Fate frowned as she was speaking to Sailor Pluto. She glanced at the written request and approval that came with it from her superiors. This was something she vapidly disliked.

The real goal here in this fic is to try and break the usual mold that Ranma gets pen Ranma gets fuku. There IS a plot relivent point here that was mentioned Ranma cannot become Charon until Pluto steps down. This makes Ranma able to be Sailor Charon without being Sailor Charon. Again there IS a future plot reason for this.

2. I will make them PISSED. But I will drag out the entire part where Setsuna is trying to keep from running off to get clothes (and admit that this is not going to be an easy fix) as the first drop of a hat. This will Piss ranma off more as he is now stuck as a girl until she relents.
3. I think I will just have chibi come back after the deageing still as a child.
4. They will be trying to be normal kids as none of them had normal childhoods (Ranma was closest)
5. I am thinking of a running joke of where anytime where they go to a typical dating spot alone it ends in disaster, not always demon related. To the point that one of the times where they show up Hotaru just fires off a beam of energy without transforming or using the glaive and destroy a youma that jumps out at them from hiding, just in time to get it in the face. Isn't it cute a seven year old Hotaru with a twitching eye and her friends taking a step back from her.
6. Ranma will awaken powers as a Kamen (pictures Kamen!Ranma being dragged somewhere (not literally) to a fair by chibi-moon and chibi-Saturn (In their uniforms).... cute picture but not likely to happen)
7. Actual fights will be 'mostly' off screen, enough so that we never actually learn Ranma's powers
8. I will try to make Hotaru more domanant but remember that all three have very dominating personalities. Usa and Hotaru got along fine, add Ranma to the mix and while it will add friction she does know that Ranma is not one to be forced, well not easily anyway.
9. Despite Ranma being male he is also a she and will spend a lot of time initally with her as such due to the ageing shrooms. which will color Hotaru's view keeping her from channeling SM views.
LawOhki wrote:1. I'm curious why them being children is such an important detail.
2. Ranma really should be capable of running off on his own.
3. So she would be slightly older?
4. Why? Chibi did get a somewhat normal childhood the first couple times she came back. Hotaru did for the most part as well. Sure she was turned into a cyborg but she was mostly just cut off from others, which is not abnormal. Ranma's is probably the most normal other than being a super power martial artist.
5. As children, why would they go to date spots?
6. Might be more interesting if Ranma just develops some time relevant powers. Mamoru is supposed to be super odd in terms of universal power schemes and it can even be inferred that he's only powerful because he is connected to the golden crystal.
8. So then they should bicker a lot.
9. Male or female it should channel Hotaru's view. Not that she should really have a view since Saturn wasn't supposed to be doing anything during the SM. But that ruins the whole engagement thing.
WG_Writer wrote:2. Sure Ranma could run off and get clothes but he would agree to a degree, if he caved in now and ran off to get clothes aside from the hand-me downs (this time from Hotaru) then its an admition that he is stuck. Ranma is fully adaptable to this type of situtation, but I will relent enough to add that Hotaru has some unisex stuff or close enough to keep Ranma from passing the line.
3. I will likely reballance the ages a touch, but yes I think she will end up a little older (Physically)
4. (condenced) ultimately the problem with Chibi and Hotaru was the fact that their lives were disrupted with life or death battles from go once all is said and done. While Pre-Senshi Hotaru was secluded and this is not abnormal, its not normal either. Ranma on the other hand was moving regularly. while he did stay in random areas to train and go to school (which raises several conflicting questions about genma to me) he still had somewhat of a normal life of friends, and lack of fights where lives of innocents are on the line. (Herb and Saffron aside besides these enemies pale compared to the SM enemies)
5. Children physically, they are still teenish in mind, as such they are trying to act like they are teens instead of pre-teens.
6. Hmm, in a way Mamoru already has time based powers with his ability to read past of objects. and as to his powers--- the way I have always seen it and wrote it was that it has the same connection too him as the Silver Crystal has with Usagi. It is implied by Galaxia when she shows all the sailor crystals she has including her friends that Mamoru is in the count. so while "word of god" only girls can be sailor senshi, their may be a male equalivent that was unnamed.
8/9. There will be bickering have that no doubt, but Hotaru and Chibi are very caring people, and Ranma is very hot headed and known for draging his feet on topics. Although Ranma will heel spin if it suits him. I am not saying Hotaru or Chibi will caiter to Ranma, far from it. remember the fair stunt. while it seemed like they were being submissive, who exactly was moving who?
Remember the final arcs we see of the three in the Manga and this is the ultimate tell of character imo
Ranma is the type to protect what he sees as his, the higher the stakes the higher the effort. When Akane was about to die he invented new stops to pull out to save the day. (One could say he did it out of Love and Justice ;p )
Saturn is willing to sacrifice her friends and family and herself to accomplish a goal, she tends to be very very narrow minded when she decides that something must be done. She had to be stopped from bringing down the glaive by Chibi once at the cost of Chibi's life.
Chibi we know already that she is older then she apprears but even then she is inpatient and will act often times before she should. She is also highly observent, more so then her mother
LawOhki wrote:2. Admission that he has to wear smaller clothing isn't the same as giving up. WOG did say she imagined Hotaru liking to get dirty. (Adulteress Pluto chibi is adorable)
4. If you want to take that Ranma was traveling around his entire life you should also take that those life and death battles are nothing super new. Regardless of scale he still had plenty of moments of mortal peril.
5. You might be getting into some really icky territory if you want them to be acting like teens in the bodies of tiny children.
6. Word of god is that he takes the place of sailor earth. There isn't implied to be any kind of male equivalent because she also gave him a special place as the holder of the golden crystal, guardian of Elysium, yadda yadda. In fact it kind of breaks the rules of SM's universe to have a male version of senshi. Not that males can't be powerful of course, they just aren't senshi.
I'm forgetting the instance where Hotaru killed Chibi with her glaive. Dream arc they fight alongside each other until getting stuck in the mirror. Galaxia they're all attacking Sailor Moon and Usa is told to stay out of it by ChibiChibi and does.

