<snip neat idea>
I sort of wonder why i've never seen this done before, but it's a good
idea, and i hope someone does it. Here are some more suggestions for
Talents:
Kunou: What if Kunou had a power sort of like ComPewter, where for a short
time during and slightly after one of his laborously long winded and
egotistical speeches, _Everything_ is as he says it should be. ie, he is
the greatest swordsman of all time, the earth shakes at his mighty
footsteps, the very demons of hell tremble at the mention of his name,
etc, etc, etc...
Ryouga: Well, he already ignores most of the basic precepts of cartesian
geometry as it is, so what if he were actually born in Xanth, and his
Talent was powerful enough there that it brought him to Mundaina, and
continued to work at a weakened level outside. In Xanth, he might be able
to completely ignore the laws governing physical space at will...
Mousse: Hmm... actually, Mousse has a trick that's practically a talent
already. What if he gained the ablilty to pull _any_ non-magical item out
of his robes? Not just weapons, but really absurd stuff like a full
western shower assemblage, or a Bi-plane...
Shampoo: Hmm... well, if repeated talents are no biggie, then she might
share Millie the Ghost's talent, Sex Appeal...<may the demon XanTh have
mercy on ranma's soul...>
Akane: Uh... well, she might become Invincible when she's angry. Not just
to Ranma either, but to everyone. This would probably aggravate the other
fiancees to no end...
Kasumi: Hmm... perhaps the ability to cook delicious food with whatever is
immediately on hand, no matter how crude or primitive the raw materials
are? Or perhaps the ability to become _completely_ oblivious to the
outside world, so much so that nothing can effect her at all. The niceness
thing still works better though. Imagine the groups's first encounter
with a dragon. Everyone else is preparing to fight, while Kasumi just goes
up and pets the thing, instantly placating it...
Ranma: Hmm... I dunno. Perhaps Ranma would be able to copy any physical
action or skill that he sees. Or, he might be able to borrow any other
person's talent for a short time, after making physical contact long
enough to transfer the talent. ie, a good long hug, or something similar.
<ooh, pain...>
Well, that's all i can think of for now...
