Altera the Hun Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Okay, so this was something I put together on the old Tales Chronicles before it was moved. As such, the source topic has been unfortunately lost. Not like it matters, though, since the concept was based around a certain Hirohiko Araki manga to begin with. For those of you who don't know, a "Stand" is the physical manifestation of one's "Natural Ability". It can come in various forms, ranging from humanoid to animalistic to weaponry to funky-shaped inanimate objects. There's even been cases of a Stand being an entire room, or in one case a full-sized, fully-operational oil tanker. The stand comes with a special ability, often acting as a superpower (Some exceptions. Hello, Survivor.) as well as a name. Here are the requirements for creating a Stand: Name: (Stands are named after Tarot cards and Egyptian gods, as well as Western Bands ("Moody Blues" and "Red ot Chili Peppers"), Albums ("Gold Experience" and "White Album"), Songs ("Man in the Mirror" and "Another One Bites The Dust"), and in some cases the musicians themselves ("Debt Collector Marilyn Manson"). Since Tarot Cards and Egyptian Gods have all been used up in the actual series, please stick to the musical theme. Stand names also reflect the stand's ability and/or it's physical appearance. For example, the stand "Man in the Mirror" allows the user to create and enter parallel dimensions through mirrors, and "Gold Experience" is a gold-hued stand. There can be a stretch to the naming convention, but as long as the name is somehow related to the stand, it's acceptable.) Ability: (Can literally be anything under the sun, as long as it can be used in some way or another in a fight. Remember to keep it limited- Superman Syndrome is not appreciated.) Physical appearance: (Once again, if you can think it up and it makes sense in some way or another, then go for it. Hell, when you have stands that are Working Oil Tankers, anything is acceptable.) A list of all the existing stands can be found on Wikipedia. And please, refrain from Green Lantern jokes. I'll probably put up some examples in a bit. TL;DR: Just read the crap on the template and fill it out accordingly. It's not as hard as it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zkirsche Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Name: Cursed. Appearance: A grey haired man with the saddest expression on his face. Where's a tattered green jumper over a dirty white shirt with a pair of faded blue jeans. Walks bare footed. Ability: Doubles the probability of an event occuring (E.G. dying from a heart attack, being struck by lightning. Etcetera) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
