I did this one the first time (I swear we did it before but I can't find the post in this comm) but let's try it again and see if I can come up with different ones!
1. Billy loves theatre. He hasn't tried much acting himself, but he worked as the director of Angel Grove High's school plays. The performances and the costumes appeal to him---the chance for people to assume new identities and expose new aspects of their personalities.
2. He spent much of his childhood with the rest of the first Ranger team trying to fit in with them by sharing in their hobbies, because he was told that inventing things in the garage 'isn't a real hobby' and that he was wasting his life away. He tried volleyball lessons with Trini, karate lessons with Jason, guitar and gymnastics lessons with Kimberly, and dance lessons with Zack. At various points during the series he displays all those talents in small doses.
3. Billy is a big-time approval seeker. He likes doing things for the benefit and entertainment of others, whether it's an impressive science project, homework help, or a brilliant solution to a problem in battle. When he fails to live up to his own standards, he fears everyone will reject him.
4. Upon receiving his powers, Billy's first two applications of Ranger technology were to invent a communication/teleportation device and a flying car. Later, he also tried to expand the application of morphing technology to other uses by making a rubber chicken 'morph' into a Power Eagle.
5. Billy filled his foreign language requirement at Angel Grove High with a Latin correspondence course, because no teacher in Angel Grove knows Latin. He was drawn to the language by its importance to the history of science.
6. Related to the above, as a small child he owned a stuffed blue wolf named Lupus that he confided in and cuddled. He grew exasperated explaining to adult after adult that he named him after the Latin word for wolf, not the disease. Lupus sat on Billy's dresser right up until the day that the Ohm destroyed Angel Grove.
7. Billy seems to have trouble holding onto a relationship. He's had four different love interests in one year, and two of them in the span of three weeks, but none of them remained interested in him longer than a week. Ranger duties and secrets tend to kill any chance of love with outsiders. He's been kissed on the cheek once, but nothing further than that.
8. He learns best from instruction manuals. Give him a diagram of martial arts moves or a detailed football rulebook and he can play any game the more athletic members of the team can play.
9. Why was Billy, a reclusive nerd, in such good shape when the Rangers started fighting? Simple: he gained all that muscle and flexibility from running from bullies, from extra sports practice sessions in an attempt to avoid dragging the team down and being laughed at in gym class, and from pulling himself out of trash cans.
10. Billy hates having his ears tweaked. Seriously, don't do it. It's a sensitive spot.
