And here is this month’s questions posts. LOL.  And as always, these questions will be separated by the story they are about when applicable. Most of these are small, which is why I haven’t separated them into different posts.

  

First, two FILFy questions: 

1. I need a few Dark Wizard names. Four minimum for preference and I’d like them to be Greek, Egyptian, German or South African names. I’m wondering if there are any local myths or legend type characters any of you know which I could use as a template for new villains here. 

2. In the same vein, I need a teacher sort of character. A spirit or mythological entity connected to teaching who can join Harry and the others in laying the groundwork for the school Harry had proposed in the last chapter. I would like him to be a demi-human of some sort, but one not from HP or DxD canon. Perhaps someone from traditionally Slavic territories of the world? I would use a character originating from India, but perhaps not right away… I have plans there…

Horse questions: 

1. In the next chapter, I am reintroducing Anakin and Master Giiett. The question is, should I keep Anakin’s attraction to Padme? I’m just wondering if I should have that as a bit of background for him, or not.  I’ve already decided to not introduce Padme as a POV character at this point.

- Note, whatever the answer to this question, this Anakin, after several years as a youngling and now a little under half a year as a padawan – in other words a Anakin that wasn’t given preferential treatment – is going to be a very different young man than the one who faced the Clone wars – which are beginning a year (or more, hard to keep track of that kind of thing) 

2. This is more of an opinion question. What does everyone think of the space combat scenes I’ve done so far in this fic? Are they good enough as is, or should I go into more detail on the types of weapons, size of the ships, and so forth? With the war starting up in earnest next chapter this is a big question.

Semblance:

1. Since it’s now official that Ranma and Pyrrha are together, should Yang prepare to throw a hissy fit when next she sees Ranma, or just give it up for a bad go since she’s becoming more interested in Blake? 

2. I think the canon description of how the Grimm came to be is pure crap. Salem and Ozpin’s past are just blargh. So… what would everyone think of my creating my own origins story/background?

3. This could be an opinion question just because it really won’t matter much to the story overall but: Jaune/Ruby or Ruby/Weiss?  I am wondering if I have too many girl/girl relationships already going on in this fic… need to give the other guys some love y’know.

Game Changer:

1. Given his actions up to now, should Izumi Higa just be killed, or instead captured and turned over to the authorities after all of his Sekirei have been dealt with? I am struggling to choose whether or not this Ranma would be ruthless enough to kill him.

Semblance 1 be mature about it and go after Blake. 2 I love the way your mind works so whichever you want to do. 3 Ruby/Weiss never too much girl/girl.

vimesenthusiast

Would you revise that last statement if I said I would never show those two tiny gals in a lemon?

Filfy 2 Väinämöinen from Finnish folklore

Horse 1) I say: sure. It's another part of his backstory that expands his character, if only slightly. Plus, as you've said, this is a very different Anakin. So even if he's still holding a flame for her, I'd think that he'd go about 'wooing her' (if he even tries to) in a very different manner than what we got. You could actually give him some real romance for a change! Horse 2) I personally think that the only times you really need to focus on ship size difference is when they're of pretty significantly different sizes, like the Falcon and a Star Destroyer. Other than that, I think you do a pretty good job of space combat overall. Semblance 1) How about both? She does throw something of a temper-tantrum, but she also realizes that she's stared to already move on. Something that is only reinforced when Blake is able to calm her down after she's gotten her initial anger out and expressed fully. Semblance 2) Go ahead! You come up with some pretty awesome ideas already. I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with! Semblance 3) Heheh, how about something different? A triangle? Jaune wants Weiss, who's got a small crush on Ruby, who's starting to see Jaune in a new light. Something I don't really recall you ever trying to do before. You generally just focus more on harems than the more nuanced complexities that triangles, or even...'squares'?...tend to bring to the forefront in relationships.

