I was just re-reading this and thinking about what is going next. It
might help if you gave a general idea about where you want the story
to
go. Ranma has to go back to the temple, which means intoductions to
Morisato and Co. But as for the awakening you are going to have to
explain Urd's godhood to Ranma, probably with a demonstration. There
are
two main points which you have to decide.
1> Will ranma embrace his godhood and move on or think he made yet
another mistake and another choice was taken away from him. If you
follow traditional Ranma, he would probably get mad at Urd because he
could have been cured, etc. But from the first chapter it is evident
that he is a bit different than the average Ranma, and Urd has
certainly
made an impression on him.
2> How the Hell (no pun intended) is Urd going to react? Urd had
close
to the same reaction choices as Ranma. How will she react to know
that
her new daughter is actually a son, or both? I think that Urd (I have
read up through Mara strikes back by the way, or are you basing this
only on the anime?) will be kind of annoyed at the beginning, and then
become involved in Ranma's love life seeing as she is the goddess of
love, or likes to think she is. It would be very dangerous to make har
mad at Ranma as they wake up, as this rejection by the only one he has
opened his heart to would totally kill him.
Okay, when they wake up both will be in shock. They will have
different reasons. Urd Because(1.) She's a mother now, (2.) She has
no
idea how to react to having a child, (3.) She knows he kid is cursed.
(Remember Ranma told his life story to her.) and she can't do anything
about it.
Id that how you are going to write it- that they can't fix the Jusenkyo
curses they are godesses, and Urd had somewhat powerful magic, if she
can get it work
(4.) She has to introduce her new kid to her family. (5.) She
has to help Ranma adjust to his/her new life.
Ranma is if nothng wlse, extremely adaptable, his life on the road and
anything-goes lifestyle has taught him to adapt to change more easily
than others.
As for Ranma he needs to worry about (1.) His new mother he
has no
idea to react to the situation.
I would,'t be too sure, Ranma has gained a new mother before, but this
time there is no threat of Seppukuu hanging over his head, no strict
traditionalist mother to whom he must be a manly man. Urd on the other
hand has lived with and in magic her whole long life, is a very
untraditionalist, she's a norn godess for pete's sake, and knows a fair
portion of Ranma's heart. In a way, Urd is no longer the stranger
Nodoka was, even if they just met.
(2.) He has to worry about a new life
style. (3.) Then he need to worry about his reaction to his new
family.
Keiichi, Skuld, Belldandy, and Megumi are nowhere near as weird as the
people Ranma is used to living with
(4.) Then there is his past. (5.) Not to mention the little fiance
thing.
How will he feel about leaving Akane and Uc-chan?
How about Shampoo, or are Akane and Ukyou the only contenders?
(6.) I also have to deal
about his enemies.
Ranma will probably get a power boost, becoming a god tends to do that.
Ryoga will never be able to defeat him now. Unless in his anger and
jealousy a certain demoness teams up with him ....

P.S. What will Ranma be the God of?? Sex-changing martial artists?
