Akane - She's going to have a much more different characterization, as 
obviously since she didn't fight her engagement to Kuno, she is a 
different person in this world.  A possibility for this fact could be
that Soun is a stronger person in this world or that perhaps her mother 
didn't die in this universe.  *OR* another possibility is that she's the 
one's who the Juysenko(sp?) curse. 

Hmm... unlikely since only Genma was dumb... er... courageous enough to 
go out there.  Besides, Soun didn't know where the ponds where, just what 
the ponds where about.... sorta.

Ranma vs. Akane - Obviously their whole relationship is going to be 
different, but I think that Akane is still going to be *very* ticked when 
she finds out what Ranma and Soun cooked up.

Hmmm... perhaps, perhaps not. The promis Ranma made to Sound was open ended,
perhaps a reflection of his more mature attitude. ^_-  But so far, I 
don't see how Akane could be upset with Ranma. He isn't insulting, he's 
more mature, he's caring... cosiderate.  Almost the kind of person some 
people would like to go after.  The one possiblity is this: the fiance's 
that Genma had attracted to Ranma. 

Ryouga - Can't see him as a key character is this fanfic, as he never had 
a dual with Ranma in middle school.  Isn't cursed and never even fought 
Ranma in fact.  *BUT* he could be in love with Ranko, which would make 
things *very* interesting, especially if Ranma takes a dislike to him.  
(Who ever likes the guys who hit on your sister?)

Hate to say it, but *wrong*.  He and Ryouga should have still had a duel.
The wish asked for no-curse and it only curtailed the trip to the ponds, 
hence life happenings before that trip should still be the same.  But 
this is left to the author. ^_-  So he should still know Ryouga, Ryouga 
should still know him.  But I believe the grudge should be MUCH less 
intense without the curse to burden them with it. ^_^  

Ukyou - Can't see her in here either, but it's possible that she could be 
introduced into the storyline now, I have no clue how.

*ahem* and why wouldn't she be in it?  Their father's were old friends. 
When she and Ranma first met was when they were but children... very youg 
children. (young).  As far as anyone knows, she could still arrive at the 
school or already be there. ^_^ (since I think the story takes place at 
the same time as when he made the wish, but life has progressed without 
the curse, so.... dominoes...) So Ukyou would most definitely be in 
Nerima, most likely, Ucchan's will exist. Who knows... Ranma might even 
accidently take Akane to Ucchan's and act like he knew her in old times. ^_^

Off to read more fanfics,

Good call. ^_^

Wing.
