It is the year 2014. Humanity has grown in leaps and bounds, surviving war and natural disaster alike. The march of technology is steady, and prosperity has finally been glimpsed at the end of a long, dark tunnel. Though it is plagued by shortages and starvation and a myriad of setbacks, the world is ready to grasp true peace in its long overdue shining tomorrow!

Yet, darkness has grown as well. In the shadows made by this new growth, old demons have been given room to rise up once more. Even as good triumphs over evil again and again, it lingers until it can truly be eradicated. In particular, an old source of power, the last of its kind, has finally resurfaced after spending years hidden away from light and darkness alike. Now that it has reappeared, those who waited patiently have taken notice. Plans years in the making are finally coming to fruition, and the key is up for grabs! Only one can have it! Only one can win, and shape the delicate future!

To use that key, a certain power is needed. A power that requires an exceptional amount of personal strength and willpower. Yes, to use that key, one must have a Stand, something only a few people in the world possess, even fewer still have tamed!




Dear stand user,
My sources tell me that you have powers like no other, you have psychic-like abilities which the normal eye cannot see. This is why I am seeking you, I have had years of training and development over this supernatural virtue and we can help you reach the peak of your abilities and powers. This unique gift is called a 'Stand', it is a reflection of one's soul and spirit; these are called Stands because they protect their users like a guardian angel and they are 'Standing' by the user. They usually empower an individual, defend or wield and use unique and bizarre abilities. I write to you as I believe we here, at TYGER, can help you progress further and help you understand how to use all the abilities your Stand has to offer.
I call for you in this time of need as we need as I'm afraid something drastic has happened. The tomb of Pharaoh Atum Ra the Hellbound has been discovered and excavated under the pyramids of Giza. He is my great ancestor and he is slowly gaining the strength after his thousand year imprisonment in his tomb. If he rises and he gains full power, everything will dwindle into chaos. As you see Atum Ra has developed a Stand and it threatens to destroy mankind.
With his might and endurance he has already awakened. Sources tell me that there is a mystical, object with much power imbued into it it is reliable enough to destroy Atum Ra. There have been outbreaks of this artifact being used by the Pharaoh and has created armies of Stand users to do his bidding; the first and foremost command is to annihilate all Stand users there are.
Remember, a Stand can only defeat another Stand user.

Quick few little things. First things first, an alias is another name you go by other than your own. There's that out of the way.

You didn't describe your Stand, second off. What does it look like?

Thirdly, and I don't know if it applies here, but it's sort of Jojo tradition that time related Stands are reserved for villains. There's been like a single instance of a time Stand not being held by the main villain, and even then it belonged to an important minor one.

You also forgot the one where Stands are named after musical songs, artists, or albums, and in some cases tarot cards, rather than their abilities.

nerminator, by the User's skills//abilities: that means the skills the user has, such as acrobatics, skillswith picklocking/pickpocketing and stuff like that. Also, I thinkt that the Stand's power is a little OP and don't think it wouldwork well.

I figure we should start by arriving at wherever it is TYGER is based, and Egypt was my best guess. I mean, not arriving at their headquarters itself but maybe meeting on the way? On a boat or plane. Though I guess it doesn't really matter, seeing as Stand users tend to be drawn together by fate.
Full Name: James Maury Rodgers

Alias: Jim the Magic Man, J.M. Rodgers

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Occupation/Status: Children's Show Host and Writer

Skills/Abilities: Painting, puppeteering, child psychology, writing, magic and slight of hand.

Appearance: A tall, slightly pudgy man, with long brown hair and a big but well kept beard. He wears a long white coat, clean pressed pants, and a large top-hat. Each of these is dotted with pictures that look as though they were drawn on with children crayon, depictions of things like clowns, flowers, candy, animals, nature, fantastic creature, cars, all crudely drawn wherever someone could find space. Under this he wears a soft red wool sweater. His belt buckle is two hands joined together in brotherhood.

Likes: Children, education, reaching peaceful solutions, fruit.

Dislikes: Violence, ignorance

Fears: None that stand out.

Bad Habits: Has a tendency to be direct and straightforward with children while speaking down to adults. His can get lost in his own imagination.

Personality: James is a optimist first and foremost, sincerely believing that there is good even in the most wicked hearts. There is no black and white to morality in his view, just white that has been tarnished, and he is always respectful to anyone he meets. He empathizes for other people tremendously, unable to turn away and ignore suffering. He will use any situation he's in as an opportunity to educate, but is a showman and will go about it in an bombastic way. He always goes about his business with enormous enthusiasm.

