A bizarre world where fate rules above all and those destined undergo different adventures facing many opponents. - Hamon, Stands, the Bow and Arrow, vampires, the Stone Mask and Pillar Men are not commonly known by the world, being secrets that only those that interact with it know about said powers. (Themes): The roleplay will follows themes of fate and the celebration of humanity, focusing on you's journey through this world, as he faces different threats and opponents during this time. The roleplay will also focus on bizarre, unnatural, strange and sometimes goofy events that still make sense within the story, either regarding Stands or other beings inside the universe. (Fate): Fate is the commanding force of the world, those destined to it can try and avoid it, however fate will always come for them. Fate can also act as a karmatic force, punishing those who try to avoid it with an even worse punishment then originally destined or rewarding those who embrace and maintain it's natural course. - Fate is an unknown force dictates everything that happen on the world, although people are unaware of it, despite this, people can strive away from their fate, although they will be punished for it. - Fate is the concept of a predetermined course of events, especially one that serves a greater purpose. - Certain families and lineages that had immense exposure to supernatural phenomena, such as Stands, vampires or Hamon might develop a psychic link of sorts, being able to midly sense eachother's presence. - Gravity is the force that commands fate and is intertwined with time, gravity can also alter one's fate or link it together with others. (Hamon): Hamon is an energy similar to sun rays that can be produced by the human body through the usage of controlled breathing techniques. Hamon can harm the bodies of vampires, zombies and Pillar Men, being the only effective way to kill vampires and Pillar Men. The ripples created by Hamon travel around the body through the bloodstreams to the rest of the body and onto objects in contact with the user. Hamon has the appearance of yellow sparks. - While every object can conduct Hamon, only biological beings can retain it. Hamon can also be used to enhance certain objects when conducted in them. Liquids are very conductive of Hamon. - A Hamon user must undergo harsh physical training to learn to control their breathing and improve their Hamon. - Most people don't posses the willpower necessary to learn Hamon and conistently control their breathing, however, people who's ancestors were Hamon users have a natural talent to use it. - Hamon can also be used to heal other people through the usage of it's life energy. It can also be used to pass the user's life energy onto someone else, effectively making them grow older or even killing them, but also strenghtening the person that received it and their Hamon. - Hamon appears to have some kind of connection with Stands, as a Hamon user is able to faintly perceive Stands, although not being able to fully see them. (Ghosts): Ghosts are spirits of dead humans who posses any form of unfinished bussiness in the material world, locking them there until it's done. Ghosts can appear to people, however, only Stand Users are able to fully perceive them. Ghosts are very rare. #Stands# - Stands are the physical manifestation of one's soul and their fighting spirit, they can be summoned by the user and act as a spirit that fights for them. - Most Stands don't speak neither posses a personality, simply acting as an extension of the user, however, some Stands show the capability of speech and even independency from the user. - Stand Users are subconsciously attracted by fate to eachother, meaning the Stand User are bound to meet other Stand Users at some point in their life, even if they don't notice the other person is a Stand User, not mattering if they're evil or good natured. - Animals and plants can also develop a Stand in rare occasions, animal Stand Users usually show a higher level of intelligence, being able to understand human speech and rationalize, while still not being able to speak themselfs. - Most strange phenomena that happen around the world, apart from vampires, Hamon or the Pillar Men can be considered a Stand, even if there's no user. - Since Stands are a manifestation of the user's soul, the user and the Stand share damage. - Stands, due to being manifestations of one's soul, can't be seen by non-Stand Users. Only Stands can harm other Stands, if a physical being tries to attack a Stand, they'll simply pass through it. - If a person develops a Stand without having any form of fighting spirit, they won't be able to control the Stand and it'll start killing them like a disease. - Certain people can be naturally born with a Stand, possesing it since their birth. - Certain areas, groups or even bloodlines around the world can be considered as "Stand User Hotspots", where the presence of Stand Users is higher then in other places of the world, which in fact subconsciously attracts even more Stand Users there. (Stand Stats): There are six different stats that categorize a Stand's strenghts and physical capabilities, being: Destructive Power, representing the Stands capability of destruction, either reffering to it's physical strenght or