It was a boring but safe place...until two months ago during the dog days of July when strange events plagued the city. Many residents started developing stands or a phenomenon where a persons fighting spirit manifests itself physically around its user. However just as more and more people started gaining these strange abilities residents started rapidly disappearing. Just as this was happening mysterious beings started attacking people without even moving. With each disappearance and attack the police were more and more puzzled, but that all changed September 2nd when a body was finally found. The victim which wasn't identified had holes and was sucked dry of all blood. Once this news was released many people started panicking as to what could have done this but as some ran away others came. Some looking for answers to the disappearances others wanting to protect the city while some just came for a bizzare adventure. [hr] Hello, as you may have already guessed this RP will be based around the long running excellent series of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. However if you are new to the series or have no idea what jojo even is have no worries as all you need is the most basic knowledge of the series to hop in. Which I shall try to explain below. [hider=Crash Course in JoJo Knowledge ] [b]Stands:[/b] Stands are the fighting spirt of someone physically. Usually a stand presents itself hovering near the user and possesses abilities beyond a normal human. Stands however can present themselves anyway shape or size and are as varied as the human mind(so go crazy on how you would want your characters stand to look). A stand unless bound to a specific object or automatic are attached to the user. So any damage done to the stand will result in the user being dealt the damage also vice-versa. If enough damage is done to the stand it is destroyed the user also dies with it. Stands obey all rules of the user unless they are sentient in which case the stand can talk and advise the user on anything. Unless automatic stands still have to be summoned consciously. Thus allowing sneak attack possible to stand users. Stands can also only been seen by other stand users unless if it is bound to something physical such as a sword. [b]Stand Acts and Potential:[/b] Some stands go through an evolution over time growing new moves and growing to become the final form. The first form is called act 1 (the weakest) and can have many more after that if you wish. Stands like this usually evolve at a time of desperate need and have new sets of moves for the user to learn. Stands that don't go through an evolution instead master there moves and over time the Devlopment rank goes down as they master it further. A stand with an A in development still has a lot of practice to hone its skill or find new ones but a stand with an E has learned all of its moves and cannot learn anymore. [b]Ripple:[/b] The ancient form of martial arts. Through self-controlled breathing a trained person in the art can channel the identical energy of the sun through the body. The ripple can be seen by ordinary humans and manifest itself as sparks coming from the body. Ripple can heal wounds and combat creatures such as zombies and vampires. Living organisms can be affected by ripple but not automatically hurt by it. Stands can be infused by ripple however in this RP ripple stands must be very weak as ripple is nearly a dead art now. [b]Vampires:[/b] These creatures are just like the ones you should know by now possesses super human strength , regeneration, blood sucking ablitites, and near immortality. Vampires can also manipulate their bodies in creative ways. Vampires will serve as the main antagonist and can also create zombies by sucking blood and giving the victim its essence. [b]Zombies:[/b] Are almost the same as vampires with all the ablitites execpt to create more zombies. They can hide their identities and look like normal humans but most have a stronge smell of death around them. [/hider] [hider=Character Sheet] Name: Gender: Age: Description:(pics allowed) Personality: Bio: Stand Name: Throughout the manga stands have generally been named after musical bands or songs however anyway will do. Description of Stand: Ablitites of Stand: Weakness of Stand: Stand Parameters(delete this after reading it please)- All stands have six categories from E (very weak) to A (Excellent)of how good that stand can preform a certain ability. I will not have a point system but instead trust that no one will create an overpowered monster. Destructive Power: (Measures stands strength and ability to cause destruction) Speed: (Agility and reflex of stand) Range: (Stands range of manifestation,range of ability influence, now far it can move from user.) Durability:(Stands endurance and level of damage it can take) Precision: (Stands accuracy and range of ablitites to specified target) Development Potential/Learning:(see crash course in jojo for this) [/hider] [hider=Rules] 1. No overpowered stands such as time manipulation, world ending, no weakness having ones. If you would like to have a stand with a very strong ablity such as wiping things out of existence it must have glaring flaws as to be fair. An example would be a stand must touch someone for 5 minutes before it can be wiped out of existence. 2. Please be active. This will have a story and would be amazing to finish with some people as an accomplishment. If you would like to have some short stories won't your character please PM me and I am sure we can do one. 3. I will play as all main antagonist however if you would like to be a minor one please tell me beforehand. 4. Let's have fun after all this is the purpose of a RP. So let's go out there and defeat the undead. [/hider]
