Name: Ranma Saotome | SHSL Martial Artist | Champion of Versatility | The Cinderella Boy | Two-Timer Age: 16 | Species: Human | Occupation: High school student, martial artist Likes: Sentai, parfaits, fighting, hot water Dislikes: Curses, cats, cold water Traits: Prideful, blunt, determined, honorable Trivia: Swam the entire sea of Japan to China as part of his training.
(Note: To clear up things regarding Ranma's curse, Ranma refers to himself with masculine pronouns regardless of the form he takes. He also doesn't mind people referring to his cursed form with feminine pronouns if they choose to/do so. I'm also cool with playing Ranma in either form for the thread.)
[Upon first impressions, Ranma comes off as an arrogant macho jerky teen. A total smart-aleck with a bad case of foot-in-mouthitis who won't treat the literal death game with due gravitas. He went as far as to confront (translation: try to fight) the host, nearly leading him to getting spear of gungnir'd that would've killed him had he not dodged at the last second. During daily life, he'd be seen around the premises doing his own thing like training, or going around bugging people. For all his less than pleasant traits, under normal circumstances, he's carefree, casual and amicable, more often than not trying to make nice with those around him, even those he may have negative cr with. As a martial artist, it's part of his code of honor to protect those who are weak or in need from threats. Although the cynic in him doesn't trust people around him to not crack under the pressure - people back home have tried to kill for lesser, trivial reasons in comparison to a get-out-of-imprisonment card at the small fee of bloodshed - the last thing he wants is for anyone here to actually die.
When bodies drop, Ranma will take it upon him to avenge their deaths and put in effort to the investigations and the trials. It's the least he can do to make up failing them. Ranma'll attend the afterparties, mostly checking in on how people are doing and find himself someone to talk to. Also to swipe sweets off the table in private when no one's looking. Good luck getting him to open up on how he's feeling beyond being frustrated. Deaths and the motives will take their toll as bodies pile up making him more and more determined to the point of desperation and make brash decisions to stop the killings, even if it costs him life and limb.
He has his own vices like anyone else, of course. Motives can steer him off the virtuous path if it involves hostages, secrets, and most tempting of all: a cure. A cure for what exactly? His curse, something that he views as a hassle no matter how much he's grown to tolerate it as something that happens. A curse that's frankly easy to reveal with a drop of water, more than likely getting revealed early on during his stay here. After falling into a cursed spring in China, should Ranma come into contact with cold water, he changes from a raven-haired lean-built boy to a red/pink-haired short girl, only returning to normal with hot water. Which he is so, so thrilled (translation: swore like a sailor at any camera he could see) with that being the one ability they let him keep. Whatever form he takes during the murder game doesn't change who he is as a person outside of being physically different, he's still the same Ranma they like, tolerate or want to hit over the head with a table.]
