Questions on the Masaki family in Tenchi Muyo OVA

[steveoirish]

I need to find away to fit in Nodoka from Ranma1/2 into the Masaki family. And with the thrid OVA it's kinda complicated. I would like to keep the third ova if possible. I know that Nobiyouki is related to Yosho and he's about 200. meaning he was born in the late 1700s so i have room to work with but i need to have nodoka be a normal age with no knowledge of jurai but at least be a quarter jurai or if possible half so that Ranma is the same as Tenchi in heritage. Tenchi is 1/4 jurai right? I could have Nodoka be tenchi's older sister and she isn't at the point were she would be told of her heritage. I don't know. Anyway if you have ideas that be great. this is for my story Destiny Anew which will be a TM/Ranma/SM cross. first to chapters are out but short so read if you want.

Going by GXP it would seem that most members of the Masaki family are told about their heritage in their late teens or early twenties (and that the various members are all more than willing to tell). That would make it difficult for her not to know by now unless she ran away from home to get married before they could and never contacted her family afterwards.

This is an incomplete (since there are gaps of several generations) family/relationship tree for the characters of Tenchi Muyo which I got from Tenchi Muyo! Another Universe

Without a case of partial Amnesia, making her not remember how old she would have to be, I don't see how you could have her be old enough to really fit in.

well i want to place her as the middle child. I mean Tennyo is 80 and tenchi is 17-18 so there is space for another child. And I read E-types fic where she was made Genma's wife with magic so it is possible. I could use the clinched idea of having her fall in love with genma and Yosho forbid it so she runs away before it could be revealed to her. Have her spend a few years with Genma before ranma is born. Or maybe make her a grandchild of Tennyo I have considered this.

I was thinking more along the lines of her apparent physical maturity. Sure you could have Nodoka appear younger but I have trouble seeing her around during Tenchi's life keeping her maturing to the same level of maturity seen in the Ranma stories. Wait leaving all this still but isn't Yosho using some kind of disguise field that only his own mother managed to look through?

Yes. Yosho's true appearance is no older than his mid-thirties at most. Same goes for Tennyo. She's in her 80's but doesn't look much more than 5 years older than Tenchi and most of that is her hair colour. She uses a disguise when visiting her old school friends to hide her true appearance.

yes yosho does have the disquise field. I just wrote Yosho cause i'm lazy and join want to write Katsuhito. and who says Nodoka needs to be there when Tenchi is born? Ranma will not be the same age as Tenchi. He will be younger. when they first meet Tenchi will be 12-13 while Ranma is 6-7. Nodoka will leave when she is 17 while Kiyone is pregnant. So Nodoka will be 30 when the story starts and 24 when she had Ranma. That will mean that Tennyo will have left before she was born so Nodoka will not know she has a sister just like Tenchi didn't. Plus I think Tenchi was and exception because all that had happen to him. I mean Tennyo probably didn't have multiple suiters from space.
