Ranma the evil overlord?!?!?!

[stratagemini]

Okay. The Shadow! in the C&C section got me thinking.
What if one or more of the characters in Ranma 1/2 attempted to become evil overlords?
Wouldn't Gosunkugi's attempts at becoming the ultimate evil in Nerima be amusing? (Especially when everyone thinks Happosai takes that spot and has never heard of Gos)
Maybe Ranma's mother thought Evil overlords were manly? Maybe he fell into the spring of drowned evil overlord instead?
Nabiki's attempts to save money and cut corners on her evil path to power?
Kasumi the evil overlord. You know she's really evil behind that nice demeanor (and yes, there's canon proof in the manga, a lot of it).
Akane's more dumb brutish Warrior of light material than evil overlord.
Kuno, the entire Kuno family is just perfect for the position.
Mousse the evil overlord. "I must become the ultimate Evil to impress Shampoo!"
I'm sure you can just imagine it.
So then, here's my challenge. Write a one-shot, making one or more characters from Ranma (doesn't even have to be from this list) into an evil overlord. And make it funny.

Very few of the Ranma cast gives me the impression of being capable of becoming an evil overlord. Most of them don't have the patience to plan long-term or detailed. Of the cast, only Nabiki and Happosai strikes with the will to become overlords, and Happosai really wouldn't be interested in maintaining it.
There's a Marvel crossover ("Wild Horse of the Apokalypse") that features Ranma as an evil overlord that has pretty much conquered the world. This worked in Ranma's situation (who also doesn't strike me as overlord material) because in was a case of "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely".

I think the story you were refering to was a fic where Apocolypse used his power to give Ranma a lot of martial arts schools in return Ranma became WAR. Eventually Ranma killed apocolpyse and pretty muched ruled the Age of Apocolpyse by pretty muc hdoing the same thing Apocolpse believed in, starting wars to see who would survive.

It is Good that my Evil inspires you, though I have to agree, it would involve a significant degree of Black Magic to get a character from the Ranmaverse to SUCCESSFULLY conquer anything more then a bedroom, and even THAT with some duress...
Except maybe Nabiki, should she have such aspirations, and the means to carry them out, well, all bets are off...

[Pale Wolf]

Bah, Nabiki's an idiot as well. She simply engages on a battlefield - economic - that nobody else can counter with.

[lcpoketoon]

You know i had the idea for a story where some gods got tired of the universes where the scouts form Crystal Tokoyo. so they pull Ranma an Nabiki from their world and set them up with a dark kingdom and tell them they have to take over earth or atlest keep the senshi from doing it. I didn't do to much with the idea as i was working on other things at the time, but i did picture Nabiki dressed like she did on Toma's island with male yomas waiting on her hand an foot.

the whole reason why I posted the challenge was it would be humourous. They aren't supposed to be successful. It would take a tone more like Dark Heart High. Not a serious fic, but one where you could laugh at the characters as they tried to become evil overlords.

Kasumi the evil overlord. You know she's really evil behind that nice demeanor (and yes, there's canon proof in the manga, a lot of it).

So, someone else picked up on it, eh?
I'm making that idea into a pretty important part of one of my fics. Not overlord, but evil.

[stratagemini]

Alot of peopel have picked up on it. From N. Reynolds to many of teh people on the Fukufics mIRC channel.
Nice Dominic Deegan avatar by the way.

I could see any of the Nerima Wrecking Crew becoming Overlords like Zetta in Makai Kingdom. He's got a lot of power, but is a complete idiot.

[Knight of L-sama]

Kuno, the entire Kuno family is just perfect for the position.

Nope, not at all. Kodachi maybe but Kuno himself, no way. He may operate by a different set of rules compared to everyone else but by those rules he would be a righteous Warrior of Light.

[Draconis Stelanaris]

Ehehee...
So many paths to chose from...
Ranma could try the EOL thing just because he keeps being cast as the bad guy by every one with out the perks....
*wanders off*
Now if I could just write a decent conversation on my own..

I could see any of the Nerima Wrecking Crew becoming Overlords like Zetta in Makai Kingdom. He's got a lot of power, but is a complete idiot.

Possible, especially considering a humorous story. However, the overlords of Makai Kingdom consider lives of others who isn't another overlord as inconsequential. No character (even villains) in Ranma 1/2 is that heartless.

He may operate by a different set of rules compared to everyone else but by those rules he would be a righteous Warrior of Light.

Go Tatewaki Kuno!
Hm, but, yeah, Kodachi could have both the focus/obsessiveness and self-centeredness to become an overlord.

[Tovath]

Yeah Then have her trick Tatewaki into thinking he is working for the light and he would be a perfect minnon
