A Bizarre New World: A JoJo's Bizarre Adventure RPG Sign Up & Discussion Thread

[Yun Lao]

Welcome to the year 0022 P.I. or 2043 A.D. for all of you old-fashioned folk.

On December 21, 2021, three meteorites struck what was once the United States of America, setting off a chain of reactions that forever changed the world...but you already knew that.

What you didn't know was that your father, Johannes Joestar, had recently passed away. Regardless of your relationship with him (whether or not you even knew about said relationship), your filial piety, curiosity, or maybe that hefty check which hinted at a massive inheritance has brought you to the Joestar Manor in what will begin a journey across this Bizarre New World

___________

Greetings and welcome to my JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game.

This game is set in an alternate (alternate) universe where the supernatural events of global proportions have occurred after the impact of three meteors in the USA, fracturing the country and resulting in the United Unions of the American Continents (or UUAC) being formed in its place. From these impact zones, the ash and debris filling the air and moving in all directions bring with it abnormal and supernatural reports although there appears to be little consistency in its effects.

As for your characters, they begin to notice little changes recently in their lives. Some may notice a star-shaped birthmark on the back of their necks that didn't belong there before while others had it since birth and all have fallen ill with some unknown disease, plaguing them with feverish nightmares and the lingering feeling that something was watching them. Then came the letter, delivered in various ways, but all stating the same thing: their father, Johannes Joestar, had passed away. Whether or not your parent(s)/guardian(s) had informed them of their lineage early on, their mothers had kept it a secret, or anything else and in between, your characters are being summoned to attend the reading of his will.

From there, expect some shenanigans that'll send you across the former united states.

-----------
Weight/Height: 132 lbs/5'5"
Eye/Hair Color: Eye color - Hazel / Hair color - Black with Violet highlights.
Personality:
Her upbringing placed her in the spotlight more times than she was comfortable with, yet she was always hidden in her mother's shadows. That is, until she was able to step out from behind them. She learned to adapt, eventually finding her own path, which is anything but a straight line. Logic and reason have their place, but who you are and what life you live, your own personal reality is what you make of it.
Base Descriptors - Adventurous, Creative, Judgemental, Opinionated, Stubborn, Practical. When someone ignores her advice, or acts is a way she thinks they shouldn't, she often refers to them as idiots.

Background: Immigrated to America in December 2017, currently living in Fort Lee, NJ. Raised by a single mother, a formerly successful Hong Kong Action Movie star who shifted careers for some reason, possibly because she had a child, and became a successful Broadway actress and singer. Before Wen was born, her mother often traveled to other countries for work. She claimed not to know who Jinny's father was. Jinny learned Martial Arts from her mother who insisted that she learn how to defend herself but never explained why.

It wasn't until after her mother's death that Jinny began to learn more about the secrets her mother was hiding from her, including who her father was and what the real reason was for leaving Hong Kong. Some questions remained, and a letter in the mail promised the chance to learn more answers.

Other: The Tattoos she wears are of her own design, applied by a friend and fellow artist. The designs are a nod to a comment made once to her by someone she respected. That she was a 'Tempest outgrowing it's teapot'. While she grew up being overshadowed by her mother's fame, she would one day take the world by storm on her own terms.
Note: Wen is her surname, her given name is Jinghu. People unfamiliar with Chinese names often call her Wen, which is fine with her. As a child, she often went by the name 'Jenny'.

Stand
Name: Genesis
Appearance:


Stand Ability: Land of Confusion - Genesis' primary attribute is that she has a Non-Newtonian Liquid Form with Paint Like Properties. As such, her appearance can shift from that of a high viscosity semi-solid humanoid form to that of a mobile, shape-shifting liquid form of varying viscosity and varying colors. Her ability comes from a fume that she can emit. The fumes, once inhaled, alter perceptions and generate hallucinations. These hallucinations tend to take the form of the world around a person looking like either a surrealistic or abstract painting. Note: Fumes have no effect on Stand User.

Conditions/Drawbacks:

• Exposure to Extreme Cold reduces it's Speed
• Exposure to Extreme Heat/Fire reduces it's Persistence
• Confusion Fumes will affect anyone within range. It can be targeted, but once released it can't be controlled.
• Effects of the Confusion Fumes begin to wear off once Genesis is out of range.
• Effects of Confusion Fumes wear off after a certain amount of time related to it's Persistence Stat.
• Effects of the Fumes wear off faster outdoors/outside than inside.
• Range of Fumes may be limited if there is a strong wind or air movement to disperse it.
• Confusion Fumes are not toxic and technically not dangerous.
• Note: the Danger of the Confusion Fumes comes in how those affected react to it, and how Vulnerable it might leave them.
• Due to it's nature, controlling Genesis may require detailed manipulation, concentration, and focus.
• While others might refer to their Stands as 'it', Wen insists on calling Genesis 'She/her' even though she knows it's not sentient. She also sometimes calls her/refers to her by the nickname 'Genny'.

