So the dub for the anime just came out, and I felt like making a separate topic, to keep the Animu topic from being flooded by discussions about beautiful Duwangs. I'm working on a JoJosona for myself, rather than adapt Ronnie and Karla into that universe. Trying to come up with a name for the Stand. I'm trying to pick from Space Jam, All Star, Fly Me to the Moon, Rules of Nature, Roundabout, and Around the World. |

I wonder if there's anybody else here who watched it, other than you and me. |

May Specula Grant you Bountiful Spec!

Well, I've watched the anime and read the manga up to Part 7: Steel Ball Run. I should probably start reading part 8 soon.
Chew
Is that an actual term used by some fans? I don't really see it anywhere. If it is, well, it sounds worse than 'gemsona'.
Well, if Jail House Lock can be used (since it's based off the song, which is also a name of a movie), I guess it would work. |

Well the Stand's powers are related to gravity. It's mainly used as a defensive measure, by way of deflecting attacks. So a thrown rock would just end up orbiting rather than doing any harm. |

So a tad like C-Moon, just more control of the gravitational field and (I assume) less range? Out of the names you suggested, I would say「Around the World」would fit the most since you did mention orbit. 'Fly Me to the Moon' sounds like it would be a chapter (like "The Requiem Plays Quietly", or "The New Moon's Gravity"). |

I have no idea what a C-Moon is. I'm following along with the anime, and only know about the JoJos after Part III and beautiful Duwang's because of Tumblr. Well that's the main use, but there are a few extensions, like levitation and crushing stuff under its own weight. Y'know, cool gravity stuff. |

Ah, well C-Moon is from part 6. I would recommend reading the manga from part 4 onward, as the stands get crazy and pretty original in terms of abilities. There's one stand that can turn things into dinosaurs. That and reading it would prevent accidental copying of either abilities of stands or their names. Although, even Hirohiko Araki will sometimes make several stands that have the same ability (there's not too many though, I can only think of one off the top of my head). Even the stand designs get cooler in many ways. In my opinion, I often find the main antagonist's stands to be some of the best looking ones. |

Too lazy. Reading is for nerds.
Turns out that I lied. Ronnie Byrne |「Tenacious D」: A demonic-looking four-armed stand that grants Ronnie pyrokinetic abilities. He can overlap his stand with his body to form a protective shell that shields him from harm and enhances his own abilities. Unlike most stands, damage to this stand won't hurt Ronnie, and it will regenerate after being destroyed. The downside is that this stand can't go very far from Ronnie. Since this stand doesn't share damage with Ronnie, Ronnie has a harder time of telling when it's about to hit the breaking point. The stand is also retaliatory. Ronnie can't make it attack first. Someone else must make the first move, which sucks for him. While this stand can recover from destruction, the requirement for bringing it back is rather odd. Ronnie must drain a pint of his own blood, mix it with insanely hot peppers, and drink the hellish concoction. And he must do this every time it breaks. Don't ask how he figured this part out. Karla |「Hooked on a Feeling」: A giant, robotic stand with diesel-punk features. Has two shoulder-mounted tank cannons that are fed like a revolver, and the fingers and toes are jointed treads. This stands does exactly what you think it does. It's main weakness it that it can't attack people that Karla hasn't marked for death with a pen. |

Because my characters are in a 'figuring shit out' state like 95% of the time, I went back to the drawing board on Ronnie. Decided to make this version similar to the very first Ronnie. That version was technically a vampire, who absorbed blood through a guitar(Don't ask.) So, Ronnie is a vampire. His stand, 「Tenacious D」, protects him from harmful UV radiation. 「Tenacious D」: This stand resembles a four armed demon with black skin, and flames where hair would be. This stand's range is incredibly short, being unable to move very far from Ronnie. Instead Ronnie overlaps the stand with himself, forming a protective barrier that shields him from attack and sunlight. 「Tenacious D」 has several upsides, and very few downsides. It enhances Ronnie's already great Vampire abilities, and enables him to launch fire attacks. This stand can be damaged and destroyed without hurting Ronnie, and will instead regenerate after some time has passed and Ronnie has refilled on blood. Of course, these weaknesses are pretty obvious. The stand can't move very far, meaning that Ronnie has to run in to for any kind of physical attack. Because he can't feel damage done to his stand, he has a harder time figuring out when to pull back and retreat, which occasionally leads to him getting his ass kicked. His stand's regeneration period leaves him vulnerable, as he is a mere vampire that can be beaten by shining a UV flashlight on him. Ronnie himself likes to use his stand to walk around in the daytime, since normal people can't see it. Of course, this also means he'll try to avoid any conflicts, since he knows that getting his ass-kicked while the sun is up means death. |
