Let's try not to die in 60 posts again, folks

So I haven't gotten a whole lot of work done (New draft next month, I promise!) but here's the new cover for JJBA Heroic.

greato daze, DM

Got a question for you: would I need to study up on the base Heroics game before looking at the JoJo Heroics PDF?

I'm afraid so - legally I'm not allowed to create a "core rulebook" PDF of any kind.

I might have to shill a bit to get this thread started

No problem, the base rulebook shouldn't be hard to find

It's an easy peasy system to get a grip on too, my advice to you is to also find the old Cheat Sheets and reference those. There's at least enough in the JJBAHRP book right now to run an off-the-cuff game and make PCs.

nerdnyc.com/tmp/marvel/Watcher-Cheat-Sheet.pdf for GMs
and
nerdnyc.com/tmp/marvel/Hero-Cheat-Sheet.pdf for Players

Are the best Cheat Sheets available, with almost enough information to run the game itself actually.

Posting my Stands to bump this shit

Stand Name: Grand Illusion
Stand User: James "Jimmy" Jager (Reference to Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger, rockstars. Also references to alcohol: Jim Bean whiskey and Jagermeister)
Stand Ability: Aggression Field
Power: E
Speed: E
Range: B
Durability: A
Precision: A
Potential: E
Description: Jimmy Jager is a German rockstar touring the United States. He tours around in a large circus tent that he calls "The Grand Illusion". His Stand takes (almost) the same name, considering it is bound to the circus tent (like Strength was bound to the boat). A tent that can fit up to 1000 people, it's ability only activates when Jager wills it to. Jager performs songs by himself on a stage about 15 feet from the ground in the middle of the circus tent. This platform protects him from the adverse effects of his own Stand: Grand Illusion. Upon saying the phrase, "Who wants to be a rock star? Come up on stage!", the tent begins to release a gas (which people assume to be part of the show ) that makes people blindly and extremely aggressive. Only Jager is immune to this. In releasing it, the audience begins to rush towards the platform (that they can't climb) and will literally tear each other apart to get to Jager and eliminate their "competition". Every turn, there will be composure checks to see if your character can resist the gas and begin to fight back. Jager doesn't have to lift a finger and instead can watch the audience kill each other while saying his catchphrase, "JA, JA!"

Stand User: "Cousin" Frankie Higashikata(カジンフランキー東方, Kajin Furankī)
Stand Name: Smoke On The Water (スモーク・オンザ・ウォーター, Sumōku Onza U~ōtā)
Stand Ability: Can generate any form of smoke, for example: can generate napalm smoke or smoke that has LSD in it

Stand Name: You Might Think He Loves You For Your Money But I Know What He Really Loves You For It's Your Brand New Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat (ユー・マイト・シンク・ヒー・ラブズ・ユー・フォー・ヨー・マニー・バット・アイ・ノー・ウォット・ヒー・リアリー・ラブズ・ユー・フォー・イッツ・ヨー・ブランド・ニュー・レパード・スキン・ピルボックス・ハット, Yū Maito Shinku Hī Rabuzu Yū Fō Yō Manī Batto Ai Nō U~otto Hī Riarī Rabuzu Yū Fō Ittsu Yō Burando Nyū Repādo Sukin Pirubokkusu Hatto)
Stand User: Stefan Burnett, better known by his stage name MC Ride, is an American rapper and visual artist. He is best known as the frontman of Sacramento-based experimental hip hop group Death Grips. Burnett is credited for his bleak, cryptic lyrics and aggressive rapping style (ステファン・バネット・ベター・ノーン・バイ・ヒズ・ステージ・ネーム・エムシー・ライド・イズ・アン・アメリカン・ラパー・アンド・ビズアル・アーティスト・ヒー・イズ・ベスト・ノーン・アズ・ザー・フロントマン・オブ・サクラメントー・ベースト・イクスペリメンタル・ヒップ・ホップ・グループ・デス・グリップス・バネット・イズ・クレディティッド・フォー・ヒズ・ブリーク・クリプティック・リリックス・アンド・アグレシブ・ラピング・スタイル, Sutefan banetto betā nōn bai hizu sutēji nēmu emushī raido Izu An amerikan rapā Ando bizuaru ātisuto hī Izu besuto nōn Azu zā furonto man Obu sakuramentō bēsuto ikusuperimentaru hippu hoppu gurūpudesu gurippusu banetto Izu kureditiddo fō hizu burīku kuriputikku ririkkusu Ando agureshibu rapingu sutairu)

Good music taste, my man

[YMTHLYFYMBIKWHRLYFIYBNLSPH] is probably my favorite Stand name. Even better that it belongs to MC Ride and it doesn't even have an ability.

