The Joestar Clan

Clan Lore

Stand Origins

In the midst of a fierce battle's final moments, a resounding cry echoed across the world - "ZA WORLDO". Time itself froze, yet amidst the temporal stasis, a lone warrior surged forward, landing a devastating punch on both the villain and himself, propelling them into another universe. As the sun rose, the villain was vanquished, leaving only a solitary golden arrow in his stead. Unaware of the presence of the ethereal man behind him, the observer, lacking any chakra, remained oblivious to what was now known as a stand.

Clan Formation

Following a prolonged period of recovery, Jotaro Kujo embarks on a journey to the mountains with a woman, and together, they bring forth a child adorned with the infamous star on their back. In time, other descendants of the Joestar clan converge upon the same secluded mountain hideout. There, for centuries, they choose to isolate themselves from the outside world, dedicating their lives to honing this newfound power that sets them apart from the abilities they have known. Amidst the serenity of the mountains, they train diligently and unravel the mysteries of their unique gifts.

Playing A Joestar

When embodying a member of the Joestar clan, it's essential to understand that you won't typically be a direct descendant of any Joestar from the show. Instead, your character may be a distant cousin or a great-grandchild, ensuring that the lineage remains distinct and diverse. Please refrain from creating characters claiming to be the direct son of Jotaro or any prominent Joestar, as that would deviate from the established lore. Let's respect the lineage and history of the Joestar clan while exploring the exciting possibilities and unique stories of our own characters. Enjoy your journey in the Joestar universe!

Joestar Clan

A man travels around the globe trying to find a new place to set up camp with his wife. After traveling for 7 days, the couple eventually stumbles into the Land of Water. Being surroundered...ground, unconsious. - They were surrounded by Jonin, and as they hold their weapons, the man lets out a single shout. Almost instantaneously, the five Jonin fell to the ground, unconcious.

They proceed to run off, eventually finding a mountain. They spend days on days crafting a giant temple made of pure stone, known as Mount Bizzare, with the center focus of the temple being a golden arrow said to give the people that it pierces magical powers. The Symbol of the Temple? A Star.

Starting at level 1, when casting a Joestar Clan Hijutsu, you may use Charisma in place of the normal casting modifer. Also, due to this you have a hard time summoning constructs. You may not choose any subclass that would create a construct as a part of one of it's features. You may also not take the Bloodline Latent feat.

It's name must be a music reference of some kind and shares your actions. The stand acts on your turn, sharing your action economy. Your stand uses the following statistics and follows the following rules;

Your Stand can cast any jutsu you know using it's own statistics, and can use any Joestar clan features. you can as if you used them. However it does not gain your class features.
Shares your Hitpoints and Chakra Points
If you and your Stand would make a saving throw against the same effect, you only make one save, using the higher bonus, instead of two saves, and suffer the effects only once, not twice
When the Stand would make a saving throw it calculates its save bonus with half of your Proficincy Bonus + Its own ability score.
Gains a plus 2 to any 2 stats for each bonus to your Charisma Modifer (Max 20).
