Option 1: Answer the following questions. Elaborate on the answer, especially your characters thoughts and feelings surrounding the answer. For Canon Characters, you can choose four questions. For Original Characters, you will need to choose six questions. Keep the word count to 150-400 per question.
I could not help myself. I picked 5.
Has your character always believed in magic? Do they have something influencing their perspective on the supernatural/metaphysical/spiritual from their past? How do they feel about magic?
Andros lives in a universe where anything from spells to technology can make monsters or demons grow larger than skyscrapers, and the various chosen, whether for good or evil, can access the unseen power of the Grid. His mentor Zordon was a renowned intergalatic wizard. As a child, Andros grew up wanting to be a ranger, playing power ranger with his sister. He grew up on KO-35, one of the original Power Ranger worlds. Power Rangers, and thus magic, have been completely integrated into his society. He's always believed in magic, in the Morphin Grid, and the supernatural. Andros has had interactions with ghosts and spirits, he's seen people come back from the dead. He's met and talked to people from various worlds all over the cosmos with all sorts of belief systems, but the one thing that ties most of them together, is a belief in magic. In the Morphin Grid, in that energy that surrounds and empowers all living things, but only some can break through and access. He's also telepathic and telekinetic, so that helps too. He knows that some people on Earth don't believe, or don't have the same experiences he does to believe, but he tends to think Earth is kind of backwards anyway.
If there's one person your character would follow to another realm, who would it be and why? If there's no one, state that and explain why.
While Andros would say it would be his sister Karone, in reality, it would be almost anyone. He takes his role as a Power Ranger extremely seriously, and if it seemed that person might be in danger and need him, he'd be there. He's especially susceptible to children however, reminding him of the danger he and his sister were in. He'll dive right in if he thought a random child was skipping into another realm, on purpose or accidentally. Despite his inability to function well as a leader and member of a team, as compared to other Red Rangers, Andros cares quite a lot. He will almost always put the lives of others and their well being before his own--the one exception with this is Karone, who he tends to treat like the child he lost instead of woman she is today. He'd follow her to protect her, whether or not she needed or wanted his help or protection. She'd be furious, and Andros would do it anyway, not wanting to lose her again, and not understanding or accepting that people are allowed to make choices that he disagrees with.
It should be noted that although Andros takes his role as a Power Ranger seriously and wont hesitate to help those in need, he does and will abandon his team and anyone necessary at a moments notice to do his own thing. Which just happens to usually involve Karone. While he will give his time and his life to protect others, he is also someone who can put himself and his own needs and desires first, when he hits bottom. His trauma which started with Karone, has created deep scars which break him from a typical ranger mold. If he had to choose between protecting someone from going into another dimension or following Karone, he'd have a real tough choice. But most likely? He'd choose Karone.
If you'd like pixies to change one event in your character's life, what would it be and why?
Andros would start by wishing for Karone not to be kidnapped. But he'd probably stop himself. While he's spent his entire life trying to find her, and then get to know her, he also mostly understands that they are both their own products of their individual pasts, and changing that crucial event would change so many other things--and people. While he'd do anything for his sister, he's also enough of a Ranger to know that he doesn't have the right to mess up and change other peoples lives. That one action would change whether or not he joined the Karovan Military, which would lead to him being chosen as a Ranger, and thus effect everyone whose life he has saved. It may or may not change the deaths of his first team and catastrophic injury Zhane endured to save him, but it would effect his current team, and change Zordon's life. Andros would understand that too many other factors were at risk, the entire universe itself, and that some things are best left untouched. He took an oath when he became a Power Rangers to protect and defend, save the universe, and this wish, would potentially undo that. As much as he would want to save Karone, as much as it had in some ways become his reason for living, he also knows it's not an option. While Andros is a terrible Red Ranger, he's also one of the best to ever wear red.
What is your character's most outstanding personality trait, and why?
While Andros is ultimately a good person, he can be kind of an asshole loner. Due to repeated trauma, he has been consistently reassured by the universe that everyone and everything he cares about gets hurt or leaves. His sister was kidnapped, his first team died, his planet overrun. The literal only way he was able to succeed was by killing his friend and mentor, Zordon. He was the ranger that failed. As a result, he tries to do everything himself, not count or trust anyone. His character arc involved learning to trust and work as a team, and in the end? He never quite got there. He still runs off at a moments notice. Keeps people at a distance. He can be more than a bit moody. The wall and shield he's built around himself has significantly worn away over the years of other rangers repeatedly battering at it, but parts of it are still there. His first instinct is still to leave without telling anyone and try to fix a problem himself. His first instinct still to push people away, even if he doesn't want too. Andros is the kind of guy who can be very friendly and comfortable when you get to know him and break through his armor, but he'll still slip away in the middle of the night on a potential suicide mission in a misguided effort to shield those around him. Andros, coming from a space colony that has already invented space travel, also tends to think of everyone else as idiots. And you also don't ask idiots for help.
Andros does what he has to do, no matter the cost, so usually, he does it alone. He's the guy who is okay with making the hard decisions, even if it's not the popular one. He's willing to take the cost on himself. Andros is also the kind of person who will do anything to get the job done. If he says he's going to do something, he does it. How doesn't matter. He'll cross lines other Rangers would never think of. Andros is the kind of ranger that believes the ends do justify the means. So if he needs to get his hands dirty to help the greater good, he would, and has done so. Even if that means it's not the popular one. He's willing to take the cost on himself.