I would highly reccomend Geist: the sin-eaters from the nwod line. The rules are alittle janky but a great avenue to express the power of stands, it can replicate shit like purple hermit.
Weird shit just happens, strangest character was a hobo who manifested cold-wind to increase the speed of already moving projectiles, and changed to speed up small metabolic processes(grow plants).....he also could heal his character by hanging his character to slow his metabolic state. So in a way it was a good representation of stand development if not a bit wonky.

It was great Wod has some strange powers that made for pretty jojo-esque moments, such as one of my PCs rolling for a secret action on a notecard (which i allowed), and a horde of vampires bust into the room hes in, to miss that he was hiding in the church organ. He then proceeded to burst out of the organ and accelerated the shit out of knifes, ended up sending a vampire or 2 into torpor from his epic rolls.

it's a regular punch ghost, it's ability is that while the user is saying the name and the opponent is confused it goes behind them and kakyoins them

I'll check it out my man and add it to the "How do I into JoJo Veeky Forums?"

Good shit, stolen. Any more, DGAnon?

So in the SBR-universe is Mormonism correct?
Should Mormon pastors have stands?

Technically, yeah.

You could definitely do a session where the group is a bunch of Mormon priests with Stands going around and purifying the wasteland. Like JoJo: Preacher

Jeepers Creepers is a stand bound to music; particularly an old song found on an old record. People who hear the music are in great danger as the stand attacks anyone who hears it.

The user is a radio shock-jock, using his job as a way to murder from afar. Perhaps most terrifying is that he can record the song and sneak it onto other devices; such as a cassette/disk or someone's Ipod.

I'm bad coming up with abilities but here are some other DG songs:

Beware (ビウェア, Biu~ea)

On GP (オン・ジー・ピー, On Jī Pī)

Spread Eagle Cross The Block (スプレッド・イーグル・クロス・ザ・ブロック, Supureddo īguru Kurosu Za Burokku)

The two sites I use for Stand names are this English to Katakana translator: sljfaq.org/cgi/e2k.cgi and Google Translate

I first put the song name into the Katakana site and then take the result and put it into Google Translate (Japanese to English) to get the Romanji

Aren't Geist powers limited though to things like graveyards and extremely old technology?
Cause they hunt down ghosts and so on.

...

...

First OC ACT Stand that I've seen that actually looks good

What does it do?

[Double Fucking Rainbow]

Ability: BOSS FIGHT!

Power: B/E (Stand itself cannot attack things; "Bosses" are highly destructive)
Precision: D
Speed: B
Range: A
Staying: A
Learning: D

[Double Fucking Rainbow] barely has any physical presence - almost intangible, and just visible enough to detect. It allows its user to imbue it into a living organism, whereupon it will transform that organism into a giant, monstrous, vicious creature akin to a video game Boss Fight. Think Power Rangers. A person might grow a hundred feet tall and gain vicious claws and laser eyes or some such, or a dog might become a monstrous wolf, rabid and hungry with several heads. Even a plant could become a menace, growing everywhere and sending out deadly vines and poison.

Boss Fights are almost indestructible and unstoppable, like Godzilla. Boss Fights will obey rudimentary orders such as "Kill that one" but are very single-minded and act with little care for environmental factors. Fighting Bosses is made harder by them being mostly innocent deep down - simply twisted and set loose by the user of [Double Fucking Rainbow].

The best way to defeat [DFR] is to beat the shit out of the user. This is easier said than done, because [Double Fucking Rainbow] has incredible range and the user could be hundreds of feet away in a crowd, seemingly panicking like the rest.

also, new name for when i post here so people can recognise my work.

I think essentially it's got all the powers of Piper; it speeds things up and slows them down by vibrations. Act 3 can do more powerful vibrational things like creating earthquakes and so on.

Piper? Please tell me you mean the Piper I think you mean, because it's too big a coincidence otherwise.

Yeah I mean the witch from Charmed.

Nice.

Now I want to see a Jojo remake of Charmed where the Book of Shadows gives them Stands instead of turning them into Witches and it turns out they're descended from Jonathan Joestar.

