1. All the standard RP rules. C'mon, guys.

2. This isn't an 18+ game, so none of the things associated with that should be found here. We'll 'fade to black' if needed.

3. The way things work will be as consistent as possible within our universe. It may be tempting to say "But remember the Stand in Part X that worked X way," but while JoJo as a whole often loses and changes details, the rulings I make in this game, sometimes on the fly, will be the ones we use. Mind you, you're encouraged to let me know if I make a mistake that goes against something I myself said.

4. Auto-hitting and god-modding are no-nos, but if you mess up it'll just mean that what really happened gets clarified by me. There's likely to be a lot of times where the best your post can contain is what you're trying to do.

5. Put character sheets in the CHAR tab once I explicitly approve them.

6. Let us know which part of JoJo you've read/seen up to. The rest of us will all keep quiet on parts one of us doesn't know.

7. Let's keep it cool. This is no place for a heated argument. There will probably be times where you get ambushed by someone with a 'bullshit ability' and your character ends up in quite a bad way, but sometimes that's just how it goes. Not every fight will be your fight, and it's best to give each Stand a moment to shine.

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance: Describe the character, including clothing. A picture in anime or anime-adjacent style also works.

History
A summary of their life up to this point. Should include current lifestyle.

Personality
A paragraph or so ought to do it. I'd like to know both what kind of impression they give off, as well as how they feel deep down.

Abilities
For things beyond using a Stand. Combat skill and other supernatural things can be included and expanded upon here. This section can be removed for people whose only major ability is Stand use.

Stand
Name:
Namesake: The song, artist, or similar that the Stand's name is inspired by. Stands named after anything else may not be approved.
Appearance: How it looks, physical properties.
Personality: Optional. Some Stands speak, or give off certain vibes. Should generally reflect the "inner feelings" of the user. A Stand is more likely to act out or be independent if the use is lying to themselves or not in touch with their true feelings.
Type: Close-range, midrange, remote-controlled, automatic, or something along those lines.

Below are the Stand stats. Rank them from Null~E~A. Infinity is quite special- you shouldn't need it.
Destructive Power: Measure of the Stand's ability to deal damage. Often represents pure physical Strength, but can also refer to something like the size of an explosion created using its ability. Basically accounts for the Stand's "best" method of dealing damage. "Null" is for Stands that can't move or interact physically, "E" is subhuman strength, "D" is the strength of an lazy human, "C" is the strength of a star athlete bordering on superhuman, "B" is superhuman strength, and "A" is beyond that, capable of smashing up trucks and walls without much trouble.
Speed: The speed with which a Stand moves. Can also represent the rate of ability activation for non-physical Stands. Use roughly the same measurements as destructive power in terms of ranking.
Range: The distance a Stand can move from its user, including parts of the Stand like launched projectiles or stickers it leaves on things. "Null" is a Stand that only works within one's body, "E" is 0~2 meters, "D" is 3~5 meters, "C" is 6~12 meters, "B" is 13~40 meters, and "A" is everything beyond that.
Durability: Toughness of the Stand. Use a similar scale to destructive power in terms of ranking.
Precision: Dexterity and eyesight of the Stand. Precision E indicates a Stand where the user can't really use its senses.
Developmental Potential: Possibility of the Stand gaining new techniques or abilities, or transitioning to a new state of being. Approval by me is required to actually make use of this- PM me the new ability you want and I'll judge it, as well as judge if your character has experienced enough and grown as a person. Lower potential indicates someone more experienced with their Stand.

Ability: The meat of any Stand. As you know, this could be nearly anything. Expect a PM from me for workshopping and balancing.

The result of a rare psychic ability: willpower given a unique physical form. There is no known way to 'force' a person to gain a Stand- some manifest them at birth and others during unique experiences in their lives, but it is entirely unpredictable.

Most Stands will mirror the damage done to their users, and vice versa. Fortunately, only a Stand can harm another Stand. Stands can pass through their own users, as well as nonliving matter, although doing so is imprecise and slower than walking through a dense forest. A Stand cannot phase into a creature while their soul has the strength to resist the invasion, something even those without Stands can do.

