Profile

Ziggy Grover hadn't intended to be a Power Ranger. When the world had seemingly ended, with only the city of Corinth left against the Venjix mechanical army, Ziggy had found a way to survive, sucking up to Fresno Bob, the leader of the Scorpion Cartel. Clumsy, awkward, gawky, Ziggy's wisecracking and storytelling abilities kept people from coming down on him too harshly for his screwups. And then his soft heart got him in trouble, as he sacrificed what good-will he had among the Cartels to donate medical supplies to an orphanage and disappear lest they find out the truth. A series of misfortunes and troubles brought him back to the city (totally not unexpected from those who knew him), and towards one more mission: to find a new Ranger Green. Unable to protect the morpher, Ziggy did something desperate: he activated the morpher on himself, to avoid -another- failure. Now the unwanted, unexpected Ranger fights on for the city of Corinth.

DR. K: Without Dr. K, the morpher and the Zords cannot be powered up. If she's ill, unavailable, or not at her terminal to power up the morpher or the zord, then Ziggy is, essentially, left to his own devices.

The CARTELS: Ziggy was a former Scorpion Cartel associate, working under Fresno Bob. Entrusted to do a mission for the five major Cartels of Corinth, he failed to accomplish his mission. As a result, all five Cartels are seeking his head, none more so than Fresno Bob.

UNEXPECTED RANGER: Because Ziggy was not chosen to be a ranger, but rather forced into it by circumstances, he lacks the gifts that the others had - he's not a leader type, he's not a soldier type, he's not even a fighter type. As a result, his combat skills are lacking; he's more prone to think 'flee' first rather than 'fight'.

FLAKE: In general, people who don't know him well have difficulties trusting him to complete tasks - he's, essentially, a clown, unable to take things seriously, and is that guy in the classroom who always has to quip -something- even during deadly serious moments. He seems extremely unreliable at first glance. And second glance. And third glance.

SIMPLE-MINDED: He tends to look at things with a very simple outlook at first, an impromptu analysis based on what he sees immediately, and sometimes doesn't think ahead far enough, including being a little bit careless. A bit of an 'Okay, let me have the spare key' followed by 'Um, that was the spare' and then one suddenly understand just how Ziggy ended up failing a lot of missions for the Cartels when left to his own devices.

CLUMSY: Ziggy is not the most physically gifted individual to begin with; he's a lanky, gawky person whose coordination is more reliant on sleight of hand to keep himself out of trouble. When morphed, his suit amplifies this lack of coordination -more- so; as a result, he fights with the grace like a flopping fish early on before the suit catches up with him.
