The Story...
At the fringe of 'Galaxy-NGC1512', approximately 3000 light years away from Earth, an undiscovered star-system named 'Muracle' exists. 10 unique planets constitute Muracle. Each planet had developed its own civilization and unique culture in a peaceful environment. One day, unidentified organisms were detected in Muracle. The dragons from the planet Draconic who were in charge of monitoring Muracle took it upon themselves to examine these mysterious organisms.
Upon initial investigation, they found nothing harmful about these cute creatures. While the examination of the new organisms was proceeding, people in Muracle started to raise these harmless creatures as pets. Some people even began befriending them; eventually those creatures were named Ohms for the purr-like sound they made. The Ohms were so readily tamed because they had lovely traits that the people of Muracle found attractive. Soon the Ohms multiplied and could be found everywhere.
Some time later, Muracle was gradually losing its balance; the planet Eliten's scientists discovered that the Ohms were sent from Muracle's rivals the Geracle star-system. As the Ohms had been accepted as a part of society, they were easily found all over the planet. It was later found out that the people of Muracle became depressed and un-energized when the Ohms emitted their purring sound which were in fact low frequency waves. Knowing this the leaders from each planet gathered together and discussed a plan to free the planets from this crisis. Eventually they discovered that the planet O2 was the only planet that was not affected by Ohm's low-frequency emissions. They also discovered that Ohm's weak point was the O2 (Oxygen) generated when O2's people played in musical jam sessions. The leaders from O2 were requested to save Muracle from the crisis and to do this they formed a special team called the Muracle Rangers.' Their task was to liberate the other planets from the Ohms influence as quickly as possible.
O2jam Characters..
-Ohm-
While its origin is unknown the place that it was first discovered was on the planet Draconic. Its size and looks can vary but all agree that the Ohm would make a tame and lovely pet. Like its physical outlook its life span and characteristics also varies depending on its breed. The Ohm is a polyphagous animal and it can survive on many kinds of food. While the Ohms were being examined by the scientists, these seemingly harmless creatures were being raised as pets by the people of Muracle. To make matters worse some people even began befriending the creatures. It was these people who named the creatures Ohms. The name was derived from the purring sound the creatures made. The Ohms were so readily tamed because they had lovely traits that the people of Muracle found attractive.
-O2MO-
Hello! My name is O2MO. I'm a robot who lives on the O2 Planet of the Muracle system. As you know from the O2Jam story, the people in the low-frequency planet of the Geracle-system sent out the creatures we have come to know as Ohms to our star system. These creatures were loved by people from the very beginning. But we found out later that they gradually made people depressed and spiritless. Now the creatures have spread to all the planets save for our O2 Planet. According to Eliten, the scientists' of the O2 Planet, the Ohms avoid our planet because of the Oxygen (O2) we generate from our Jam sessions. As I play an important role in generating Oxygen when people Jam, I feel more responsible than ever towards the people of Muracle and the elimination of the Ohms. But I need a helping hand from you all of you. I can generate Oxygen only when you achieve 'Jams'. So let's work together to sweep away the Ohms. Together we can do it. I'm looking forward to seeing you in action.
-Mesata Kir-
Kir has been a music maniac since he was a child. His room was always full of instruments and he was totally in love with writing and playing music. No one could ever separate him from his music, music was more than a part of his life. One day, the battle with the Ohms commenced and his father, Count Masata who was also a commander of the Crush Forces escaped with him and his family. Because his father ran instead of doing his duty the people of Crush began hating their family. Kir was embarrassed and crushed by the fact that his own father was a coward. When he heard of the ..Muracle Rangers.. he immediately enlisted. While he was disappointed with his father..s actions he was determined to prove himself and wipe that disgrace from his family.
-Lemin Mercedes-
Lemin Mercedes, with vivid brown eyes, thick lips, long silky shoulder length hair and of average height she is more than picture perfect. She maintained her sunny and positive outlook even after her father, a general of the Crystal Force died in battle. Her mother on the other hand never recovered from the loss of her husband. While she is usually a cheery girl Lemin is also known for her hot temper and her strange way of doing things. Either way, Lemin is always keen on getting rid of the Ohms while at the same time turning aside advances made by her many admirers. To do her part to rid the planets of the terrible Ohms she enlisted into a special force called the 'Retuarte' which is a group under the ..Muracle Rangers... She was promoted to squadron commander of the Retuarte due to her prowess in battle. When not fighting the Ohms she often busies herself practicing on her keyboards and drums.
