Ranma ½ Need some help with some details

I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with a rough estimate of what Ukyo Kuonji's body measurements are; I'm talking the whole deal: bust, waist, hips, cup size, height, weight, everything. I don't know if it'll be remotely possible, but surely someone, somewhere has had enough free time to work these things out.

There is that pic in the Ranma section of the lemon area that has some of the female cast standing naked or semi naked.

It's got their heights on it, but I'm rubbish at maths and have no idea how to calculate the three sizes.

I'm somewhat intrigued by your planned fic, can you share any details at this time?

Other than it'll have Ukyo in, I mean.

Are you going by the anime or manga standards on the sizes? The anime, IIRC were slightly larger than the manga if some of the official pics were to go by. I think I have a list of the sizes of the whole cast buried somewhere in my old folders. I'll try to find it if I can.

Curious though, why do you need the sizes in such great detail?

I'm still in the very early stages of planning this fic out, so I don't really have much available to share other than the fact that it will have a certain badass Jedi living on Earth, raising Ukyo as his own child.

That's actually how I plan out my fics. Before I start to write any chapters, I'll sit down with a pad and pen, work out a brief description of the timeline of events I have planned; and write down, in as much detail as possible, profiles for my main characters. I suspect it's something I picked up from rolling up countless D&D characters.

Hmm, Revan comes to mind.

Star Wars crossover? Sorry, but, no thanks.

As for determining Ukyou's exact measurements, it's not possible, because said measurements don't exist in canon. The best you can get is a half-assed approximation of how she stacks up relatively. Even that may be flawed.

Here I was thinking Mace Windu.

Revan though, that is going to be one strange crossover. Especially as Ranma will be utterly outclassed by Ukyo, who some consider a second string character that isn't critical to the plot.

"You want to marry me."
"This is not the Ranma you are looking for."

But didn't she spend ten years looking for revenge? And if the Jedi manages to show her the way, why would she look for Ranma?

I think Revan isn't totally against revenge. Throwing away your life for it, or at least your childhood, is a different matter.

I'm gettting the feeling that I'll be siding with NDF on this one - it takes a great deal of... something to be able to pull off a Ranma/Star Wars fic.

But, because I'm pretty sure that I've read something from you before, I'd certainly give the prologue/first chapter a look over before passing judgement.

Okay, just to clarify some of the misconceptions that seem to have sprung up:

1. While Revan will be raising Ukyo, he won't be teaching her any of the Jedi Arts, as she isn't Force Sensitive. He will provide assistance with her training in Okonomiyaki Style Martial Arts, though.

2. Even if she were able to use the Force, Ukyo wouldn't want to use the Jedi Mind Trick on Ranma to make him love her, as she would feel that she had cheated. She fully intends to win him over the old fashioned way, with her looks and personality.

3. For the record, pretty much the only part of the entire Star Wars universe I'll be using for this story is Revan, the Force, and a couple of Lightsabers that end up destroyed shortly after they see their first use. So don't expect random Jedi and Sith to start popping up left, right and centre.

4. This story won't just have some Star Wars elements in it, as I'm slowly putting the pieces together to make this more of a Ranma/Doctor Who crosover with the above mentioned parts of the Star Wars universe woven through it. But even then, the Doctor Who parts will be very select, and the Doctor himself will only have a minor role in the prologue.

5. Revan certainly isn't completely against revenge, but he will advise that it be directed at the person truly deserving; ie. Genma.

I think that about covers it; but if anyone wants something else clarified, of if they think that this is a horrible idea that should be scrapped in favor of something less ambitious, don't hesitate to post it.

Why add Star Wars in this story at all?
It may seem so bad and horrid but OC's are not evil. Wouldn't be hard to add an OC with martial arts skills as everyone seems to have them.

I agree. Why have her be raised by someone with Force powers if she doesn't have them? It doesn't make sense to me. And him being able to train her in her style makes even less sense. Blahh....

Seconded unfortunately.

*mutters to self* There's just no pleasing some people is there?

Alright, I'm gonna shunt this idea to the back burner, and try to write something smaller, and less convoluted.

Weakling. Don't bury the idea, just fix the issues. It seems to me that since you started the thread by asking for details about Ukyou that you want to write an Ukyou-centric story, or at least one where she's a main character (not necessarily *THE* main). Having her trained by someone with Force powers looks mighty strange if she's not a Force-sensitive, so either change that, or ditch that aspect. You want her to be better in her style, so either get someone who's naturally an expert in it or at least someone who is an expert in something *similar*, which in context would probably be someone who uses a spear/naginata as their main weapon, but is capable of wielding it one-handed temporarily so that they can manage small throwing weapons or ropes to tie up the opponent.

Ukyou depends pretty heavily on that ring she set up to fight Ranma initially; there was a short story later in the manga where someone who knew her style well exploited her weakness of predictability. So mix things up.

Don't just bury. Fix. Burying is for when an idea is toxic and utterly unfeasible in any light.

And this defense is coming from someone who not only isn't an Ukyou fan, but who thinks the manga would not be changed all that much by completely removing her.

I never said I was dropping it, merely putting it to one side until I have a better idea of what I want to achieve with it, and get some more practice with creative writing by doing a fer one-shots, or the like.
