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".)

• A Man Is Not a Virgin: Hilariously averted, since he is a virgin and only had one kiss in his entire life (Maria did kiss him in an earlier episode, but it was a Shut Up Kiss and Maria says it doesn't count).
  • But also a positive aversion, since even though he's a virgin, he still kicks ass.
• Ascended Fanboy: Sort of. He knows a few things about Power Rangers, that's for certain.
• Badass
• Bandage Dude: After Phaedos beats the crap out of him.
• Berserk Button / Hair-Trigger Temper: Whenever Daisuke insults him

• Brown Eyes
• Cluster F-Bomb: Almost every other word of his dirty mouth is a swear word.
• Cool Car: The GT Racer, his zord.
• Cool Sword: The GT Sword. However, the first one broke so he gets a new one, which resembles the Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. However, that's just the way he asked them to make it.

• Ship Tease: With Maria and Hitomi.

• The Windy City: South Side, to be exact.

• Glory Hound / Glory Seeker: A possible Deconstruction, related to Royal Brat below.

• Screw the Rules, I Have Money: He thinks he can do this, but he Can't Get Away With Nuthin'
• Spoiled Brat / Royal Brat: He's a modern, non-royal version of this trope. Possibly deconstructed, since his selfishness not only splits the team up, it nearly gets them all killed.
• Take That: He's pretty much a Take That aimed at Japanese nationalists.
• Ted Baxter: A less comedic version. he thinks he can lead, but he freezes up whenever something bad happens. This allows Sean to become leader.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Sean and is on the receiving end of one from from his sister. He's later on the receiving end from Sean.
• What the Hell, Hero?: On the receiving end of several of these. The first is when he he nearly fires on civilians, the second is when Hitomi yells at him and third when Sean decks him for his behavior.
• Would Hit a Girl: Especially if they're a complete bitch and she's threatening his sister.

Maria Aparicio / GPX Yellow
