Gender: Ranma was born a man, but after falling into a cursed spring in China, cold water turns him into a girl. Hot water turns him back into a guy.
Race: Human
Alliance: Neutral
Home: Tokyo, Japan
Franchise: Ranma, Ranma 1/2
Physical Description: Ranma is a medium-to-tall guy who does not look majorly muscular, but definently has some muscles to him. His hair is black colored and pulled back in a martial-artist style braid. His eyes are blue, but not the usual male's narrow shape, though they're by no means tall. When he becomes a girl, however, "she" is shorter and has a better build. Guys would look mainly at her chest and that's all I have to say on that. Her eyes are still blue, but they're more girlish in appearence. Her hair is still a martial-artist braid, but the color changes from black to red. Clothes vary. He/She tends to wear male's clothing, but when in his/her female form, he/she may wear women's clothing when it benefits him/her or if he/she owes someone, specifically Nabiki and Happosai, something that involved him/her wearing female clothing.
Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on, but usually just his fists and feet.
Abilities/Powers: Ranma has amazing strength, speed, determination, and resolve. He can also use chi-energy, though he doesn't use it often because, unlike characters of the DBZ universe, it takes a lot out of one in the Ranmaverse to use chi attacks.
Skills: Martial Arts, Fighting
Personality: To describe Ranma is a pretty hard thing to do. Wikipedia has his personality, but it's pretty long. For the full article, go here.

It takes up four slots. There's Personality, Fears, Love Life, and Sexuality.
History: This is copied from Wikipedia as well, but it's short thankfully.
Ranma, the only son of Genma and Nodoka Saotome, was taken from his home by his father when approximately 2 years old, to begin a 13-14-year training trip to perfect his skills in the martial arts.
While he was still a child, he befriended Ukyo Kuonji, the daughter of a travelling okonomiyaki chef and martial artist, although he was unaware that she was a girl. Genma engaged Ranma to Ukyo in exchange for her father's food cart, but he abandoned Ukyo and ran off with the cart without ever telling Ranma about the engagement or correcting him about Ukyo's real gender.
Later, near the end of the trip, Genma took Ranma to a training ground in China named Jusenkyo that few people used, due to the springs being cursed. Falling into them would transform a person into whatever first fell in. Not knowing this, and not having the patience to listen to a warning from the local guide, Genma attempted to train with Ranma atop the bamboo poles which jutted up out of the pools. When Ranma knocked Genma into Shonmaoniichuan/"Spring of 'Drowned' Panda", he was surprised to watch a panda emerge from the pond and leap onto one of the poles. Genma, now cursed, was able to hit a surprised Ranma into Nyannichuan (Ni¨¢ngn¨ªqu¨¢n ÄïÄçȪ), or the "Spring of 'Drowned' Girl". Thus he turns into a female version of his original form when splashed with cold water, which is only (temporarily) reversible through contact with hot water.
Before this incident, Genma had made an arrangement with his best friend Soun Tendo that Ranma would marry one of Soun's daughters and carry on the Tendo Dojo. After learning of Ranma's condition, Soun's daughters Kasumi and Nabiki began to insist that Ranma choose their younger sister Akane, and rationalised that a tomboy would be a more appropriate fiancee for a man who transforms into a woman. Although Akane and Ranma were initially unwilling to be engaged, they develop feelings for each other, while generally struggling to deny or otherwise avoid openly expressing throughout the entire series.
Genma with a young Ranma just before they began their training tripRanma and Genma moved in as houseguests of the Tendo dojo. Since then, Ranma has endured, among other things, Amazons, old rivals, Dojo destroyers, and even evil demons. Female Ranma has also received a few male suitors, such as Tatewaki Kuno and Mikado Sanzenin.
After receiving a letter from his wife, Genma revealed that he had promised that Ranma would return "a man among men", and that if he failed, they would commit seppuku, a suicidal ritual. Therefore, in order to meet his mother without dying, Ranma changed into a girl during her visit, and presented himself as "Akane's cousin Ranko," accompanied by her pet, "Mr. Panda."
Ranma made several attempts to talk to his mother without revealing his curse, to prove his manliness, but was generally stopped by Genma, and after being caught cross-dressing, he had to pretend to peek on Akane taking a shower to show his manliness. Eventually, after he saved her life, Nodoka accepted Ranma as a boy despite the curse.
