Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: A World of Stars and Stripes

[Jumbus]

---

Had an idea for an Jojo RP which would take place in the modern day after an alternate conclusion to Part 7: Steel Ball Run. It is a bit of a niche topic in general so I'm just testing the waters with an interest check before I commit to the idea fully. The setting is detailed below but under a hider for spoilers.

Part 7 Spoilers

The premise is one where Funny Valentine was the victor in the story and had claimed the holy corpse for the United States of America. The result of this was that the US took 'the napkin' and became the undisputed global power that Valentine envisioned for many years. He had also abolished term limits where he had ruled the country for 28 years before retiring a well loved hero of the American people. His funeral was held 4 years later back in his home town. His successors only served for following terms of 4 to 8 years, either because they were unnoticeable or just down right bad. However, no amount of failure on the side of the American leadership had ever resulted in it losing its grip on the world stage. That was until today.

Against any rational explanation, America has slowly begun to lose its grip on 'the napkin' and other powers have started to find success against them. This is not to say that the state of the world had not become content with the American rule, but some desperate factions who were struggling uselessly to resist are suddenly finding success.

But the player characters think little of this. Despite being raised for their entire lives under this system, the fact that it is suddenly under threat does not phase them. This is because there are bigger things on their minds. Each of them have started to develop mysterious unknown powers, and despite where their origins are in the world they feel a sudden compulsion. They are all drawn to a specific location, Pennsylvania.

Disclaimer: Despite the topic and setting of the RP, this RP will not feature any opinions, figures, or other topics in reference to American politics. I, as a non-American, have very little to zero interest in the topic and it will simply not feature in the RP in any way.

I've wanted to join a jojo rp on here for a while. I've already designed a couple of characters so far. Also curious by the way, how open are you to characters from abroad? Also i'll need to work on a few more things depending on some details.

@Borosev

I am actually looking for characters from abroad, I think it would really fit the theme of a global force creating and calling people to the United States. Of course this isn't discouraging a character originating from the US either. You won't have to worry about RPing around language barrier or anything either. America taking the napkin would likely mean English is the primary language for all countries, if not a close and mandatory second.

Feel free to ask away with more questions if you need.

okey doke. so did the us take over the world? or did they just have a large influence on the world? also what year is it?

I made the characters Arther and Oswald Krate. Arther being made for an rp that was set in the 80s+, and Oswald was made for the western era during the late 1800s.

@Borosev

The year is just present year so its been over a century since the events of Steel Ball Run.

America didn't take over in a hostile manner, but much like the analogy of the napkin the other countries sort of came to follow America's lead and become like them. So they have such a large influence that they basically just took over without having to do anything by force. Just assume that Funny Valentine's goals were achieved. This isn't to say there weren't a few rebellious forces in various places around the world, reactive force was taken to suppress them. It was incredibly one sided before because Funny Valentine's plan succeeded. But now those same groups, who were on the ropes before, are starting to gain some success and traction. No one knows why this has happened.

Of course your character would definitely not know the plans of Funny Valentine but they would know that the change in the world was credited to him, this is almost always said in a positive manner.

[Borosev]

Ah righto. I think I can easily bring Arther forward for it.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Interested.

[Jumbus]

I reckon that is reasonable numbers so far to start making an OOC. I will have it out later tonight.

[Jumbus]

OOC is up and ready.