History: James grew up in the southern United States, and was an imaginative child even then. As he grew older he became interested in puppetry, a hobby that landed him a job on pubic access cable during his teenage years. Becoming a local celebrity through his puppets, he worked repeatedly with very young children and grew to love the way they viewed the world. Dedicating himself to education and entertainment he worked and worked until he got the opportunity to pitch his own show to the Public Broadcasting Station, a pitch that was helped by his Stand power and its ability to show them exactly what he pictured it being. All the while he wrote children books, often with the moral of understanding and accepting people who were different.

Stand
Name: Rainbow Connection

Namesake: The Rainbow Connection, The Muppet Movie

Appearance: A clownish looking frog the size of a mans head, with big red cheeks and a large star-like mane around it's neck. The colors of the frog are constantly shifting and changing and moving, like a psychedelic tie-dye lava lamp.

Abilities: Rainbow Connection Can jump between two people at high speed, connecting them with a rainbow chain. So long as at least two people are connected by the chain they will each see and experience what the other imagines as though it were happening in real life. This effect can be extended with multiple consecutive jumps, with each person in the chain seeing what is imagine by every other person in the chain. Rainbow Connection must leap directly between people to connect them via the rainbow chain. If it lands on anything but another person the chain is considered complete and no one else may be added to it.

Alias: Sammy, Hunter

Gender: Male

Occupation/Status: 'Accountant', 'Business Man', Thief for Hire

Skills: Good with numbers, Acrobatic and agile, pick-pocketing, high level thievery.

Appearance: A man of unassuming build and looks. Stands about 5'8'' with the sort of body one would suspect of a runner or biker, though it is often difficult to tell exactly how in shape he is as he often is wearing as suite that reveals little about him. The suit itself is expensive and custom designed for him, though looking at it not many would consider it particularly fashionable, A gaudy emerald green number often paired with bright gold buttons and cufflinks. Black, thick framed glasses almost always adorn his face and his hair is swept back and jelled down, giving him a sleek professional look.

Likes: Business, Numbers, precious stones and metals, wealth

Dislikes: Beggars, Barrowers, and lenders.

Fears: Poverty and dogs of large size.

Bad Habits: He is incredibly stingy and harsh when it comes to matters of finance and money. He makes a great deal moving wealth around for his clients but as his assistants will point out he could be making almost twice that if he didn't call potential clients of either of his businesses complete fools for some of their requests.

Personality: Samson isn't so much polite as he is professional. He is shrewd, discerning, and when it comes to matters of business he takes no matter lightly. He cares greatly for those he considers trust worth and dependable, going to great length to keep them from getting into forms of trouble brought about by their line of work. But he is just as likely to drop you like dead weight at the first sign of foul play dishonest behavior. He has a unique code of conduct and honor and his strictly adherent to it.

History: Samson grew up poor and destitute. His father a gambler and his mother a drunk. Money, safety, or stability were not parts of his life growing up. He did his best to keep food on the table himself by pick pocketing and working his way up to thievery. Eventually his mother drank herself to death and the father simply disappeared, likely due to gambling debt. Samson, no longer having all his earning taken from him, actually saved enough to put himself through school and went on to Establish 'Huntsfield Accounting' a large and successful 'perfectly league' accounting firm. Samson and his personal team are among the more skilled and 'trustworthy' money movers in the world. Able to make money disappear and be untraceable to its original owner. He only takes clients who are owners of large business, politicians, and other forms of rich individuals. He makes it a very stern rule to not move around mob money and has fired members of his company who tried to convince him otherwise or do it behind his back. Though he does work with the underworld from time to time. He will often offer his services as a cat burglar to the criminal leaders as apology for not providing his other services, and those who have taken him up on the offer are often pleased with the results and the fair price.

Stand

Name: All That Glitters

Namesake: Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Appearance: Inhumanly lanky and skinny in build, like a living scarecrow of sorts. Its build is not perfectly symmetrical, its right arm being nearly the length of its whole body ending in wickedly sharp claws. Over all its appearance seems jagged and inhospitable to behold. Its more minute features are difficult to make out as its coloring is a swirling, changing pattern of pitch black and bright gold, besides its general shape only its bright golden eyes are its constant feature.

Ability: The Manipulation of Light. Using its over sized right hand it can rend large masses of light from the area the claws pass through, creating patches of deepest dark. These patches of dark will remain intact until a new source of light is directed onto it ( flashlight, candle light, open a window to allow a sunbeam to cross its path, ect ) With its left hand it can re-purpose the light into dazzling flashes or shapes.

Full Name: Dominic Batista

Alias: N/A

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Occupation/Status: Dancer

Skills/Abilities: Long distance running, backpacking, hitch hiking.

