Mighty Morphin Mecha Rangers/Characters

Here we have the various colorful characters who poke up their heads while trying to keep them at the same time...

The Blackmailed Mecha Rangers

These are the heroes of our story, brave men ranging from 13 to their 30s who are perfectly happy to give their lives for the city owned by a man who blackmailed them.

Tropes common for the team:

Simon

The youngest member, the most Hot-Blooded, and he's also piloting the smallest mecha.

Tropes:

Shinji Ikari

Second youngest member and the most reluctant; as well as the most laughably pathetic.

Tropes:

Barrier Warrior: With Eva
Butt Monkey
Combat Pragmatist: Gores Cloverfield in the crotch with Eva Unit-01's horn
Cowardly Lion
Determinator: See Heroic Resolve below.
Dissonant Serenity: As he kills Deathwing.
Heroic Resolve: Shinji doesn't want to fight at all and is frequently terrified of the Eldritch Horros that show up and nearly hand him his ass. But he still keeps going nonetheless.
Sanity Slippage: Appears to have a bit of this in the more recent chapters, complete with a heavy dose of Mind Screw.
The So-Called Coward

Roger Smith

A Negotiator who also happens to pilot a Black Mecha...what? What's so unusual about that?

Tropes:

King Van Slanzar de Fanel

The King of a minor kingdom on a planet that can see Earth but Earth can't see his world...weird isn't it?

Tropes:

Bit Cloud

Ace pilot or lucky-as-hell junk-lover? Your guess is as good as mine.

Tropes:

The people dragged along with the blackmailed rangers

They're not complaining for some reason, but these are the solid walls of support for the Rangers. Family, Friends, Not-Lovers and so on. So here they are in order of introduction.

Smith Family

Roger Smith's butler, his wife Dorothy and their daughter Annie. Wait...Something seems very strange about half of that sentence...

Big Good
Death Is Cheap: Considering how he got here...yeah...

Fallen Hero: If the canon is anything to go by, he could qualify for this trope.
