The general idea: 5 college students in some town near the water-like, it's a port town-find a magic seashell and hear the desperate cries of a Mermaid, the Queen of Atlantis. She's calling for help cause her sister, a jealous Sea Hag and her battalion of Sea Monsters are trying to take over the surface.

Mariner Red: An 'odd' guy who goes off of his own tempo. Comes off as dumb, but simply thinks differently and can be an unorthodox sage. He really loves fishing and his main weapon is probably is fishing rod weaponized.

Mariner Blue: Red's best friend and heavily implied to be romantically involved. She's tech savy and a former school delinquent. Low key Yakuza themes. Often has to drag Red out of whatever trance he puts himself in. Her weapon is a pair of brass knuckles.

Mariner Green: Olympic swimmer. Arrogant guy who keeps trying to flirt with the girls, even when they're not interested. Slowly learns to get over himself. Is usually the show's butt monkey in the beginning for his attitude. His weapon is a laser pistol.

Mariner Yellow: Likes to eat; seems to always have food on the mind and carries snacks everywhere. Monsters attacking food stands makes him go berserk. He's the Team's muscle-not the best fighter though, just the physically strongest. Is often paired with Green and they fight a lot; they use to be best friends, but broke up over something. Their relationship mends over the series. His weapon is a hammer.

Mariner Pink: Moody guy; androgynous. Is the most skilled fighter of the original 5 cause he actually learned martial arts. Gets confused for a girl a lot and then proceeds to brutalize someone for questioning his manhood. His weapon's a bow.

Mariner Black: The Crown Princess of Atlantis, has been in hiding and managed to escape to the surface from under her oppressive Aunt's thumb. She'll have a fractured relationship with her mother, claiming she's "a useless queen" and won't respect the Mariners initially, especially Red and his laid-back attitude, but she'll come around. When she appears, Green will have started to reform and will try to pursue her, with Yellow as his wing-man, even though Blue keeps warning her not to trust him. Fights with a Trident and does some funky water manipulation.

Mariner White: Black's royal retainer, is duty-bound to fight by her side. Stoic, seems super serious but keeps getting in silly scenarios and setups, despite his lack of reaction. Is infatuated with Pink, is up in the air if he feels the same. His weapon is a sword-about time, I know right?-and conjures lightning.

(Sorry if you don't like these Rangers in terms of their arcs and personalities; I only intended to give Red, Black, and White focus and I kept going from there. Curse my Inner Wannabe Writer!)

They start with a singular Zord; Marine Captain! It's a battleship that transforms into a mech when it comes out the water. They'd get add-on mechs based off of other sea creatures, each one revolving around a mini-arc for the various rangers. Like Red needing to fish out Marine Swordfish and it turns into a sword, or Yellow Arm-Wrestling Marine Octopus, which would be some kind of lasso-like weapon to grapple foes in place. Or maybe a shoulder-mounted cannon.

Black and White would have their own Zord, the Marine Sniper, which would be a submarine.

Also, FairyKing: I REALLY liked HeartRanger! I hope their mandatory movie airs on Valentines Day. :P (Maybe Silver/Steel Heart was the original HeartRanger, like a prototype, but he lost his Significant Other and he turned his back on the power of love.)

I think this sentai could have more influences from any stories about atlantis both science fiction and fantasy.
