Well, should I burn this and pretend I never thought of it?
Probably. ^_^

Seriously though, you're going to have to build a history for these new
characters that will fit in with the rest of the Ranma craziness.

It's a No Need For Tenchi Crossover.  Essentially, Ranma will join
Ryoko and Aeka as a potential candidate for Tenchi's eventual
matrimony.  Frankly, though, I don't think Ranma can compete.
Her distinct lack of enthusiasm for the prospect of marriage
to a guy tends to make it unlike, even though she could do
pretty well in the fiance brawls.

Uhhh, Ranma's pre-Cologne martial skill, while impressive, is not nearly
at the levels required to compete with the likes of Ryoko and Aeka. 
Think about it--no Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken training (therefore much
less speed), no Hiryuu Shoten Ha, no Moko Takabisha, what's left? 
Neko-ken, maybe, but first you need enough cats.  Ryo-oh-ki might be
enough, but I doubt it--remember it took a whole herd of cats--plus a
tiger--the first time, and Shampoo clinging to his face the second
time.  Now if Tenchi actually fell for Ranma--and she for him--that
would be a different story.
 

Then there's the problem that Ranma is a boy. He won't go for this at all.

No, Ranma's a girl...now.  She was bathing in hot springs.

So what's her problem with marrying a guy?
