Welcome everyone to the J.J.B.A roleplay! For both fans of the JOJO series and those who may know nothing about it at all! I welcome you all to join in on the fun and to partake in a grand and bizarre adventure! First things first, for those who don't know, Jojo's bizarre adventure is an incredibly long running manga series which has been adapted into a videogame and more importantly into several anime seasons, this roleplay however will be based in its own alternative universe, so you do not need to know much about JOJO canon lore in order to understand it, this makes it easier to craft a story in the JOJO style and keep it open for people who dont know about the series to join it! Characters will be completely new and I will not be adding characters from previous JOJO adventures to make the rp seem fresh to the viewers who wish to partake. And I hope you all do! A few things i must note however: *: you can only be a protagonist, whether anti hero, or hero in general, the rp will have all roleplayers using their combined skills in order to stop a greater adversary which I will roleplay myself, to give a sense of co-operation. So heroes only! *: You can only be a Stand user despite characters in the show possessing multiple styles, i'm limiting it to one to reduce overpowered capabilities, this also includes my protagonist, so i will be on par with all of you. * try to make your character balanced in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Rules: Basic forum rules are obvious No powergaming No metagaming Do not post your character app in the characters tab until I have accepted you! Have fun and be as fabulous as you can be! Insert "To become one with fear itself"into the last question to prove you've read the rules. Try to make posts a minimum 5 lines/couple of paragraphs long. I'm not heavy on post length, but make it relevant. Posts will usually be once every week or whenever i can get some time off, which will be sometimes, I won't advance the plot too fast, so don't be afraid to take a day break or two. [more rules will be added if they need to be] As for the roleplay, The times are currently 2015 and the world is exactly like our own in terms of look and technology, however will contain fictional cities and towns for more creative reasons for the plot. The date is august 21st and the adventure begins in the fictional large city of Izayoi in japan. A typical dry boring day, you are a mere civilian walking among the streets of the city downtown, minding your own business and doing your own thing when the world instantaneously freezes around yourself, and the world is drenched in a dark black like palette, as an mysterious arrow whisks through the city and pierces our heroes, revealing and summoning their stand within themselves, other innocents are also stabbed, but die from blood loss and do not unleash a stand. Confused at the scenario, they are approached by an ominous entity... And the bizarre adventure shall begin...! Style: Stand: The user projects his or her inner guardian, an energy projection from within him or herself to protect themselves and assault their opponents with mystical powers, they can look however you desire but can only reach just over average human height. Your stand can also have a special power that only you can have, but the power must relate to your character stats below. You may also give your stand a name, it can be whatever you like but must be named after a band or a song, or a reference to a song/band. A stand can physically assault an enemy or use an ability but can only be seen by other stand users. If a stand travels too far, it becomes significantly weaker, loses its power and is incredibly vulnerable to attack. While your stand can take damage for you, you are still damaged by the attack, a high durability stand can reduce the damage you take, but will not negate it.
Stats: You possess 5 skills, and have 10 points to pump into each stat ranging from E to A, you always start at E for each slot, so spending a point will raise it up to D, another point to C and so on. Destructive Power: Consists of your physical and magical damage, does not include weapons found on the street, and the like, the higher your damage, the lower your range must be (if your an A in destructive power, you mustn't be higher than a C in range, and vice versa for balance. Speed: How fast you move. Range: How far your stand can go before you start to get much more weak and lose your strength almost instantly, E range would be just infront of you, D would be 2 meters, C would be 5 meters, B would be 10 meters and A would be 20 meters Durability: How much damage can your stand take before you die. Precision : How accurate is your stand with ranged attacks? And does it have good dodge ability? Application: Name: Age: Gender: Appearance: Stand name: Stand ability: Stand appearance: Weapon: Personality: Bio: Honestly optional. Your previous events aren't very important in the rp but if you wish to tell me, you can. Stats: Destructive power: Speed: Range: Durability: Precision: What is courage?:

Just need to wrap up a paper and then I'll start working on my app.
Preston Lloyd George
Age: 19 Gender: Male Appearance: Preston is tall and lanky young man, with blue eyes and bleach blond hair that is sheared close on the sides but with length on top. He sports grey skinny jeans, black pointed shoes, and a white vest top and a red leather jacket that is a size too small. His outfit is complemented by several rings and an expensive watch. Bio: Preston had been studying in Japan as a transfer student, he is from Britain originally.
「Space Oddity」
Stand ability: On a whole, Space Oddity is a fragile stand meant to combat foes from a distance, assisting and supporting allies with its abilities. Its first ability is 「Ground Control」. Space Oddity has the ability to trap people and objects in a specified area of around 50 sq feet. When active, it becomes nigh impossible to remove things from the ground. If you were standing, you would not be able to jump, or walk, whereas if you were prone, you would not be able to stand. Space Oddity is capable of extending the range, but this is far more taxing and thus, the trap can only be maintained for a short period of time. If within the 50 sq feet limit, Space Oddity has no trouble keeping up the trap so long as it is in contact with the earth. The trap area radiates from Space Oddity. Its second ability is 「God's Gift」, a barrage of rockets that pack the same force as a punch. While idle, Space Oddity creates missiles which it stores in its "torso". These armaments can be released all at once in an all out attack, or they can be launched on a one by one basis. They are homing, and can track a target so long as they are visible to Preston and Space Oddity. Space Oddity's final ability, which is unknown to Preston at the start of the roleplay, is 「Major Tom」. This ability serves as a last ditch effort to get Preston out of danger, and acts independently from Preston, activating when he is in mortal danger. In such an event, Space Oddity encapsulates Preston in a suit resembling a NASA astronaut, before retreating several miles in a backwards arc from where he's standing. Upon (crash) landing, Space Oddity would be severely weakened for weeks, needing time to recover, though Preston would be somewhat unharmed. Stand appearance: Pic related. When using God's Gift, Space Oddity slings the silo off its back, instead holding it off the hip. And while using Ground Control, Space Oddity places both palms on the ground, thus unable to use God's Gift at the same time. Weapon: Preston is typically unarmed. Personality: Space Oddity has no personality, and cannot speak outside of intercom style announcements of its attacks. Stats:
  • Destructive power: B
  • Speed: D
  • Range: C
  • Durability: E
  • Precision: A
What is courage?: To become one with fear itself! Also let me know if I miscalculated my Stats, it's late.