Your character gets to return home, but when they do they learn that they've been gone for hundreds of years. How do they react?
Andros would be worried, furious, sad at least at first. He'd be upset, but he also tends to use those emotional reactions to work harder, for fuel. He'd get through the first 2 or 3 stages of grief in a few minutes before he started getting to work. He'd start by trying to contact Time Force, and see if there was a way they could get him back to where he was supposed to be. While they were working on that, or barring him not being able to get in contact with them, he'd search out any ranger teams, near or far. He'd dedicate himself to doing what he could with the rest of his time, in a place where he felt he didn't belong. In his off hours, he'd mourn the life he had, could have had, and the loss of his sister who he tried so hard to find. Andros would probably try and find out if she had any children. Family is important to him, and although the Power Rangers are family, always, Karone, his actual family, would always come first.
Andros has a tendency to shut down, either violently or silently, especially when his support system is taken from him. If he couldn't get back home, he'd start taking it out on every single monster he found, just like he reacted after the destruction and chaos on KO-35. When Andros regresses, he doesn't care if he lives or dies. He has layers upon layers of survivors guilt, and would probably try to take some bad guys down with him. Andros would probably react very similarly to how he did after KO-35 was overthrown and he lost almost his entire team. Not well. He slips easily back into old habits, and with no one to lean on (depending on the status of other ranger teams out there), he'd go back to raging a one Ranger war against the universe, and in a way, himself.

🦋 IC Information
Character Name: Andros
Age: 23
Canon: Power Rangers
Canon Point: Wild Force: Forever Red
Canon Abilities:
Red Space Power Ranger
Andros cannot morph into the red ranger without his morpher. It is a wrist based device with a keypad and allows him to turn into a Power Ranger, morphed in red and white spandex and a helmet. His weapons as the red ranger include his astro blaster and his spiral saber (a sword based weapon that can combine with his astro blaster for extra power). When morphed, Rangers have increased dexterity, constitution and strength, but nothing completely superhuman, just enhanced. Ranger abilities are powered up from their own human abilities. Gunfire, like laser blasts or stab wounds would damage him, but it would just take more to keep him down or hurt him. Andros can be painfully, forcibly demorphed. When this happens their morphed state is ripped from them, as they cannot maintain the concentration or life force necessary to keep going. Unmorphed, Andros is a regular human with sped up healing abilities and mildly increased strength, dexterity and constitution.
Andros' powers, like all of Zordon’s rangers, are tied in to his life energy. He can fight longer and take more hits, but he runs the risk of being much more seriously hurt the longer he goes. Unlike Power Rangers who were not under Zordon’s command, Andros forcibly demorphs only when close to death or seriously injured. Also, he will be in serious jeopardy of death if his morpher is broken, or in evil hands.
Battalizer
An enhancement given to Red Rangers. Number 1 is an extra powerful punch. Number 2 is a laser blast. Number 3 extra armor, wings, a force field and missiles. The missile attack is limited to 2-4 missiles fired simultaneously per morph. The missiles payload is limited, often enough to kill a powerful monster, or create an explosion in a small area, about 20-25 feet or so.
Andros also states that using Number 3 is dangerous as it could be too much power for his body to handle. When he uses it, he does sound like he's being eviscerated. The conversion for the body to accept that much power can be rather painful. Using 1 or 2 unmorphed for an extended period of time would be damaging to Andros' body.
Accelerated healing
The Power gives all Rangers the ability to heal much quicker from fights. This is usually within a couple of days for broken bones. This ability is offset by increased hunger.
Telekenesis
Andros, like most other Karovans, is telekinetic and has practiced from a young age. He’s only been shown as able to lift small objects, like a towel, pool stick or his weapon. He can't move heavy or big things like chairs.
Telepathy
Andros has a telepathic and empathic connection with Zhane, his Silver Ranger. It's not known whether Zhane and Andros have an exclusive connection or if this is something all Karovan's are capable of.
Mundane abilities
Combat
Most likely a black belt in the Karovan version of Taekwondo. Like most Power Rangers, Andros is skilled in self-defense, as well as ranger typical weaponry (firearms, explosives, handheld scientific scanners,etc).
First Aid
He probably has good enough first aid skills to deal with some injuries, but with ranger healing metabolism as it is, he isn't skilled. Usually just slap a bandage on it, stop the bleeding and the Power will do the rest.
Engineering
Andros is also the creator of the Megatank, an interstellar scanner and is usually the one in charge of repairing the entire Megaship (in addition to having run it by himself for 2 years, alone). So, while he’s smart enough to think astrophysics, engineering and the like are really easy, he’s emotionally and socially stunted and his range of knowledge isn’t exactly well rounded. Having been a red ranger since he was at least 13, his skill set and training have been rather one sided and have left holes in his education. He probably doesn’t know what a color wheel is.
Infiltration, Espionage and Reconnaissance
Andros is the most skilled spy in Power Ranger history. In the past he's infiltrated enemy locations to obtain information and has spent years trailing enemies.
Voice Manipulation Andros has been shown to be able to manipulate his voice during intel gathering to avoid being recognized.
