#lore planning

Well a little bit cause this goes into my S3 fic on ao3 and I don’t want to spoilers anything fully but this goes into a few ideas I had with Ethan overall.

So we all got glimpses of his other abilities or the further extent to his seer like powers, for instance in the finale we know he was developing telekinesis and could also handle the lucifractor without being corrupted by it like Benny or being drained from its influence like Evelyn. Heck some even theorize that he can’t be put into mind control by Erica due to his powers.

But what exactly were the developing onward? What could’ve been Ethan’s path if the show wasn’t canceled?

So there’s this thing called the Blue Flame, a power that seers eventually grow throughout their lives if they’ve practiced their powers with visions over time. The idea came from the background of blue fire being associated with inner wisdom and consciousness, say like an enlightenment with the soul of sorts where they can allow the embers to further their visionary talents and view beyond visions…seeing through the spirit, plus fire has always been associated with guides and oracles so I’d just see it something that ties in well with him.

More on this is that basically Ethan’s power grew due to the fire starting to spark within his being, say the telekinesis and stronger willpower in bypassing evil influences like the lucifractor. The flames themselves not only help him have visions on command and read into people but also they can purge dark forces like ghosts.

There are actually a few levels of the blue flame that a seer can go through to fully master it, I can’t go into full detail cause again spoilers but let’s just say if Ethan develops the ability fully then he’ll be a powerhouse. Some seers end up losing their visions if they fail or if the flames go out but due to theories on the Morgan lineage with magic I’d say Ethan technically has a heightened chance with fleshing out his powers(I’ll have to invest age more on family history and seers as well)

As for origins I have some specifics on where this and seers came from but that’s still a bit of development(noticed your post about Apollo being connected possibly to Ethan and you got me thinking a little so who knows👀🔥)

I might also do an open rp starter with the bakery opening but that's plans for November after the halloween event >:]

Every time I post a new lore-related thing I'll get a random number generator and generate a number between 15 and 20, and that'll be the number of scavs ("cycles") until the next lore post. The number is big because I can't draw quickly enough to make it smaller sobs

Also depending on what I feel like at the time, it could just be a silly scav from Invisible To Some, an actual update also from Invisible To Some, or a couple other things I don't want to spoil until we get there

...I think this is the most fun I've ever had running anything

Staff: Gaolers are officially here!

Marah and Kapri's parents, Kairi and Gasharioto

Psst @lordkingsmith @skyland2703 @ninjastormz made more on this 👌🏾

(Temporary images to get some idea before I draw their designs, Gasharioto is based both on Gasha Jr from Kakuranger and Rito from mmpr with a little of Skull mixed in)

Anyways, Kairi was adopted when Kiya and Kanoi were four years old. Their parents were on a retrieval mission stationed in New Zealand due to a hidden town being destroyed mysteriously and in the remnants of a few relics they found an infant no older than two years old, black and pinkish hair.

The parents never were able to have a third child so they decided to adopt the infant and named her Kairi. Both Kiya and Kanoi cared for her very much, Kiya seemed to have a better bond with her considering his negative upbringing and drifting away from his twin brother. Kairi was described as a very adventurous person as she would stay up for many nights looking to the stars and wondering about “other worlds” as she saw something that the others didn’t, her teen years consisted of a little rebel phase and enjoying rock music.

One night when she was twenty three a flash from the sky shot down and a man in spatial clothes with a rebellious style appeared and fled the scene. Without any notice Kairi went on to wonder what happened to that mysterious individual but flash forward a few months later she met the man during a small rock shoe and the two hit it off with a marriage? He went by Gash for short and soon after a few dates the two were obsessed with each other, Gash revealed himself to be a karmanian which from the show are being of energy who pass their powers onto another being when they pass on.

As to why this man from the stars arrived on earth stayed unknown for a while but ignoring his purpose he took Kairi on a honeymoon trip to enjoy music and see the stars, due to going without notice everyone assumed Kairi up and dissapeared for a year causing a grave panic for Kiya and Kanoi. She returned from space with Gash and with her were two twin infants, Marah and Kapri, of course her brothers were skeptical as they were unaware of the marriage nor did they know about the space antics and origin behind Gash, Kiya was quite untrustworthy of Gash but hey what are you going to do?

1989, the twins are now five and Gash is starting to act weird, something or someone has been making the karmanian feel on edge and Kairi can sense this. The couple has been living on their own for a while and also overseeing Marah and Kapri as they went to attend ninja school, on one tragic night another light fell from the sky causing Gash to get Kairi and flee, though it was too late as whatever caught up with Gash from his past managed to not only to torch their house but ended up killing Kairi before going after Gash.

Marah and Kapri were staying other at the Watanabe estate with their cousin and uncles(Miko as well) when the news was shared about their mother’s passing, Gash wasn’t found and presumed dead as well. Outside of the family being heartbroken, it’s also rather tragic as the year after Miko Watanabe would pass way from a sickness. With the loss of their parents Marah and Kapri tended to act out on their own and usually tried keeping to themselves, gaining quite a reputation within school of being semi troublemakers, Kiya seemed to be very attentive to them throughout it as he could relate in being a problem child within the family. Gash’s true form is very human like but the aura he emits with Ki turns into a rockstar like suit as it reflects his own persona, he hid it while on earth due to how strong it was but Marah and Kapri also have this trait with being half karmanian hence why their true forms consists of those serpent and insect related outfits.

Basically the enemies I'm planning for the Dustin/Hunter Ninja Storm AU and the Ninja Steel Rewrite AU is yokai. Since I'm paying homage to the ninja sentai seasons while crafting lore I decided to go with this idea.

Yokai like in real life are supernatural beings revolving around many themes and folklore. Here they can sprout from the negativity or strong emotions of the world, various ways for them to be born, heck maybe even instances of a human turning into one after death.

One things for sure is that no matter the origin they come into existence mainly from the Abyss of Evil which in the show was a prison for Lothor but here I'm elaborating more on said dimension. Some rifts from the abyss can open up in the mortal world allowing for yokai if strong enough to walk amongst the earth reading havoc or even latching onto a person as a vessel(similar to the Hitotsuki of Donbrothers).

Rifts can be rare but they have the possibility to open up all over the universe, some may influence different locations who knows🤷🏾‍♂️

Like the rangers and people in those universes yokai can utilize the power of ki(called karma in the Ninja Steel au) with the elements and their abilities.