Is this still open for new players? And does it matter if my stand resembles an animal instead of a human? I have a couple of potential ideas for this. Edit: Also what is Stand Power? I'm not familiar with the series, so I'm not quite sure what you mean. Is it like how X-Men have powers? And do the Stands give their masters any special powers? For example, if my Stand's power was super speed, then their master would have inhuman agility.
Repost, since everybody is posting here.

Name: Takako Tsukizuki Age: 21 Gender: Female Appearance: Takako stands at 5'9'', making her quite a tall woman in respect to others. Her body is quite curvy and she has been called an 'alluring' woman from time to time because of how she usually dresses. She prefers to lean towards one piece dresses like the one in the picture, along with stocking and high heels, usually red in color. Her blonde hair reaches her lower back and she usually wears it straight, though she still likes to put it up into other hairstyles from time to time. She also has yellow eyes. Stand name: Taciturn Stand ability: Extremely fast and precise, Taciturn is a Stand that works long range. Since it would be pretty hard for it to stand its own against others normally, the Stand's limbs are all covered in blades, as well as being equipped with a tutu that is also bladed, which help it get a literal edge over others. Stand appearance: Taciturn is, in fact, a Stand that is fairly smaller than her user. It resembles a little kid-like pink, metal mannequin with a metallic tutu around its waist. Its face has white hair and also a pair of big, also white, eyes. It has no mouth, though. It almost always stands on its tiptoes as if it were dancing ballet. Weapon: Takako herself uses a katana. Mainly because there is no way she would stand a chance against a man that probably doubles her in height. Personality: Never one to mince words, Takako is known for having a sharp tongue and a quick thinking mind. She likes to insult others, whether they are friends or not, it doesn't matter, but she somehow gains some kind of personal satisfaction every time she pisses others off. Her personality and she as a person has been called 'rotten' and many other things to express her unusual demeanor towards others. For one, she is pretty dignified, and won't let anyone belittle her from what she thinks she is, and perish the thought of you ever doing so. Secondly, her personality is that of a complete sadist, if you hadn't noticed that already. It is also extremely hard to throw her off and she always keeps her cool, no matter the situation. Arrogant and almost princess like is a pretty good way to describe her. Bio: WIll be revealed IC. :D Stats: Destructive power: E Speed: A Range: D Durability: D Precision: A What is courage?: To become one with fear itself! :D ---- I hope this is okay. :P

Damn, and I thought I was being all original going after David Bowie, hahaha, great minds think alike.
<Snipped quote by DevourerofLove> Repost, since everybody is posting here.
  • Stands come in many shapes and sizes, but can totally resemble animals.
  • A stand typically has one or more ability, that is what's meant by "stando power". The user has no power, but has direct control over the stand.
  • Stands typically don't grant their users special powers, but I think there are instances where Jotaro (one of the protagonists) sorta overlaps his stand over his body, making his punches as strong as his stand's. I can't remember, but generally the stand has the power while the user just poses.
For instance:

HEBIGAMI is accepted! You can post your character in the characters tab. As for you, klaudus, everything is perfect, but your stats are 1 point over at 11 points, so you'll have to deduct a grade from your stand somewhere XD once you do, just post it over to the characters tab with no worries xp This RP is getting really Popular all of a sudden, may need a co-gm to help with all the peeps at one point! I'l think on that later though. The rp will probably begin in about a week, just have to make some changes to the plot and the like and see where I can take the roleplay! Lets hope I can entertain you all with something fabulous! Also, try to post at least once a week, and try not to bombard the ic with too many posts after another XD Since it is an advanced roleplay and all that. I'm too excited XD

Also note that Stand users are more durable against damage dealt by stands than regular humans, due to having a stronger "spiritual energy".

I'm a little nervous to post this one. I like what I've got so far, though since I have no experience with the series, I am a little worried my character might be a little too theatrical for the setting. Also, any similarities to a certain comic book hero are entirely coincidental.