ability; Speed, measuring a Stand's reflexes and agility; Range, being how far a Stand can go from the user before it starts losing effective strenght; Stamina, being how long a Stand can maintain their ability active; Precision, measuring how precise a Stand is and how much control the user has over it's abilities and Development Potential, measuring how much a Stand can evolve, learn new ways to use it's power and develop, decreasing as the user learns more to use the Stand. - These stats are ranked in Null (Unexistent), E (Very Poor), D (Poor), C (Average), B (Good) and A (Very Good). - Stands can have superhuman strenght, agility and durability. (Stand Types): Stands can be categorized into many different types, depending on their appearance or different characteristics, also effecting their strenght and abilities. - Close Range Stands usually have more raw power, being focused in combat and offensive abilities, while not possesing many long ranged possibilities. - Long Range Stands usually are weaker physically, but posses more utility/support type of abilities and/or ranged type attacks, while also not being good for close quarters confrontations. - Automatic Stands are Stands that act without the user's direct command, simply following a certain rule of activation. The user doesn't have the ability to directly control this type of Stand. The Stand doesn't share damage with the user if it's an Automatic Stand. - Swarm Type Stands are Stands who exist as multiple beings instead of only one, they're usually weaker than other Stands but have strenght in numbers. Since there's so many of them, although the user and the Stand share damage, to damge the user of a Swarm Type Stand it's necessary to hurt most of the Stand's individuals, which is very hard. - Integrated Stands are Stands that don't posses a physical form, instead being part of the user's body or manifesting simply as a superpower the user can access. - Bound Stands are Stands bound to a certain object, either vehicles, weapons or tools, and because of that, they can be seem by normal people. (Stand Appearances): There a five different types of appearances a Stand can have, being: Natural Humanoid, a Stand that resembles an humanoid creature with organic features; Artificial Humanoid, a Stand that resembles robots or mechanical life forms, while still being humanoid; Natural Non-Humanoid, a Stand that posses the appearance of a non-humanoid life form, either animal or plant-like; Artificial Non-Humanoid, a Stand that posses a mechanical appearance, resembling a machine or a tool and being non-humanoid and Phenomenon, a Stand that doesn't posses an appearance (Integrated Stands). (Stand Rushes): A fast barrage of attacks performed by Stands with high speed, delivering multiple strikes in a rush often accompanied by a battle cry before or during the rush of attacks. The battle cries can be onomatopeia like (e.g., Ora! Ora! Ora!), screams (e.g., Ubushaaaa!) or actual words (e.g., Useless! Useless! Useless!). (Act Stands): When a person with weak fighting spirit, but high potential for personal growth acquires a Stand. The user starts out with a weak Stand (Act 1), but can evolve it further as they grow as a person (e.g., Act 2, Act 3), the Stand's development stops when the user finishes their development. - The user of and Act Stand can summon previous Acts even after evolving past them, but cannot summon multiple Acts at once. - When an Act Stand evolves, their appearance and even abilities will change and develop further. (The Bow and Arrow): A special set of a bow and multiple arrows that can awaken a person's Stand by piercing them, only the arrow's piercing tip is required for this process. When a person is pierced by an Arrow, if they have enough spiritual strenght they'll awaken a Stand, if not, the contact with the arrow will be fatal, leading into the person's death by a virus. - The Bow and the Arrows came from a meteorite that crashed into a underpopulated region of Cape York, Greenland in 1978, it was later found and forged into the Arrows and ended up scattered all around the world. - When a member of a bloodline with a strong psychic link is pierced by the Arrow, other family members of the same bloodline might also start developing a Stand, in this case, if one of the family members doesn't posses a fighting spirit, they'll get sick due to not being able to control their Stands, having a something similar to a high fever, however, if the person responsible for the Arrow's influence dies, the family member is cured instantly. - The Arrow is able to sense when a nearby being is worthy of gaining and starts vibrating towards it. - If a Stand User is pierced by the Arrow after developing their Stand, it can sometimes lead onto the user's Stand developing a new ability. - If a Stand is pierced by an Arrow, it can lead onto the Stand changing it's form, evolving and gaining a new ability, these evolved Stands are reffered to as Requiem Stands. After achieving Requiem, the Stand usually absorbs the Arrow in some way, either merging with it or holding it, however, if the Arrow is taken away from the Stand fast enough, the Requiem transformation will revert. - If a user doesn't posses enough strenght to control their Stand after it became a Requiem, the user