Only Stand Users can see Stands, aside from those bound to real objects, but a Stand can vanish into its user when not active. A Stand will similarly vanish if it moves beyond its 'range', but unlike vanishing into the user it does not immediately return. Having your Stand forced away from you and dispersed will not harm you, but you may be unable to summon it for a short while.

Stands do not have unlimited energy. Using a Stand has direct impact on the body, and one can certainly become unusable due to exhaustion.

In general, a Stand represents the identity of the user. In the case of dishonest people, their Stands may tell you more about them then they will. The Stand is the window to the soul, after all.

Undead beings woven into history and myth. Any vampire present at the opening of our story will have been transformed into an undead by the bite (or fingers) of another vampire, and will thus be generally unable to create further undead themselves. Where, then, did the vampires who create other vampires come from? Even to those of you aware of vampirism, this is unknown.

In terms of swiftness, strength, and stamina, a vampire is utterly beyond a human. They may even be able to match combat-based Stands, though the nature of Stands prevents them from being harmed by physical undead. The only physical attribute vampires lack is toughness, as they can be injured by any sort of weapon and even suffer damage from the power their body exerts. Fortunately, a powerful passive healing and completely illogical capability to remain alive makes such wounds less important.

The fuel for this dark power is human blood. The blood of animals may suffice for survival, but a vampire who relies on this will find themselves unsatisfied and weakened. Vampires have fangs, but by manipulating their own bodies they can suck blood through nearly any part of themselves.

The manipulation of the body represents a large resource of versatility for the undead, but developing any particular technique is not easy.

As one might expect, vampires are hated by the sun. Any part of a vampire which touches its rays will be turned to dust with no opportunity for resistance.

Name: Daniel Traube
Gender: Male
Age:19
Appearance:
Standing in at Five feet eleven inches, Daniel has a pretty average body shape, and isn't super athletic. He doesn't go outside much resulting in pretty pale skin. He usually takes his Beanie off indoors, as well as his jacket.

History
Born to a single Father, who ran and owned a History Museum, Daniel always found the place exciting, especially the weaponry. Cannons, Sabers, Bows and Arrows, all were fascinating to him. Rather than seeing them as weapons of war, Daniel saw them as a form of art. The ingenuity, mechanics, and inventiveness of them was often astounding. Not to mention each person usually poured their heart and soul into them for older weapons.

It was when Daniel turned 16 that the power of the Stand awakened to him. A new exhibit had appeared overnight, according to Daniel. His father and his friends told him he was a little to old to be playing pretend. He even tried taking pictures and showing them, but to no avail. To Daniel, a beautiful swords with a platinum sheen hung on the wall seemingly on its own. Pulling the sword off of the wall, he noticed an inscription along the hilt. "DRAGON SLAYER" it read. Setting the sword down, it immediately dissipated. Daniel stood in confusion, before getting the idea to call out to it. Calling out "Dragon Slayer" and holding his hand out, the sword appeared back in his hand.

Daniel would spend the next three years figuring out the sword, and its seemingly magical properties.

Personality
While a keen interest in weaponry may raise a red flag or two, Daniel knows he would never hurt another person unless his life depended on it. While somewhat introverted, Daniel is always game for meeting new friends, and learning something new.

Abilities
History buff- Being the son of a history museum owner generally gives you a keen understanding of history.
Sword proficiency- Wielding Dragon Slayer for 3 years, Daniel has taught himself how to use it.
Charismatic- Talking to people nearly every day, Daniel has learned what to say and when to say it to get people interested in what he has to say.

Stand
Name: Dragon Slayer
Namesake: The song "Dragon Slayer" by NSP
Appearance:
The whole Sword is about 5 feet long. The blade appears to be made of some sort of stainless steel, with gold ornaments and blue leather-like wrappings around the hilt. The sword is almost weightless, and can be wielded with one hand, but the hilt is big enough for two hands.

Personality: N/A
Type: Close Range

Destructive Power: "A" on nonliving things "D" on living things.

