A confused, and hopelessly lost bandanna clad martial artist finally gives up on his unrequited love and decides to leave the chaos surrounding her and his oldest rival. he had gotten lost lots of times before and wound up in odd places, but pastel colored talking equines were a new one.
[ Perhaps the most obvious set up for a character displaced fic I've ever come up with.
A Ranma 1/2 MLP crossover.]
[ Just another idea that popped into my head i need to get rid of before working on something else.]
Chapters (6)
This'll be absolutely hilarious, I can tell
I'll definitely be looking at this one!
...Rather surprising someone with 663 followers to be doing a Displaced, usually the popular writers make fun of it.

It's not really a displaced story as in a brony gets transformed into a character by some merchant and shanghaied to Equestria. It's a genuine crossover, granted with just a single character. But no knowledge of memes nor ponies, nor even normalcy because it's Ryoga Hibiki, the eternally lost boy who powers his attacks with depression and despair of his lot in life.
Expect him to out-emo Nightmare Moon and even out-rant her with his perceived slights.
Ryoga always gets lost, but this is extra lost.
Also, I pity the idiot who crosses paths with his fists.
Oh this will be fun. Watched.
I caught some reference in there. A song and some Star wars stormtroopers patrolling on Tatooine I think.

However, the merchant is not a requirement, but it is a cliche people need to break from. For example, I didn't use the merchant nor the comicon, instead, he got displaced just by putting on a powerglove he had in his closest for many years.
Now, cross-overs is a very delicate subject to approach, it can make or break a story if it is done too much and/or too soon. It needs to be planned ahead, it needs to have a reason for the cross-over, not meet, greet, then derail the main plot. Thestory needs to keep flowing even after the second displaced is summoned. Afterall, they are merely a passenger going along for the ride, they may suggest of where to go, but they can't directly control the driver where to do.
Character growth, world building, and plot progression must come first, perhaps ten or twenty chapters before accepting cross-overs. However, if the author desires to not have any cross-overs, it will be a wise move to choose.

