OtakuNXS and affliates present... Note: The following teaser contains material that may spoil the upcoming fic for you, but if you have even a passing familarity with the series Tenchi Muyo: Ryo-Ohki, that's highly unlikely... relax and have a carrot. Those of you uniterested in being teased, promo'd, prologued, backscened or in fact do not take kindly to any means of foreshadowing/advertising whatsoever are best simply heading straight to the fic. BTW Although Pioneer and AIC own most of these characters, the following versions of the characters are our ideas alone, except for Seion. He's all mine! Ya here me?! MINE! mine-mine-mine-mine-mine! Oh, and so is Tetsuya. EPISODE 0.5: BISHONEN MUYO: KEN-OHKI!: BEHIND THE SCENES There is a place where demons dwell, venerable priestesses guard agaist them, and their grand-daughters unleash said Demons. The place is Japanese redneck, podunk mountain town..... THE BISHONEN MUYO PROJECT PRESENTS Grandma, what's down the hole? Past the locked gate... and the booby traps... and the alarm that says 'protected by Viper, stand back'? A Mad, Bad, Bishonen Lad Production... A genocidal madman from outer space with delusions of sanity and enough raw natural power to knock stars out of their orbit. Tenchi Muyo........like you've never seen it before..... It's a shame, I guess I'll never know who you really were. Heck, I never even got your name. BISHONEN MUYO: KEN-OHKI! Good night, Tenchi-hime... sweet dreams. I'll most likely kill you in the morning. PART 1: The Concept...... The guy who came up with the Idea: SEION Well, one day in the chatroom, we were just discussing various ideas for fan fiction. Just off hand, I said "what if Tenchi were a girl and all the aliens that showed up were men?" Keener (Parrot King) and I bounced the idea around for a good hour or so until we settled on our cast. PART 2: The Cast Tomo Sakurai as TENCHI MASAKI The Heroine.....and she's cute too. Tenchi is just your average Japanese high school girl living with her widowed mother Achika. Tenchi spends every summer with her grandmother Aeka at the Misaki Shrine in the mountains of Okayama. Now, as you already know from the legend, there is a cave near the shrine where a legendary princess fought and imprisoned a powerful demon. Ryutaro Okiayu as KAGATO The demon of the legend...... Imagine it, you're one of the most powerful beings in the universe, crushing stars like some lunk headed oaf might crumple beer cans against their forehead. Next thing you know, some figureless treehugger crams a plot device down your throat, and there you are, taking the ultimate dirt nap... bored out of your gord, plotting, fumming, schemeing. And then... along comes this... this... GIRL! Yumi Takada as AEKA Legendary Princess or Figureless Treehugger...? Grrrrrr... hmmm? I'm on? I play the grandmother in this tale. She has been filling her grandaughter's head with stories of demons, princesses, mighty weapons, and things about being a woman ever since she was a child. By this time, Tenchi has been training as a "shrine madien" for about 10 years - trainin that will help her out in her future encounters. Masami Kikuchi as YOUSHO His Royal Highness..... My character is very much the roguish prince of Jurai. He spends his time building ships in bottles and carving rather.....erotic sculptures of beautifull women. In fact, he has remade his Jurai Guardians into the shape of young, nubile women. Though what he plans on doing with them, I haven't the foggiest, I mean the splinters alone... yEesh... Still, he's got a good idea what his role is in these sorts of affairs, and if dragons he must slay and sleeping princesses he must kiss, he's all for it. If only he could find the elusive damsel, it's quite distressing. Oh, and his mother doesn't seem to like his pre-occupation with the opposite sex, but his little brother on the other hand.... Mifuyu Hiiragi as Sagami His Royal Hentainess..... (peeping in on Tenchi's dressing room) Oh yeah.....take it off baby....... (turns to note camera) wha? No, no interview, no comment... and oh my, no bra! SHAKE it don't break it... ACK! (WHAM, camera goes off to static) Sho Hayami as Tetsuya Kuramitsu Can you believe they gave him a badge and a gun? I've