Greetings, I have no intention of doing anything with these
quick concepts, feel free to use, mock, fold spindle or mutilate these
quick thoughts however you wish.
Ranma
1 Ranma starts having bizarre dreams drawing him to a volcanic island.
It turns out that there's a dragon's egg hidden there, and its soul is
"Incubating" in Ranma. That is to say, Dragons lay eggs, however the
souls of the unborn dragons need to develop within other beings, sort
of acting as passengers and growing as their host grows. Ranma has had
his for a while and has grown in ability to the point where the soul is
ready to return to its body. Which means that Ranma has to return it.
2 Alternate Universe, When Ranma and Genma get to Jusenkyo the guide
tells them that the training ground is closed. He takes them up a
cliff to reveal why; it is a rare astrological conjunction, which
triggers all the pools to flood creating a lake filling the valley.
The guide explains that it will be a few days before the lake drains
and a few months before the springs stabilize. Ranma however hears
something from the lake, walks too close to the edge and falls in. The
revelation is the true origin of Jusenkyo, it was once the lake where a
dragon drowned. The dragon's power infused the lake and the springs
that fed it, and when the lake dried up remnants of the dragon's
shapechanging power reacted to form the curses. On that rare day of
amplified mystic energy though, the original like reformed and if
anyone who was sufficiently compatible fell in, they were given the
form of a dragon. Enter Ranma.
3 Ranma gets tired of being so afraid of cats, and resorts to reading
through a book on phobias. Systematic desensitization is easy enough
for him to understand, so he invents a treatment based on it. First he
throws together the most sedate relaxing kata he can imagine. He puts
blurred pictures of cats on the Dojo walls, and performs the Kata until
he can do it to full relaxation. Then he replaces the pictures with
sharp cat images, then adds tape recordings of cats yowling, working
his way up to where he can stay relaxed with a dozen cats loose in the
Dojo with him. After a week or two he's lost his fear but has started
having vivid dreams of being a cat. Then in a big fight where he
wishes he could still use the Nekoken, he gets strong flashbacks of the
dream, and figures out that he could voluntarily enter the Nekoken
state by focusing his mind on the dreams.
4 Another supreme Ranma type alternate, this one would involve Ranma
being thrown backward in time 13000 years, landing in an alchemists lab
in Egypt, and dumping an incomplete preservation potion over himself.
The interactions of potion and curse leave Ranma "Preserved", he
doesn't age, his wounds repair themselves fast, and his physical
condition never improves or deteriorates. Which means that as Ranma
enters the world of the oldest martial arts, including the original
Nekoken, he's forced to rely on his capacity for learning and
innovation. After a fair time period the alchemists society he crash
landed at figures out a way to precisely time a magic potion to put him
into hibernation so he will wake right after he fell through the time
warp.
Tenchi
1 Tenchi is the one who gets captured this time, and Ryoko has to go
after him and tap her full capability to save him. (Basically a fict
built around a situation where Ryoko would actually use her full powers
which have been hinted at but never shown in the Anime.)
Pretty Sammy:
1 Rumia's little brother feels sorry for Michelle, and modifies her
transformation spell so that each time she transforms to and from Pixy
Misa, she keeps a little more of Misa's vitality. Naturally both Misa
and Michelle start getting more than what was planed from each other.
2 The appearance of Tokimi's analog. Perhaps Earth and Juraihelm were
originally the same place, however for unknown reasons they split into
different worlds. In the Original world Tokimi was a queen with her
two sisters Washu and Tsunami, however during the split her sisters
both became part of the newly formed worlds, with their avatars
constantly reincarnating themselves through different lives. Tokimi
however remained in the few places between where the separation didn't
happen, and she periodically appears in one or the other world to
perform mysterious plots that no one else understands.
El-Hazard:
1 Miz gets upset about Fujisawa repeatedly going mountain climbing when
she's trying to schedule a wedding with him, so she decides their going
to climb a mountain together, and she wouln't take no for an answer.
They climb one of the less challenging ones Fujisawa had his eye on,
and manage to reach the summit after a long day of hard work by both of
them. Then they manage to get the camp set up just in time to sit down
and watch the sunset together.
2 Lemon concept: Makoto and Iffurita assuming that Makoto's power would
be semi active the whole time allowing both of them to feel the
sensations of the other.
Slayers:
1 Partially inspired by some of the debates about the chest sizes of
various anime characters. Idea: Lina and Gaury are pursuing a
fugitive who among other skills is a master of the magical equivalent
of cosmetic surgery. He wants to distract them so he can get away, but
he doesn't want to risk hurting them without knowing it would finish
the job. (If their annoyed they'll give up sooner than if they want
revenge.) So he hits Lina with a breast enhancement spell. How would
Lina react to suddenly being better built than Naga? How would
everyone react to her differently?
Urusei Yatsura:
1 Coyote arrives in town. (Despite being a protector, his practical
joking tendency turns out to periodically turn everyone he protects
against him. When this happens he generally takes a leisurely trip
around the world, and by the time he gets back the people who got so
mad at him are usually praying for him to return and deal with some
problem they can't understand how to handle.) His behavior causes
people meeting him to initially mistake him for Ataru, so he decides to
visit him and ends up masquerading as his cousin.
