and this accident could not be the same that effectively made him an orphan in canon.
unless Mamoru's parents died when he was a baby, and got his fracures on baby bones.
Genma eyed the crash sadly. The driver was dead, the poor slob apparently forgetting to wear his seat beat, his body having crashed through the front windshield on impact. There were two others in the car, a woman just as dead as the driver, and... no, that was horrible! The not-quite bald man grimaced as he felt the errant Chi signature of a third person, a baby if he had to guess. He also realized the baby was only moments from meeting the same fate as his parents.
Very cute. It made me laugh. I love how they poke at your cliches its funny.
I played with the damn table and it's scary. They almost write them selves.
A
2) Current popular hip-hop song with no relevence to the story.
- Flo Rida - Good Feeling
rolled a d 20 on the bill board top 20 for hip hop
B
1) Ranma is a SailorScout! (use Table BB)
9) SailorMoon
C
4) Ranma moves in with his mother, Nodoka lives in Juuban.
D
6) 1 & 3.--- 1) New Enemy. - What ever they were fighting when Venus Showed up.
3) The return of an old enemy. Kuno, just for giggles.
E
2) Forgotten about. Who'd want to write about thoes crazies any way.
F
6) Takes place during canon Ranma.
G
2) Ranma was involved with (Scout Table) in the Silver Millinium (roll again). SailorJupiter
2) Ranma was involved with (Scout Table) in the Silver Millinium (roll again). SailorMercury
6) Ranma is related (Relative Table) 5) Distant Cousins (2nd or 3rd) to (Scout Table) 7) SailorTerra/SailorEarth
and involved with (Scout Table) 2) SailorVenus (The same Scout is legal.)
H
2) If not already taken by Ranma - (Scout) 7 SailorTerra/SailorEarth has relations with (Scout). 4) SailorMars
So I played with the table and got that.
So im going for bonus points on top of this.
Usagi = Sailor Earth, So H is a Usagi + Rei.
Ranma meets Venus in London when he's little. Bonus pts there.
My C E and F all kinda mangle each other. I'd probably set it some time after Venus shows up and it's revealed moon is the princess but instead Ranma is the princess.

Very Nice. Hopefully not the end.
A bit to wrap it up, so to speak. It wasn't needed, leaving the ending abstract allows people to fill in the blanks in whatever particular way they want to fill it in.

My solution? Most of the events that mattered took place in China exclusively, just with different contexts behind it. Genma's gear got stolen shortly after he died, a series of Misunderstandings saw war between the Amazons and Phoenix tribe who, after launching an assault on the Musk, managed to snag Genma's gear by sheer happenstance, which set Ranma on them to try and get it back. It all culminated with a similar styled battled between Saffron and Ranma, and then the boy finally got his fathers gear back (Which had been thrown into storage by the Phoenix and forgotten about).
The above took care of the Post-Canon requirement, even if I had to fundamentally alter Canon itself. Genma died in China, so he was never introduced to his fiancee's. Soun didn't think to press the engagement, because he had yet to receive a letter from Genma reminding him about it. Nodoka wouldn't press it either, not because she thinks her dear departed husband was an idiot, but she had long since made arrangements for Ranma to marry another woman (Setsuna) which, as far as she is concerned, superseded Genma's promise to the Tendos
Ranma then decided to journey home. In order to get him to Juuban, however, he had to become fed up with Nerima. This took a little bit of thought (I smoked 2 cigarettes while debating this problem), but I decided to expose him to the lunacy of Kuno and the stupid Horde attacking Akane. It was just enough to make him wish he hadn't bothered, and thus fulfilled the 'Fed up with' Nerima portion of the challenge.
As for taking place during Canon Ranma in your roll, and the "Forgotten about' bit, bare in mind that's a very wide range you can write about. You could interrupt the canon storyline just before Herb, or just before Saffron, ect.
Technically as long as it takes place *before* the failed wedding, it's happening during Canon Ranma. Figure it out from there. Ranma, becoming Sailor Moon, could purposefully sever all ties with his Fiancee's because he knows he had even more enemies coming out of the woodwork. And given how close Akane came to dying, it would be certainly justifiable.
If you truly love some one you'll let them go, no matter how much it might hurt you to do it. If this love is destined then they will eventually return, and if it's not then you did the best thing for them anyway. (Or some such rubbish)
and this accident could not be the same that effectively made him an orphan in canon.
I only remembered it was a car accident that took his parents and made him an orphan, said accident also screwing him up mentally.

I can understand your point of view, I just want you to know that. When it comes to longer fics, where you can spend time carefully laying things out you should be able to point out such specifics. This isn't one of those stories though, this moves far to fast through time to actually show the different emotional upheavals that take place during the course of a budding relationship (Be it friendship or something deeper). I couldn't explain every tiny detail that had shaped Ranma's personality, nor the terrible circumstances that slowly eroded Usagi's will and made her the way she is.
Anyway, I've said my peace on that. Maybe when I get around to writing an actual Ranma/SM fic you'll see what you like there.
To leeyiankun
This is true to an extent, and certainly true given the context of the conversation. I am free to do whatever the hell I want with the story, I just can't violate the various strings imposed by the challenge roll itself.
For instance, Ranma had to marry Pluto. He did, I followed the roll literally. 'Ranma Saotome' married Setsuna. It said nothing about 'only' marrying her, and given his new life as Tuxedo Kamen, he also married Usagi, only as Endymion. The whole Usagi angle wasn't dictated, so I was free to do with it as I pleased.
Now, if I rolled a secondary relationship, like Moon and Mars, then I couldn't have done it the way I did as Moon would be in a relationship with Mars and thus untenable unless I really bend the rules of the challenge.
Anyway, yarp.
