*I personally think that the Jacob vs Don fight should be a slug fest. Trade ideals as well as blows. Like Akuza or Yuji. Two forces of nature just swinging on each other with brutal force.*
[Yeah, I'm down for that, that sounds cool. Ain't my battle so I can't input much, but that does sound good. Also, how are we handling these battles? Since they're loosely scripted, are we still going to do attack rolls and stuff? Don't want pivotal moments in a fight to be ruined by a Nat 1, or minor attacks made strangely effective by a crit]
*If nat1 or crits happen I’ll slightly alter the story or my character specifically. Say he gets hit with a crit, it will be like when Dio was hit with that crushing blow to the head. At least for me, I’m prioritizing coolness and storytelling over gameplay.*

Ciano says 'Jacob, Paolo, now's your chance! I'd get as close as you can, Jacob, and try and snatch the arrow of him and lands some hits. Paolo, you attack at your furthest range with Velvet Underground, and I'll provide a distraction!' He then starts to lob the crates in Don's direction, not particularly bothered whether they hit, just that they make cover.
Crates to hit: 7, 10, 6, 15, 12, 15, (I know that's a lot but that's to cover the full 2 rounds of distraction) and they do 8 bludgeoning damage each.
[At somepoint after Don achieves Requiem, Fulvio and Cleandro should show up, and Ciano can assist there. Idk about Paolo, but he can serve as a supporting role in either fight as well, whatever Jobah wants]

Don: 'I HAVED LIVED FOR MILLENIA AND NONE HAVE OPPOSED ME. I AM AT THE PINNACLE OF EARTHLY POWER!
Jacob: I dude literally just got here yesterday? High five? (Proceeds to hit the most earth-shatteringly incredible dap that shatters Don into a million pieces) ]
Don dodges all the crates except for the first and last. He spots the group and his face shifts to a mad grin but he doesn’t move, keeping the stand arrow in hand. He crackles and stares at Paolo, his eyes proceed to shoot out concentrated beams. Stingy eyes. To hit:26 Damage:33

I mapped out what the initiative will probably look like for the fight so far
Initiative For the 2 Rounds Before Requiem Paolo Ciano (Already taken in advance) Don (Already taken in advance) Jacob Paolo Ciano (Already taken in advance) Don (Assumedly Requiem) Jacob (Assumedly Requiem)
*I thought Ciano was going to go requiem too. I guess not though. Will Vie and August also be taking part in the final battle because Fulvio, Cleandro, and the neutrals are arriving right about now.*

[Ciano is gonna go Requiem after the final fight, as like a send off to the part. I think it makes more sense for it to just be Don and Jacob to go Requiem in the final fight since they’re the MCs. I’ve thought up some actually fire abilities for Ciano’s Requiem, so I’d really like him to survive until the end so I can show them off (and then kill him myself >:) ) especially since I’ve cooked up some crazy lore recently between him and Vie. I’ll give more information later. Also, Vie is just gonna be in the foyer maintaining Pandora Palace until Don is defeated, so won’t participate in any fights. He’ll try to avoid all the people arriving as well, keeping himself as safe as possible]
[Also for SoS, are we sticking to just humans as the only race you can play? I know we had a brief idea for another mythical creature to parallel vampires, but considering it's a new timeline, I think it's best we keep it just humans and don't allow Pillar Men and Vampires]
*This is the alternative universe so rock humans also exist technically. But definitely no vampires, but black cat is making a pillar man I don’t want to crush them about it. Idk though*
*this is a third, separate continuity from the Phantom Blood and Steel Ball Run universes*
[That's a really good point, we should probably keep Pillar Men if Blackcat's got one to play, it'd actually make better sense to have him in that universe rather than this one, as I always thought it was stated Kars wiped out all the other Pillar Men apart from his three cohorts in the Phantom Blood Universe. If we go off Blackcat's Pillar Man's backstory, we can help weave them into the lore and story. Definitely no vampires though, which means the Pillar Men would have to have new lore cos no stone masks]
*the stone masks could make smthn else. also, my pillar man will fit really well because i made him prefer an aquatic form even before i knew about the aquatic theme*
