(Harry Potter Universe)

Gryffindor
Tenjou Utena
Kiryuu Touga
Tsuchiya Ruka
Tsuwabuki Mitsuru
Dios

Hufflepuff
Arisugawa Juri

Shinohara Wakaba
Mikage Souji
Kaoru Miki
Saionji Kyouichi
Takatsuki Shiori

Slytherin
Himemiya Anthy
Ohtori Akio

The ones I have inverted are ones I feel might belong in other house.

Pretty good, I think   I'm confident Touga belongs in Slytherin, though.  Wakaba feels very Hufflepuff to me -- the Hufflepuffs always seemed to be defined by the fact that no matter how hard they tried, they weren't as good as Gryffindors.

Shiori and Wakaba do feel they could belong in Hufflepuff but I wondered if their relationship with Juri and Utena defined their very being as Wakaba seemed to be quite popular with the general school population, Shiori was just a hunch.

Touga might have Slytherin traits but that wouldn't suit the image he likes to set for himself so like Harry Potter he would choose Gryffindor.

I've been meaning to get to it.

I totally have to give my take on the characters and their Houses now though:

Utena: Gryffindor
Anthy: Slytherin
Seitokai:
   Saionji: Gryffindor
   Miki: Ravenclaw
   Juri: Gryffindor
   Nanami: Slytherin
   Touga: Slytherin
   Ruka: Gryffindor
Black Rose Circle:
   Kanae: Hufflepuff
   Kozue: Ravenclaw
   Shiori: Hufflepuff
   Mitsuru: Slytherin
   Wakaba: Hufflepuff
   Keiko: Slytherin
Mikage: Ravenclaw
Mamiya: Slytherin
Akio: Slytherin

So yeah. Mostly Slytherins. But this is SKU, after all.

Pfah, noone here's read <i>Dune</i>? I banish all to the sandy wastes of Arrakis!

I've read it! And I agree fully Though I think you totally missed the Shadow Play Girls, who I think would be either part of the Spacing Guild or Bene Gesserit (and wouldn't THAT bring up a whole pile of musings about the links between Anthy and the girls?)

Shadowrun 4E anyone?

Utena: Sprawl-girl adept
Anthy: Elven joygirl with some kind of spirit pact with Dios, maybe
Juri: Orc gillette, maxed out on 'ware
Shiori: Shady fixer, higher Notoriety than is probably good (Enjoy your setup)
Touga: Mr. Johnson by trade, represents Akio and others
Saionji: Troll sprawl ganger
Nanami: Nightclub-frequenting socialite
Akio: Very old elven Triad Shan Chu
Mikage: Master mage
Ruka: Juri's old orc gang leader, fresh out of jail
Kozue: Chiphead skank
Miki: Dwarf hacker, hardware specialty, makes sure Kozue doesn't DL anything that fries her permanently
Wakaba: Utena's friend, does legwork for jobs, searches t3h Internets.
Tsuwabuki: Hacking prodigy
Mamiya: Simsense/VR program

Black Rose Sword Summoning: Since they get the skills of the people they take em from, maybe there's some kind of skillwire thing going on?

This was all impromptu, anyone got better ideas for any of these?  Anyways, I think it'd be pretty fun to have Utena running around trying to bring Revolution to 2070 Seattle, or Kozue looking for her next BTL fix, or Juri practicing her skill with a blade by skirmishing with the Ancients in the Redmond Barrens.  What do you guys think?

I'm not familiar with Shadowrun 4E but I do know a little bit of 2E and 3E. From what I know of those two... yeah, you're pretty spot on. Yay for Shadowrun.

An original setting!

RGU characters as...Magic: The Gathering cards?

God Damnit!

Maybe this is where it goes. I'm not sure. But it helps to have read the webcomic "8-bit Theater" and have played Final Fantasy 1 (the NES original incarnation) to know why I put everyone into these situations. Better yet, just Google it and visit Wikipedia's page on the Light Warriors and supporting cast of 8-bit Theater!

Utena -- White Mage
Touga -- Black Mage
Akio -- Black Mage's Atrociously Evil Side
Miki -- Red Mage
Juri -- Black Belt
Nanami -- Fighter
Anthy -- Sarda, the Wizard Who Did It
Mikage -- Bahamut
Mamiya -- Onion Kid
Shiori -- Thief
Wakaba -- Garland (don't ask why)
Keiko -- Vilbert von Vampire
Mitsuru -- Dr. Swordopolis
Kozue -- Megahedron
Kanae, Tatsuya, Mari and C-Ko -- The Real Light Warriors
Yuuko and Aiko -- Akbar and Jeff (I leave it to you to figure out who is who!)

Everyone Else -- Black Mage's various victims

Akio: Headmaster!

I was going to say something about questionable qualifications and supposing one should at least appear to follow rules if they're supposed to enforce them...then I remember Dumbledore pretty much lolz his way around rules whenever it suits him, and pretty constantly totally overrides the points system to his favor.

Touga's still sleeping with him though. I just hope he didn't have to climb over Snape to get there.

(OR DO I HOPE???)

My thing about sorting SKU characters into HP houses is that we have to remember that one gets sorted based on one of the following:

a) some dormant personality trait that needs to be brought out or put to the test
b) qualities you value the most
c) where you actually want to go, provided you can argue the Hat into submission
