Forward for making a difference

-

Sorry about the delay in releasing the second chapter, I had some things to takee care of, plus I was on vacation. i am re-posting the first chapter today and tommarow morning i will post the next chapter, it will only be about onethousand words.

I do not own ranma or robotech, nor a decent spellcheck

-

Now into the subject at hand, I am not going to be repeating much of the robotech cannon. Why you might ask? Because the title is called Making a difference for a reason. I had wanted to do a robotech/Ranma cross and I know the complications of doings so. Magic and tech don't mix very well but if you tweek robotech alittle and factor in the protoculture then perhaps it can work.

-

So what I hope to accomplish in this fic is to have Ranma and Nodoka making a proactive difference in the story. I decided to include Nodoka because I always felt that Dr. Lang could use some help, so I gave Ranma's mother the ability and background to do so. I did that because no other Ranma chareture really has enough smarts to be of any use with out making a lot of changes in the cannon and I am too lazy and lack the desire to do that.

-

Also I chose Ranma to be a piliot because well that is where most of the action takes place and I can hardly see Ranma not as a piloit. I guess this is where things get ansty. Because Ranma is still a teenager and while I chose to have him facing of agiast herb before the start of this fic, he has not made a disiction to kill yet. All of his fights he looked at as a not life or death situation. I decided to combine that with the lack of a military mindset. While disipline is important to both military and martail arts there are key factors at play. Both are a means to protect however martial arts does not include killing in that goal, well it does as a last resort but it is completely different from killing on mass. Now I am not saying that the military kills on mass, I once was a soldier and was pretty good at it but there is a distinct difference.

-

That difference along with the brief back story that I put in about the soul of ice will hopefully make the story more interesting.

-

Now for the Ranma lisa pairing, I made lisa a little over two years older than Ranma, she was a child protge so I can do that, but I will hope fully take it into a different direction, I also do not intend to make Ranma reveal his curse to his mother yet, even though she knows. I was thinking about forcing him into the miss Macross pagent as well as a few other things Nodoka might do to presure him into telling. but I have not mapped this story out yet and if my style remains true I probably won't untill I near the end.

Also, i may have left the rest of Nerima behind but they will make a re-appearance in later chapters.