Speed: Null. Dragon Slayer is on object, and cannot move on its own.

Range: "E" as Dragon Slayer is a Sword, and is only about 5 feet long.

Durability: "B" Dragon Slayer has a higher durability than steel, like that of titanium, and does not reflect damage to it's user. If Dragon Slayer is broken, it dissipates, and Daniel must wait a short while before he is able to re-summon it

Precision: "D". While Daniel does most of the work, Dragon Slayer seems to give a slight tug or pull in the direction he needs to aim to block or attack the most efficiently and effectively.

Developmental Potential: "D" there might be a thing or two Daniel could learn to do with his Stand, but not a whole lot.

Ability: Dragon Slayer has the Ability to slice through almost any nonliving thing. Cars, buildings, and boulders can be cut through like a hot knife through butter. Against living things however, he might as well be using a lead pipe. Stands are counted as living things.

Name: Kris Maxwell
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance:

Kris is the kind of person who would be quite attractive if only he took care of himself. He’s a little shorter than average with delicate facial features, and a thin frame that’s usually covered up by baggy clothes. He doesn’t exactly look healthy; his eyes have dark circles under them, his skin is pale, and his typical expressions range from blank to sour. His voice is quiet and monotone, rarely going above “inside voice” levels.

History
Dysfunction runs in the Maxwell family. Kris’ mother is paranoid, and his father is a hoarder. They’re nice enough people, but not particularly stable. A lot of the time, they left Kris to his own devices, too wrapped up in their own issues to keep a close eye on him. As a kid, he didn’t try to make any friends, preferring to stay on his own.
Once he was old enough to be out unsupervised (maybe a little earlier than most), he took to exploring the many run-down and abandoned lots and buildings in his city. He was particularly interested in the graffiti that covered most of the walls. Overlooking the cartoony genitalia and scrawled obscenities, Kris found inspiring and creative designs. He started drawing his own, which obviously didn’t please the authorities.
Kris’ parents dismissed his trouble with the law, not wanting to stifle his creativity, but he still tried to keep his activities subtle. Very quickly, he had a routine; he’d spend the school day bored and uncomfortable, then spend his free time drawing on walls and hanging out with stray animals before going back home for dinner.
What he liked to draw the most were eyes. For reasons he couldn’t quite put into words, the image of an eye was just compelling to him. Drawing them just felt right. Eventually, he started feeling something odd. It was this new consciousness within him, like he was suddenly aware of something completely new. Once it became too much to ignore, he tried to investigate it. Sitting alone in his room, he closed his eyes and tried to focus on the new feeling. When he opened them, half of his vision had changed, and he was looking at a city street. He closed his eyes again, and he saw an empty lot. Again, and he was looking at himself. He realized that he could see out of one of the eyes he had drawn on his walls.
By this point in his life, he had recently graduated high school and started working at a bookstore, as he had neither the money nor the desire to attend college. Soon after, he moved into his own apartment. He now lives by himself in a cheap, shitty apartment that he loves. He continues to work on his art during both work and his free time. He’s considering volunteering at an animal shelter, but he’s worried he might scare people away from adopting. He would adopt a cat himself, but he’s not confident he would be able to take care of it.

Personality
Kris isn’t what you would call friendly, or pleasant, or inviting. Just about the opposite, really. Having positive interactions with people just isn’t something he does often. If he’s forced into a social gathering, he prefers to just sit on the edge and ignore everyone else. If you’re persistent enough, he will start to talk to you; though he won’t be much of a conversationalist.
Once you get to know him, he starts to show some surprising traits. Though he comes off as overly serious, he actually has a very healthy sense of humor, with a taste for absurdity and sarcasm. He also has a soft spot for animals and cute mascot characters. If he likes you enough to invite you into his apartment, you’ll see multiple shelves full of Rilakkuma, Gudetama, and Pusheen figures, and his phone is full of pictures of animals he comes across. In fact, the only time he’s willing to come up to a stranger and talk to them is when he asks someone if he can pet their dog.
If you look past the surface, it becomes more and more clear that Kris’ hostile exterior is the result of social awkwardness rather than genuine malice, and even though he isn't personable or emotionally literate, he's incredibly reliable and trustworthy.

