[hider=Rudol Von Stroheim] [b]Name:[/b] Rudol Von Stroheim [b]Age:[/b] Unknown [b]Gender:[/b] Male Cyborg [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=without showing off his cybernetics][img]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/6/6e/C9_c1.png/revision/latest?cb=20130416145746[/img][/hider] [hider=cyborg - gun can retract into his body][img]https://40.media.tumblr.com/f45629cbc513bc5735d2f2577ad27fd1/tumblr_nigwqk7Vu31shg8mio1_500.png[/img][/hider] [b]Canon, AU, or OC?:[/b] Canon [b]Universe of Origin:[/b] JoJo's bizarre adventure part 2 - Battle Tendency. [b]Personality:[/b] Eccentric, brave and incredibly loyal to his cause, while not being afraid to be cruel or antagonistic to serve his nationalistic endeavours, Stroheim is absolutely dedicated to his honour as a German soldier, so much so that he was willing to give away anything that made him human for the good of his mission. While Stroheim may be a Nazi, and can be incredibly selfish, he is not without honour and is not without self sacrifice, having put his own life at risk, fully prepared to die for an american dog simply so the world would not be destroyed, this proves he is not blind to the grand scheme of things, and always looks to the bigger picture. His eccentric personality comes from his power, his weaponry and his grand fascination with German Science, and will display in every shape, form and way why it is the best in the world with his newly enhanced cyborg body. With every step he gracefully displays himself with arrogance, and is incredibly confident in his ability to destroy his foe. [b]Abilities/Weapons:[/b] [center][b]"My body is... THE PEAK OF ARYAN SCIENCE! A TRUE UBERMENSCH! Take this Kars! This heavy machine gun can fire 600 rounds per minute through a 30mm armor plate! Each bullet will spall off a piece of your body! I WILL TEAR YOU TO PIECES LIKE I WOULD PLUCK A CHICKEN!"[/b] - Stroheim[/center] [b]Cyborg body:[/b] As stated before, Stroheim possesses a cyborg body made entirely of incredibly durable and protective metals which can protect against many types of firearms, which benefits his ability to take physical blows, the metal can protect him from harm much more than a regular human could protect himself against a brutal punch, though this only works for physical attacks such as swords punches and bullets, not magic. This Cyborg body allows his physical ability and his speed to be an improvement over normal human beings, while also giving him increased and unnatural flexibility, giving him a better chance of survival against stronger more supernatural foes. [b]Abdominal machine gun:[/b] A machine gun inside Stroheim's stomach region, able to shoot 600 armored bullets per minute, and capable of piercing a 30-millimetre steel plate, this weapon is his second method of attacking his foe, and is incredibly deadly at close range, but loses its hit ratio the further the opponent moves away due to its massive spread, it also cannot fire for very long.

[hider=Radiation beam][img]http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/6-12-2015/IThK9v.gif[/img][/hider] [b]Ultraviolet Shoulder Cannons:[/b] Used for battling those sensitive to light or better yet, vampires. These ultra violet floodlights are mounted on each of Stroheims shoulders and can blast a powerful ultra violet ray and burn foes alive, making them less powerful than the eye beam but with a wider area covered. Against normal opponents, these will act as damaging beams which will quickly burn foes who stand within his radius, but consume a "timer", and must be recharged should the battery power of his USC's run out, they can also instantly stun enemies and blind them with how bright the USC's shine their rays. [hider=shoulder cannons][img]http://i.imgur.com/9YtryJC.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Projectile Hand:[/b] Using his mechanical body, he can propel his hand outward which can impale and deeply wound one of his foes like a large bullet. [hider=projectile hand][img]http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/6-12-2015/0v9nBp.gif[/img][/hider] [b]grenades:[/b] Standard WW2 german grenades can be used to bombard opponents. [hider=grenades][img]http://i.imgur.com/NYtaX.