The Character Sheet for the Fanfic Power Rangers GPX.

Cast-wide tropes

The Rangers

The Rangers as a team

Sean O' Callahan / GPX Red

Nationality: American

Hometown: Chicago, Illinois

The leader of the GPX Rangers, Sean is the former captain of a junior ice hockey team. Due to the fact that he became Red Ranger instead of Daisuke, the two have a hate / hate relationship. Initially skeptical, he eventually warms up to his job and comes to embrace it (or, in his words, "have hot, sweaty sex with it".)

Kevin O' Donnell / GPX Blue

Nationality: Irish

Hometown: Dublin

A friend of Sean's prior to coming to Tokyo. He is a former member of the Irish Defense Forces. He acts sort of as a counter for Sean.

Mandla Aaron Ndebele / GPX Green

Nationality: South African

Hometown: Johannesburg

Daisuke's replacement as the Green Ranger. He's a college student who seemed reluctant to be a Ranger. He wants to help out the people of the townships, but Ranger duty interrupted it.

Daisuke Miyazawa / GPX Green

Nationality: Japanese

Hometown: Kyoto

The older of the Miyazawa siblings. The son of a wealthy family, Daisuke had been promised a position of leadership in the Rangers. However, he is angered when Sean is made Red Ranger. Eventually, after the other Rangers are nearly killed, he recognizes his flaws and leaves the team.

Maria Aparicio / GPX Yellow

Nationality: Venezuelan

Hometown: Caracas

The first lady to be introduced. She's a tough, no-nonsense lady from Venezuela (but has been living in Brazil for the past 3 years for unknown reasons). She acts as the reasonable figure of the team.

Hitomi Miyazawa / GPX Pink

Nationality: Japanese

Hometown: Kyoto

The other, younger Miyazawa sibling. Unlike her brother, she doesn't have much of an ego, instead trying to make friends with Sean, Kevin and Maria. Unfortunately, she has confidence issues that tend to compromise her fights.

Allies

Colonel Alan Greene

Nationaly: American

The military leader of Project Ranger. He is a rational man who prefers to think things through instead of rushing into things blindly.

Yuusuke Godai A.K.A. "Godai-san"

The owner of a sumo food restaurant that the Rangers meet after morphing for the first time. He eventually lets them stay at the inn he owns near Mount Fuji during the final arc of Part 1.

  • Happily Married: To his wife Hikari.
  • Nice Guy: He is literally described as having no hidden pain. That should tell you what kind of person he is.
  • Team Dad: The other one, at least.

Hikari Godai

Godai-san's wife. She's a little Closer to Earth but just as caring as Godai-san. She's also a nurse who helps bandage up the Rangers.

Shingo

A little boy who Sean saves early in the story. Eventually, he plays an unwitting part in the plot when Zordonian general Phaedos kidnaps him.

Toji-san

Daisuke and Hitomi's bodyguard. He isn't seen much after the second episode. Until the 15th chapter, that is.

Bridget Jackson

Sean's older sister who lives in Orlando with her husband Ken. She helps the Rangers move in to their new house. She has two children,

Robert "Rob" Jackson /GPX Silver

Bridget's husband and Sean's brother-in-law. He hasn't been developed yet, so tropes are coming. It's been revealed he's the Silver Ranger.

Tomas "Tommy" O' Callahan

Sean's little brother. He's in Orlando with Bridget because their dad (As in Sean's, Bridget's and Tommy's dad) dumped him with Bridget.

Barack Obama

Since we already know who he is, there isn't much to discuss. He's an off-screen character and will likely remain that way.

  • Reasonable Authority Figure: He gives the Rangers the go-ahead to operate on American soil after some deliberation (and probably seeing the Zordonians attack on national television).

Choushinsei Flashman

A second team of Rangers who pop up in episode 19. They don't get off to a good start with the GPX rangers.

Tom Maelstrom

The director of Strategic Worldwide Organization of Reconnaissance and Defense, aka S.W.O.R.D. He first shows up in episode 25 with a proposition for Col. Greene.

Enemies: The Zordonian Empire

The Zordonian Empire

Emperor Rashon

The leader of the Zordonian Empire. Not much is known of him but it's hinted he commands respect from billions of beings, including his own soldiers.

Eltar

Rashon's brother and second-in-command. Not much else is known about him, either, but he seems to coordinate the Zordonians' attacks.

Liaria

Unlike Rashon and Eltar, she's actually given some character development. She becomes the rival of Maria and Hitomi and fights them a couple times over the course of the story.

Hercuron

The muscle of the Zordonians. He thinks almost entirely of destruction, never thinking about anything but smashing things. He fights the Rangers from time to time, getting beat only once. Unlike the other Zordonians, he's not based on any other Sailor Moon villain.

The Four

The four greatest Zordonian generals. They are tasked with beating the Rangers by their Emperor Rashon.

Phaedos

The first Zordonian general the Rangers face. He is smug, usually sporting some kind of smirk on his face. His plan is to separate the Rangers and he almost succeeds.

Kalderon / Marcus Schneider

The second Zordonian general the Rangers will face. He has currently been charged with defeating them, but hasn't done much yet.

Tirna

The third Zordonian general, this one has yet to face the Rangers.

Zentor

The fourth Zordonian general, and apparently the best.
