Julian Anderson

Joel Kujo more commonly known as Julian Anderson is the main Protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Crystal Cruise. He is a sickly man attempting to learn the Vibration Technique.

**Appearance**

Julian Anderson is a pale man of average height and stature. He has lime green eyes and dark green hair consisting of a fringe, some bangs on the left side and a protrusion on the right side at the top of his head. Julian normally wears a brown coat with what looks like belt straps on both sleeves. He is shown wearing what appears to be leather gloves and has a white undershirt. He wears brown jeans and brown boots with Velcro straps.

**Personality**

Julian's personality is best described as pessimistic. As soon as he enters the cruise ship he's already worried about the worst possible scenario and states that he doesn't have time for fun. After defeating Junichi Kira, Julian assumes that the cruise will be cancelled and that he will die in prison from his illness. While technically not an adult yet Julian dislikes getting taken care of by others and prefers to he self reliant disliking when others worry about him. He is shown to be frequently annoyed by his nurse Charlotte Smith however still cares about her and is grateful for her support.

Julian doesn't believe in luck or probability and believes in taking situations into his own hand. In battle he is calm and level headed. He is shown to be very creative with his uses of Vibration which is shown numerous times against Junichi Kira such as altering the molecular structure of his shirt to make it disperse the force of gunshots. Another trait of Julian worth noting is his vulgar nature. He seems to have no problem swearing despite his age and openly insults anyone who annoys him. Julian appears to be quite a generous and merciful person willing to help Ezekiel Abatine learn Vibration even though Ezekiel's automatic stand almost got him killed. He's also willing to help Sage Sun during a fight even though Sage Sun cheated in their game of Pool.

**Backstory**

Currently very little is actually known about Julian's past. Julian was born with a condition called CVID an immune deficiency disorder. Julian discovered Vibration while at a hospital and while the nature of his illness isn't exactly known his symptoms as well as the respirator he is shown wearing in a flashback panel imply Julian has some kind of raspitory illness. Initially when Julian discovered Vibration his symptoms got better however they began to slowly return. After Julian was diagnosed with CVID, the government offered Holly Kujo a carer's pension which she refused. The government took custody of Julian who was then looked after by Charlotte Smith. His mother abandoned him and never returned causing Julian to change his birthname Joel Kujo.

### Plot

**ULTRANumb**

Julian arrives ready to board the S.S Crystal Titanica with Charlotte. Charlotte questions him on if he brought his medication to which Julian tells her that he doesn't need to be 'babied'. Charlotte tries to help him relax however Julian just tells her that he has no time and needs to find answers. After spotting a juice bar and a man by the name of Junichi Kira. Julian asks Charlotte to take his suit case to their cabin before approaching Junichi. Julian asks Junichi about Vibration however is met with hostility by Junichi telling Julian that Vibration is none of his concern and that Julian will get him killed. Julian proceeds to insult Junichi before leaving with Junichi calling someone on his phone.

Julian later goes back to his Cabin with Charlotte when all of a sudden Charlotte is attacked by something invisible and starts to feel phantom pain. Julian tries to calm her down only to be attacked himself. This is when Julian starts using Vibration to create a radar where the waves of Vibration bounce off of things allowing him to detect things like a bay using sonar. Julian detects a Stand lurking behind Charlotte and describes it as a mass of energy. He tries to warn Charlotte of the danger but by the time he can she suffers another injury. Julian tries to fight this invisible mass of energy by using Vibration to change a lamps molecular structure into a sword however this fails and Julian is stabbed by the strange Stand. Charlotte then grabs his hand and the two flee to the Infirmary.

While at the Infirmary a nurse tells Julian and Charlotte that their injuries aren't fatal but that they need to stay at the Infirmary for a while to recover. Julian apologizes to Charlotte for dragging her into danger however she comforts him and explains to him that she knew there would be danger. Julian expressed confusion about this with Charlotte explaining to him how she came to this conclusion. Julian starts to feel phantom pains and the power cuts out with the room going dark. A nurse in the Infirmary is stabbed with Julian asking Charlotte to rescue the nurse while he distracts the enemy. Julian takes cover as Junichi Kira fires bullets at him. Junichi uses his stand to lure Julian out of hiding before shooting his gun at him. Julian is able to counteract this by using Vibration to alter the molecular structure of his shirt which allows him to disperse the force of the bullet like a bullet proof vest. Julian expresses that he recognizes Junichi Kira. Junichi responds by telling Julian his name, organization and objective to kill him. While Charlotte distracts Junichi, Julian uses Vibration to unravel his shirt into threads which he controls with Vibration and uses to snatch Junichi Kira's pistol away from him before threatening to shoot him if Junichi didn't answer his questions.