Appearance: Dominic stands at an imposing 6'5" boasting a body that is completely covered in muscles. He has light green eyes, and dark skin. His hair is done in dreadlocks, coming down into a ponytail at the back. Each strand of the dreadlocks are dyed the different colors of the rainbow, alternating in those colors. His usual garb consists of a tie-dyed what appears to be a halter top. Tied around his waist is a gray hoodie, with the sleeves knotted over Dominic's stomach. He wears a pair of dark cargo jeans rolled up at the bottom to reveal his socks. In place of a belt, Dominic wears a series of white shoe laces tied together. He wears a pair of white canvas high rise shoes with ankle high rainbow colored socks. A myriad of multicolored bracelets cover either of Dominic's forearms.

Likes: Jesus.

Dislikes: People with too much "advice",

Fears: The devil

Bad Habits: Dominic is completely self serving. He does nothing unless it is convenient to him, and will deny help to others unless it benefits him somehow.

Personality: The first thing noticeable about Dominic is his incredibly loud mouth. He can stick out in a room filled with people, his voice capable of projecting across a football stadium if need be. He is scheming and tends to keep secrets in order to maintain advantage over people. Despite this, Dominic is incredibly showy. If he has nothing to lose, Dominic will divulge his plans explicitly so that his enemies can hear his genius. Dominic loves to hear compliments about himself, and always looks himself in the mirror, taking the time to pose before leaving the restroom.

History: Born in Sao Paulo, Dominic was raised by a pair of working class parents. His parents had met at Carnival, his mother actually being an American. Dominic's mother left when Dominic was ten years old. He had never seen her again, in spite of efforts to look for her. Dominic was incredibly poor growing up as well. His father, without a spouse, raised Dominic on his own for eight years and struggled to do so. Dominic had to take up a low paying job as well to support his father. As a child, Dominic was frequently picked on due to his green eyes, referring to him as "Limo" because of them. Dominic was raised to be strongly religious. When he was younger, faith was the last thing on Dominic's mind. It was a trip to Rio de Janeiro during a school field trip which made Dominic a firm believer. At the statue Cristo Redentor Dominic at first looked uneasy. His class mates picked on him, calling his reaction a sign that Dominic was a demon. He broke down, and in the emotional wreckage, Dominic's stand manifested for the first time.

Stand

Name: In Rainbows

Namesake: In Rainbows (Radiohead Album)
Appearance: In Rainbows is bound to the colors of the rainbow. In this way, Dominic has an effectively collective stand. Dominic can control seven at a time correspondent to a color of the rainbow. The all appear more or less the same. That is, a humanoid figure covered in full plate armor reminiscent of a crusader with a pair of wings at the side of its helmet. It lacks any apparent weapons. Each stand is monochromatic, in the same color as the color the stand was bound to. The size of the stand depends on the amount of color taken.
Abilities: In Rainbows absorbs color from a source, temporarily turning it pitch black. The exact strength of the stand depends on the amount of color taken to create the stand, the power directly proportionate to the amount of color taken. These colors must be red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet; or shades of those colors. A droplet of blood could make a stand about the size of said droplet with the strength of an ant. A large red brick wall, however, could make a human sized stand with the power of a lifting crane. In Rainbows is primed to attack when the user gives the command "Hue".

Name: In Rainbows Seven-to-One
Appearance: Seven to One takes the form of a large muscular humanoid roughly the same height and build of Dominic himself. Its body is white on one half, and black on the other, covered in a facade of black and white stars. It is white on the left and black on the right. It wears a large metal belt around its waist reminiscent of a wrestling championship belt. At the center is a medallion with stars carved into it. On the left side of the medallion is the word "Contrast"; on the right side reads the word "Saturation". There is a yellow cross at the center of the stand with its base at the medallion, its arms at the stand's shoulders. The left eye is a black ring, the right eye white. A blue line runs down the left eye down to the stand's jaw resembling a trail of tears. A red line mirrors on the right eye. Around the stand's neck is a collar of feathers. The stand has a rainbow colored halo.
Abilities: Between 7 AM and 1 PM relative to Dominic, Dominic can activate his stand ability: Seven to One. While Dominic's seven stands are all activated at once, he can change them all into one stand; hence the name Seven to One. While Seven to One is activated, Dominic can suspend a single person in time from 7 AM to 1 PM. The person's color, as well as the clothing the person happens to be wearing turns completely black, making the person look similar to a life-like statue of black marble. While the person is suspended in time, Dominic does not age. If Dominic does not have his stand completely active with all colors, Seven to One will not activate. If it is not between 7 and 1, Seven to One will not activate. At 1 PM, the person suspended in time will return to normal, and Dominic begins aging again as normal.
