Differing Powers - OR - The Teaser I Should Never Have Written

A short Ranma 1/2 - Wheel Of Time exercise in futility


Facts, Stupid Satements and Questions With No Answers in Randland...


- Would Mat try to put the moves on Onna-Ranma?

- Would Mat's luck protect him from her wrath?


Yes and his luck wouldn't protect him.  No power can protect you from an 
enraged anime female.

Depends on which universe.  In his universe, his ta'avereness and luck
would probably let him get away scot free.  In Ranma 1/2 land, he's paste
:)
 > > - Can Mat's fox medallion counter chi?


Sure, but then Ranma would just punch him.

Depends on what you do with the Chi and whether you consider it equivalent
to the One Power.
 

- How many Warders could Ranma take on at once?


An army.  Only about 7-10 could encircle him at once and for all their 
training, they still only have human speed and strength.  Considering 
the kind of damage he regularly shrugs off, glancing blows aren't going 
to cut it.

Yes, but if you attack a warder, the Aes Sedai can cut loose on you too,
and Ranma would have a hard time dealing with simply being wrapped in air
and beat up afterwards.

Sedai, Asha'man,

I bet the Neko-Ken could actually shred the One Power.

Naah.  It doesn't stop chi abilities, and if it doesn't stop that, it's
not likely to stop the one power.  Now, it MIGHT shred Cuendillar, though
:)
 

- How many Aiel can Ranma take on at once?


See above answer for Warders.

This assumes Ranma doesn't get jumped.  Aiel aren't Ranma level, but they
are good.  If they hurt him enough early on...


- How does a macho *male* martial artist survive in the White Tower?


He offends a lot of Aes Sedei.  (What exactly could they do to him if he 
absolutely refused to cooperate?)

Lots of horrible things.   

- Would Ranma stand in place long enough to be balefired in the first
place?


No, of course not :)


- Who's the strongest (and most dangerous, for that matter)?  A pissed-off
Nyneave or a pissed-off Akane?


Akane.  Nyneave doesn't have mallets.

Physcially strongest, Akane
But Nynaeve can do things to a person that Akane couldn't do in a million
years, like Balefire.  That makes Akane's mallets look pathetic.
 
- I could make a very serious story out of all this junk...

- I could make a very silly story out of all this junk...


It has to be a silly story.  Everyone trys to do a Wheel of Time 
crossover seriously and they all abandon their fics.  Why?  Because you 
can't compete with Jordan when it comes to seriousness.  You've got to 
get silly.  Come on, there's so much in WoT just begging to be made fun 
of.

Actually, I have a serious WOT crossover in progress. I'm just SLOW.
 
Alternate questions:

Will ranma willingly allow his male half to be gentled (if he can 
channel)?  Will this affect his female half?

I doubt Ranma would allow that anymore than any other male channeler.
 
Will the Dark One send his minions out on a quest for Hostess Twinkie 
Cakes?

Will Ranma take inspiration from Rand, be a man, and marry them all!?

No :)

Could the Breaking Point shatter power-forged metal?

Yes :)