Julian is rendered unable to threaten or kill Junichi before anything happens as he begins to experience a loss of his sense of touch, causing him to fall over and rendered unable to get up due to ULTRANumb's hidden ability, which removes a person's sense of touch. Charlotte steps in the way of an otherwise fatal attack by the stand only for Julian to tell her not to sacrifice herself, requesting her help to hold onto some nails. Junichi Kira condescendingly tells Julian that Vibration can't increase the mass of the nails to which Julian explains that he won't be using Vibration to increase it's mass. Instead he uses a technique he names Vibration Launch. Julian turns the stored Vibrational energy in the nail into kinetic energy and launches it Junichi. ULTRAnumb deflects the nail only for it to keep ricocheting back to Junichi. After using this technique a few more times Junichi is overwhelmed and is defeated. Julian then expresses fear that the cruise will be cancelled and that he will die in prison from his illness however Charlotte explains to him that the Speed Wagon Foundation's Department Of Anomalies will likely cover it up and hide the incident from the public.

**Junkyard**

Julian shows signs that his illness is beginning to get worse and has a coughing fit to which Charlotte expresses concern. Julian tells her he won't be able to find any answers about enhancing the Vibration technique until he reaches the first island fearful that he will be attacked. Charlotte then suggests he searches for books about the Vibration technique in the library and convinces Julian to go. As he's browsing some books Ezekiel's automatic Stand begins to make suffer from symptoms of hypothermia before freezing his hand. Julian hears Ezekiel Abatine warn everyone they're in danger. Julian questions Ezekiel about what's happening before using Vibration to melt the ice covering his arm since the acceleration of matter caused by Vibration produces heat. Ezekiel after witnessing it is shocked causing his stand to deactivate. Ezekiel begs Julian to teach them about Vibration however Julian refuses and demands Ezekiel to tell him what Stands are and how he got his. Ezekiel proceeds to tell Julian all about Stands.

Ezekiel and Julian converse with Julian explaining to Ezekiel where he learned Vibration and that he's trying to strengthen it in order to cure an illness that his weakened immune system can't cure on it's own. Ezekiel suggests teaming up and Julian agrees with if but warns Ezekiel that there will be danger. He then falls from his chair due to one of the legs snapping which is now covered in rust. After questioning what even happened Ezekiel tells him the chair must have been old but Julian isn't satisfied by Ezekiel's explanation. He notices the rust spread to a pencil and then noticed a trail of it which he tracks back to a victim of rustage. Julian tries to calm Ezekiel down as he freaks out with one of Ezekiel's victims antagonizing them. Before Julian and Ezekiel can do much of anything the stranger is turned to rust by Antonio's Stand. Antonio reveals himself and tells Julian that he's a hitman hired by the speed wagon foundation. Julian then tells Ezekiel that he's going to end Antonio's career implying that he's going to kill or injure Antonio.

Julian Vibration Launches some nails at Antonio Rudolph but his Stand Junkyard blocks and rusts them. It then starts to rust the floor and the table Julian and Ezekiel jump up on top of. Julian and Ezekiel escape however Ezekiel is cut in the leg by Junkyard and his body starts to rust. Julian tells Ezekiel to exit the area as he notices the further they are from Junkyard the slower the rusting. Julian then uses Vibration to turn a chair into a hammer and tries to attack Antonio but Junkyard blocks and rusts it, the rust spreads up Julian's hammer and glove with Julian quickly removing the glove noticing his hand was not rusted. This allows Julian to figure out Antonio's weakness. He uses Vibration to add layers to his nails which allows them to bypass Junkyards ability. He manages to hit Antonio with his Vibration enhanced nails numerous times before getting frozen by Ezekiel's stand with Antonio surviving. Julian melts the ice with Vibration only for Antonio to reveal his stand can rust water causing Julian to get immobilized by Junkyard's rust. Julian then passes out due to the cold air S.A.D produces with Ezekiel rescuing him.

