Mutant Sentai 5 (Open Source)

Real Name: <various>

Created by: Marz Workman, 7-21-13

Origin 

10,000 years ago, an alien sorcerer battled and eventually imprisoned an ancient (even then) evil in order to save the galaxy from annihilation. The evil one was imprisoned within a cosmic crystal of nearly limitless power.

Over the millennia, the alien sorcerer learned to tap this power and transfer it to others. It would only empower those of a race that were different; mutants. And only then, it would select those whose mutations complimented, or balanced, each other, and enhancing their natural mutations.

Only selecting five, or six, at a time, the crystal selected many teams over the thousands of years, and only until the threat was vanquished. This would sometimes last days, or even years.

Now, the evil one has escaped, taking with him a portion of the power, and the crystal has chosen a new team…

Powers and Abilities

• Each individual team member has his own power set.
• The cosmic crystal enhances the team members’ powers, giving them the ability to gestalt, or merge together to form a more powerful being, and bonds them together empathically to make them better teammates, and friends.

Team Appearance

Each member of the team has his own color, symbol, theme or weapon, distinguishing them from each other. Their uniforms vary from archaic armor to brightly colored spandex to high tech war-suits. They must be recognizable as a team.

Era
Teams can be from nearly any time period; from the ancient past, to the far future. Or a mixture of any in between. 

Weapons and Gear
With each having his/her own powers, I don't see much need for weapons. But, the choice is yours. Defensive gear is likely.