been in the business for years, but this is my first time acting. I was a stunt double for Zechs in Gundam Wing, Ken in the Street Fighter Movie, Terry Bogart in the Fatal Fan Service..I mean, Fatal Fury series, and Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid. So they tell me they have this character that's gonna be doing alot of pratfalls and wanted me as the stunt double. But the producers liked my performance so much they offered me the part, so this is in a sense my first acting job. Ai Orikasa as RYOKO a space pirate...... That's it? I get pegged as the villian and all I get in this behind the scenes is as much fanfare as a castaway on Gilligan's island? You guys are lucky you're paying with sake'... and the contractual agreement of lemony bliss with the male Tenchi... humph. Yuri Amano as Achika Mommy dearest...... As Tenchi's mother, I've got my work cut out for me. Somewhere between the 14th century views of grandmother Aeka, and the 1970's porno viewings of my dear sweet departed husband... is a good middle ground for my daughter. She'll need a little guidence... until she finds her own way of course. ( Scene from OAV #3) Keep that towel up dear, but stick them out as far as you can. What? What are you talking about. It's important when giving a preshow not to show too much, like a movie trailor. No need to give away the whole story, just a few glimpses of T&A and they should be hooked. MOTHER! And anyways, they're over there in the men's bath, it's not like they'll be peeping or anything. Tenchi... Tenchi, Tenchi... we are here at the hot springs, and there are young verile males over their... it'd be really rude for them NOT to peek. Tetsuya Iwanaga as SEION MAKIBI Basically I play the part of a cop trying to kill his incompetent partner. Having been a stuntman like my friend, I get hurt in nearly every production I've been a part of. (A few scenes from his past work appears, such as a scene where Jacky Chan kicks him in the groin, one where he is doing a stunt as Solid Snake's double and he gets attacked by a dog, one from Gundam Wing where he's Trowa's stand-in and blasted out of the Vayeate, and two from when he was Kintaro Oe's stand in and he get's his head stomped in by Madame President and where he's in "the bike race"... you can just barely make him out as he dissappears over the mammoth cliff) God, that stunt agent of ours seems like she's nuts sometimes. I don't know why I put up with her... (Mihoshi walks onscreen) Seion! You aren't appearing in this story until the Tetsuya Special! Now get over to the Tylor set! They need someone for Yuriko to slap through a door and I said you'd do it! Anything for you, my dear. ^o^ ...and of course... Ken-Ohki himself... as played by Tom Jones... Intergallactic Planet Smashing Rodent Miyah... baby! PART 3: The Crew Keener Barnes: Co-Creator, writer and director ... ... ahem... Danish? I'm pretty sure somebody said there would be cheese danishi galore here. I think it's in my contract, that with an agreement of lemony bliss with a female Ryouko... HEY! ...ohhhh, ah, nevermind... Seion's idea was a good one, one that I was perfectly willing to let him handle as I've got quite a few projects on standbye as is. Then somewhere along the way, we discussed not a simple gender flip, but actually slotting in Kagato and Yousho in the Ryouko and Aeka roles. Instead of interpreting the girls as boys, we found boys to play their roles... in their OWN fashion. And that's when it hit me... Teenaged Kagato. Six hours later, I had 44k of mismoshed crap, but it was fun crap. And, after the prereaders took their pound of flesh, I think what we have is a good story that the readers can enjoy. Honestly, the hardest part is going to be stepping back and letting the other authors take their turns. THE REST OF THE STAFF SO FAR Cyraqs K`thardin: Creative Consultant, Writer and Director War-ohki: Director of Pyrotechnics and H-doujin, Writer and Director And now, we bring to you a truely Monumental moment in the history of TENCH MUYO FAN FICTION. A Tale that's bigger than the Superbowl, the World Series, The Olympics, and Woodstock! The first Episode of BISHONEN MUYO: KEN-OHKI! (We don't wanna oversell it. Judge for yourself.)
