  Yay!  Another Karres fan.  Hmmm.... Goth, Capt. Pausert, and the Leewit
end up in Ranmaverse?  That would be a weird crossover.

   Nah, a fusion with Ranma as Pausert, Akane as Goth, Maleen played by
either Kasumi or Ukyo, and - hmmm - Nabiki or Shampoo as the Leewit? Not
quite right - maybe Cologne? Nah, Happosai and Cologne have to be Threbus
and Toll. 

Um. Fits the story roles, but I don't think the personalities match at 
all. Akane's a better match for the Leewit, personality-wise; Goth fits 
better with Nabiki, or possibly... hmm. Goth is the quiet, calculating 
type, and Nabs is about the only one I can think of like that in Ranma -- 
though Nabs is more mature than Goth. They're about equally confident, 
though. ;>

Ukyo might make a good Maleen, but not Kasumi; Maleen's still a bit 
immature in personality, and Kasumi'd make a better Toll. Toll's 
definitely the mothering type. :) Tofu wouldn't make too bad of a 
Threbus, though he's a bit more young/giddy than I picture Threbus being. 
Happi and Cologne I can't see at all... though Happi might make a good 
Sedamon. Shamps... hm. We need someone to be his first crush, the 
councilman's daughter... though I suspect some of the Shampoo fans may 
crucify me for that. :) Or Sunnat... but that's even worse. ^_^ Hmmm... 
no, Sunnat has to be Kodachi. ;>

Glad someone else appreciates Schmitz' greatest work.

Not sure I'd call it that. ;> I'm very fond of _Agent of Vega_ and some 
of the Telzey stories, and some of the stories in _A Pride of Monsters_ 
are absolute gems.