Abilities
Drawing - He fills up sketchbooks pretty quickly with graffiti-style designs.
Intimidation - He was practically made to play Bad Cop.
Cool Head - He doesn’t get psyched out easily, and can often be a calming presence in a chaotic situation.
Good with Animals - Animals love him, and he loves them back.

Stand
Name: Dark Eyes
Namesake: Dark Eyes by DeVotchKa
Appearance:

When Kris uses his ability, his right eye turns almost entirely red, save for a white pupil. As he uses it longer, red veins start spreading across his face. As he starts to reach his limit, his eye will start oozing red, and his nose will bleed. If he goes for too long, his eye will remain bloodshot after he stops using his ability.
Personality: None
Type: Long-Range

Destructive Power: Null
Speed: Null
Range: A
Durability: Null
Precision: C
Developmental Potential: B

Ability:
If Kris draws an eye on any surface, he can see through it as if it were his own eye.
He can also hear sounds made within earshot of where the eye is drawn.
To count as an eye, the drawing must have at least an upper and lower lid, an iris, and a pupil.
He can only see through one eye at a time.
His range is a few hundred meters. His abilities reach roughly within a neighborhood-sized area.
If a drawing is covered up or erased (either fully or partially), Kris can no longer see through it, and it's not a pleasant sensation.
When Kris is looking through an eye, the drawing will blink and move its gaze with him.
Using his stand takes a physical toll on Kris. He can only use it for a certain amount of time before he starts to get migraines and nosebleeds, usually incapacitating himself for a little while. This time limit can be extended with endurance training.

Extras
Because his stand isn’t capable of combat, he carries a metal baseball bat with him for self-defense.
He also carries a roll of blank stickers and multiple markers, in case he needs to quickly stick an eye on something.
No matter what the temperature is, he always feels at least a little cold.
He has a habit of talking to himself when trying to figure something out.
An example of his voice and speech patterns.

Name: Oberon Puck
Gender: Male
Age: 8
Appearance:
Oberon is a young boy of white skin tanned from excessive outdoor exposure, covered in bruises and cuts from having to live on the streets from such an early age. His hair, while messy, is kept short and trimmed (albeit unevenly as he does it himself) with a dark black shade. His muscles are well developed for an eight year old through rigorous exercise, but it’s clear that he’s been malnourished. He likes to wear whatever fits that he can find, but always keeps a blue wool winter hat on, as it gets cold at night.

History
Oberon’s home situation was not ideal, to say the least. His parents married only because his mother was pregnant and refused to get an abortion or put him up for adoption, so his father wed her out of a feeling of responsibility. Unfortunately this led to resentment on all sides, as the father wanted nothing to do with his wife or child, but he despised the idea of having to pay child support even more, so he medicaded his situation through the bottle. Now while Oberon’s father was an abusive drunk, his mother could not be any further from this, eternally a loving and doting parent that provided for him the absolute best that she could. The times it looked as though his father was about to turn his abuse toward the young boy, she always jumped in and took the hit herself.

Whenever the two would fight at night, Oberon would get scared in his bed, hiding beneath the covers and taking comfort in his fairy tale story books and stuffed dragon, Pete. Inevitably every time after they had finished fighting, his mother would always come to check in on him, hiding any bleeding beneath the darkness. Sometimes Oberon would pretend to already be asleep, other times he’d tell her how scared he was. Regardless, her reaction was always the same. She would simply caress the young boy, kiss him on the forehead, and whisper, “Hush little baby, don’t say a word, and nevermind those noises you heard. It’s just the beasts in your head.” Then, feeling his relief, she would leave. Oberon would never have bad dreams because he always felt that he was protected from harm, no matter what.

