Ranger Series Operators Headcanons
Ziggy isn't an orphan, he has a father. His father runs another cartel and has been quietly running it underground so far that not even the other cartels have heard more than whispers of.
Dillon and Tenaya's birth names are Daniel and Genevieve
Tenaya's implants are more complete than Dillon’s so once Venjix is defeated, she remembers everything. Dillon's memories come back slowly
Summer, Scott, and Flynn are ride-or-die friends. They'd hide bodies for each other if necessary and can communicate without speaking if necessary
Dillon thinks he stayed in Corinth for Summer, under the impression that she was the one who hooked that first fight into the satellite for Dillon’s borrowed car. Ziggy, forever the king of playing himself down, doesn't correct Dillon, he's just happy Dillon stayed.
None of the Series Operator Rangers are straight. Scott, Flynn, and Summer are all bisexual, Dillon is unlabeled and likes anyone (demisexual if he vibed with labels), Ziggy is gay (or bisexual leaning towards men), and Gem and Gemma are queer. Doctor K is the only one who's straight
If he knew to go looking, Dillon would find his parents' graves in the Wastes. They died protecting their children from Grinders, they were traveling to Corinth. Dillon's car belonged to his father
Gem and Gemma have a form of telepathy left over from the experiments done on them at Alphabet Soup, it's why they can finish each other's sentences
Ziggy has had a crush on Scott, Flynn, Dillon, and Gem, and a platonic one on Summer. He can't help it! They're badasses and Ziggy’s got a thing for people who could obviously kick his ass
Flynn is the oldest of the core Rangers at 25, Scott is 24, Dillon and Summer are both 21, Summer being a few months younger, and Ziggy is 18. Gem and Gemma are in their late 20s, Doctor K is 19
Dillon didn't just click with Ziggy, he actually only tolerated his Wastes partner for the few weeks they were in the Wastes together. But, somehow Ziggy grew on him
Ziggy is Dillon’s best friend, baby brother, and maybe more rolled up into one. Dillon adores Ziggy, but won't let it show. Ziggy, of course, knows this and adores Dillon right back
Scott, Summer, Flynn, Dillon, and Ziggy are all in what amounts to a Queer Platonic Relationship. They seek each other out automatically at this point. If so inclined, that relationship could turn romantic real quick
Scott gives doberman vibes, Summer gives white cat vibes, Flynn gives husky vibes, Dillon gives black cat vibes, Ziggy gives orange cat vibes
Ziggy was once a gymnast, which is the only reason he was able to fight as well as he did at first
The Rangers spar together even after Venjix is defeated
Dillon doesn't like Scott, but he does respect and love him
They're all fucking idiots at best, but Scott can and will chain himself to any of the Rangers if they try to run away.
All the Rangers have some form of abandonment issues. The least of which is Flynn, who has issues regarding his mother's death, the most of which is Ziggy, who was abandoned at the orphanage at age five
The Rangers are always in a rainbow of shipping, but none is more obvious than the RPM Rangers. You can ship anyone with anyone (except Gem/Gemma of course)
The hit on Ziggy’s head never went away, and he never expected it to. He was in the mob from age 10 to age 17, he knows better than to expect kindness from people who would kill him in a heartbeat
On that subject, Ziggy doesn't leave the garage unless he has another person (Dillon) with him
Dillon and Tenaya don't go back to their original names, but they do take their original surname of Sevenson (which is where Venjix got the Seven from)
All the Rangers have PTSD and nightmares. They sneak into each other's beds or have puppy piles on the floor. Usually, you'll see specific patterns with sleeping arrangements. For example, Ziggy hasn't slept in his own bed since the Venjix virus started taking over Dillon, but he rarely ended the night in his own bed even before that
Flynn is the fan-favorite Ranger, but it's a close tie with Dillon and Scott

Power Rangers RPM Headcanons
Ziggy has ADHD and Dyslexia (In Ghosts he’s shown to be a poor navigator and on more than one occasion gives the wrong left/right direction, possibly because he has a hard time determining which is which)
Dr. K, Gem, Gemma, and Dillon all have autism.
Dillon experiences hyposensitivity to pain, heat, and cold.
Though his upgrades make him more powerful they do not protect him from damage. After battles he has to search himself for injuries.
His attachment to wearing long-sleeves is a bit dangerous in the summer because he doesn’t notice the heat so he’s prone to heat cramps and heat exhaustion when they’re all running around or just outside for long periods of time when it’s really hot.
Dr. K loves the cold and enjoys keeping her lab near frosty temperatures, which Ziggy complains about because he’s got poor circulation and is cold easily.
Ziggy is transgender and he chose his name from an old newspaper cartoon series.
Ziggy shares Flynn’s love of comic books and they both geek out with each other frequently.
Dr. K has insomnia and eventually her and Dillon start hanging out at night when neither can sleep. They usually watch TV and eat ice cream.
Dr. K thought Scott was the 10 on the ‘Cuteness Scale’.
Post-Series Dillon has a bit of an identity crisis and ends up piercing his ears and getting a few tattoos, mostly flowers.
Dillon and Tenaya’s upgrades start failing a few years post-series. Dillon’s decline much faster because he was generation seven and she was upgraded later in the series. They have to have certain implants removed to retain movement and prevent infection. Tenaya loses her sight and Dillon gets nerve damage in his arm and shoulder.
Scott’s brother Marcus is buried next to their mother. Scott visits the graves three times a year, on Marcus and his mother’s birthdays and on Mother’s Day. Sometimes he finds flowers that he assumes are left by his father. However, Dillon is prone to visiting the graveyard as it’s a quiet place and he always stops to pay his respects.
Gem and Gemma have a strangely touchy relationship with Dillon mostly built upon their love for battle and all things physical. The first time the other rangers walk in on them all wrestling, they originally assumed they were genuinely fighting. But they just like to tussle.
