Okay, I need some answers to write my very first (yippee!) fan fic,
so here goes.  How old is Mousse?  In fact, how old is the entire gang,
including Cologne and Happosai?  What would be a good name for Mousse's
younger sister?  Any suggestions?  What is Mousse's martial arts technique
called?  Are Ranma and Akane Freshmen or Sophomores?  What's the best place
in the Ranma 1/2 timeline to have a new character enter in?  Pre-Nodoka
knows?  Pre-Wedding?  

        Since I have read only a few mangas and have seen only about eight
animes (both movies), most of my Ranma 1/2 knowledge has come from character
biographies on various web-pages and the many illustreous fan fics out
there.  That means I don't know much about Konatsu (is that right?), Akari,
Gosunko... Gosunguk... that guy with the candle's strapped to his head, and
the various other more obscure characters.  If anyone could be so kind as to
inform me on the lesser known characters, I would be very grateful!  

        I also need information on Chinese spirits/ghosts/demons/vampires.
If anyone can help me on this, please do.  I'm trying to find any
information on those Chinese "Hopping" vampires... you know, the one's with
REALLY long tongues that hop around?  I also need information on an oriental
ghost/spirit.  It's the same kind as Hsien-Ko, a character from the second
Darkstalker's arcade game.  She's a young looking purple (probably a ghost)
girl who flings long chains and swords from her large sleeved robe.  Remind
you of anyone? :)

        Thank you for reading this!  I'm hoping to write at least a mediocre
fan fic, and will try my best to make it a happy one.  This'll probably take
a few days... it's spring break and I don't sleep much... except during the
day!  My greatful thanks in advance for any help!
