Nick Russell

"Forceful as Fire~Red Mystic Ranger! Element of Fire~Red Legend Warrior! Red Dragon Fire Ranger!"

Nick Russell is the Red Mystic Force Ranger.

Mystic Rangers
Nick was born Bowen, son of Leanbow and Udonna. In the magical world, he was referred to as "The Light", born of a powerful warrior and sorceress that would be destined to defeat the Darkness. During the Great War, Bowen was fought over by Daggeron and Calindor. Luckily, Phineas brought him over to the Human World where he was raised by the Russells.

Nick grew up to be a teen who, ever since his parents have been away for business trips and other important things, has been riding on his motorcycle from relative to relative. Nick was adopted as a baby and never knew his birth parents, and he keeps the red blanket his baby self was originally wrapped in for sentimental reasons. Nick is brave and headstrong. Though at first he was a wanderer.

Nick arrived in Briarwood to live with his sister on the same day that evil was unleashed. Not long after, the little town was rocked by a thundering earthquake that announced the arrival of ancient demons. Nick was knocked from his motorcycle during the tremor, but was unharmed. His bike was less fortunate, and he had to stop to repair it. During the repairs, he witnessed an old man in distress, desperate for help. When nobody else would assist him, Nick stepped up, and volunteered to escort him into the Briarwood forest. His decency inspired the other four teens to join up and aid the old man. Upon entering the forest, Nick and the teens lost sight of the old man, who soon revealed himself to actually be Udonna, the White Mystic Force Ranger. Udonna granted Nick a magic wans and the ability to manipulate fire. Nick was hesitant to accept the wtaff, and didnt believe anything Udonna said. It was at this point that Nick parted ways with the rest of the teens, and attempted to make his way out of the forest. Meanwhile, the other teens attempted to take on the invading Hidiacs, but were proving to be unsuccessful. Eventually, they were able to fully accept the power of magic and transform into the Mystic Rangers. Nick was the last to accept the power of magic, and came to join the team in the fight against Knight Wolf.

Nick works at the Rock Porium with the other Rangers and spends his spare time fixing his motorcycle. He was the first to befriend the troblin Phineas. However, Nick has a mysterious past he has not yet opened up to his friends about.

Although Nick isn't the type to hold grudges, Koragg the Knight Wolf is and has repeatedly used magical telepathy to drawn Nick into combat. Nick has found he can use the conection in reverse, contacting Koragg.

When he and the Rangers were battling Catastros and Koragg, he was pulled into another dimension with Catastros. In this dimension, his powers would not work as he was chased by Catastros, who was badly injured by Necrolai's crossbow arrows. Luckily, he managed to heal Catastros, and it was because of Nick's act of kindness that Catastros combined with him as Centaurus Phoenix Megazord.

Nick managed to recombine with Catastros to stop Morticon from destroying the city.

Nick and the other Rangers were trapped in an alternate reality where the Mystic Rangers were never discovered caused by Jenji and Imperious. They went to the Tribunal of Magic to have things fixed back to the way it was, and they returned the world to its rightful state.

Nick discovered that he was Udonna's lost son and the Light that the Ten Terrors were fighting for.

After Oculous had captured Xander, Vida, Madison and Chip, Nick was about to surrender. But Phineas finally was able to make Nick realize that with being The Light, Nick has the power to defeat the Darkness and save everyone. Nick then was able to join with Fire Heart to become the Red Dragon Fire Ranger, defeat Oculous, and save his friends. With the forces of evil defeated at the end of Mystic Force, Nick, Udonna and Leanbow decide to visit Nick's adoptive parents on motorcycles, but not before Nick giving Madison his blanket as a sign that he will return to Briarwood.

Red Mystic Ranger
As the Red Mystic Ranger, Nick wields the power of fire. He is always the first to rush in, using actions before thinking. Several times he has proven to have far more innate magical power than he should, such as when he instinctively knew the spell to re-seal Morticon in the Underworld. Nick's weapon is the Magi Staff Sword. His vehicles are the Mystic Racer and the Mystic Speeder. His Titan form is the Mystic Phoenix.

As the Red Legend Warrior, Nick gains the Mystic Lion Staff which allows him to use the Fire Storm spell and become the Mystic Firebird.

As the Red Dragon Fire Ranger, the Red Dragon Fire Armor covers the Red Ranger's body, and is applied on top of the Legend Mode Armor. With this armor also comes the Fierce Dragon Battle Staffs. These weapons are able to shoot about powerful magic blasts, repel attacking forces, and be thrown as tremendous spinning discs that can destroy any beast. The wings of the armor retract while not in use, but when fully extended, give the Red Ranger the capability of flight. The Red Dragon Fire Armor is the ultimate weapon in the battle against the dark forces of the Underworld.
