Personality: As a child, Adam was very shy and always picked on because of his height, usually leaving him out of playing with other children. When he started learning martial arts, his confidence improved but was still shy around others, more so girls. This did get him into trouble, trusting a young woman named Sabrina, even started to date her until she revealed herself as Scorpina, someone working for the evil being at the time, Rita Repulsa. Even after Rita was banished, Adam still had problems trusting in himself. After being confronted by Goldar and a magic mirror that replayed some of Adam’s childhood memories, making him feel useless, he fought them and managed to keep the gold monkey alien at bay. Throughout his early years as a ranger, he remained a quiet person but still a strong force during his time as the Green Zeo and Turbo Rangers. As an adult, he remains the same but his knowledge as a Ranger has helped others and he had even led a team of Rangers to help another team in need.
Around the time he became a ranger, like the others, was considered a ‘goody-two-shoes’ due to participating in many projects in the community and keeping good grades despite all the times he had to help save the world. Kind of a surprise to be honest. Adam is also someone who would protect others first and himself second; an example includes using his broken morpher to help the Space Black Ranger fight off a monster knowing full well that using it could (and nearly did) kill him. The need to protect and help also stems from him not having so much confidence as a kid although as an adult now, he has it. Adam is also someone who is proud of where he comes from, showing in his reaction of a family artifact turned into a monster by Lord Zedd, destroying it and meeting his family in Korea when searching for a piece of the Zeo Crystal.
Powers & Abilities: Adam still has his original morpher. His best ability is his martial arts skills. (The player has read the post about morphers and will most likely have him find someone who can fix it.)
What items will they be bringing with them? His morpher and his Power Axe, which only appears in Ranger form(if the morphed can be fixed).
Third-Person Sample:
Adam watched some of the children leave as they waved good bye. “I’ll see you next week. Until then, don’t pick fights unless you really want to stop coming here. I don‘t want to have another meeting with your parents about the subject.“ he said sternly.
“But-” one small boy started to protest but the man held up his hand slightly.
“No buts. Learning martial arts isn’t just about beating people up,” he then got down on one knee, looking at the child straight in the eyes. “it’s about focusing your energy into a state where you can take control and not just in the fighting ring. When I was your age, I was very shy around others and no one wanted to play with me.”
“You?” the boy gasped as his teacher chuckled.
“It’s true.” he replied. “Once I started learning Shaolin Kungfu, I didn’t just get stronger in a physical way but I took those lessons into what I did every day. It gave me confidence that I could only dream about before. I even gained some good friends that I still have today.” Adam gave the boys a smile before putting a hand on the smallest boy’s shoulder. “It’s good that you were protecting someone but next time, use it only as a last resort.”
“Yes Park-sensei.” they replied in unison, rushing over to their anxious parents. If there was one thing people knew about Adam Park, it was that he kept to himself but always kept an eye on the children who learn martial arts from him. As soon as the last of his students left, Adam closed the doors and locked them. It was getting close to dinnertime and he was the only one left in the dojo to finish cleaning up. Not that Adam was complaining; it wasn’t easy to own and run a business with only himself and one other person doing everything. Still, he liked peace and quiet and couldn’t be happier.
Ever since coming back to Angel Grove after helping Andrew Hartford and his ranger team, Adam felt like he mattered a little bit more. It wasn’t because that he regained the ability to morph after the fiasco with the Space Rangers that nearly ended his life, but the fact that someone had come to him with a problem. It was only four years ago when Tommy Oliver was chosen to wear the spandex yet again; some believed that he was the Power’s personal bitch because he kept getting pulled into all sorts of trouble.
Adam slipped one hand into his sweatpants pocket, touching the morpher that was inside and smiled.
“Once a ranger, always a ranger.”
First-Person Sample:
[The screen turns on as the face of a man in his late twenties with short black hair and dark brown eyes is shown. He is breathing deeply as sweat rolls down his face, smearing the dirt and blood on his cheeks. The screen moves further away and reveals the rest of his body: the clothes he was wearing had a few holes in them and he was holding a piece of metal in his left hand that looked like a big crack went straight down the middle. He scowls before peeking around the corner of whatever place he was hiding; being chased by some monster didn’t give him time to notice where he was at. The point was to get away from the creature at any cost…just not in a body bag hopefully. The man holds the device up to his face level then speaks.]
I think…I lost it. First arrive in some odd place then a surprise monster attack. This place just gets better and better. [Takes a deep breath.] It doesn’t help that my morpher got busted before waking up here, which pisses me off because it was just fixed! Maybe I should’ve said no to going back to ranger duty; at least I was still in one piece.
[He looks at his arm holding the morpher, dripping blood from a wound on his shoulder, and winces before falling to one knee, dropping the communicator at his feet. The man is starting to look tired, his head drooping down.]
I've been running since I got here and it doesn't look good for me right now. If anyone can hear this…please help. Someone…anyone. Just…tell me where I can find a safe place. Please…