Mayday

Semblance. Let Yang be more mature especially after hanging out with Ranma for ao long. And I feel like Jaune needs someone else outside of the RWBY JNPR group. And Ruby Weiss seems a bit more natural at this moment but not exactly perfect? Horse. Let Anakin move on. He has the potential to be the greatest Jedi ever if it wasn't his flaws holding him back. Let him show a bit of that potential and I feel like an obsessive crush from his childhood wouldn't be the best way to show his progress

Adam Ouellette

Nope, I read Ruby/Weiss Rated K-T stories too so while I am a huge fan of your lemons as they are some of the best written I've had the.........can't find a better word than pleasure but was trying to avoid the pun.......of reading I still would stand by my previous comment lol.

tibbs

FILFY how about a person from Atlantis? Acheron ? I will be honest I'm getting the idea from the dark Hunter series written by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Delphinous

for FILFY, you could go for Baba Yaga. she is historically sometimes a villain and sometimes an aid to a hero. she maight enjoy spending a few decades-centuries as a wise woman teacher type

Delphinous

and here's an idea for a template for a villain. from Egyptian mythology, Apep/Apophis constantly warred with the gods, was constantly killed, but always was resurrected and came back the next sunset. you could have some old high priest of Apep still running around, and having him be regularly resurrecting himself, so he can only be captured and contained, not killed.

FitzThrawn

In the same vain as Delphinous' suggestion, a villain along the lines of Heinrich Kemmler from the Dresden files, a necromancer who views death as an inconvenience.

Aaron Hardin

Apophis is an evil dragon in DxD cannon though, so need something else. From Africa Anansi the trickster spider god is good, if you want someone who is a villain that. At work with you if the circumstances are right.

Aaron Hardin

For Semblance, go off cannon, frankly I view everything after season 2 as semi cannon as it’s clear the death of Monty Caused a change in direction, what with almost immediately becoming a darker story, yes the story could have gotten there naturally but the tone of the series completely changed. For horse having Anakin move on would be unique, it would be interesting to see how Palpatine tries to manipulate Anakin without the cracks caused by attachment outside of the order as a glaring hole to prod.

Delphinous

another idea, erra is an ancient mesopotamia god of chaos, pestilence, and carnage

Alejandro Kalansky

Semblance: 1 give it up for a bad go since she’s becoming more interested in Blake 2 with your sucsess in creating history and backstory: you should create 3 Ruby/Weiss

Narsil

For FILFy I don't have any wizard names, but for the mythological entity/spirit teacher, why not go with Confucius? There are temples of Confucius throughout the Far East, including Japan, and the rituals include sacrifices to his spirit. In Japan, I'd think he would be considered a powerful kami. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Confucius

Wesley

Regarding the teacher/spirit/thing: from Celtic lore, Scathach has a sister named Aife, who went out into the world to teach strapping young men martial, marital, and runic arts. Though, Scathach IS also famed for having taught Cu Chullainn spearman’s hip and runic magic. So either of those could work as a teacher, though I think that Aife would work better as a teacher for classes than Scathach, as Scathach only ever taught one student at a time. And I’m not sure how the denizens of DxD would feel about being taught be a woman with the title of Godslayer, or Scathach’s own feelings about leaving the Shadow Lands where she is both Queen and Guard against monsters and undead leaving. Regarding Horse: the predilection towards attraction, at least, should still be there in Anakin. He may go about his attempts at courtship in a vastly different manner, but I don not think it would be out of his base character for him to try. Regarding Semblance: the story. I want you to take the story you have crafted, AND RULE IT WITH A RUBBER FIST! It is YOURS. And I want to see what an expert at world building can do with Salem and Ozpin’s mutual background. Change it, keep it, replace it entirely: I want to see what YOU do with it. I was personally not satisfied with the explanation for the Grimm in Rwby, but if you can make it work then I will keep reading.

Wai-kwong Wong

Regarding Anakin in Horse - I think he should have gotten over his initial infatuation with Padme.

Wai-kwong Wong

regarding semblance, I think you should have Yang give it up for bad as she is moving on. as for 2 yeah go ahead and make your own origin for GRIM.

Kariston Draconis

Horse: Keep Anakin's attraction to Padme, for one simple reason: Anakin + Padme = Luke & Leia. And you need Luke to be there because he, not Anakin, was always the Chosen One. As for space combat, unless it adds to the plot, you don't need to go into too much details of the ships. Semblance: First off, let me just say Ranma/Pyrrha FTW! As for Yang, well, she's never really struck me as the type to throw a hissy fit over something like a guy she's maybe kinda/sorta interested in getting together with another girl, especially the way you've portrayed her and her feelings towards Ranma. So yeah, just give it up for a bad go, and focus on her attraction to Blake. As for Ruby, well, White Rose all the way! I'm not really sure how two is too many girl/girl relationships, unless Beni/Glynda is also a thing and not just a one-sided crush. I do feel kinda bad for Jaune though, he's now the only member of Team Awesome without an SO, but them's the breaks I guess. Unless he's into older women... Game Changer: With Higa, part of me wants to say just kill him and leave his body hanging in a public place as a warning to all who would mess with Ranma's family, but so often in these kind of stories the bad guys either get killed or "learn the error of their ways". It'd be a refreshing change for them to actually face the legal repercussions of their actions for once.