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Army of one:[/b] Deep inside his body he can shoot out a wide range of weapons such as machineguns, rocket launches, snipers and other weapons deep inside of him, and use these to lay a besiege of firepower down on his foes. While he lacks if mystical defences, he makes up for the ability to hurt his foes greatly with long and short range. [hider=Army of one][img]http://media.tumblr.com/30dabb586f9b5c3854fca6207c236691/tumblr_inline_mtavqeRw5X1sn2jje.gif[/img][/hider] [b]Backstory:[/b] Not much at all is known about anything from Stroheims backstory, having always been known as a man who has served the Nazi Regime, he sought to use cruel and inhumane ways to further benefit the Nazi party, such as attempting to reawaken an ancient vampire god, to use as a weapon to win the war for the Germans in 1938. The vampire like gods however were not interested in co-operating and sought mankinds complete erratication, so as his dreams would not be dashed, he teamed up with Joseph Joestar, an american to defend the world against one of these vampire gods, and blew himself up along with the vampire, intending on killing the monster along with himself, for his country, even so much as complimenting his sworn american enemy before his "death". It turns out that the vampire god was in fact one of the weakest, and three more were soon to be summoned out of their long sleeps. In the nick of time, Stroheim returns, and supports a fully cyborg mechanical body, and along with Joseph joestar fights to save the world from having their species wiped out, and succeed in defending the world. Stroheim would eventually return back to the war, and years later would die an honourable death in the battle of Stalingrad. However the Stroheim of this multiverse will be of him before his death, just after the defeat of the vampiric gods, between the 4-5 years of 1938 - 1943/1944.

Personality: Cocky, confident, and brave in all areas, Joseph Joestar is a hero, a man who doesn't give up and is entirely capable of defending the world with intellect, tactics and wits and isn't afraid to use every dirty trick in the book to win, even if it means running away from his opponent. Joseph Joestar is both loving and courageous, and doesn't show the slightest ounce of fear. While he may appear like a cocky brat, Joseph Joestar's main strength is the confidence for a better tomorrow, a jerk with a heart of gold, he will stop at nothing to ensure that everyone is safe, including his grandmother Erina. He can become a main motivator for others around him and will do what he can to put his comrades at a safe place, let him handle the fight. Abilities/Weapons: [Hider=NEXT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY!] Next you're going to say!: When a battle is going in his favour, when he has his opponent right where he wants him to spring a trap or to turn the fight around and give him a chance to survive, Joseph Joestar is a master of prediction, and is able to correctly predict next phrase his opponent will say. This use of prediction gives him a chance to activate his trap, or turn a scenario (if realistically possible) in his favour as it confuses and shocks his opponent in surprise. example shown here: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkbRxzp7T9M[/url] [/hider] [hider=Hamon] Hamon/Sendo/Ripple: Hamon uses the suns rays through careful breathing and bepowering ones own body with ripples of solar energy, and while it greatly affects vampires, zombies and many other undead, it can also affect non living things and normal people. If an object is charged with Hamon, it may become more dangerous, and using ones own techniques, one can generate a very flexible fighting style. The power of Hamon can also be transferred to other people, as a last resort before death, essentially giving ones life force to their ally. The power of Hamon allows a user to reject substances deemed harmful by ejecting it from their very bloodstream using Hamon energy and is very adapted to using through wet surfaces, becoming an electric like power, such as channeling Hamon through greasy wet hair, to turn the individual hairs into sharp knives or projective barriers. Many warriors using Hamon use weapons not normally fit for combat because of the Ripples unique fighting style such as scarfs, bubbles, wine and in Josephs case, Clackers, (steel balls attached to a rope). Many techniques of the Ripple are commonly refered to as Overdrives and our colour named depending on the item they are used with such as Metal Silver for transmitting hamon energy through a sword and melting it. One could also charge hamon through a wall and strike the enemy behind it as the hamon energy shoots through and assaults the opponent. Liquids are very good at conducting with Hamon, as the hamon shows up as a ripple on liquids themselves, and allows the user to walk on water by increasing the surface tension, including stuff such as oil, which makes it much easier to conduct. One can only charge hamon around their body to form a potential shield of Hamon energy, to deal damage to does who hit them physically with powerful solar energy.