will lose control and the Stand will become independent, no longer connected with the user and acting on it's own. #Vampires# - A vampire is a race of beings who previously were humans that evolved through the usage of the Stone Mask, they posses fangs, burn in the sun, have high-level regeneration and don't age. There's almost no vampires currently alive in the world, although they were slightly more common on more on older times. - Vampires have the ability to suck blood out of other beings' bodies by piercing them with their fingers. - Vampires can create zombies by injecting vampiric extract onto either dead or living bodies, if perfected, a vampire can use this technique to even create other vampires. - Vampires have enhanced senses, superhuman strenght and agility as well as being able to fully manipulate their bodies at will, giving them a wide array of possible techniques and abilities. - By vaporizing the moisture in the bodies, vampires can freeze their own body parts and transfer the loss of heat by touch, effectively freezing an opponent. This technique is very effective against Hamon, as it cancels blood flow. - Vampires are able to hypnotise others to due their biding, although Hamon energy and high spiritual strenght can nulify it. - Vampires are able to expel pressurized body fluid from their eyes with a technique called Space Ripper Stingy Eyes. - A vampire can create flesh buds from their own cells and insert them into the brains of living beings, subtly making them more susceptible to the vampire's influence. Over the course of several years, the flesh bud gradually devours its host's brain; if the vampire who created the flesh bud dies, the flesh bud fuses with the host on a cellular level, mutating them beyond recognition. - If someone tries to remove the flesh bud, it grows tentacles in an attempt to kill both the host and the one trying to remove it. When not attached to its host, similarly to a vampire, flesh buds are weak to sunlight and Hamon. (Zombies): Zombies are undead creatures created by vampires, they're rotting and decaying, while also possesing superhuman strenght and agility. Zombies burn in sunlight. - If a human has enough willpower, they can maintain their personality and appearance even after becoming a zombie, although a more distorted version due to their bloodlust and hunger. (Stone Mask): The Stone Mask is an artifact that when used can transform humans in vampires and members of the Tribe of Darkness onto Pillar Men. When in contact with blood, the Stone Mask extends sharp tendrils that pierce that wearer's skull and brains, activing a hidden portion of their bodies that turns them into a vampire/Pillar Men. - The Stone Mask has the appearance of a stone mask with sharp eye holes, full closed lips with fangs and a ridge extending from the bottom of the forehead connecting to another spiral-shaped ridge. The Stone Mask usually has cracks on it, due to it's ancient origins. - There are almost no Stone Masks on the world, as they were mostly destroyed, however, there were a dozen of them scattered around the world during older times. - The Stone Masks were created by members of the Tribe of Darkness that wished to reach further levels of power. (Tribe of Darkness): The Tribe of Darkness were an ancient race of subterranean beings that survive by absorving energy from animals and plants. Due to their weakness to sunlight, they dwelled underground. They possesed superhuman physicality and extraordinary longevity. - The Tribe of Darkness lived in harmony, long before the emergence of any human civilizations, until a group of them created the Stone Masks and became Pillar Men, extinguishing most of the race. (Pillar Men): The Pillar Men were a group of the Tribe of Darkness that created the Stone Mask, after using it on themselfs they gained monstrous strenght, durability and speed and superhuman intelligence, along with supernatural powers that esteemed from their high-level body manipulation. The Pillar Men are a small group, with only about four individuals. - The Pillar Men can absorb other life forms by any form of physical contact, digesting them with their body. - The Pillar Men can turn into stone and have been in a deep slumber somewhere in the world, waiting to be discovered and resume their plans. - The more experienced Pillar Men have a special fighting style based around a certain element (e.g., light, fire, wind, water) and they call techniques develop around these as Modes. - The Pillar Men's objective is to find the Super Aja and use the stone to become the Ultimate Life Forms. (Red Stone of Aja): The Red Stone of Aja is a type of gem that can absorb and refract light hundreds of millions of time, creating a beam of light. When a perfect Red Stone of Aja is found, it is know as a Super Aja, which posses an even stronger refracting capability than a normal Aja. - Super Ajas are extremely rare and only one exists on the entire world. (Ultimate Life Form): By inserting a Super Aja onto a Stone Mask, a Pillar Men can pierce themselfs a second time with it, causing them to lose all of their weakness, including to Hamon and sunlight, becoming truly immortal and capable of morphing and shapeshifting to a celular degree to copy any structure from any life form on the planet.