#### Pumped Up Kicks/Every Breath You Take

After coughing up Phlegm, Julian notices a strange room within the Cruise ship's cafeteria. Curious, Julian investigates the room and finds Sage Sun in a room with a Pool Table. Julian asks if the place is off limits with Sage Sun assuring Julian that the place is not off limits. Sage then challenges Julian to a game of Pool, Julian says they don't know how to play but Sage says offers to teach him. Julian reluctantly agrees to the game with Sage saying the game needs stakes, saying that the loser must eat a Carolina Reaper Chillie. The game commences with Sage having the advantage for most of the game. He uses his stand Every Breath You Take to mess with Julian's vision mid shot causing him to black out. This results in his aim being thrown off causing him to miss his shots. After Julian catches onto the fact Sage is cheating, Julian cheats by using Vibration to create an incline in the table which skews Sage's next shot causing him to sink the white que ball which results in Julian's victory.

Sage admits defeat and is about to eat the chillie when a window in the rooms entrance is destroyed with the bullet Stand Pumped Up Kicks breaking into the room and piercing Julian's Soldier. Sage attempts to defend himself with Every Breath You Take however Pumped Up Kicks maneuvers around Sage's Stand and pierces him in the torso. Julian who initially thought Sage was the one responsible expresses confusion before using Vibration Radar to detect Pumped Up Kicks. Julian tries to use Vibration in order to make a bullet proof vest from his clothing but Pumped Up Kicks uses it's stand ability and places a Jet Propeller on Julian's clothing causing him to slam into a near by trophy display cabinet in the room. Before Sage can figure out what is happening the Stand places another jet propeller on one of the billiard balls causing it to hit Sage in the face which resulted in a nose bleed. Pumped Up Kicks flees back to their user with Sage and Julian questioning why this is the case. Sage then asks Julian to close his eyes so he can use his Stand to manipulate the enemy stands perspective however Julian is hesitant at first. Eventually Julian is convinced to close his eyes which Sage takes advantage of. He has Every Breath You Take link Pumped Up Kick's eyes to Julian, since Julian's eyes are closed they become effectively blind allowing Sage to ambush and attack them with damage transferring to their user. Sage has his stand chase after and pursue Pumped Up Kicks but becomes injured in a direct confrontation with Hell Horse, Julian proceeds to catch Sage while he is falling.

Sage asks who might be attacking them and why, Julian tells them he thinks it's a member of the Speed Wagon Foundation as the Speed Wagon Foundation has been targeting him for a while now. He doesn't manage to convince Sage that it's the Speed Wagon however Sage reveals to Julian what Pumped Up Kick's Stand user looks like and where they are located. With that knowledge Julian runs out of the room and down a hallway now being pursued by Pumped Up Kicks. He bumps into a waitress who is passing by and causes her to drop the meal with the waitress now angry and and preventing Julian from leaving as Pumped up Kicks places Jet propellers on pins which essentially causes them to become sharp and fast moving projectiles. Julian accidently sneezes in the waitresses face before she is struck with the pins and falls over with Julian running away. Julian enters the ships kitchen and uses Vibration to weld the door shut to buy him some time. He is questioned by a chef who Julian pleas with to evacuate however isn't given enough time to reason with them before they are shot and killed by Pumped Up Kicks. Frustrated Julian grabs a pot and seals one of the colony stands members inside of it using Vibration making it impossible for them to escape from the pot. He then places it on the stove with the stand being cooked alive resulting in their users hand starting to burn up.

Eventually Julian makes it to Bow of the ship where Hell Horse is and identifies Hell Horse as the user pretty quickly due to the description Sage gave him earlier. He tries to sneak up on them however his illness causes him to go into a coughing fit which grabs Hell Horses attention. Desperate to try and put an end to hell Horse Julian charges forwards unaware that Hell Horse hid Pumped Up Kicks in a near by drain. The stand ambushes Julian and hits him in the torso twice which causes Julian to fall over. Hell Horse proceeds to taunt Julian and laugh at him before Julian Vibration Launches a fork at him. Prepared for this, Pumped Up kicks catches the fork and uses their jet propeller to launch the fork back at Julian which stabs into Julian's arm. Julian then channels Vibration into the fork causing it to split with a piece of shrapnel stabbing into Hell Horses sock puppet, Freaking out over the death of his fictional friend Nena the Sock Puppet, Hell Horse tells Julian he wants to torture them endlessly with Julian taunting Hell Horse in order to trick him into attacking. Hell Horse falls for Julian's tricks and shoots four bullets at Julian. A cone shaped apparition which seems to channel Vibration appears beside Julian as Julian channels Vibration into the ground. He creates a protective wall out of the floor which is elastic and stretchy, This results in Hell Horses bullets catapulting back at him which results in his death.