FILFY I am REALLY not good with names sooooo....Yeah....Probably not the best person for 1) lol. 2) Only one I can really think of at the moment would be Chiron. He's a centaur in Greek mythology and is a fairly famous teacherish figure that I think taught Achilles. SEMBLANCE 2) I've mostly done wiki dives on this subject (PYRRHA LIVES!!!) but yeah...I'm not a huge fan of Evil God did it because Salem pissed him off. Please feel free to change the origin. Please do. 3) I understand Juane gets better in later seasons but where I left off he still hadn't grown remotely worthy of the girls. Weiss, eh, maybe mostly cause I'm not a huge fan of Weiss. But definitely not Ruby! GC 1) I'm not caught up with this story so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm ALWAYS of the opinion that this asshole deserves to be shanked in the back, then in the front, then disemboweled, and finally beheaded for good measure. Nobody hurts Uzume and Chiho without serious consequences!

Stephen D Johnson

Horse: no more detail on the space battles, they're fine as is. I'd like to see Anakin with another Jedi, personally. Someone that understands his struggles. A Bastila to his Revan

Razgriz0x

Filfy: Sorry, no ideas here from me. Horse: I guess if it's toned down from obsession to mild attraction that would be fine... as long as it doesn't lead to whine/emo/obsessed Anakin going all yandere because sempai doesn't notice him. Semblance: Yang can maybe be a little upset, butis willing to admit that her attraction was mostly physical and then be supportive of Ranma's choice. Haven't seen the series past season 5 so any changes to origin of grimm is fine by me. Game Changer: Higa must pay... maybe be beaten to within an inch of his life first but still see his ass in court and jail

doubledamn

FILFy will be the focus of the questions today, for me at least. And I think I found one that ticks all the boxes for the teacher role. Slavic? Yes. Demihuman? Yes. Teacher? Kinda. Knowledge/wisdom. *Gamayun* is a prophetic bird of Slavic folklore. It is a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.] She is said to spread divine messages and prophecies, as she knows everything of all creation, gods, heroes, and man. The Gamayun is normally depicted as a large bird with a woman's head. As for the evil wizard names... well, I couldn't really find much based on myths, legends or such, so here's a collection of names run through GoogleTranslate. South African: Giftige (venomous), Verraad (betrayal), Towenaar (sorcerer), Bedrieg (deceive) Greek: Talaiporía (suffering), Apostátis (turncoat), Opadós (oathbreaker), lýpi (sorrow) German: Böseblut (evil blood), Verdorben (corrupted), Bösartig (vicious), Hexen (witch) Egyptian: Aamal (black magic), 'atal (murder), Dahha (sacrifice), Yihgiz (confine/imprison)

Canadian Tick

For Horse, I'd be pretty happy to see Anakin move past his crush/obsession with Padme. The snippets we see now and again and the dynamic he has with Windu make me happy; jealousy from him at this stage, while understandable, would feel to me like a step backwards. Semblance: I've never liked the world-building for that show at all; having you do your own thing would please me greatly.

JustDK

Horse, would love to see Anakin move on. Doesn't mean he can't be attracted to her or still think highly of her, but definitely move on. To many stories use the Anakin and Padme storyline and it gets boring especially when Anakin should theoretically be different.

Pyros51

Welp... someone had to say it! :P. That said, a Ruby/Weiss/Jaune pairing with Ruby as the cause could be hilarious, just from how much it makes Qrow drink and the ‘speculation’ that generally goes on regarding the Summer/Raven/Tai relationship.

