Saotome Ranma

Ranma Saotome is the main protagonist and title character of "Ranma ½"[1], which is the fandom on which the Sisterhood of Doom multiverse is loosely based. Ranma has left his Neriman existence behind and has truly bloomed into a master of the Art. He has taken his training and abilities to extreme levels surprising even himself with what he can do with martial arts, life energy, healing, as well as the intellectual and magical arts (even mystical arts, unknown to Kasumi). He has also fully embraced his Jusenkyo curse and has developed a form of cloaking magic that allows him to take on nearly any form he wants. He is in the process of teaching his comrades-in-arms in his school of the Art throughout much of the story.

## Alter-egos

Using his cloaking magic technique, he has developed several alternate identities. Some of these are used regularly, while others are more for fun.

* **Asami**: A traditional Japanese Girl
* **Cheiko**: A ko-gal with an attitude (saying something for Ranma)
* **Kenji**: A California-model/surfer dude type
* **Morita Shiro**: A male cousin of Akiko Morita. This alternate was used early on after his break from Nerima to aid in his escape and in cognito lifestyle while he got back on his feet.
* **Morita Sumiko**: A female cousin of Akiko Morita. Also used like Shiro, but for his cursed form.
* **Nakahara Maiko**: Used regularly by Ranma to finish his high school education as well as his university education. Maiko is seen regularly in Minato and on the university campus.
* **Yori**: Ranma's main alternate persona and the leader of the Sisterhood of Doom. Yori also has winged and mermaid forms.
* **Zythra'a**: An alternate persona based on someone from an alternate reality.

Ranma has several others he uses, many of which are unnamed in the story line. However others mentioned by name include Gorou, Mariko, Mika, and Shin.

## Equipment

Ranma makes extensive use of the hidden weapons technique and has mastered it to a high level. He keeps various things in there, so it should be no surprise when he pulls something useful our of his sleeves (or thin air). However, he makes extensive use of only a few items. He has all the equipment common to a member of the Sisterhood of Doom, including an SI unit, disguise bracelet and camera drones. In addition, Ranma (and Kasumi) has the following extra equipment:

* Case with extra Mark Nine Gamma (SI) units
* Translation spell applicator artifact

Since Ranma can somewhat wields the power of mysticism (that came by birth and was aware after his mom, Nodoka Saotome told him about this) in terms of mystical art, he can use only if the magic as well has the above equipments doesn't work any more. The situation becomes so dangerous in front of everyone when Ranma's anger goes off the limits. If it happens, his mysticism goes out of control and begins to project 10 times more magical powers than himself can. In order to get back his own self, he needs Kasumi (not limited to her alternate identities) to lower his anger by just keeping his hand on his shoulder and conclude the situation, that doesn't matter if she cries too.
