"Seven, huh? That adds up. Seven of us were sucked into that
hole. Let's see. There was me, Akane, Nabiki, Ukyou, Ryouga,
Shampoo, and Mousse," said Ranma as he ticked off the names on his
fingers. "That's seven all right."
Hrm...if my guess is correct, matching up the names and descriptions in
order we have:
Ranma> One of light and power,
Akane> One of darkness and destruction,
Nabiki> One of illusion and wit,
Ukyou> One of stealth and shadows,
Ryouga> One of death and daggers,
Shampoo> One of earth and life,
Mousse> One of air and grace."
Have to disagree with this assesement. Ranma is indeed light and power,
mostly taken from the fact that he's the hero ^_^ But also dealing with
his strength of will, the inability to accept losing, the light inside
of him and the confidence that gives him power.
Ryouga would be darkness and destruction. Not only becuase that makes a
wonderfull, seperate but equal flip side with Ranma, but becuase his
strength is a by-prouct of his pain, his loneliness, his deppression. A
dark brooding force that destroys all in his path.
Nabiki as Illusion and wit? Works for me, at least the wit bit.
Stealth and shadows? I'm afraid Shampoo goes there as there's just no
where else to put her. She was regarded as somewhat of a hunter, but
stealth has never really been her forte.
Personally, I'd have invited Gos or Kodachi along for Stealth and
Shadow <assasign>, have Nabs moved to Tricks and Profits <thief>, and
Shampoo as Wyld and Beastial <ranger or druid>
Death and Daggers is practically BEGGING Mousse to come out and play
^_^
Earth and Life speaks of indomitable will, of the home, of cooking and
a warm hearth. Gotta be Ukyo.
Air and grace is once again nessicitated by plot theories. The princess
theory, the balancer between Ranma and Ryouga, and the beautiful maiden.
Not gracefull yet, but will be one day <either that or this is a rather
snide joke by our friend Dfire> and ALL the tendo names relate to
clouds, and thus air. Akane of course.
Well, that was fun, just my thoughts on this guys, haven't even read
the fic yet ^_^;; but I DO plan to. Hope you like the advert Dfire, hope
I got at least ONE of them right. Good luck!
With a name like FFIRC, it has to be an acroynm for SOMETHING!!!