Stand Name: Harder Better Faster Stronger

Stand Ability: [Caffeine Empowerment](powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Caffeine_Empowerment)

Power - A

Speed - A

Range - A

Durability - D

Precision - A

Potential - D

Description: The power to gain strength from consuming caffeine. Variation of Affinity and Drink Empowerment. Users become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. by consuming caffeinated products, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers. Some users may be able draw complete sustenance from it or even slow or stop aging.

I still think the best sister was Prue.
I'd love to see her with a stand.
I still think that when she left things got kind of.... bland for the show.

Stand Name: Fun House

Stand Ability: [Part Manipulation](powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Part_Manipulation)

Power - C

Speed - C

Range - D

Durability - D

Precision - E

Potential - A

Description: Power to manipulate parts of any object. Sub-power of Object Manipulation. The user can create, shape and manipulate parts of any object, whether it be a building, a machine, furniture, organic body parts or just about anything else. Users can manipulate the leg of a table, an engine of a car, a pipe of a sink, an internal organ, the legs of a person, the steps of a ladder, the CPU of a computer, etc. Some users are able to manipulate more than one parts of an object. The user cannot...

Ita all about tone in that case I guess. Joesph could only use his stand on expensive cameras for complicated technology, and to be fair it was communicating with white noise....pretty spoopy if you ask me.

Turn charms into objects that resonate with your soul/geist, and make fetters have geists/stands attached to them. The book has such haphazard technical writing you can use it how you want with a surprising amount of congruity.

>scootalewis
That better not be an MLP reference

it's a holdover from when i used to be into the show a few years ago. The enjoyment faded; the name stuck. Too many people know me by this name to use anything else.

[Do You Believe in Magic] is an odd stand. A bizarre one, if you will. On its own, it has no abilities, but its power comes from those around it. The stand is capable of anything that stand users other than its own within range believe it is capable of, and it falls to the user to convince his enemies of the stand's power.

isn't that just double dutch bus

A what now? If that's an "everything proof shield" type issue I have considered that.

[Double Dutch Bus] is a Stand that someone thought up once upon a time in /sss/, and it became a meme. It's exactly as strong as its opponent/s believe it is, and I presume it also has any powers that its opponent/s believe it has.

In other news a friend of mine is taking a Stand user to a non-jojo game. Possibly M&M.

User's name is Holly Joerling, and her Stand (named by myself) is [Cosmic Wheels].

[Cosmic Wheels]

Power: A
Speed: A
Durability: C or lower
Precision: B or better
Range: E
Potential: B

Ability: Main ability is transformation of matter between organic and mechanical. It can also do the Crazy Diamond thing, but it's more of a temporal rewind for an object rather than "fixing" it. Basically, one hand's punches turn organic matter into mechanical objects and the other turns mechanical objects into organic ones. Besides that and the CD thing, it's a fairly standard Punchghost.

Apparently in the universe he's playing in, all comics (including manga) are real. Batman exists alongside Iron Man and Sailor Moon. Jojo is presumably real-canon as well, hence Stands.

Ability and name match real well. Imagining a guy just chugging coffee and the Stand powering him up SBR-style.

Another good one. With that name, I'd think the user focuses on using a house as a death trap: like making it define physics as an Escher house or making the house itself move parts to kill anyone who walks in.

Not gonna hold it against you

Name fits way better than [Double Dutch Bus] imo

I'm digging the organic to mechanical aspect. Can you explain what connection it has to the temporal rewind thing though? It seems like a random ability that was just tacked on tbhdesu.

obligitory

I don't know myself; I think my friend just had extra points and/or wanted to be useful as well as weird.

>Not liking DDB
Fuck outta here.

what are the JJBA ghost powers?

...

saved

I have a Stand also named [The Wall] in the session I'm running, except with the ability to throw bricks that replace matter.

I'm finally gonna be able to have two Stands of the same name in the same game

How does the transformation work, exactly? What if I had a damaged block of metal, would it be damaged when I turn it organic or would it be a perfect flesh cube?

I never said I didn't like it fampaitchi, I just like the name [DYBIM] more.
double Dutch bus is the strongest meme known to man

Sits

Armored Panther
youtube.com/watch?v=NmISCeqtJvw&list=PLgQXhSg8zBqVtuJpYxAaJ1-oD5j157pWk&index=3
Has the power to completely negate damage to any object in range for about 1 min
Shockwave punch: Armored panther has the ability to deliver an impact through anything, without disrupting the medium. For example, he can punch the air, and hit someone a ways off, all while not disturbing the air.
This can also double as a form of sonar.

