Scrapped Content

## Scrapped Ideas

In the original days, meme-based storytelling meant anything goes. This left room for the community to generate strange yet endearing ideas that are still being used in the story today, and it also left room for a LOT of things that got cut, either for being too silly or not fitting in with where the story ended up going.

### The Bigs

* Big John was originally the third member of the Big Brothers Three. He was taken out after a dispute with the original creators, and replaced with the Big Contest winner, Big Iron.
* Thoko loved his DS and was never seen without it. When it broke in a fight with the BOVC, Big Orca bought Nintendo out. This lead to them using stand-based slave labor to make their products. This was never used because we do not have the rights.

### The Historical Figures

* Cleopatra, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, and later Alexander Graham Bell were a major part of the original meme-based story, revived by Doppio’s stand and the Soul. Abraham Lincoln was the closest to being a good guy, helping the Soul Searchers at times.

### Stand Changes

* Several stands were developed early on, but changed because they didn’t hold up, or the community liked other, newer ideas better.
* One of the popular ideas for Jolene’s stand was Moonage Daydream, a butterfly based swarm stand. Jolene’s stand’s name and abilities were later determined by two contests.
* Thoko’s Game Over was an act stand-based stand that would eventually be able to bring video games to life, and trap people inside video games. This was scrapped because it is silly.
* Jibby’s unique situation gives him two stands, Starships and Rasputin, both of which will be determined by the community as time goes on.
* Big Iron has had a few stand ideas, changing even though she was a contest winner.
* Big Orca’s stand is to be determined, but there are several interpretations of Ocean Man.

### Alternate Universe Counterparts

* The universe that Parts 7-8 is set in, often called the SBR-verse, is an alternate universe of the original, in which the previous parts are set in, using alternate versions of characters from previous parts. Part 7 is an alternate Part 1, and Part 8 is an alternate Part 4. In this line of thinking, the fan created Part 9 would be the alternate Part 6.
* This led to a lot of the submissions from the community a very 1-to-1 SBR-verse version of an original universe character or concept, with little regard for the creation of new ideas in the story. Both Part 7 and Part 8 are quite distinct from their origins, the references acting more as Easter eggs at times, so simply mashing together two random established characters was not going to cut it. The Creative Team decided to keep these AU ideas to a minimum, or change them in unique and clever ways.

### Original Universe Connections

* One of the more popular fan ideas was to connect the universe in which Parts 1-6 is set in with the universe that Parts 7-8 is set in, usually somehow involving Shizuka Joestar or Emporio Alnino. One of the submissions to the spreadsheet was Remote Romance, which potentially connected the world of Silver Soul to our own, real life world.

### Contest Losers

* Many submissions to contests gained small followings of their own.
* Perhaps they will be incorporated in a minor way?