I wasn't referring to any displaced crossovers between other displaced stories, and I hope there are none since I've never seen them work well. I'm not a fan of most displaced stories for that reason, and I think the author used the term Displaced incorrectly in the description instead of just saying a crossover between Ranma 1/2 and MLP.
9714231
Like I said, cross-overs are delicate. It is only bad if it is not handled correctly. Now, as for the term. Displaced means Dimensionally Misplaced. As long as it contains Character A being sent into AU Equestria B while being changed into a character C, then it is a Displaced. No need for merchant/tokens/cross-overs/conic/void or any of the lore they've made.
Wait what was that last one ?
Ah but you are mistaken my good sir, you are no longer on the Earth
That part still confuses me a little (from the show), why did they leave her alone in the room when she just asked them to give her some space no leave her alone in the creepy castle
9714022
He has hooves now
9713940
This isn't a Displaced story.
This is a story about a character from from the manga Ranma 1/2 who, somehow, got so lost that he ended up in Equestria... and probably changed into a pony but that hasn't been confirmed yet.
9714292
The author wishes for it to be called one as long as it says it is in the description. Feel free to change his mind if you can. On side note, who in the world is giving dislikes to me and Canary's comments?
9714313
The end of the prologue says:
No mention of Displaced, so I don't think it's actually a Displaced genre fanfic, merely used the term to describe the scenario of a crossover with a displaced character from one setting into another.
9714373
Oh, forgive me. I misunderstood.
Poor Ryoga, seems that the chance with the Sumo Pig farmer girl wasn't too attractive to him...
Loving the premise so far - I'll wait with bated breath for the next chapter!
Not all who wonder are lost
At least he can speak to Fluttershy in pig form...
9713940
I didn't even know i was popular.
9714022
This is also end of series Ryoga, with his full skill set.
9714284
he was on the moon, with astronauts.
9714313
9714292 Actually i was curious as to what to call this myself. It is displaced but with a cross over and i don't hit any of the tropes usually associated with a displaced story. that doesn't mean meme's and references won't be in here... that's my basic style but it won't be ryoga bringing them up.
9714477
Given Akari was ALL about the pigs and only the pigs and Ryoga hates his cursed form.
Also let's not forget Ukyo was voiced by the same girl who voices Starlight Glimmer
9714592
The term "Displaced" became its own generea at this point. So even if this fic has a displaced character, you shouldnt call it a "Displaced" fic as it doesnt comply with the genera and will create false expectations.
You can simply call it a "crossover fic" or a "transported fic", and by that avoid any misunderstandings or false expectations.
9714673
Nah, just having it being a Human in Equestria or Human turned into Pony is enough.
The variety is astounding within the whole HiE though.
9714592
She was kinda cute though.
9714592
Wait is that true?
One Google search later
Well I'll be damned
Boy, none of that sounds like a one-sided view of the situation in Nerima, Ryoga...
Ranma ain't an angel, but he always did legit consider Ryoga a friend and often went out of his way to help him.
9714592
I'd just call in a crossover. Human in Equestria (HiE) if you want to be specific. Plus, congrats on really capturing Ryoga's character here.
9717098
He also went out of his way to screw with him too the Checkers episode comes readily to mind where Ranma posed as Ryoga's sister. It is colored of course cause it's Ryoga's viewpoint, but Ranma is a dick.
9717158
I mean, he was basically trying to steal Ranma's gf and didn't that story start off with him waking up Ranma with an attack and demanding that he take him home, then after getting his ass kicked he lied and told Ranma he wanted to get home because he was worried about his dog's health? Ranma's definitely a dick as he proves on many occasions, but he treats Ryoga better than the dude deserves most of the time.
Edit: I dunno if things are different in the anime, but in the manga that's definitely the case.
9717184
true, but lets face it, there's not a single one of that cast save Kasumi who's innocent
9717202
Lol, that's absolute truth.
9717202
Well, to be fair, Kasumi DID do some evil. I mean, she was slightly less courteous when the oni possessed her.
I know, absolutely heinous!
Also, because it was pointed out that Ukyo's English VA and Starlight Glimmer's VA are the same person, I can't help but now imagine Starlight wandering around with a combat spatula strapped to her back and a strange affinity for cooking pizza.
Humm. So you made him a pony. I would have thought you would leave him stuck as a piglet or something. Automatic transformation upon landing in Equestria? And I guess the Jusenkyo curse trump all of this.
And there seems to be some kind of auto-translation going on and it gives funky result with Japanese.
I spotted two error:
"The last few parties he had been to had been the Saltome Christmas party,"
Saotome
"The yellow and pink one; and the blue and rainbow haired one had wings."
Pinky doesn't have wings.
9730597
yellow and pink one means fluttershy with her pink hair, but thanks for the catch. and no he just thinks he fell in another spring some where and this is the new cursed form.
That's awesome
The plot thickens.
I'll be waiting for the next release.
.......
InB4 LunaXRyoga shipping, by the way.
Now, what's the most interesting way for him to defeat Nimmy?
I wanna' say that he's still got his curse, just that he hasn't been splashed with cold water yet to turn him into a piglet. At which point the adorable black piglet roflstom- er... Terrorizes the night terror that is Nightmare Moon.
"HREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
"WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?! AAHHH!!! IT'S BITING ME!!! GETITOFF GETITOFF! GETITOFF!"
The eternal lost boy ending up in Equestria... I'm not sure about his ponification (tho I can see that wouldn't phase him too much knowing his curse), but I'm curious as to where you're going with this.
9734053
I'm rather curious where i'm going with this too. It was a random idea that came up one day and i had a few things of note to do, but beyond that it's all pretty open. i'm not doing a every episode thing with him. Like in Ranma 1/2 he's gonna wander off a bit before popping back up again.
Haven't read any of this fic yet; but my first thought on seeing the cover pic was that Ryoga got so lost that he ended up in Equestria
9796100
Got it in one
9717184
The anime makes Ranma more of a dick, however his actions and reactions are usually justified especially when you take into consideration his previous encounters with any of the other characters.
9717202
While I wouldn't say Ranma is innocent I wouldn't say he's at fault either. Just about everything involving him is a misconception (usually by the other parties involved) or the fault of his old man the frikkin' panda. There's more reasons for him being the main protagonist beyond his curse and combat abilities.
I forgot all about this story
From what I understand, Ryoga's attitude is not all that uncommon among wild hogs.
I can't help but wonder if the Fluttershy in this story is also a manga fan. I say this mostly because of the Nightmare Night episode where she had drawings of 90's anime characters as ponies, one of which was Ranma.
10077983
You can see pony-Ranma cardboard cutout on Daring Do con.
Nice banter from Ryoga in that fight. Nice to see a new chapter after so long! Just imagining the aftermath of this chapter from the pony side...
- Luna after transforming back from Nightmare Moon: Sister, my face really hurt...
- Twilight and the others are all depressed at the sacrifice that stranger did. They collect his effects so that they maybe give it to some next of kins when they find out who he was but Applejack got a nasty surprise when she pulled a muscle trying to lift that umbrella. It took all of Twilight magical might to move it back to Ponyville.
- Fluttershy swear she almost heard a pig crying some very rude words in the distance.
- Celestia is struck that someone unrelated died in her machinations to get her sister back. One more regret in the pile that is her long life.
10078103
True but Fluttershy wasn't there for that wereas in the Nightmare Night episode they were decorations she used that looked as if she had drawn them herself.
10078139
My point that Fluttershy back then doesn't just break the fourth wall or something. And that "Ranma" in some form exist in Equestria :).
Nowhere
Because it's cool
Clearly, I am not Black Snooty in this scene
Well, this update brightened my day.
Thank you sir, I was laughing out at the exchange - it was pure Ranma style.
I see a lot of "what", but where is the "is love?"?