Niva

I would like to answer the Ranma questions. Horse: 1. I think the canon Anakin was an asshole. He broke the codex so many times and he never was punished for this. So I would prefer an Anakin who thinks about his actions and is a bit more passive. The Padme/Anakin lover story was in my opinion badly written. They didn´t see each other for years and in the next second boom love is every where. Another point is like you said, this Anakin is younger than the canon one and shouldn´t have so many hormones yet.^^ 2. I liked the space battles you´ve written so far. Each one had a great description of weapons and combat. Now that the CW has started the ship classes on both sides will be most of the time the same. So you could use this as a way to cut the ship and weapon description a bit shorter and focus more on the actual combat. Some of the CW space fights were great and I would live to see your version of them. Semblence: 1. I liked the dynamic between Ranma and Yang from the start. Now that Phyrra "won" the Ranma-bowl does she really has to give up? I know you planed a single relationship this time for Ranma, but perhaps you could use Yang as a returning lover. She could do a Kuno with some extra rules. Another option could be that she gives up, but still flirts with him from time to time. My preference is a dual relationship with Yang and Pyrrha, but hey a man can dream. 2. The canon history about Salam and Ozpin is to much Hollywood. So I would like to see your idea of a backround. Make is a bit more darker and perhaps add a massacere her and there. 3. Go with the flow and see where it takes you. Both ships are nice and could be used for funny dialogs. Gamechanger: 1. Higa is an asshole and he deserves a punishment, but death is to good for him. So why not cripple him and then turn him over.

Diego D'Andrea

For FILTHy for the teacher I would propose you Virgil of the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, it is not really what you are looking for, it is more a guide than a teacher. For Gamer Changer: Ranma trying to catch him, but Akitsu eliminating him, when Higa tries to attack Ranma behind, in a dishonorable way.

Doraemax

FILFy: 1. How about Rasputin? As cliche as that name is, you can create your own dark wizard backstory for that name. Greek name...maybe Kratos? 2. Sorry, no one came to mind. Horse 1. Yes to Anakin and Padme. Like someone said above. They need to get it on for Leia and Luke. haha Semblance 1. Yang is cool with it. She seems the type. 2. your backstory please 3. What about Jaune/ Weiss. I think he definitely got the chance here. RWBY is still too young anyway. Game Changer 1. He should pay for his crimes, right?

NerdLord2nd

Only one i got responses for is Semblance. 2. defiantly make your own back story it is defiantly one of the weaker parts of the show. 3. as for pairing question while i may be biased, dedicated Lancaster fan here, I still think the Ruby of this story fits better with Jaune then weiss personality wise, especially without the whole cheated his way thing hanging over his head in this story

Mattysc42

Semblance: 1) acceptance, after a few to many strawberry sunrises and a brawl. Seems likely with Yang’s character to me. 2) yes to a new Grimm backstory 3) Jaune x Weiss IMO. Accg: Higa must die, . (<<< that period isn’t silent). Ranma’s probably ruthless enough to do it in this story, but Akitsu seems like the better character to off him IMO.

Christophe Kamphaus

FILFy 2. I thought of Rossweisse although she is DxD canon Game Changer: Given that in canon Ranma kills Saffron to protect Akane, I think it's in character for him to kill if pushed hard enough. Now whether he would be capable of premeditated murder is another question. I think it would make for interesting character development to have Ranma kill Higa and have to struggle with it. Maybe a cool quote of Higas that would justify killing him during the showdown would be "I will never stop coming for you and yours"

Steven Stirling

FLFY 2 Orunmila Semblance 2 I say go for it. 3 Ruby and June Game changer Are there any authorities that would punish him?

Delphinous

i found some other ideas for FILFY from geek mythos: atlas, the guy who holds the heavens, was also skilled in philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy, and maybe created astronomy. an alternate myth from greece, according to plato, is that the first king of atlantis was also named atlas, and this atlas was the son of Poseidon and a mortal named cleito. and also the centaur Chiron from Oriental mythology: Kwan Yin, was a mortal who killed by her father, went to hell, made the king of hell so angry with her that he resurrected her and made her immortal, then she gained spiritual insights form buddha. and finaly, the best candidate, is Fushi. Fushi was one of 10 legendary kings who lived among the first people and taught them the rules of civilization in ~3000 BC. he is depicted as being a beloved teacher who taught survival skills including how to use fire, how to cook, how to right, but also hunting, fishing, and fortunetelling.

