’s already in Calfornia, which is the right place to be to try and kick up her career.

Why Were You Selected for Operation Samurai?:
A mall crawl turned into a little adventure. Alyssa was sitting in the food court enjoying her orange chicken until a few Slithers decided to attack the mall, one of them had cornered an elderly couple in the food court. As much as it pained her to do so, she was forced to take action and chuck her plate of food in the back of a Slither’s head to get their attention so the old people could skitter off to safety. A battle ensued, more like Alyssa dodging their swords and using her serving tray as a make shift weapon. She got away and followed the elderly couple; one of them had received a nasty gash from the attack and was bleeding. Alyssa stayed, using her scarf to wrap the wound, applying pressure on it to stop the bleeding and she stayed until medical back up had arrived. Her actions were observed by Darius and he decided that her altruism and courage would make a fine addition to his team.