One unfortunate night was especially terrible. The fighting was louder than normal and Oberon could hear them more clearly than ever. Daddy called him a monster, a monster! Daddy was telling mommy that he hurt his daddy in the middle of the night, gave him a bunch of nasty cuts! How could daddy say these things? He loved his dad, as all small children do oblivious to the terrible situation they live in. His mother thought it was ridiculous and demanded he leave them. That’s when Oberon heard something glass break and his mother scream. And then… Silence. She never came in to check on him that night, to whisper softly for him to fall asleep. He trembled in the covers for hours until the fear couldn’t keep him awake any longer. He finally fell asleep…

Oberon woke up that morning all by himself, hours after he should have already been to school. Why didn’t either of his parents come get him? After brushing his teeth and using the potty, the young boy checked his parents’ bedroom where he found his father. Or rather, the remains of his father, torn to shreds and disemboweled. He ran to the kitchen where he found his mother, dead on the floor with a broken glass bottle shoved into her face. Terrified, he grabbed everything he thought that he would need and shoved it in his backpack, running away. He heard stories about kids that got fostered and didn’t want that to happen. He’d have to live on his own, all alone at eight years old.

Personality
On the outside, Oberon is a cheerful, happy go lucky child that seems naive and overly trusting. He is wary around authority figures like the police and whatnot, but to everyone else he’s perfectly friendly and accomodating, wanting to please others and make them happy. His imagination is quite vivid, and he loves stories and fairy tales. Of course, this is all masking a deep trauma and depression. Emotionally Oberon is stunted from an abusing household, having a mentality younger than his actual age would imply. He’s terrified of reality and of what happened in his home, refusing to talk about the incident and changing the subject if it ever comes up. He is completely unaware that he is a stand user, or that stands exist in general, and would be both ashamed and further traumatized if he ever found out that he (albeit indirectly) killed his own father. Side note, Oberon has developed narcolepsy and is liable to fall asleep at any point unprompted for any reason.

Abilities
Vivid imagination, very artistic, has learned some decent survival skills on the street including scrounging for odds and ends as well as basic first aid.

Stand
Name: Enter Sandman
Namesake: Enter Sandman by Metallica
Appearance: Enter Sandman has a different appearance every time it manifests due to the nature of its ability and how it functions. However, it always has the symbol of a coiled snake somewhere on its body as the telltale sign that these different creatures are in fact the same stand.
Personality: While Enter Sandman is a stand that operates independently of its user’s will (or even knowledge) its level of sapient intelligence is not refined enough to display a human-like personality, behaving much more like an animal than a person. That said, it is instinctively highly intelligent, showing great aptitude with strategy and the abilities granted by whatever form it happens to be taking at the time. It possesses basic knowledge, such as “if prey is on high tower, break tower base and they fall,” or “chase down this way and they are cornered,” and things of that nature. Occasionally it even shows higher level thinking such as “fire will set off the sprinklers” and will use that to its advantage. However it is incapable of communicating with humans or other stands in any way, and it is intensely aggressive to anybody or anything that isn’t its user. In this way it behaves like a wild animal mother protecting its young, and what it deems to be a “threat” to Oberon is a very large umbrella indeed.
Type: Automatic

Destructive Power: B
Speed: B
Range: C (Keeping in mind that the range stats for long distance/automatic stands do not operate under the same principles as close range power stands)
Durability: C
Precision: D
Developmental Potential: A

Ability: Enter Sandman is a stand fueled by the imagination and dreams of its user. It manifests only while Oberon is asleep and takes form based on whatever the boy is dreaming of in that instance. Robots to dragons to unicorns and so on, as Oberon’s imagination is truly a cast and colorful one. What it’s capable of is dependant on the form it has. Thus if it is a dragon then it might be able to breathe fire and smash with its claws, or as a robot shoot lasers from a raygun. Enter Sandman uses these abilities solely for the protection of its user and to eliminate any and all perceived threats. It is also the guardian of Oberon’s dreams and “polices” the boy’s mind in a way, destroying any nightmares to ensure that he only has pleasant, sweet dreams. While this ensures that Enter Sandman always has powerful abilities to work with, it also prevents Oberon from properly dealing with his trauma and growing as a person, stunting both the boy and the stand’s development in the long run.
