You know the thing about Stand Users? They always come together for good or ill. Though I have to say, today it's definitely for ill...
~~~
This is Standoff. You know Wiki Warfare? Yeah, this game's a deathmatch like that.

Except instead of wiki articles, you get Stands. What's a Stand? If you don't already know, just read up [here].

Now then. I'd just like you to note that you don't pick a Stand from the wiki to get. That would be ridiculous. Everyone would go all Star Platinum and The World and Killer Queen... basically the best Stands.

Instead, I'm asking you to submit one piece of music via PM(or Discard DM) when you go IN.

It's simple as that. I'll make your own personal Stand from that piece of music.

No, it doesn't have to have lyrics, though in such a case you will probably be more surprised by the abilities.

After that?

I'll drop you off somewhere, sometime. The only person who gets to go home is the one who survives till the end.

Oh, and you may be able to evolve your Stands or gain sub-Stands somehow... just saying. Might involve killing, might not.

Turn 0: The Beginning of a Lot of Things

((Stick to your own spoiler only please! Failure to do so is metagaming! Secrecy is very important to Stand-on-Stand tactics!))

Spoiler: The Two Eternities (click to show/hide)

You awaken to find yourself in a cushy hotel room, lying in a comfy bed. There's a note next to the bed on an end table saying it's paid for for three nights. You don't expect to be here that long.

It's morning. You'll be done by the sunset!

Stand Info:
Handclap:
Handclap is a humanoid-type Stand. It bears the appearance of a man wearing a blue and white bodysuit, wearing a faceless half-and-half mask.
Handclap's Destructive Power is at B. While it possesses lower physical strength, its ability is highly destructive and versatile.
Handclap's Speed is at D. It focuses more on using its ability anyways.
Handclap's Range is at C. It can only go a short distance from its user.
Handclap's Durability is at C: average.
Handclap's Precision is at C: average. It's not the most precise at targeting specific targets but it has ways of aiming.
Handclap's Developmental Potential is at B. Its ability has many possible applications.
~~~
Handclap's special ability is to create an implosion by clapping its hands.
This implosion draws in basically everything in a wide area, sparing the user.
Notably, this implosion has a secondary effect: someone or something that reaches the heart of the implosion will be "marked".
Instead of generating its own implosion, Handclap's hand clap can cause a marked target to generate an implosion that does not directly harm them but can cause damage due to flying objects.
Naturally, this implosion can mark targets as well.
Which can be set off.
In short...
it's a roughly self-propagating implosion.
Handclap's secondary implosions are all the same moderate power level, but Handclap itself's implosions can be tuned to smaller or higher levels.

You find yourself in a library, lying back in an armchair that someone decided made a good place to read. The library door opens and you see a librarian enter and...

"How'd you get in here! The library just opened a minute ago!"

Stand Info:
Sandstorm:
Sandstorm is an artificial non-humanoid type Stand. It takes the form of a suit of form-fitting golden armor that can be summoned piece by piece or all at once.
Sandstorm's Destructive Power is at A. It actually has a low base damage, but its Speed massively multiplies its damage.
Sandstorm's Speed is at B to EX. This is due to Sandstorm's variable nature.
Sandstorm's Range is E. It can only be summoned on its user and cannot extend any further.
Sandstorm's Durability is at C. It does bolster, but not much, durability.
Sandstorm's Precision is at C: average.
Sandstorm's Developmental Potential is at D. There isn't much to develop with this Stand.
~~~
Sandstorm, as mentioned, has varying effects. To put it simply, it enhances the speed of its user depending on what pieces are summoned. Gloves would speed up hands, greaves would speed up legs... the chest plate would accelerate heart rate and breathing(and is basically required for the other pieces beyond the lowest level)
The catch is that the use of this Stand tires the user proportionally.
Summoning Sandstorm's full set would turn the user into a force of speed so great the Flash would be challenged, but it would exhaust the user so quickly, even with the accelerated heartbeat of the chestplate, that they could only last a few seconds.
Summoning partial pieces of the armor to boost the speed of specific body parts would be more efficient, if less powerful.

You find yourself sitting in a quaint coffeeshop. The "Grey Cafe". You sip at the coffee mug you somehow acquired and notice how the barista nods at you.

Mm.

Mm.

Well...
let's get to it.

Stand Info:
Lifelight:
Lifelight is a phenomenon-type Stand. It manifests as one or more arrows apparently made of solid light.
Lifelight's Destructive Power is EX. You do not want to get into a straight fight with Lifelight due to its immense destructive capabilities.
Lifelight's Speed is A. Those arrows move fast.
Lifelight's Range is B. The arrows can go a fair distance from the user but aren't good for very long-ranged attacks.
Lifelight's Durability is N/A as it is a phenomenon-type Stand.
Lifelight's Precision is B. The arrows can hit small but not microscopic targets with relative ease and focusing.
Lifelight's Developmental Potential is C. You may be able to learn a few tricks and train, but it's not hyper-versatile.
~~~
Lifelight manifests as arrows of light that have differing capabilities depending on how many are summoned.
At maximum numbers, Lifelight basically turns into a gating storm of inaccurate light arrows that deal low but still notable damage.
As you reduce the number of arrows you fire at once, control, precision, and power all go up. A few arrows could for example curve to hit their target and pierce through steel...
But a single arrow with Lifelight detonates with an immensely powerful focused explosion and can home in on targets, and even let you see through it.