DP A
Speed B
Range C
Durability C
Precision A
Potential E
While strong, its power comes from its surgical precision, and adept use of its ability to deliver blows to the vitals of the user, and to locate them through its use of sonar.

Again, no idea. I think damage does transfer, though. The conversion simply changes the nature.

Damn, that's a strong ass Stand. What's the connection with the defense and the shock wave punch, by the way?

I was thinking if the object was completely fixed (or just fixed by a little bit) every time it transformed, it would explain the "temporal" ability a little bit.

What do you mean by sits?

JJBA's ghost powers are called "Sits"

>i.4cdn.org/tg/1465352979108.pdf
Stop posting this, it's a 404. You need to actually upload the file.

Also, you might want to remove the 'attached file' bit from Marvel Heroic unless you're actually attaching the file.

Now this is nice. It even has the Kirby Krackle.

On the subject of Marvel, what kinds of plot hooks would you use to involve Marvel superheroes like the Avengers or X-Men into the Stardust Crusaders Event? The Event is 'meant' for JoJo characters, but the rules are 100% compatible.

Yes but what can a ghost do?

Stand Name: Highway Star

Stand Ability: [Warping Speed](powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Warping_Speed)

Power - E

Speed - A

Range - B

Durability - E

Precision - A

Potential - A

Description: The power to move at extreme speed without physical motion. Combination of Absolute Speed, Space-Time Manipulation, Distance Manipulation and Warping Teleportation. User become Trans-Dimensional crossroads runner capable of traversing great distances without the need of constitutional locomotion. Essentially moving incredibly fast while not actually moving within any occupied area via dropping in and out between real and subspacial planes in rhythmic pulse intervals, at an incredibly rapid pace much faster than one can achieve though simple running.

>Stand Name: Highway Star
user...

just slapping stuff around in the generator

change it to Space Truckin'

Yeah, I made this thread in a hurry. Duly noted.

In JJBA, ghosts don't really do much. They appear as golden wisps/clouds when the person dies. They're seen by people close to them and they can usually say like an anecdote, but other than that, not much.

Reimi and Arnold can still talk to people who walk into the alleyway, but it's really the alleyway that's special. Speaking of alleyway, the ghosts can drag someone back into hell if they look in the wrong direction.

Technically couldn't this just end up in time travel? Some guy just keeps accelerating in place and eventually, he can release it and end up in the future, right?

One would think though that without anyway to see where he would end up in the future they wouldn't develop that power.
Not unless they are extremely cocky or have blind faith in their own abilities.

Stand Name: All Nightmare Long

Stand Ability: [Possessive Teleportation](powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Possessive_Teleportation)

Power - A

Speed - B

Range - C

Durability - A

Precision - A

Potential - C

Description: The ability totransfer one's consciousness into another entity's body and take control of it. Combination of Consciousness Transferal, Teleportation and Possession. User can remotely transfer their consciousness into others' body (usually servants or people they are attuned with), overriding their mind and possibly empowering/reshaping their body it as they see fit, often in their own image. They may do it partially to assume direct control of their troops on the battlefield, or personally...

Good name and power combination there.

Hey guys, posting a Stand I came up with, any feedback is welcome.

[Doctor Doctor]
Ability: Hormone Manipulation
Power: C
Speed: B
Range: D
Durability: E
Precision: A
Potentail: B

[Doctor Doctor] is a Stand bound to the user’s shadow, and it can only travel between shadows of other objects and persons. Take note that only shadows count, not darkness. It is very fast however when traveling between shadows and when it strikes, but has shit durability.

The Stand has a skeletal frame, with three horns pointing backwards upon its skull, the index fingers are pointy and can they can perforate skin, when it does it triggers the special ability.

[Doctor Doctor] can inject and manipulate hormones in the user’s and other’s bodies. This can have a multitude of applications, both good and bad. For example, the user can increase the blood pressure of his opponents so high it causes hearth failure, or maybe help an ally seal up an injury by speeding up his organism. These effects are not instantaneous, so contact must be maintained until the desired outcome occurs.

Stealing this for my session.
I like the idea of a minor villain time travelling into the future when his back's against the wall and coming back even stronger.

As the other user said, perfect synergy between name and ability.

Definitely imagining as like a [Grateful Dead] fight- long and extremely difficult for the people having to go up against him

Digging the name and ability connection, as well as the subtlety of the Stand. You wouldn't think it's a big deal to have hormones injected into you until your heart stops completely.

