I know stories featuring the children of the Ranma 1/2 cast have been done
before, but has anyone put the following slant on one:

Have three seperate realities where Ranma marries Akane, Ukyo, and
Shampoo respectively, and have Ranma's children from the three realities
somehow meet up (suggestions as to how this could happen, anyone?)
Ranma's children may or may not return to the time of the regular Ranma
continuity (I haven't fleshed out the details yet). 

	Trust Me.  This has been done repeatedly.
	However this should not really stop you, but it was part of the
reason I squelched a similar idea of mine when said stories started
showing up.

Also, tell me what you think of my ideas for Ranma's children.

	Not bad (although some of the 'inherited' curses seem a little
extreme)
	
	Hmm... *sigh* might as well reveal my old ideas about the 2nd
generation....

	(Poss. Assupmtion: Ranma can no longer sire sons due to curse)
	(No, I didn't get as far as figuring out names here)

	Ukyo's Kid: Never developing the passion her mother and father had
for cooking and martial arts (although Ranma has insisted on her gaining
minimal (i.e. Akane level) compitence), instead discovering computers at
age 8 and never looking back.  She's comparatively intellectual and level
headed (a minor miracle all things considered), but remains inhumanly
tenacious and obsessive when a challenge or goal is set before her.

	Kodachi's Kid: Cunning and ruthless by nature (basically a less
deranged version of her mom) and possessing considerable skill in combat
in general, she has embraced the art of shinobi as a semi-acceptable way
of exercising her more underhanded fighting style.  It gets worse, she has
considerable expertese in applied tech and uses it to create additional
'edges' (tasers/smoke bombs up the sleeve, body armour, experimental
opti-camo, etc).

	Akane's Kid: As nightmarishly skilled as Ranma, with his arrogance
(tempered by the still vaster skill _of_ her timeline's Ranma)  and
brashness coupled with a temper _slightly_ better than Akane's.  Also
possessed of a tomboyish nature (and related incompetince in the feminine
arts) but cares little.

	Shampoo's Kid: As sneaky and _almost_ as hot-headed as her mother,
she has recieved extensive training from both mother, father, and
great-great-grandmother (Amiguriken, Bakusai Ten Ketsu, HST, low level
Neko-Ken, The Works).  She has also spend considerable amounts of time in
Japan from childhood and is fully aware of local customs and mores (the
degree to whish she takes them to heart is, of course, a different story
altogether) as well as flawlessly bilingual.

	Any Thoughts?
