This seems like a pretty interesting story so far.  I just had one 
comment to make.  I've seen a few other World of Darkness crossovers on 
this list.  I've noticed that in all of them, the anime characters tend 
to take a more passive role and get dominated by the WoD stuff.  I know 
a little anout VtM, and the fact is canonical Ranma is superhuman 
and would probably rip apart five of your average WoD vampires.  I'd 
envision him having a Celerity and Potence of about 6 each, and a 
willpower of about 9 or 10.  When you take his level of training into 
account, his fists should probably count as doing aggravated damage.  
And this is just at the end of the manga.  After an extra 20 years of 
training, you'd think it would take a high Gen vampire indeed to risk 
messing with him. Aw, I guess the truth is I've never really cared for 
the WoD, and I want to see Ranma kick some vampire butt.  How about it?

	I agree that Ranma's abilities are a bit beyond most WOD folk, If I 
had to make him a character he'd be an Akashik Brother (To match his 
versitility and creativity he'd need to be a mage).  To give it some 
background, Genma would have been another AK brother, only one who had gone 
on maybe a dozen seekings and only succeded at one of them.  However when 
Ranma awakened at age 5, Genma decided to try training him right away.
	Going by Merits and flaws, Ranma would definately have the strong 
will merit (Can spend willpower points and have a chance of not having to 
pay) the Spark of Life merit(Really strong vitality, Heals fast, Healing 
spells work extra well, downside is Vampires REALLY love the blood)  and the 
Strangeness flaw(Every time uses Magik, there's a chance that some sort of 
unusual event involving the sphere will occur)  Other stuff like the flaw 
overconfidence are prety obvious.