2 Lemon idea: Sakura receives a call from a shrine that Tomobiki high
had visited several weeks ago. It turns out that while the shrine
discovered that one of the evil spirit containment vessels had broken
at the time and they suspected the spirit might have possessed one of
the students. (They only just discovered the loss because it was a
fairly low powered spirit) Sakura's investigation quickly spots it
inhabiting Ataru, who has no problems doing whatever Sakura asks of
him. (Except not trying to grope her) What no one had planned on is
the fact that the evil spirit was a minor spirit of lust and lechery,
and possessing the most lecherous being in the universe proved to have
complications. When Sakura tried driving the demon out, she triggered
an enormous release of lust energy from Ataru, sort of like an N2 sex
bomb.
Anime Non anime xovers.
A crossover between Ranma and the movie Specter:
In actuality there's not that much for a basis except the scene between
Sebastion and Ham at the beginning
HAM: I'm here because I got you're telegram, you did send it didn't
you?
Takes out telegram.
HAM: "I need you" Victor Sebastion. Three words and I race halfway
across the country and why? Because I know your ego. For you to admit
you need anyone must mean your in desperate trouble.
Battlestar Galactica:
1 A friend of mine once commented that while the original show was ok,
when they did the earth 1980 storyline it really took a nosedive.
Perhaps have them arrive at a different earth. A more straightforward
version would mix in Bublegum crisis or another near future one, but
how about a Galactica Slayers xover. The Galactica reaches earth, only
to discover that the lost tribe took a very different turn a long time
back and instead of developing advanced technology developed magic.
Devil Hunter Yohko, Buffy the vampire slayer: Buffy is given the
opportunity to go to Japan, and meets Yohko. Lucky thing too, since a
group of vampires have arrived as well and Yohko has trouble handling
them. (Yes Vampires are less powerful than the demon's Yohko fights,
just remember that, unlike the demon's she fought they live here on
earth and so have the time to plan and prepare themselves so as to make
the most of their strengths.) The leader is the only vampire slayer to
ever become a vampire, and no vampire has ever tried it again because
she's as insane as she is powerful. Recently though she has had help
from a lesser demon who stabilized her mind, now that she's just
emotionally unstable rather then jumping from delusion to delusion
she's contemplating a ritual to become dramatically stronger which
requires the blood of the active Devil Hunter.
Anime Marvel xovers.
Tenchi and Silver Surfer:
Basically beginning with the assumption that the two continuums are
separate, this story starts in Marvel where Galactus summons his
ex-herald to him because. Basically Galactus has long been aware that
his appetite has slowly grown over the millennia, and despite constant
study has not been able to stop it. Now however he has acquired a clue
about Washu's existence, and wants his first herald to track her down
and get her help in figuring out how to overcome the problem of his
growing hunger.
SpiderMan and Bublegum Crisis:
1 Sylia and Makie attending a symposium to see about new advances in
Boomer Technology. There is however a demonstration of Neogenics, and
an accidentally irradiated spider managed to bite Makie. He later
started researching Neogenics and Spiders online, and he discovers work
being done on synthetic spider silk, and learned about a super strong
mixture which was flawed by the fact that it evaporated.
2 Nene's mother is actually the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane.
3 A container holding Venom's symbiot is smuggled into Tokyo, only to
break in a ADP raid.
Alternative to spring of drowned hero fict:
Instead of Ranma falling into the spring where the Mandarin drowned
Captain America, he falls into the spring where Dr. Doom was drowned.
The combination of egos would be a frightening thing, but forget about
inventing the concept of advanced robots after a few days of being
board in science class. Think rather about the result of combining
Ranma's ability to learn martial art techniques incredibly fast and
well and combine it with Doom's genius. And then pray the Mandarin has
invested in a good health insurance policy.
Anime WOD xovers
1 Who in Ranma corresponds best to what?
Akane- I'd say an Ahron of the Children of Gaia. Think about it.
She's full of rage, but when she's not acting on that rage she's kind,
she's forgiving, she's compassionate and trusting.
Ranma- Akashik Brother.
Genma- An Akashik Brother, though he'd be one who's Arete never rose
past 2 despite years of training and dozens of seekings. When Ranma
awoke at the age of five, he initiated his plan to start the long
training trip. He didn't understand magic very well, but he believed
he could teach his son.
Ryouga- Well, there's lots of possibilities, (a good thing about White
Wolf's games is the fact that there's so much you can do with a little
creativity). A Brujah vampire is obvious, likewise an Ahroun get of
Fenris or an Eshu or Redcap from Changeling. (Though if he's a cursed
Dauntain, no then Ranma would have to be a changeling and Ryouga would
have to be dedicated to killing him rather than just fighting and
defeating him.)
The Kuno's are probably either Marauders or Silver fangs who're REALLY
exhibiting the effects of inbreeding.
2 Tenchi WOD:WtA: Tenchi's paternal grandmother shows up at the
shrine, A real wild old lady in more ways than one, she and Katsuhito
don't get along at all. Eventual revelations show that she's a
werewolf, also that Tsunami had been subtly manipulating each
generation of the royal Jurai family to create a champion with the
power of the lighthawk wings, but when Yosho's daughter married
Noboyuki she was still expecting it to take five to six more
generations. However something unusual about Noboyuki's
bloodline(Werewolf kinfolk) enabled her to complete her goal with
Tenchi. He could as a result wield the lighthawk wings, but when that
ability awoke within him, his Garou bloodline and ancestral Rage also
began to awaken.
Sailor Moon WOD(Sort of) Instead of a direct crossover, contemplate a
Mage scenario involving two Marauders who's quiet is based on the
Sailor Moon animated series.
