Complications
Personality - Akira has the classic Hiroshi Miyauchi swagger and suaveness down to a science.
Power Loss (Transformation) - The Gorenger Suits require a calm, focused mind. Heavy emotions stop the necessary electrical charge from going through.
Responsibility (Blue Senshi) - As the first in the long line of Sentai Blues, Aorenger feels an intrinsic duty to defend the Earth and mentor the next generation of heroes.
Background: Akira Shinmei, the Aorenger. Another of the five survivors of the Black Cross Army's massacre of EAGLE's Japan Bases, he was recruited by EAGLE's Japan Leader, Commander Edogawa, into the Gorengers, Earth's best chance against the enhanced forces of the Black Cross Army. As second-in-command to the Gorengers, Akira helped save the world, beginning the legacy of the Super Sentai, defending Earth for nearly half a century, engaging in the Great Legend War against the Zangyack Empire, and battling against and alongside the Sentai's brothers-in-arms, the Kamen Riders.
Notes: Aorenger is a pretty solid PL 10, with a focus on Ranged Skill and Piloting. With a somewhat weak, but chock-full of modifiers Blast Effect in Blue Archery, and Area Coverage with the Cherry Missile, he can provide great cover for his team in combat. He's fairly good shakes in melee as well, with just under elite-tier Unarmed, and some solid team advantages, owning up to his second-in-command status.
