NOTE: I do not mean this as a flame, although it may sound like one.

the DragonBard (dragonbard@hotmail.com) spoke:

An immortal SSJ2 FNS Nendo Kata god with LHW and the Senken from Nabiki 1/2 
(which allows for the control and binding of Elemental Rulers) plus the 
magic of the Crystal, and the sorcerous knowledge of Lina Inverse, Doctor 
Strange, and Dark Schneider.  Plus the ability to grant wishes, shape shift, 
and control the nekoken.  I can list at 'least' one fan fic where Ranma has 
any of these.  And by your own admission, this is just a 'fraction' of what 
she has avalible.
The phrase, bloody overkill comes to mind.
  I think you maybe have gone a 'little' overboard by including 'all' 
Ranma's.

<twitch> Just a "LITTLE" ???

By "all" Ranmas you MUST think, at least, of the following ones...

Ranma from "The Four Birds of Fire", "The Caller's Plight", "Lightbirds". It's the same Ranma for all three, evolving... in Lightbir
ds he gets to be an Esper... serious power there.
Ranma from "The Pegasus Cycle". Ability to use both Saidar and Saidin TOGETHER without the taint (because of Ki manipulation).
Ranma from "Waters under Earth".
Ranma from "Shampoo 1/2". Do you know what HE did in the final chapter? I don't want to think about it too much myself...
Ranma from "Destiny's Child" (though Senshi Ranma types may be excluded for obvious reasons...)
Ranma from "Way of the Ninjitsu" (in complement with other Ranmas... <shudder>)
All those Ranmas on the "Great Crossover Crisis"... maybe all of those are more than enough.

You know, someone packing all those abilities PLUS the power to back them up (Ginzuishou, at least)... I really am convinced Lavos (
Chrono Trigger), Sephiroth (FF7), Jon Irenicus (BG2), Kefka (FF6), the Three Prime Evils (Diablo 2) AND Mettallia together couldn't 
hope to beat him/her... they'd be, simply put... overpowered, overwitted, outmaneuvered, etc, etc...

If you want to write a fic in which the main character simply levels every opponent blind-folded and without even breaking a sweat,
fine, you're on the right track. If not, you'd better reconsider. You're, simply put, packing in a single character enough power to overthrow the Creator... or close enough.

I like it.

I have no idea myself. Depends totally on how the author will handle it, I suppose... Oh, and if he manages to bribe a villain stupid enough to actually oppose Usagi... I know I'd ally anyone with the ability of every Ranma *I* listed anytime.