You wake up to a... not very bright morning. Antique purple drapery covers the window...

And you're lying in a decidedly antique bed frame, all wooden and carved. And your surroundings... you're in some sort of old mansion.

Hm.

Good terrain.

Stand Info:
In The Flame:
In The Flame is an artificial non-humanoid type Stand. It is also a Bound Stand, being bound to a spool of red thread..
In The Flame's Destructive Power is at N/A. It possesses no destructive ability.
In The Flame's Speed is at N/A due to being a Bound Stand.
In The Flame's Range is A. While not infinite, the thread it leaves functions up to several miles away from the user.
In The Flame's Durability is E. It can be cut as easy as normal thread... but this is something mitigated by its ability.
In The Flame's Precision is at A due to affecting others so precisely.(edited)
In The Flame's Developmental Potential is at A due to many different potential abilities.
~~~
In The Flame's string has an interesting effect. When it touches someone other than the User, it melds with their flesh.
Once it melds, it restricts the victim's movement. To put it simply, they have to follow the thread. If they try moving away from the thread, the thread will lock in place, blocking their movement. If they follow the thread with their movements, the thread will be absorbed into their body as they move.
Furthermore, someone trapped by In The Flame cannot cut the thread themselves, or by using their Stand.
Only the User of In The Flame can touch their Stand's thread without melding with it. They can move the thread around and freely cut it.
This has immense potential for traps and manipulations.

Spoiler: Tyrant Leviathan (click to show/hide)

You awake sitting on a bench next to some kind of barred fence. Looking at it... it looks like you're in one of those gated communities.

And everything surrounding it is... much worse quality.

Odds are there won't be any other Users in the community with you, so you'd better get moving.

Stand Info:
Fight to Change the World:
Fight to Change the World(henceforth FCW) is a natural humanoid-type Stand. It takes the form of an eight-foot tall giant of a man in red and brown armor, with a great beard and ruby-inlaid gauntlets. It wields a massive longsword.
FCW's Destructive Power is B. It's dang strong but not extremely so.
FCW's Speed is B. It can move quickly but not overwhelmingly so.
FCW's Range is C/A. While the Stand itself can only get a short radius from its user... it has a very potent long-ranged ability that can extend miles from the user.
FCW's Durability is A. It can tank an astounding level of force due to its armor.
FCW's Precision is C. It could be worse but it's hardly a specialty.
FCW's Developmental Potential is D. It's mostly focused on physical power and its special ability doesn't have much to develop.
~~~
Fight to Change the World, while powerful on its own, also has the ability to generate "soldiers". By stabbing something non-living with its sword, it can create a "soldier" out of that something using the material. There is no limit on the number of soldiers, and they can act independently on FCW's orders to fight. The soldiers can go within a few miles of the user, unlike FCW itself. The flip side is that the user of FCW cannot sense through the soldiers.

Do you take waitlist reservations? Cause I'd love to be part of a Jojo game.

Scout the mansion, looking for people(if spotted RUN THE HECK AWAY), locations of interest, resources for traps, and some clues as to the location of the mansion and it's history

[FallacyofUrist]

Do you take waitlist reservations? Cause I'd love to be part of a Jojo game.

Sure. That said people are selected at random from the waitlist when the next round starts(aside from the people from the previous round).

You can even send in a song but there's no guarantee I'll get you your Stand in advance.

Finish my Coffee.

More to the point, send a small thread of light out and around to get a view of the area from above, discretely. Just drinking my Coffee.


Note that light is usually invisible, no power, just sight to this one. Coffee...

[Greatness942]

Could you please add me to the waitlist? This looks fun!

[King Zultan]

I'd also like to be put on the waitlist.

Same here.

Get off that bench and walk around towards the more urban areas.

Feeling strange as something has changed. Whatever that change is, one needs to find out what it is.

Exit the hotel. Try to keep Handclap concealed.