2. hmm... I still want that scene... Perhaps a happy medium, less then an hour later Setsuna returns with clothes and mutters something about having three "dirt disasters" or something similar.
6. while I am not going to debate the point regarding the 'word of god' arguement because I do accept it. However Mamoru is technically more powerful then the inner senshi 'excluding moon' combined. The Anime and Manga differ on this point at the end of the series. in the anime he had a sailor crystal, in the manga he didn't. There are unstated issues with the senshi themselves. At one point it is shown or implied them growing with princess serenity. It is also mentioned that after the battle with Chaos in the Sailor Wars Serenity and her senshi settled down in Sol System. While its possible (and probably meant) that the princesses were the daughters of the last generation of senshi. If it is passed down by generations with that being the case then I am using the excuse that Mamoru's mother was a previous sailor terra and their was no other heir so he has it, maybe not able to use it, but has it none the less.
LawOhki wrote:Or two dirty children and one who they are forcing into it.
LawOhki wrote:Mamoru is more powerful? Not only just over one but all combined? What? Isn't there a moment where he thinks to himself how little he can do compared to them?
LawOhki wrote:Its shown that the Guardian senshi were already young senshi when Usagi was born. Nehellenia comments that they were all brought there from across the galaxy, which keeps with how the senshi are said to be called to their planets. (Act 48 and using the recent releases translation)
LawOhki wrote:Your sailor wars comment must be about the anime.
LawOhki wrote:Manga is rather explicit in that is tied to them in particular. Their sailor crystals can be stolen and harnessed but that is their being that is being used. Only inherited one is Usagi going to chibi usa which crippled Usagi's powers.
WG_Writer wrote:or something like that. She might not care to draw that line of difference.
Most of the series he is plagued by his own doubts. There are times he does show his stregnth as on par or close to Usagi in Serenity mode (Not the final form she had at the absolute end). I may be exaggerating some but he still was so powerful that when evil only Sailor Moon could drop him. (Which is funny since <insert villan of the arc> seems to corrupt him as a matter of course...) He had also fixed the North pole after the first arc due to it being destroyed in the fight. Only Moon and Saturn showed powers on that scale. Although it was shown as he was connected to the Earth so closely that when it felt pain so did he. So the exacting nature of such a connection is qustionable. On the other hand he was the holder of the Sailor Crystal of the Earth and the Golden Crystal which probably was his source of his stregnth.
I am not sure if it was thee recent or older translations or not but the translations I saw indicated that they "Recieved" their Sailor Crystals in that arc. Could mean that they had recently been summoned (not already had them) and is not without counter merit as Ceres and her band were asleep in their Astroids as their pure unborn form. And were given form.
But It was inherited. The door is open by that alone.
Also remember that Chibi chibi was Sailor Cosmos which was Sailor Moon's future self that lost in a war to Sailor Chaos, as a result she came to the past to kill chaos before it attained Senshi form. Although it 'could' be a reincarnation of Sailor Moon, Usa's child or something. Even 'Word of God' was to state she didn't know and as such it is in question.
In the Moon Kingdom the Sailor Senshi were shown as young, and so was Chibi-usa when she arrived and she was 900... were they really that young? Old? Ceres was 'created' matured not going through growing up. Age can not be used as a measuring stick here. The only Sailor Senshi we know of that grew up were Princess Serenity (past and present), and the specifically reincarnated. As stated the Amazon group were created instantly at age. We saw in the Manga that the Senshi didn't even have their Sailor Crystals at all till one arc when they got them meaning they can exist, with their powers and not have their sailor crystals. Thus the crystals might be able to be passed down.
4) The Moon Sailor Crystal is special in the way it has the Silver Crystal. Due to the fact it appears to pass between generations not once but twice might mean that some crystals that are similar the only other crystal we know of which looks similar is the Golden Crystal. (Either that or this is proof that a Sailor crystal is not tied to a specific person, but can pass with connected life.