Joseph Joestar is not one of the unlucky ones, and instead Canologically lives to a very old age. Joeseph Joestar as a young boy moved to the city of new york with his grandmother Erina, and possesses the power of Hamon, a skill that involves the use of the suns power, a type of Martial art to increase ones physical strength, control their ageing and other abilities. When he finds that his grandfathers best friend, Speedwagon has been presumibly killed, Joseph is attacked by Vampires, and comes face to face with the one who may have killed speedwagon, an old friend of his grandfathers, straits. In the battle Straits ends up committing suicide, but not before giving information to Joseph involving Speedwagon, it turns out, Speedwagon was currently alive and being held by the Nazi Regime, under orders of Stroheim and goes to Mexico to rescue him when he comes into contact with Stroheim, and his mad plan to ressurect ancient vampire godlike beings, of course stroheims plan doesn't work as well as he thought, and with the pillar men, these vampiric godlike beings desiring to destroy mankind, Stroheim and Joseph team up, defeating the pillarmen at the cost of stroheims life. With Speedwagon safe, Joseph returned the good news to his grandmother Erina, but not before heading to rome, where three other pillarmen lie sleeping, ready to awaken from their sleep but not before meeting his new rival, another Hamon warrior named Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, a smug, slightly narcissistic man who possesses far greater ability in Hamon/the ripple than Joseph does. Caesar unfortunately has to show Joseph how to control the ripple, but it isn't too long until they must search for the Pillarmen and put a stop to them before their resurrection, using italy's nazi contacts to find the tomb where they lie, they arrive too late, and the pillarmen reawaken, Wamuu, AC/DC and Cars, almost killing caesar and Joseph in the process. One pillarmen, Wamuu lodges a poisonous ring in Josephs heart and his throat, giving him one month, if he does not defeat the pillarmen Wamuu in one month, he will die. With no other method to turn to, Caesar introduces Joseph to LisaLisa, a master in Hamon and teaches Joseph to master the ripple, along with Caesar so that they may protect a stone, guarded by the Hamon tribe for many generations, the Red Stone of Aja, a power so strong that if given to the pillarmen, would cause the world to end, as they would become invincible. On the final day of their training, the Pillarman - AC/DC finds them, and attempts to steal the red stone, but with quick wit, and more importantly, luck, Joseph is able to kill AC/DC in time but not before the red stone has already been mailed to switzerland by the pillarman. With AC/DC dead, it only left Wamuu and Cars alive, but they needed to reach the stone before they did, and so, Caesar, Joseph and LisaLisa travel and search for the stone, only to find themselves reuniting with Stroheim, now possessing a fully cyborg form, the two encounter Cars and quickly battle, and in the process, Stroheim is defeated, and unable to recover, but not before making sure the Red Stone is out of his reach. Joseph then uses his skills to bury Cars, stalling him from reaching the red stone, which now lays safely in Josephs hands. The group then find their base of operations and decide to wait on daylight so that they would be weaker, caesar refuses, and enters anyway, battling Wamuu alone out of honours sake, but is killed in the process, but not before snatching the antidotes for Josephs poisons. When the group reach caesars corpse, they grieve, but Joseph refuses to take the antidote, not until he defeats Wamuu and upholds an honourly mannerism. They eventually fight, leading to the death of Wamuu and his poisons healed. The final battle then comes, Cars, tricking them into believing he would be honourable, incapacitates LisaLisa, and steals the red stone, summoning an army of vampires to kill them all, however, Stroheim, along with Speedwagon arrive in the nick of time, and obliterate them with UV light. In the chaos however, Cars uses the stone, and becomes an Ultimate being, which is 100% Vincible. Joseph decides to fight Cars alone and using a jet, is able to lead him to an active volcano. In the process of their battle, Joseph loses his left hand, but using his wits and luck, the volcano blasts cars into the atmosphere and into space, with Josephs hand snatching his neck and disorientating Cars for a split second, which throws cars so far into space, he simply never returns to earth, and without feeling, thought or energy, ceases to think, becoming hollow and without life, defeating Cars forever. The group presume Joseph to be dead, only for him to return and greet them at his own funeral, without knowing what is actually going on. Once he finds out, he yells in complete disbelieve, ending the story of Battle Tendency. He never met Stroheim again... ((Until this multiverse occurred.
