<br/><br/>Episodes (http://www.animeseason.com/ranma/) for free to watch online.<br/></div><br/><div align="center">*****</div><br/><br/><strong>CHARACTER CREATION</strong><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>(16-19 please)<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Hair:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Eyes:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Jusenkyo Curse (If Any):</strong>(Aside from the known Jusenkyo springs, feel free to suggest any other spring for your character's curse.  There are over 100 springs total, after all.  I will have the final say about whether a suggested spring is ok.  Note that you don't have to have a Jusenkyo curse, either.)<br/><br/><strong>Martial Arts Style:</strong>(The more outrageous and/or silly the better!)<br/><br/><strong>Element or Elements Attuned to:</strong>(Generally one, but sometimes two.  Elements are just there for flavor and in case it's ever relevant for plot stuff.  It can be any of the basic four or the Eastern elements.  Mousse would definitely be Metal aligned, for instance.)<br/><br/><strong>Special Technique (Start with one.  Extra techniques to start cost 3 flaw/background points.  Note:  All female characters get the Anime Slap "technique" for free.):</strong><br/><br/><strong>ATTRIBUTES:  (1-6... 24 points to spend at creation and every attribute -must- have at least one on it.  Extra points to start cost 2 flaw/background points.  1 is underdeveloped, 2 is average, 3-4 is above average and 5-6 is exceptional)</strong><br/><br/><strong>Strength:</strong>(Physical Strength)<br/><br/><strong>Speed:</strong>(Physical Speed)<br/><br/><strong>Durability:</strong>(How much punishment one can take)<br/><br/><strong>Wisdom:</strong>(How smart and wise a character is)<br/><br/><strong>Knack:</strong>(How easily a character can learn special techniques)<br/><br/><strong>Charm:</strong>(Your character's force of charisma)<br/><br/><strong>Martial Art Skill:</strong>(Can go up to x3... x4 for exceptionally powerful NPCs.  Martial Arts x1 everyone gets for free.  Characters like Mousse, Akane and Kuno have this at x1 with Shampoo and Ukyo having x2 and folks like Ranma and Ryoga with x3.  Martial Arts ranks above x1 cost 3 BG points each.)<br/><br/><strong>Special Training:</strong>(*Examples:  Strength, Speed, Toughness, Ki Training, Wealth, Weapons, Pure Heart.  All these can go up to x3.  Note:  ALL characters get Jump x1 for free.  This is an anime after all.)<br/><br/><strong>Flaw:</strong>(A flaw give bonus creation points... up to 5 extra points.  Note that not all Jusenkyo curses are equal.  Some are worth more points than others.  As far as how many points a flaw is worth, just ask and I'll assign the points based on how severe the flaw(s) is/are in my view.  Example:  Ryoga's flaws (turns into a little black pig that's near useless in combat and no sense of direction) are a total of 5 points.)<br/><br/>*Special Training allows a character to do things that normal attributes would normally not allow.  To get a Special Training rating of x1, you need to have the corresponding attribute at 5 or higher.  For x2 or higher, a 6 is required in that attribute.  Special Training costs 3 flaw/background points.<br/><br/>Strength: (Strength)  Training that has given you strength beyond the capacity of normal people in terms of lifting and other feats of strength.<br/><br/>Speed:  (Speed)  Training that has given you speed beyond the capacity of normal people and includes balance and other feats of agility.<br/><br/>Toughness (Durability)  Training that has given you toughness beyond the capacity of normal people and helps you withstand things that would seriously injure or kill a normal martial artist.<br/><br/>Ki Training (Knack)  Note:  Any special technique that actively channels ki into physical energy requires this Training.  The better your rating in this training, the more powerful your ki (and battle aura) is.<br/><br/>Wealth (No prerequisite attribute)  Wealth goes from 0 (Ranma's level) all the way to x3 (Kuno's level... tons of money, a large family estate, etc)<br/><br/>Weapons (Strength or Speed)<br/><br/>Pure Heart (No prerequisite attribute)  Pure Heart may come into effect vs demons and other forces of corruption.  Characters of pure heart with be resistant to certain abilities.  A female's Anime Slap will not generally affect a male with Pure Heart, for example.<br/><br/><strong>Background Points:</strong>Think of these as free points to help round out your character concept.  Everyone gets 22 extra background points.<br/><br/><strong>Clarified:</strong><br/><br/>You get 24 points for Attributes.<br/><br/>You get one special technique.<br/><br/>You get no Special Training or additional special techniques unless you spend background/flaw points on them.<br/><br/>You get 22 background points.  If you take a flaw you can get up to 5 more BG points for a total ranging from 22 to 27 points.  These are what you use to spend on Special Training and additional Special techniques.<br/><br/>To use BG points to buy an additional attribute point is a cost of 2.<br/><br/>To use BG points to buy an additional special technique or a rank in special training costs 3 each.<br/><br/>So getting Strength x2, for example would cost 6 BG points and require you to have a base Strength attribute of 6.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center">*****</div><br/><br/><strong>Character Sheet:</strong><br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return