Huh, was not expecting Jcog; welcome aboard.
A quick glance tells me this game should prove interesting with the characters so far.

A few goals of mine today are:

1.) Posting some of the major lore/world setting details
2.) Going over some of the profiles already posted. Not a final look through, but just checking to make sure if I need to clarify some things with the stats.
3.) Post Johannes' profile

During his childhood his Mother had connections with The Ukrainian Mafia and used his connections to threatening anyone who bully Boris.

If threats didn't work Boris's mother used her connections end up make any person who was bully Boris disappeared, and sometimes that person's entire family. Boris never question his mother's actions as a kid. Boris' mother had these connections with the Ukrainian Mafia because her uncle was one of the capos in the the Ukrainian Mafia.

During his teenage years he developed anger issues , and took up strengthen his body, and learning Boyovyy Hopak from his grand uncle . At the age of 16 Boris was expel form his school for beating one of his fellow classmates nearly to death, because they made fun of his size.

Years later in December 2042 at the age of 29 got out of the Ukrainian Mafia after learn that all the people he took out with his grand uncle were people who once had bully him in the past , and the hit were requests from his mother.

「Stand」
Name: Big Time

Appearance:



Height: 7'0"

weight: Unknown.


Stand Ability: Big Time

With it's long hand Big time can increase the size of anything ( except its stand user) enough that it collapses under its own weight. it can target individual parts such as heart to introduce heart failure and cardiac arrest in a target by increasing the size of their heart. Big Time can freely stop the process of the ability or return a enlarged target to its normal size.

With it's short hand Big time can reduce the size of anything (expect its stand user). Like with increasing size the square cube law is still in effect. So when Big Time shrinks a organism such as a human they keep they same mass they have before and become denser as they shrink.

So when a human target is reduce to the size of a ant they would become so dense they would fall through any object their standing on, that's if they don't suffocated first. Big Time can freely stop the process of the ability or return an reduced target to its normal size. It's power is activated by wind up a spring with a clock key located on the back of it's head. Then two secondary springs with clock keys attached located on right and left side of it's head, make the Long hand and Short hands move ( Right for long hand and left for short hand.

Destructive Power (POW): 41( A)
Speed (SPD): 31 ( B)
Range (RGE): 1 ( E)
Persistence (PST): 31 ( B)
Precision (PRC): 21( C)

Development Potential (PNT): 50

Conditions/Drawbacks: Big Time's ability can only affect things in its line of sight and the range of its ability is 6 feet. Big Time can only use one of the clock hands on its face at a time. To reverse the process of its ability. Big Time has to stop one of the clock hands on his face and then move the clock hand one opposite to it.

Big time can't make things microscope or the size of sky scrappers because it follows the square-cube law. Trying to use Big Time's ability to make someone a giant or the size of an ant will end up killing the person the ability is used on. Big Time can use the square-cube law to its advantage, however, that same law can pose a problem depending on what the stand user wants to do with its ability.

The Size limit of an object is based on how much mass it takes for it to collapses under its own weight. For a human target that would be past 15 feet ( 15 feet is the maximum height Big Time can increase a human target without the human target collapsing under their own weight).

[Noldere]

Here's a question for everyone (well, more for the GM than anyone else at the moment as it's not clear how secret the invite to Father Joestar's will reading was):

Given the lads at KnS's... protectiveness of their prime client, what would the best background check money can buy reveal about you?

Given the lads at KnS's... protectiveness of their prime client, what would the best background check money can buy reveal about you?

Depends on a lot of variables, the most important being how much of a presence they have on the restoration of the internet (again, there is still a lot of public distrust when it comes to integrating with technology), and if they live in a matter where private investigators would be able to monitor them effectively.

Now if you're talking about Johannes, then you're going to very disappointed in how much money you've wasted as the man wasn't really subtle when it came to what he did. While the public at large knows just how prolific of a playboy he had been, it is relatively old news considering he had stopped around the same time the youngest of the PCs was born. The only mysteries the man did leave behind was who his children were (this topic has been approached several times with the whole inheritance deal being the latest, but save for this latest one, it's always ended with a cold trail) and the details of his last project.

When it comes to the secrecy of the invitation, then the public does know that there is one and there has and will be those claiming relations, but nothing of note has been claimed prior to the game's start.

THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED

「Ocasek 678」
It began in the summer of 2021 when scientists discovered a meteoroid they would name Ocasek 678, one whose path was dangerously close to Earth. Despite the threat, most people of Earth were apathetic to its approach, having grown fatigued of one big panic after another. After all, this wasn't the first time such a news story had come up. Unfortunately, we would not be telling this tale if that was the case. Looking back, it seemed like a cruel joke as 9 years earlier, everyone had been abuzz about the supposed Mayan apocalypse when their records had been revealed to end abruptly on December 21, 2012. Some with darker humor say that someone must have gotten the last two numbers confused. It was on December 21, 2021, that Ocasek 678 reached the Earth, a majority of it burning up in the atmosphere with only a handful of sizeable striking the surface.