Is there a reason that you made the Stand travel only by shadow? Is it a reference to song lyrics?

Good stuff, got any more?

I thought if I let the Stand travel freely it would make things a tad too powerful for the game I'm setting up, cause most stands are there medium tier.
So, deciding that I wanted to nerf it a bit I started listenings to lyrics again, and a verse that say "as I crawled across your floor" gave me the idea to bound it. Plus, I think it fits really well with the creep-ish vibe the song got.

Pretty good for a mental battle for a party.

Holy shit who drew this?

The artist for 7th Stand User 2: Fate is Unbreakable. They got a crapton of stands like pic related on their tumblr, go check it out.

Stand Name: Pompeii

Stand Ability: [Key Creation](powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Key_Creation)

Power - B

Speed - A

Range - D

Durability - C

Precision - B

Potential - E

Description: Power to create keys. Sub-power of Key Manipulation, variation of Metal Generation and Object Creation. User can create keys of all types, sizes, materials, etc. from nothing or by shaping the existing matter or energy. This can be accomplished by either a physical action, such as forging the key or by supernatural means.

I feel like this power could be really volatile if used correctly. Someone could craft a key that opens someone chest and lets all their organs fall out.

Does he take requests?

Now that's the thing (Not to be confused with The Thing, the orange rock man). I wouldn't put the Marvel Characters there themselves - instead, I'd put a character whose name happens to be Reed Richards, and his Stand, Mr. Incredible, who is the smartest man in the world with a Stand that has extreme stretchy powers, like a more direct Hierophant Green. If one isn't happy with Reed Richards and Mr. Incredible for fluff reasons, they could go with Ringo Ricardo and his stand, Rubber Band Man. Or they could remodel everything to be Marvel themed, but with a JJBA coating.

Perhaps as a supplemental PDF at some point possibly maybe, I could do Marvel characters as JJBAHRP characters. Until then I'd be happy to riff some more.

I still roll by InvaderTK in some circles, imagine what subculture that put me in high school.

[The Vengeful One]

Stand Ability: powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Explosion_Inducement

Power: A

Speed: C

Range: B

Precision: A

Potential: D

...

Bump

Made another one, think I will make this one the BBEG Stand, which will be a thief. Any feedback is welcome.

「Perfect Strangers」
Ability: Memory Manipulation
Power: D
Speed: B
Range: A
Durability: B
Precision: A
Potential: D

ACT 1: [Perfect Strangers] can manipulate the mind of its targets and insert the user presence on their memories. For example, should a guard be hit by the Stand, he will believe the user is a friend or a fellow guard, and could be persuaded to let the user pass. These memories are fake however, so the more the target knows the user, the less effective the effects are, and should the memories be proven as fake, the illusion is broken.

ACT 2: once it envolves, [Perfect Strangers] can now insert his user presence upon its targets at any point in the last 24h for a period of 5 seconds. For example, if the Stand hits a locked door, the user can look if at any point someone used a key on that door, insert himself in that time-frame, swipe the key, and when he comes back to the present, the user will have the key. To use a movie analogy, [Perfect Strangers] can insert frames on a movie reel and make them real.

Hello /sss/

Haven't posted in a while, so here's a new stand for y'all.

Name: 「Roundabout」
Power: B
Speed: A
Range: B
Durability: C
Precision: A
Potential: A

Ability:

Roundabout has the ability to produce lines from its fingertips across any hard surface it touches. These lines spread outward like the lines in an etch-and-sketch.

Anything, whether object or organism, that touches the lines will be "forced on that path". For example, if an enemy steps on one of the lines it creates and the line leads directly to a pit of spikes, he/she will be forcibly moved along the line towards the spikes.

Alternatively, if someone shoots at the user, the stand can use a table with its lines written across it to block the bullets. If any of the bullets touches the lines, it can be forced away in the direction of the line.

Roundabout's lines essentially function in the same way as train tracks of sorts for anything that gets caught in its ability.

Sounds like a truly roundabout path.

Do any of you guys have "dream games" that you really want to run or play, but probably never will?
I really want to get together with a bunch of students of Biblical history and run a game starring Joshua bar Joseph, Simon Peter, Mary Magdalene, Judas Iscariot et al with Stands named after classical music, but that's never going to happen.

Yes. A gladiator type game with stands. Except i would have player versus player games to spice it up. Unfortunately the way i would want to do it requires several jojo d10 groups and that shit would never fly.

