Ranmascape

Genma looked at the cave before him. The Gate of Worlds it was called because it could was said to be the place where worlds joined together. The stories also told of great wealth and power to those who would enter it. Once Genma had heard that he grabbed the boy and headed he as fast as possible. He walked into the cavern using the key he was given, an old shoe. As he approached the end he discovered, a dead end. An arch in the wall. Worthless, he thought as he banged the wall...and his hand passed thru it in the arch. 'An illusion!' said Genma.

Ranma watched his father pass thru the wall. Ranma was amazed. This was so cool. Ranma followed.

The two marital artists looked around them. They came out of a decrative arch. Into a smoggy, decaying city crowded with bizzare creatures of all desciptions. Hideous demonic creatures to angellic visions of beauty.

"Out of the way berk!" yelled a pig face man in armour. Fangs poked out of his mouth.

Genma thought to himself, "I'm in deep trouble."

A few years later......

Genma had found some help in this strange land. He and the boy had adapted to the situation they were in. Both had eventually joined the fractions. A group of people devoted to an idea. Well, the boy had. He was excepted by a group called the Believers of the Source, one based on the principle that all beings had the potential to become the best, a power even, if they tried.

Genma had been kicked out of several. The Fated found him too greedy. The Signer of One found him to act to fast, while the Transcendent Order thought he thought too much. The Triad of Chaos composed of the Athar, Xaositects, and Revolutionary League found him too much of an embrassment. The Triad of Law (Harmonium, Fraternity of Order, and the Mercykillers) wanted him in prison. The Doomguard, The Bleak Cabal & Dustmen are not his style. The Society of Sensation rejected him. The only group that accepted him was The Free League. And they accepted him because they wish to be known as not a fraction. The rumour was that no fraction would have him.

Ranma was doing well under the hard work of the Foundry, the home of the Believers or Godsmen. Of course with cat-like creatures the Neko-Ken can out. But when he harmed some of the more planer members who tried to stop him, they became more convinced of his potential for becoming divine. The Godsman slowly developed a way to intergrate the Neko-ken with Ranma's normal persona. But the work at the various metal working were helping his training including the training with different masters of fighting styles with all sorts of planar creatures from Baatezu & Tanar'ri,Aasimon & Archons, Modrons & Slaadi of the Outer Planes to Elementals from the Inner Planes and everyone between. Plus there were the Missions Ranma and Genma took that sent them around the planes several times.

However as Ranma reached manhood, some of his Tiefling and Alu-fiend playmates common in the Lower Ward started to act strange around him. And Succubi and Erynes were gathering around him. When he left the Ward, other female beings would act the same way.

Ranma mastered many fighting styles, but learned of the various powers that moved the worlds. Learned of magic. He had already been changed by magic. Cat eyes, fangs, and a tail had been afflected on him do to the affects of the Beastland plane.

But today they would be going home. Ranma would love to see his mother again. He would miss Sal and Lil, the two girls ha had hooked up with here. But with the knowledge of spell keys and the magic itmes he had, coming back would be no problem. They had the Key and the knowledge of the door. They would return home. Near some place called Jusenkyou....
