Stand Ability: Yosuke's stand is six stands wrapped in one! Nah, just kidding, kinda, it's like if you made the sex pistols human sized. Six Members controlled like a normal stand, by one person. His specialty is doing things that require multiple people, like being in two places at the same time, or team tactics like restraining on and pummeling the enemy. Unfortunately, each time you damage the stand, that exact damage is given to Yosuke, meaning if you cut each member of Seven Nation Army's arm once, Yosuke's arm would be sliced seven times, with each cut having the same intensity as before. Due to this fact, Yosuke only regularly summons Seiben, preferring to keep the other five members in reserve to reduce casualties, until they're needed. One of his techniques is to "layer" his Stand in times of need, placing each Member in the same place and moving them at the same time. This means he can hit about six times as hard, but takes about six times the damage.
Stand Appearance: Each member of Seven Nation Army looks similar in stature, a slightly short, average looking masculine figure, with the exception of Sieben, which is a feminine figure with slender legs. No members of Seven Nation Army have faces, and they're all a dull red, with a different white symbol on each chest. Due has two I's like roman numerals, Tres has a triangle, Quatre has four horizontal lines, Five has a star, Sheist has 六 written on it's chest, and Seiben has a 7.
Weapon: He wields his prized black Damascus steel Katana, named "Naomi" as his main weapon, and conceals a small butterfly knife in his jacket for emergency situations. Normally though, he fights with his Stand.
Personality: Yosuke likes to think he's a leader. He takes charge of things, trying to be as enthusiastic as possible. He jokingly insults people routinely, occasionally himself, though he prefers to be an egotistical ass. Oddly enough though, he has great control of his actions, hiding his emotions and opinions when necessary. His poker face is great, and that's what a leader needs. A little lie never hurt anyone, right? So what was a few more to reach a common goal? He tries not to get close to people, due to the frequency in which they pass. He understands that life can leave quickly, and tries to enjoy his, while minimizing his negative mark on others. He only watches a few shows, nothing live action, as he enjoys videogames much more than any form of media. He frequents image boards in his spare time as well, to interact with people.
Bio: Not much to say here. Yosuke's mother divorced twice and he moves frequently, which is why he has abandonment issues.

Courage is to become one with fear itself!
Now this might be a little OP, considering it is kinda six stands in one. Please, if you want me to tone anything at all down, tell me. I won't hesitate to make any changes.
Pretty much accepted! However bare in mind, a range of C means your stand can only move 5 meters away from you before becoming incredibly weak and unable to do much of anything, bare that in mind, you can increase the range of your stand but decrease something else if it suits you, or keep it as it is, either way, you're accepted and may post in the characters tab!
Hey, [@The_written-John], my Stand's drawback is that the damage Yosuke receives isn't split between each Member. Does that mean Seven Nation Army's Durability would automatically be an E, or would adding more points into that reduce the damage Yosuke receives per hit? Am I making any sense when I type this? I'm sorry if this is exceedingly confusing.
No no, your question totally makes sense!
Yes, raising your durability would very much decrease the damage your character Yosuke's Stand receives per hit.
Seven Nation Army available? It'd be like Sex Pistols, except all human size, and not in a gun. Still only six of them though, Yosuke is the seventh member.
go with it! Make the app and i'll see what it's like! x3
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!
THIS was an old roleplay that almost started but failed to start due to my father falling ill and because a lot of work had to be completed ontop of debts needing to be repayed! However I now have the freetime to start the roleplay up once more! Everyone who made an APP in the original RP may still do so! And copy/paste their old character from the characters section if they wish!
The old forum: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/77579-jojos-bizarre-adventure-chronos-curse-no-longer-accepting-apps/ooc
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
Feel free to use poor engrish in JoJo style!
Some bands may be taken, as they will be used by some of my characters in the roleplay, if you cannot choose a certain band, it is because a character within the rp will already possess such a stands name.
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?

This just sounds like you want a medieval fantasy roleplay but you don't want to put any effort into making it and want others to do it for you...! It just seems like that...!
