<<Snip a lot of WoD and RoD (Ranma of Darkness) stuff)

You know, I just gotta love the World of Darkness!  Werewolf is... 
well, in my book, not the best, but cool nonetheless.  Especially 
Ragabashes!  I do rather enjoy Vampire a lot, (especially the 
Malks!) Wraith is interesting, though I know not of the playability 
factor, (perhaps there is a such thing as too angsty, ne?) and 
Mage is a nifty reality warping mambo just from the concept alone.  
Nigh anything is possible with it, if you can avoid the mighty blows 
of collective consensus.  My WoDian cup of tea, though... 
absoposolutely has to be Changeling!  The rules take some getting 
used to, and the chars usually aren't anywhere nearly as potent 
as... say a big burly Garou, but, I... just identify with it.  More than 
any of the other Games, I just get where the Changelings are 
coming from... you know? 

Hmmm.... I have to agree with Sam, (Oy, welcome back, by the 
by!) I tend to think that there is definetally something 
Malkavianesque about the whole Kunou family.  Madness certainly 
does seem to run in their family...  Kai  suggested Ventrue, but... 
you've got to be kidding me!  They'd be the laughingstocks of the 
clan!  A Ventrue sire who wears Hawaiian tee shirts and has a 
palm tree in his hair?  I think not.  A Malkavian?  It makes perfect 
"sense". ^-^  

As for those who use the arguement of "enlightenment through 
madness" typically attatched to good ol' Malks, and justafiabally... 
(one of the nifty aspects of them, ne?)  two things.

1) Every Malkavian is insane.  That's pretty much the only 
guarantee.  Every Malkavian is insane.  Not every Malkavian gains 
wisdom from it... many of them do, but, as I understand it, many of 
them do not.

2) There might be wisdom to be gleaned from the Kunous, it's just 
that no one understands it... even them.  Of course, wisdom is a 
relative term... some could find a measure of mangled wisdom in 
Principal Kunou's carefree lifestyle.  

There's another thing.... Both Principal, and his daughter, Kodachi, 
practice the ages old tradition of Malkavian prankstership... Father 
with shears and Hawaiian props; daughter, with poison/chemical 
blends, ambushes, and wildlife; and both with miscellanious traps 
up the YinYang (Pardon, Darcy.)

Tatewaki is the only one in the trio without the pranksterish 
tendancies, but who says all Malks have to be alike yes?  And for 
the insanity qualification, his delusions of granduer, and everything 
in general work for me.  The Malkavian profile does say that every 
one of them has at least one Derangement that they can Never 
overcome, and his refusal to understand Ranma's condition even 
when directly confronted with it seems to indicate that his delusion 
world is pretty darn solid.  So, Kai, I'd say... they are in fact Malks 
with old money. (I shrug.) Hey, it can happen... ^-^

Another one I've been thinking about...

Gosunkugi... Hollow One Mage, or Sluagh Changeling?  What're 
your ideas, I haven't decided yet....

Of course, this is all disincluding the Kindred and Changelings of 
the East things, of which I am not all that familar, I am afraid...

(There is something along the lines of an Eastern Changelings 
expansion coming up, right?)
