Welcome to "Between Gold and Stone" A Bizarre Adventure.
The Lore: "In the aftermath of the tumultuous events surrounding Passione and the defeat of Diavolo, Italy finds itself in a precarious state of calm. However, beneath the surface, whispers of unrest linger as the remnants of powerful organizations scheme in the shadows. Meanwhile, across the globe, the descendants of the Joestar bloodline navigate a world fraught with danger and intrigue, unaware of the looming darkness on the horizon."
Races:
Human: The most common race, possessing no innate supernatural abilities but capable of wielding Stands and other supernatural powers through training and determination. However, humans can inherit Vampiric abilities by using a Stone Mask.
Vampire: Immortal creatures of the night, vampires possess incredible strength, speed, and regenerative abilities. However, they are vulnerable to Ripple/Hamon energy, which can weaken or destroy them.
Stand User: Individuals with the unique ability to manifest a Stand, a physical manifestation of their fighting spirit with supernatural powers and abilities. Stand users can only have one Stand and must unlock its abilities through sickness or exposure to a Stand Arrow.
Pillar Men: Ancient beings of extraordinary strength and regenerative abilities as well as the ability to absorb others though not take their power- its a way of eating, the Pillar Men cannot have a Stand or withstand Ripple/Hamon energy.
The Bloodlines Joestar: A lineage steeped in heroism and destiny, the Joestar bloodline bestows upon its heirs a legacy of courage, resilience, and unyielding spirit. However, only three Joestars may walk the path at any given time, ensuring a balance of power and narrative focus. (Perks: Enhanced physical abilities, heightened Stand potential, and a propensity for attracting both allies and adversaries alike. Players must request permission from moderators to create a Joestar character.)

The Limit of people who can be a Joestar is three at a time, if you wish to be one please PM one of the Mods. 4. Adhere to forum guidelines and etiquette. PG-13 Content along with the other Guidelines. 5. Please cut quote chains. 6. No God-modding or Power-playing.
Creating your Own Stand
Stand creation is allowed, but it must adhere to the following guidelines:
Stand abilities should be unique and balanced, with strengths and weaknesses.
Avoid creating overly powerful or game-breaking Stands that overshadow other players' abilities.
Stands with abilities that directly manipulate time, space, or reality on a large scale are not allowed, as they can disrupt the balance of the RP thread and create narrative inconsistencies.
Stands with abilities that grant omniscience or omnipotence are not allowed, as they can invalidate plot progression and character development.
Stands with abilities that cause permanent or irreversible effects on characters or the environment are not allowed, as they can limit storytelling possibilities and create conflicts among players.
Stands with abilities that rely solely on luck or chance for their effectiveness are discouraged, as they can lead to unpredictable outcomes and disrupt the flow of the RP thread.
Provide a detailed description of your Stand's appearance, abilities, and limitations when introducing it in the RP thread, allowing other players to understand and interact with your character effectively.
The Stand-Types
Close-Combat: Stands that excel in direct physical confrontation.
Long-Range: Stands capable of attacking from a distance.
Automatic: Stands with autonomous actions and abilities.
Colony: Stands composed of multiple smaller entities.
Bound: Stands bound to objects or locations, exerting influence within their vicinity. (Max Range is 20 Meters)
Abilities
Hamon: The ancient martial art utilizing controlled breathing and Ripple energy to channel life force and combat supernatural threats. (Using A Hamon-infused move will do an Extra D8 of Damage to Pillar Man or Vampires) Spin: The mystical technique harnessed through the rotation of objects, imbuing them with energy and unleashing devastating effects upon impact. (Extra D8 of Damage with Ranged Attacks)
Banned Stands and Abilities
Heaven Stands and Requiems: Stands possessing godlike powers or reality-altering abilities beyond the scope of balance and fairness.
Rewinding Time via Spin or Stands: Manipulation of time beyond localized effects, disrupting the flow of causality and narrative coherence.
*now just a question to clarify stuff, ‘stands,’ are like magical sort of abilities that some people have for some reason?*
*Stands are kinda hard to explain…They are basically a spiritual guardian that is mentally and sometimes physically attached to you. Everyone’s stand is unique. For example, the protagonist of Jojo’s season 3, Jotaro has a stand titled “Star Platinum” that is a large humanoid that relies on its combat prowess and raw strength. Some stands have unique abilities, and some aren’t even humanoid.*