Salem, Massachusetts; Roswell, New Mexico; and Gibsonton, Florida: there were few little things that could be considered similarities between these cities before, but that had now changed as they were each struck by the fragments of the meteorite.

「The 25th Hour」
The first sign that everything had changed was when the clocks began to act up. The evening after the impact, at 0100 hours analog clocks paused for an hour before resuming, and digital ones displayed the time as 2500. As strong as our networks and cybersecurity are, all it took was messing with the clocks for a majority of computers to become little more than paperweights. Civilization ground to a halt, crippled from the disconnect. The casualties would have been horrific were it not for organizations like the Speedwagon Foundation, who had prepared for the worst of emergencies from the beginning. Reeling from three impact events already, the United States could not recover from the 25th Hour. Within the following year, the U.S. would collapse, merging with Canada and Mexico to become the North American Republic which would later expand with the inclusion of those of South America to become the United Unions of the American Continents.

「The Old Stars and Stripes」
Some people don't like change, especially when it comes to governments and when the United States forced to dissolve and eventually merging into the UUAC, there were some who protested this, believing it to be one of many conspiracies. In the chaos of a country trying to rebuild from several disasters, it was fairly easy for one to exploit those outraged and vulnerable, leading to the creation of the Old Stars and Stripes, a militant group seeking to bring the United States back to its former glory. The O.S.S.'s leadership comprising of former military almost seemed ready from the beginning, as they wasted little time in assuming command of Roswell.

「Night Fever」
Alongside physical destruction from the impact events and global technological disaster, the end of 2021 also brought with it a new global pandemic in what was named the Night Fever. The first outbreaks were recorded in areas close to the impact zones but quickly spread to the point where cases were reported from areas on the opposite side of the world. Its symptoms were flu-like yet doctors were baffled to find a solution to it, as no treatment affected it. Many who caught it would perish, their bodies seemingly attacking themselves until vital organs shut down and those who survived developed paranoia and anxiety with some mentioning that they always felt watched.

While there was never a cure or treatment found for Night Fever, it seems to vanish on its own and only becomes noticeable among the population every so often. It was during the latest flare-up that your characters caught it.

___________

A BIZARRE NEW WORLD

Life, for better or worse, has become a bit bizarre, although those born after the impact might not see it this way having known nothing else.

Some who have known the before and after often say that when the meteors struck, nothing had been taken away, but rather they had added to it. This contradiction of words is perhaps the best and only means to describe the changes that have occurred for these regions do not appear to be areas recovering from devastation; they are as if they had been replaced by something more.

「Salem, Massachusetts」
At first glance, Salem appears to have been the least affected by the impact, save for some overgrowth of nature; that is until you notice that a sapling can sprout into a fully grown tree in the span of a mere day. Already reeling from the impact itself, most places affected were overran by nature shortly after and those with enough resources have been fighting a never-ending battle since then to keep the overabundance of flora at bay. Lately, there has been a growing push to stop wasting resources and coexist with nature, inspired by those who have learned to adapt to the ever-changing forests. Comprising of a 100-mile radius from the town, the Salem Impact Zone (or S.I.Z.), takes up a chunk of New England and due to the constant growth of flora, most transportation and export/imports rely on the ports.

That is not why Salem has fascinated so many nowadays. That would be because the city has become a center of all things magical, as the town's history has seemingly come to life. Witches, wizards, and everyone in between thrive and study to their heart's contents (within reason), encouraged by the local government who seek to avoid repeating their morbid past and as result, new life-changing innovations in both mundane and supernatural have become daily occurrences. It is said that Salem is run by two, the mayor and Moonchild, the de facto leader of those familiar with the occult.

「Roswell, New Mexico」
No one has heard a peep from Roswell since the impact, save for rare statements from the O.S.S., so it is unknown just lies within in. When the meteor struck, it was as if the very land rose up to defy it as the entirety of Roswell and the surrounding 20 mile radius now sit atop a towering mesa. With its history of shady government experiments, extraterrestrial occurrences, and sudden silence, the plateau looms ominously over its neighbors.

「Gibsonton, Florida」
Out of the three, the Gibsonton impact zone (G.I.Z.) which spans from Tampa to Orlando, has been the most oddly affected. The landscape, warped and distorted, appears like something out of a dream and just as indescribable. Shortly following the impact, in what could be considered a rather distasteful move by Lucky Land, the company annexed the entire impact zone, turning it all into a massive theme park unlike anything ever seen on Earth.