Ayy are you the user that drew that cause i would like to know if you take requests.

Yes I drew it, but I don't usually take requests because I actually have to study today.

God, yeah. Sounds great, but like a nightmare to handle.
Maybe if you had multiple GMs and tried to coordinate?

Ah i see ok.

It just doesnt seem feasible in any fashion since managing schedules with one group is hell but doing that with the three im in is never going to happen. Its a fun thought tho.

Gimme your best ideas for a stand that makes minions or footsoldiers /sss/.

Skeleton$

See

How do you guys keep coming up with cool stand abilities? I've been running a game with some friends and the best I could come up with was a stand that literally liquidated assets.

I'm working on a fanfic but I'm stuck on the main villains power. I have a hard time describing it but what I'm going for is that it causes people to experience lag like if you've ever played a videogame with high latency. Would anyone here know how to put that into better words?

Maybe a delay between when the person says "I'm going to take a step" and "Person takes a step".
I have no idea if that actually helps.

The villian can add time in between a cause and effect. He can make it so you can take five steps and not move an inch and then release it, making you instantly zoom five steps forward

Interesting ability, I don't know if the name fits too well, but what can you do.

To fit more in a medium setting, I'd probably tweak it so that you'd need to touch the area you want to open up to make a key for it. That way, you can "accidentally" swipe someone's chest and before they know it, you've made a key that literally opens up their entire torso

The name and ability at first glance don't seem related but you could spin it to be an ability that stores kinetic energy dealt towards you (from punches, shoves, blows, etc.) and recycles it as explosions. Hence [The Vengeful One]

Wow, this is a very good ACT Stand. With the way the powers suddenly go from memory manipulation to memory recreation reminds me of Kira's shift to BITES ZA DUSTO.

For clarification, ACT 2 makes it so that the Stand can access the memories of anything, and "replay" certain events? Like, he finds a memory from the door when it was opened and "replays" the memory in present time, opening the door miraculously?

Your abilities are always so good.

Is the only way to beat this Stand to not land on these lines in the first place, or is there a way to break free from the "train tracks"?

Either way, good shit yet again

I've always wanted to do a session based entirely off of a single album. All the enemies are based on all the songs on that album and the final boss is based on the album name itself. It would be hard to coordinate a story with such a finite amount of enemy Stands, but that's the challenge I've presented for myself.

Describe that Stand, user

The Stand can build up kinetic energy in his environment. A person will be thinking "I gotta go someplace" and put the effort into moving five steps, but they will remain stuck as the kinetic energy is trapped inside them. When the Stand releases the energy in the surrounding, immediately people will be at the end result of their stored energy.

like you ever play an FPS with super high lag so it looks like you shoot at someone but then they run in place and pop up somewhere else? thats what im tryin to do with it

Oh, that's because the person seeing the lag isn't getting any inputs

So, you could say that the villain can freeze someone's vision. He doesn't actually stop time, but for a few seconds to the target, everyone looks like they're moving in place.

Im the key stand guy. Yeah Pompeii was a randomly rolled name. What would you suggest?

Maybe
[Change the Locks] or [Keyhole Blues]

>How do you guys keep coming up with cool stand abilities?

Guy who drew Roundabout here. I had a bit of practice with coming up stands thanks to a fanfic that I'm probably never going to finish at this point. I feel like rereading a lot of Jojo parts that are your fave helps. Having a general interest in superpowers, science articles, etc. doesn't hurt either.

Maybe try brainstorming a list of stands and see which ones are good? Raw brainstorming always helps.

Thanks user.

And to answer your question, generally yes. If you don't step on its lines you wont be under the effect. The lines themselves I'm thinking of having a distance limit just to make it not too OP.

Of course, the user can always do something like send a bomb or barrel of toxic waste your way via his lines.

Keyhole blues it is

Challenge for you all to keep the thread going:

Try to make a Stand like [Anubis], with the potential to have multiple users, but make it unique

I've got you covered.

[Easy Lover] is a free-range Stand that can latch onto any person become their Stand. If you didn't already have a Stand, she offers her services as a 'mercenary Stand' in exchange for putting up with her eccentric behavior and occasionally buying her food. Of course, [Easy Lover] can also injure herself to injure her Stand User if they don't cooperate.

In addition to its ability to move from one Stand User to another, [Easy Lover] has the power to generate electricity. This power comes from a shared link between herself and her Stand User's bioelectricity, so she can't shock people with 600+ volts or throw arcs of lightning unless she has one.