Readm

Horse I do think you should still have Anakin attracted to Padme obsession is one of the greatest facets of his character. Even with a much better role model than in cannon I still feel like that’s a basic part of him even if it’s less intense than in Canon I’ve actually really liked the space fights and I personally think too many details would make it boring Semblance I think that Yang would throw a hissy fit just for the whole reaction thing but then I think she would move on I’m OK with you making up your own origin as long as you can incorporate some of the stuff from the original and actually make it good Jaune Ruby it’s meant to be I think they would be super cute together Game Changer Just based off of what you have shown of this ranma so far I don’t think Higa as done anything bad enough to push ranma over the edge. Though I do think that you’re Ranma would be willing to kill if a reason was given maybe if he personally witness she get doing something monstrous or if he had targeted one of his non martial art friends like nabiki. Or maybe if miya told him to he might be willing to do it as well. Question a different vein what is Ranma gonna do with the fact that he’s missing a finger and an ear is he gonna get those back or are they gone.

Thomas Edwards

For some reason my original response has disappeared so apologies if this double posts. FILFy: Can't help here I'm afraid Horse: 1) Will be interesting to see Tholmes return, especially with this portrayal of Quinlan Vos. Personally I would rather Anakin have a minor attraction but realise that it was more a crush, that the order and his teachers etc. have caused such an impact on him that he has changed from who was for the better. The attraction and obsession aspect is already present in Magic, so would rather see him moving onto someone else in this fic. Personally,I never really liked the way their romance was portrayed in the films, it wasn't surprising the number of fics that have Anakin/Sidious using the force on Padme as a plot mechanic. Given the Chaos of Ranma previously and in the future I just can't see much of the Chosen One prophecy being in effect anymore. 2) I've enjoyed your Spacebattles so far there is enough detail already, however maybe add some more detail when an important new ship is introduced( e.g. a new ship of the line for the war, or a new Mandalorian/Other ship joining Ranma and crew. Semblance: 1) Maybe a small hissy fit but I can't see Yang being too bothered by it given her carefree attitude and her pursuit of Blake. 2) Definitely, looking forward to your version of events given your past history and worldbuilding when it comes to writing. 3) Ruby/Weiss, I can't see your version of Jaune and the improvements he has made going after Ruby unless she matures somewhat. Game Changer: I can't see Ranma straight up killing him at this point but definitely beating him to within an inch of his life then handing him over to the government to take all his money and company etc. seems more fitting than a quick death to me.

Hiryo

Horse: 1.) Nope, unless you want jealous drama sessions, since Padme is still interested in Ranma. 2.) I like both. As a counter-question: How essential and important is space-combat to you? If important then make it bigger (in every sense) and more details, (describe how atmosphere vents, energy distribution, cable connection in-between the ships, released air pressure veers someone off-course, screaming navigational robots when something gets on their ship, R2D2 beepings, etc…..) Semblance: 1.) For how ‘good sport’ Yang is in your story, I do not believe in her throwing a hissy fit or giving up. Maybe at the end of the story, but not for a long time, she will at least try ‘to butter up’ Pyrrha, for her to join or get Ranma back nonetheless. 2.) Create a new story/background. If you’re able to make it so that with your story/background one could mistake it for the original story/background but in truth it is something else, the better it would be IMHO. 3.) RubyXWeiss, for the ‘end-of-the-world-scenario’ plenty of things are thrown out of whack anyway. Game Changer: 1.) This story Ranma is not ruthless enough without reason but more a final solution oriented one. If Ranma suspects, the idiot escapes or continues from prison, dead it is.

MinotaurKing

Horse: 1. Nah, I think it would showcase his growth/change better to not have the crush. 2. I think you have done a fine job with them so far though I definitely wouldn't say no to having more details lol.

MinotaurKing

Semblance: 1. I don't think she would throw a hissy fit she just seems a bit to freewheeling to get upset about it. 2. Dear god please yes, their cannon back story is a mess and a half. 3 I'd say Ruby/Weiss as Jaune hasn't shown any interest at all it seems in the opposite sex, and the girls have just been naturally leaning that way.

