People from all over the world have gathered on San Diego Beach, San Diego, with the hopes of successfully completing a transcontinental race and earning the grand prize: 50 million USD, reserved for the first place winner. The finish line waits for them on the other side of the continent-- New York City, New York. 

Each of these people have their own reasons for competing. Maybe they are in a crippling amount of debt. Maybe they strive to be the best jockey on earth. Maybe they are poor as dirt and finally see the chance to turn their life around. Their motivations are endless. 

What the competitors don't know is that not everyone is going to reach the finish line. Some will die. Some will forfeit. While the law might protect the racers, some might be killed in an underhanded way. As a certain few traverse the land of stars and stripes, they may discover that the race might be the forefront to something much more nefarious. 

Let the Steel Ball Run begin.
[center][h1]Hello![/h1][/center]
Welcome to my Steel Ball Run-styled JJBA RP. I'm looking forward to RPing this with all of you. However, I have some preliminary notes/rules for y'all.

1) [b]YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE READ STEEL BALL RUN TO PARTICIPATE.[/b] In fact, it might be more fun for you if you know nothing about it. I'd appreciate it if players had an idea of JJBA overall, though.

2) [b]THE SPIN WILL BE PRESENT IN THE ROLEPLAY,[/b] but I will be taking the Zeppeli who can control it. That being said, I'll allow room for a Joestar. Note that just because there is a Zeppeli/Joestar does not mean they will be the main characters.

3) [b]I WILL ONLY ACCEPT 4 OTHER PLAYERS AT MAX.[/b] That being said, all interested players must be active both IC and OOC. Interested players must also be willing to shell out posts that don't give others headaches to read. Also, please take your time in creating characters and crafting posts. This RP will focus a lot on character development. 

4) [b]DO NOT MAKE UNFUN STANDS.[/b] Some Stands might be broken in the anime and manga. However, it's best if players consider the thoughts and feelings of other players in this RP and don't make Stands that can absolutely destroy others without much difficulty. ACT Stands will not be allowed.

5) [b]I PREFER TO PLAY WITH EIGHTEEN YEAR OLDS AND ABOVE.[/b] There will be blood, death, gore, and so forth in this RP. I feel uncomfortable writing about this with people who aren't over 18. 

6) [b]HAVE FUN![/b] Despite everything, I want my players to have fun. I want them to be excited to face an enemy, wonder about what is going to happen next, participate in banter and plotting and ships, and so forth. :)[/color]
