I have been dying to try a DnD experience while RP-ing a stand user. If you're not familiar with this concept from the anime/manga JJBA, essentially it's someone who can psychically manifest their willpower/personality as a ghostly entity that is tethered to them with unique powers and rules etc.
I have already done lots of research for this trying to find homebrew classes that could fit the bill, and thus I am very willing to work with a DM to build a character that will be fun AND fair. I'm open to discord/roll20 or whatever!
While not familiar with the source, by description it sounds like a Mystic from the Unearthed Arcana. Psionic-driven and there's a specialization that focuses on physical modification/enhancement (Immortal), that influences the minds of others (Avatar, Awakened), a sort of psi-ninja (Soul Knife), and one that disjoints the body and mind for better mobility (Nomad).

Fellow jojos fan here, probably coming too late. in the core mechanics of 5E, either an echo knight fighter or way of the astral self monk. my best suggestion though, is to homebrew a stand mechanic or something or just using the stand class from the jojo dnd rulings and asking your dm if you can use them.

Maybe some sort of homebrew warlock?

Jojo does not translate well into dnd 5e
Dnd is to restricting if you want a completely unique ability
Closest thing I could think of is an Astral Self Monk.