MinotaurKing

AGGC: I don't see this Ranma being quite ruthless enough to outright kill Higa, although the other cast members are a different story entirely.

vimesenthusiast

Exactly. Ranma killing in battle against an opponent like Karasuba, that's one thing. Killing a non-powered, non-martial artist? That's another. Glad to see it isn't just me who thinks that.

vimesenthusiast

on 2, LOL. That does seem to be the consensus. Roosterteeth did that just wrong. As for 3, um... Jaune has sort of shown interest in Weiss and in Ruby - he even stood up to her father when they were having Game Time. Not a lot, but he's still darned shy and very self-effacing around girls, thanks to the sheer number of sisters he's got.

vimesenthusiast

1. Padme in this story was never interested in Ranma - except possibly like a girl would a sexy model in a magazine. They never really talked much. A BIG difference between Horse and Magic is Padme really isn't a character. 2. Space combat is essential. Not to me, or particularly what happens to Ranma, but to the Clone Wars/SW in general. One aspect I've loathed is the space combat in the movies has left much to be desired. But I will be using space combat a lot in the future, to show the shape of the war both directly around Ranma and co. and as a whole, hence my wondering. Oh, and R2D2 beepings are not space combat. George Lucas does not understand warfare at all, let alone space combat. 1. I can see Yang trying to see if Pyrrha would be open to sharing, but I do not know if she would be able to do that and still keep on showing interest in Blake. And Pyrrha would certainly not be interested in that kind of thing. I see her as being very traditional, and there is no in-canon room for multi-relationships. 2. yeah, that seems to be the consensus. But let's test your geek knowledge: I'm thinking of taking a page from Anne Mcaffery for the real origin of the Grimm... 3. I'm honestly thinking at this point to just let the chips fall where they may romance-wise. It seems to work out for the best when I do. 1. Thanks for fully reading the question. I still don't know if he would kill him even then, but he might tell Miya and she certainly would be ruthless enough LOL.

vimesenthusiast

1. There will be a major impact on Anakin. He is going to be a very different soul. For one thing, he will have been forced more into the traditional Jedi training, and then introduced to Giiett, and his own style. He'll still have an ego, and still... let's call it a yearning for love? But I think it will be interesting to see if I can write it out as him realizing that is what he has instead of a burning love for a single individual. And actually there was no chosen one prophecy - it was a Sith creation. So was Anakin as a vergence. 2. Yes, that was one of the points that went into the question - with the war coming up there will be several new ships, and old ships shown in combat for the first time. So yeah, I'll do that. 1. Yes, her pursuit of Blake has sort of crept up on Yang. I think I may need to put in an introspective moment for her in the next chapter, which is going to be interesting... 2. This seems to be a solid opinion lol. 3. Hmmm, and here I thought I had done a decent job of showing some basic chemistry there.

vimesenthusiast

It is one of the greatest facets, but it is also a flaw - I do not see the A/P romance as a real romance. It's one of those love at first sight things that so very rarely are built upon actual love. I was interested to see what people thought of them since with the wars starting up, space battles will be how I show what's going on elsewhere for the most part. Ah... you mean she'd want to create a bit of drama and such? Hmm... yeah, I can see that. Then move on after a bit in the same conversation because drama is only fun in small lots. Yes, thank you - so many people saying Ruby/Weiss makes me sad since I thought I'd done a decent job of showing some basic interest and compatibly between R/J. Witnessing something monstrous, maybe? This Ranma isn't as ruthless as, say, MW, or WW or even the Herd in Space Ranma. If he targeted someone else with his schemes or caught an innocent up in them, that would be a different story, you're right about that. Miya though, she's a different animal altogether. As for the ear and finger, um, no I think they're gone for good. Although if memory serves, it's only the tip of his ear... checked. Yep, just the tip. His missing pinky, well, that's a small price to pay after fighting someone like Karasuba. And coming so close to winning too.

vimesenthusiast

But Atlas was a Titan, and as such he would have been caged and then killed by the Greek Gods before most of them, in turn, were overcome by Yahweh. I haven't heard that alternate tale before. Kwan Yin - now that is an interesting idea. But I would probably hold off on introducing her for when I introduce the Hindu/Buddhists line. Unless...hmm... a Jiang Shi perhaps? but no. I would rather have her having fled China to India. Yes, could connect her in later. Fushi - hmmm. His soul could do for something else I'm planning, but not a teacher.

vimesenthusiast

Orunmilla - this would better work for a character introduced once to create a new side quest rather than a permanent background character. Game Changer - that is indeed a very pertinent question, since the government has let MBI buy out the city, and doesn't have enough control, and is rife with corruption in any event.

