Nerima:The Masquerade
Whar if Some one in the Nerima Bunch were Embraced?
Wyrm's started one. Shampoo was embraced, and 20 years later she's
shown up at Ranma and Akane's home.
There's a lot of possibilities for mixing the World of Darkness and
Nerima of course. You could justify casting Ranma as a Stargazer garou or a
Toreador (handsom guy, true artist in his movement) However the best cast would
be as an Akashik Brother.
I don't think Ranma could cut it as a vampire he's too...open. He's not
really a good Stargazer either, not enough self control. Akashic Brother
is probably the best.
Kuno could be a Silver Fang (Really inbred), a Malkovian (With a delusion of
himself as a near god) or a really arogant Ventru. A Marauder Akashik brother
also works good.
Kuno isn't crazy enough to be a Maurauder and he doesn't have the proper
mind set for an Akashic. Silver Fang works, as does Malkavian tho.
Ryouga works well as a Bruha, or a member of the Get of Fenris. Or you could
create the lost tribe of Wereboars. An Akashik brother works just like Ranma,
however he could also a Eshu (the Middle eastern faeries who constantly travel.)
A Troll might work as well but they loose their power when they do something
dishonorable.
Ryoga's not wild enough to be a Brugha. Get would work tho as would Eshu.
I can't see him as a troll tho.
Akane might turn out to be a Ahroun Garou, could be any tribe. It would
certainly explain why she's get's mad so easialy.
Not quite any tribe, she wouldn't be, for example, Uktena (they're too
mystical), Wendego (they only have Native American members), Stargazers
(she doesn't have enough self control), Shadow Lords (she's not devious or
powerhungry enough), Silver Fangs (she doesn't have that "royal/insane"
air), Actually I see her as a Black Fury my self, the only problem with
that is that they're in Greece.
Nabiki works as a Tremain or Ventrue, a Shadow Lord or glass walker, or as a
member of the Syndicate.
Nabiki's not mystical enough to be Tremare. Shadow Lord, Ventrue, or
Glass Walker would work. I don't think she's quite evil enough to be a
Technocracy member tho.
Something else for you to think about. Do you really want to subject the
Ranma1/2 characters to global conflicts? and do you really want to
subject the world of darkness to the insanity that is Ranma 1/2?
Thanx for listening to me rant and rave
AJ
ps its Tremare not Tremain, Malkavian not Malkovian, and Akashic not
Akashik.
sorry.
