I guess you could say that my story began when I attended college so very long
ago. I had just finished my final and was sitting in the student union bemoaning
my lack of funds and direction when by some chance, some miracle of fate I
happened to glance down at a insignificant scrap of paper and saw it. The thing
that was to make me great it was an ad for a student, more importantly it was a
potential form of revenue. Apparently the occult studies club was in need of a
test subject a person who was willing to risk their life for the enhancement and
betterment of the understanding of how the world worked.
More importantly it mentioned that those brave souls willing to risk their life
for the betterment of humanity would be compensated for their time with a secular
reward of currency. I must admit the prospect of playing an important role for
the betterment of humanity held no appeal to me, after all what had they ever done
for me, the paper stated that all applicants were directed to the occult club

the long and arduous journey (it was at least 50m) I found myself deep in thought
and lulled my self into a Zen like trance on important philosophical topics as how
many licks did it take to get to the middle of a tootsie roll pop, and if a tree
fell in the forest on a mime and nobody was around would he make a sound, abruptly
my musings were cut short when I discovered that I had arrived at my destination �
Tailor 003 � the men�s room � I must confess dear readers that I was somewhat
confused, to say the least, I mean how would you feel if you were on your way to
what must be a defining moment in the reaching of your destiny and you discovered
it would take place in a men�s room � but I Digress swallowing my doubts

the stalls, it appeared to be formed out of a three by five notebook card and

when a voice of titanic proportions rocked the room, it was then that I became

aware of the dark figures surrounding me, dressed in robes of all in black their

faces were covered by the hoods which seemed to come down further than was
practical and I reprimanded the lone thought that asked how they were to see,
seeing my inattention the voice spoke again � WHO IS IT THAT DARES TO INVADE THE

I SHULD TURN DOWN THE VOLUME ON THE LOUD SPEAKER, MAYBE THIS MAYBE THAT I AM TIRED

resolved to enter in my two cents, I knew that to distract the two great voices
that I had to say something awe inspiring, intelligent, and just plain cool, it
worked the voices both fell silent as they were struck with the full might of my
wisdom struck them and the word
What?
�DUCK, � echoed though out the chamber. I winced as once again I found my focus
of the voice�s might.

as my thoughts turned to money, after all I had to keep my priorities straight.

Once again the voice boomed and once again I covered my ears
� AS YOUR REWARD FOR PERFORMING THIS TASK YOU SHALL BE GIVEN OVER THE SUM OF FIVE
DOLLARS. �
� Five dollars are you nuts, not even the largest idiot would risk his life for

such a paltry sum, besides that�s all that the college would give us for this term
and that was only because no one else wanted it � the second voice argued to the

� Don�t worry he wont survive the experiment and then we�ll have both the data and
the money � � but I still � � the first voice began again when unable to contain
myself I interrupted since to me this seemed too good to be true and proudly I
give my response
� Five Bucks All right I�ll do it! � At hearing this the dark figures began to
move closer and surround me when as one they began in a slow methodical chant
after what seamed like forever and was in actuality probably only a few seconds I
began to grow board wishing for something, anything to happen � unfortunately, I

The light began to flicker and the world began to spin, I found my self
experiencing the new sensations of being Abel to taste color and see sound, I am
not ashamed to admit that I screamed, so sure I was that the world was about to
end that I began to make excuses for all of my misdeeds incase their really was a

fact that I immediately fell back to sleep. I awoke later and took stock of my
situation, I appeared to be in a meadow in the middle of a deep forest isolated
from civilization, my possessions included, the clothes on my back my wallet and �
a book, it appeared to be quite old and bound in the old way, its leather cover
was dark and in it I saw that this book had seen many hands, and would see many
more, opening the cover I bore witness to the words that would haunt my destiny
for many years.
So you want to be a Self Insertion Character by Anomalous, swallowing my horror I
did all that I could, considering the situation � I sat down and began reading.
Chapter 1 < The Ranmaverse > in 10 easy to follow steps
Step:
1. Change your name: As in think up a fake one while it may not seem important it
is, what�s in a name � everything, if a mage knows it then he can control you, so
not only does this practice help you hide your true name but it gives you an ultra
cool name to call yourself, I mean after all what did your parents know when they
decided to call you Ira or something. The proper name should, a: strike fear in
the hearts of your enemies, b: sound really cool, and c: define some
characteristic about you, your inner nature or mission or something.
Hmm, I decided that I could live with that and that it was just possible that some
of the arguments could be true but resolved to put it off until I could think of
something appropriate.
2. Learn to be a super insanely powerful martal artist: Lets face it you are a
wimp, everyone in the world is better than you, and if you want to last five
seconds here then you are going to have to learn to defend yourself.
NOTE: Becoming an ultra insanely powerful mage instead of or in addition to
becoming a martial artist is also acceptable.
This was another one of the steps that I did not have a problem with, after all
who doesn�t want to be Abel to leap tall buildings in a single bound and stuff.
3. Fall in a cursed spring: After all everybody�s doing it and you don�t want to
be left out do you do you do you.
Question mark.
Eh...whatever. In short you should probably fix up your spelling a little and
curb those run on sentences.
Also be warned that your inflated estimation of Ranma is liable to make him a
very uninteresting character.