vimesenthusiast

Rossweisse will show up after the peace talks and yes, will be a teacher. Let me state now she won't be joining the harem though. I am not arguing that Ranma could kill, true. But even if Higa said something like that, Ranma would either laugh it off, or just cripple him instead. This Ranma wouldn't be able to kill outside of combat, and Higa is about as much threat to him - as a three-year-old child. If however Higa had proven willing to attack his loved ones - Nabiki or her family - in a physcial manner, than maybe Ranma would react equally so.

vimesenthusiast

LOL. Yeah, she'd make Ranma buy her lots of drinks and create lots of drama then fight Pyrrha and go back home to have Blake take care of her owwies. That's the point - I don't see Ranma as ruthless enough to do that. Akitsu... maybe? Miya would be more probable.

Thomas Edwards

1. Looking forward to reading it then. I couldn't remember whether that was just fanon or not so thought I'd play on the safe side of things lol. Semblance: 2. Glad to hear it, taking an idea from the Thread will no doubt be interesting. 3. You have done a good job of showing the possibility and I definitely could see them together in the future just not right now, I may need to reread things, but from what I can remember Jaune hasn't really seen the serious side of Ruby so I can see him fighting with his feelings a bit to start with. Wheras I can see Ruby and Weiss together quite easily given their interactions. That and I'm interested in seeing someone new for Jaune since I've mostly seen him with Ruby, Weiss or Pyrrha lol. I remember reading an interesting oneshot Jaune/Coco recently that had a more jaded Jaune being brought out of his shell by her.

Readm

I also agree that anakin padme isn't really true love that's why I use the word obsession

Hiryo

Sadly not geeky enough. This Ranma for sure would kill him if he's still a danger to people, which would die etc....

vimesenthusiast

Haven’t watched it since season 2 - learned they were going to go in a more serious direction went nope and was proven correct in season 3 according to everyone I’ve asked

Ooh the gamayun can work for something else - getting Harry a teacher who can really walk him through his god type abilities!! Awesome. As for the names, might use them as titles or descriptions though that isn’t set in stone.

Lol, I only knew it thanks to the works of Bobmin. Given the shattered moon and a number of other facts about Remnant there is quite a lot there to work with that can make a better origin than canon :)

i found another interesting suggestion for FILFY: Väinämöinen he's a sort of primordial finnish demi-god and known as "an extraordinary shaman who was a master of magic songs and incantations, and as the “eternal sage,” an immortal wise man"

Semblance: 1) Just have her go after Blake. Drama isn't fun or entertaining -_-. 2) Go nuts...which is meaningless for me to say. This is a rare case where my only exposure to the source material is through fanfiction. I'd never know if you changed it. 3) Ruby/Weiss. While I may not have that much exposure to cannon versions, even I know the constitute a ridiculously cute natural pair... Game Changer: 1) Killed. If Ranma isn't ruthless enough, several of the others most certainly are. Uzume would almost certainly kill him gleefully, the moment he was vulnerable. Ranma isn't the only player in this drama...

Synner

For FILFy 2: Michael Scot. He was both a teacher and supposedly a wizard, as well as an Alchemist, Astrologist and spent his free time being super awesome (according to wiki). Best part is he is not only a real person, but was mentioned in Dante's Divine Comedy. If you are really set on a slavic character though, repurposing some of Rasputin's history may be best.

meh, I wasn't thinking drama, I was thinking public histrionics and guilting him into letting her have a chance to make it a threesome. You're missing nothing. Absolutely nothing. they are cute, yes but so could Ruby/Jaune This seems to be a consensus. Although I would say Miya would be the one to remove him.

hmm... Okay, that might be useful down the line. But I have plans for alchemy to be introduced later on for a specific purpose - and it ain't eternal life or turning lead into gold. Oh, no. This is something far more fundamental...hohoho...

2. A rather solid consensus there. 3. Glad to see someone laying it on the line for Lancaster. Regardless, it will be a while of in fic time before it becomes an issue, and I will have time to show compatibility in both ways some more.

GC - yes Higa should pay, but how? Who would hold him accountable? Ranma could break him in half but isn't ruthless enough, and the government has basically given MBI carte blanch when it comes to the Sekirei. Semblance 3. Meh, not really? Weiss isn't into him and they haven't had many interactions. And yeah, sorry the names were a little too cliche. I might set up an immortal mage who took the guise of Rasputin to hurry the downfall of the Russian Tsars but that's about it.
