Name:  Veyon Randall

Ok, now to personality. :)

Veyon basically is a typical American youth.  However, because he's so 
small 

Five six would not be that small in japan. I think of Ranma as being around
five-eight with Akane around five-one and Ranma-chan around four-ten that
girl is tiny.

Ok, now I have a few questions for everyone.  

1)  I have pretty much decided that Veyon will _not_ like the fact that 
Ranma has three fiancees if he finds out.  He'll probably say as much, to 
Ranma's face.  My question is, the way Ranma is, what would be his 
reaction to someone basically telling him, flat out, "You're a 
three-timing jerk because you keep these nice girls hanging onto what's 
basically a pile of empty promises!"?  Would Ranma take it, or beat the 
crud out of our little gymnast?

Ranma will not fight him but he will get defensive about it. It is possible
he could convince Veyon that it is not his fault he has so many fiances and
possibly that he is not leading Shampoo on, but  because he can not fight
Veyon and he won't run away he might have to face some hard truths about
his relationship with Akane and Ukyou. I think Ranma could really use a
friend that is not a martial artist and is not afraid to speak his mind. 
  

2)  As I said earlier, I plan on having him get involved with someone.  I 
don't know who, other than it probably _won't_ be one of Ranma's 
fiancees.  I need suggestions.  (And no, he wouldn't put up with Kodachi 
or Azusa for a second.)  Fanfic characters are ok, as are possibly 
crossover characters, as has been suggested.  (BTW, UY takes place in 
Tomobiki,

I do not know this for a fact but when this was brought up before someone
mentioned that Tomobiki is the name of the high school in UY and that it is
in Nerima


 which is another suburb of Tokyo, and, from what I recall, 

somewhat close to Nerima.   One of the early episodes of the series has 
Ataru in Nerima, getting fried by Lum in her UFO.  Anyway.)  Ideas are 
always helpful folks. :)  

If he is a gymnast and joins the furinkan team then he would attend meets
at other schools giving him a means to meet other Manga characters.
