Now I do feel the need to re-ask you now that everyone who's applied so far is either approved or more-or-less ready to be approved, but you're all prepared for segments of this roleplay to just be character-driven, right? It won't be Part III's 80% punching formula (as much as I love it), there are going to be segments where they're just trying to solve the mystery, or generally just sort of... loitering. This also means you might be doing some collabs, too.

By all means am I more than happy to play along in the lulls, that quiet life. I've been in far too many RPs that drag on and become stale through the endless amounts of combat. Though the JoJo setting surely spices that up to be far more interesting. Nevertheless, I do tend to love simple character interactions. All good to me!

Also, very glad to see that you like Jules, shall I pop him over on the character tab then?

Certainly, be my guest! I should likely do the same, I'm still acclimating to the new layout.

I'm certainly down for her bein' a member of the Bratva, but I feel like I should say that if that's the case, (i) I'll be playing her father (for later plot reasons) and (ii) She isn't necessarily in regular contact with The Zodiac Killers, either - they're daddy's toys. Is that alright? If so, we're grand.
Glad to see you back, though! Maybe we'll arrange Ram Jam to appear as an NPC, that'd be a fun little easter egg.

The character portion is approved, but I'm marginally concerned about the stand. Not because I think it'll be OP but because I'm vaguely worried it might be less powerful than you desire? Most of the story will follow The Rats so you might not find much in the way of opportunities to create the horde you might so desire. But once we've parsed that part out, we can add you to the CS tab.

NOTE: I feel as though I should mention I'm a fairly competent Russian speaker, if you ever want me to put things into Cyrillic for you (because anglicised Russian never does look quite right) I'm always happy to translate whatever ends up in my PMs.


Awesome! Glad to be back ^^

As for her Stand, I can also see that being a problem unless she's just like stealthily dropping hairs in everyone's food all the time lol. That being said, she already has a small group at school (who once again are not the B-Rats) "indoctrinated" by her Stand, and granting herself and the Rats superhuman Stand strength in addition to their own Stands is already a somewhat potent ability, just not an OP one. Maybe in order to beef it up I could add some kind of telepathy or something in addition to the brainwashing? The easiest buff of course would be to just remove the part about how the Stand gets weaker the more it splits up its power, but I'll leave that to your discretion.

Also that'd be great. I was thinking the same thing, honestly (the part about anglicized Russian never looking quite right I mean). Do all the phrases and insults I have listed in the sheet check out, btw?

I get ya, man- we gotta carve out this story for ourselves. I'll try not to let you down. I just hope I can actually nail down how I can best express the character I'm creating here.

But without further ado, here's the finished sheet!
I would've liked to include reference pictures, but I didn't use any and can't be arsed to find good depictions.

Any more biker jackets and pompadours and I think we'll end up collapsing the RP into some sort of delinquent singularity.

Like at this point we have so many delinquents we're gonna start needing some sort of hierarchy (with Corey at the top of course) xD

Ah, but isn't that the point? Like Passione, the gangsters that all ended up being good guys somehow?
Besides, I'm the one guy that doesn't have a pompadour- *kicked*

Well, I'm all in for round two. I'll have my sheet up sometime today or tomorrow, just want a little bit of time to check back over the old one and fine-tune as necessary.

In the meantime, here's a little something special for whoever hasn't seen it.

JoJos?
JoJos.
JoJos!

I'm throwing together character ideas... don't have anything too solid at the moment. Maybe a more innocent/peaceful girl who ends up hanging with the Rats because... well, they're rude and brash, but stand users gotta stick together and they're not actually bad people.

I've got three concepts for stands too.
Material Girl: Animate and act through nearby cloth. Maybe turn the user into cloth too, but that might be a bit too Jolyne. Even if she is the best JoJo.
Spice Girls: A quintet of elementals, one of which is the true stand, the rest are illusory duplicates
Seven Seas of Rhye: Something water based? I just like the song. I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours!

I'll probably have something more solid after browsing safebooru for a bit and getting a good pic. Feedback appreciated though.

I'm swayed towards Seven Seas of Rhye just because of how much I love the song.

Would it be alright if I was the sister of one of the Stand Killer's victims? Unless I've missed something, they've not all been named, but I don't know what you've got behind the GM's curtain.

So far, I'm thinking that from a family of Stand users, Mercury Deacon and the earth-shattering Stand 'We Will Rock You' was killed, and her sister Taylor May with 'Seven Seas of Rhye' is determined to get to the bottom of it. Family surname pending, but Queen seems a bit too on-the-nose. Maybe that's the out-of-town matriarch's stand...

I quite like this image for inspiration http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=913333 and I see Taylor May as a fairly successful student, on her way to follow her big sister into college. She doesn't get into trouble, or act out beyond the usual teenage rebellion. Her electric guitar probably wouldn't be her parents' first choice, but playing an instrument does look good on college applications...

Seven Seas of Rhye appears as a green-blue trident-wielding mermaid, with a large numeral '7' in place of a face. It has a 'territory' effect with seven distinct abilities. The size of the territory and the available abilities is dependent on the amount of water nearby for SSoR to act through.

'I descend upon your earth from the skies' - Water is pulled from the atmosphere, encouraging it to rain. Area and intensity of rain depends on available moisture.
'I command your very souls you unbelievers' - Taylor May controls water around her, including water inside people, though other Stand-users are immune to this aspect.
'I stand before you naked to the eyes' - The Stand manifests, ready to fight
'Storm the master-marathon I'll fly through' - Requires a heavy rain storm, Taylor May can fly within her territory
'By flash and thunder-fire I'll survive' - Requires a lightning storm, adding thunder and lightning to Taylor May's arsenal
'Then I'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive' - Requires a lightning storm, Taylor May controls the water in cells to rapidly heal wounds to herself and allies
'I'll take you to the Seven Seas of Rhye' - Requires a hugely intense storm, SSoR becomes a whirlpool pulling foes inside itself to churn, toss and eventually drown them if it's not soon defeated.

I have all the victims' names down already but if you'd like she could be an estranged sibling, hence the name change. Think you might have a bit much going on stand-wise, though, as much as I like your thinking.

Not at all, it exists mainly as a means of justifying the presence of so many stand users.
