Ryan Gladius

"As noble as a hawk, Red Animal Ranger!"

Ryan Gladius is the Red Hawk Ranger.

Character History
Ryan's childhood is unknown, but his adoptive father is a policeman, whom he seems to have a very close relationship with. Like the other Rangers, he was presumably kidnapped and knocked out by Kirzan before being asked to become a Power Ranger. He accepted readily enough, taking the Red Hawk Morpher. Although the team performed poorly in his first fight, when Kirzan mentioned picking others (most of them had been very reluctant to accept) Ryan said that they'd been chosen specifically, and would be crazy to turn an offer like this down. He also persuaded Maria to accept, helping her get out of trouble with her adoptive parents.

At eight in the morning the next day, Ryan showed up to show Maria around, and teased her a little about her dramatic bed hair. They went to the park, and discussed the weirdness of English before Ryan realized he had to get home. Of course, that was when Leevy and a horde of Karrionites attacked. Ryan's fighting had already improved, though every time Maria seemed to be in trouble he'd go to help--which meant that when Leevy managed to turn her evil, he ended up fighting her. Probably since he was reluctant to harm her, Maria won, though Jack's arrival and Kirzan's quick draw ended that threat.

Later, Ryan and Maria watched The Hunger Games together. The power went out unexpectedly, and both Rangers realized quickly that nothing natural could have caused it, so they called Kirzan. The team gathered in the park, where Frigris attacked. Ryan led the morph, and he and Jack tag-teamed the monster and almost defeated him before Florta arrived to back him up. Ryan managed to avoid the new monster's voice-stealing attack, and he and Jenelle kept Frigris busy until the others had dealt with Florta.

Personality
Ryan is amiable and open, particularly towards Maria, and he's eager to help fight monsters.
