## **Brief Bio:**

Name : Rum Jam (reference to 'Ram Jam' the band that did 'Black Betty' - which, depending on which version of the song you're listening to, it is either about a certain lady or a certain car - the latter being rather fitting for this rp, lol)

Species : Human

Age : 19

Pronouns : He, Him.

Sexuality : Bisexual

Bio : (AU Hot Pants? I think not.... lol) A very popular Influencer; his social media feed usually displays a lot of fashion photography (as he's a pro model) as well as motorcycle stunts. His fashion-modelling consists of mostly men's business-wear, and he refuses to model anything revealing (e.g. underwear, swimsuits). He was raised as a single child in a rich Corpo family, but he refuses to take over the family business. The business in question, is Jam & Co. - they specialize in motorcycles; specifically a very practical perpetual-motion engine invented by Rum's grandfather.

As tensions rise within the Jam family (including a recent buy-out offer from the Yami Corp), Rum rebels and heads to a shifty-looking tattoo parlor with some of his friends. He decides to get a tattoo of a 7-headed snake; the same logo he spray-painted on his best motorbike (7-Snakes). As they leave the parlor, they are called over to a nearby shop by a suspicious looking stranger.

The friends chicken-out and leave, while Rum stays behind and follows the shop-owner inside. The owner reveals himself to be a Stand Dealer, and offers to give Rum a shot (having recognizing him as the child of a rich CEO as well as a well-known fashion model/Influencer). Rum pays up, and receives the shot. Days later, Rum feels no difference, no stand has manifested yet. After a fight with his parents, Rum runs off to join the Motorsport Race against their will.

Personality : Very hot-headed and temperamental; doesn't think before he talks, so often lets on that he's dumber than he looks because of terrible come-backs.

Stand name : Glass Animals

Stand type : Long-range, Artificial Humanoid.

Namesake : Band by the same name.

Localized name : Transparent Creatures.

Stand cry : Gushaa! (japanese sfx for 'smashing glass')

Stand Personality : Seems to act shy; will often be seen hiding behind the user - clutching the user's shoulders. Doesn't talk other than it's stand cry.

Destructive Power: C (same as user's physical strength)

Speed: B (slightly higher than user's physical speed; making for more instinctive attacks/defensive moves)

Range: A (can telekinetically move glass within eyesight - otherwise, the transformation abilities are B; a meter or so longer than the user's physical reach)

Persistence: A (but will falter as the user tires).

Precision: C (same as user's)

Developmental Potential: A (user just manifested stand, and has yet to master its potential)

Aura color : Green.

Stand abilities (Weaknesses needed) : Turns whatever it touches to glass. Non-living, inorganic objects will be turned to glass instantaneously. Living, organic beings will be turned to glass from the bottom (usually the feet) up; at a rate of one foot per second. So, if Glass Animals' hold is broken during the process, it is possible that they could escape only partially turned to glass - though the glass portions will remain in their new state unless the stand/stand user is defeated. The glass is just regular glass, and can be shattered by regular means.

Non-living, inorganic targets turned into glass, as well as any pre-existing glass (includes sand, and molten glass) can be controlled in a telekinetic sort of fashion by Glass Animals. Any living, organic targets, upon full transformation into glass will retain normal bodily functions (the glass will move as it moved when in flesh form) and consciousness. Yet, if the head is destroyed/removed from the rest of the body, the target will die; rendering the glass, 'regular glass'. So, if a target is fully turned to glass, their best hope is to keep themselves from being shattered, and take out the stand/stand user.

The stand user can be defeated by the usual human means (though beware; bullet-proof glass/laminated glass are a thing); death, unconsciousness, severe injury. Other than the transformation ability, the extent of the stand's damage abilities rely on the strength/supply of glass around it. Extra abilities may include; stand user turning themselves to glass (e.g. to turn 'mostly invisible' - ESPECIALLY effective in water, to painlessly break off a poisoned/otherwise infected body part) - though , naturally, this can backfire rather quickly if an enemy takes the chance to break the stand user's glass body. Organic matter turned into glass feels no pain.

Image : TBD (I might draw it later - it looks like a feminine humanoid made of glass, completely transparent except for a red anatomically correct heart and green gem-like eyes. Though appearing to be made of glass itself, Glass Animals does not shatter - that is, until the stand/user is defeated... upon which the stand will appear to spontaneously shatter before vanishing)

Motorcycle name : 7-Snakes

Motorcycle Model : Futuristic

Motorcycle Bio : Built by Jam & Co., and is Rum's favourite motorbike.

Motorcycle abilities : Pretty much your typical run-of-the-mill-rich-boy-futuristic-bike. Built to survive heavy impact/crashes, and runs on an eco-friendly perpetual-motion engine.

Motorcycle image : (see attached image - courtesy of google images - but with a green 7-headed snake logo on the side, and green rims)

## The Myth Orange Phantom; Part 1 (RP by @Ittheweekend)

Episode 3 -

Rum heads to the 2nd Motorsport Race. He takes a selfie with some of his fans in a small diner.

Episode 5 -

Rum receives the news that the 2nd Motorsport Race has been postponed. He decides to head to downtown Cybercity for something to do in the meantime. As he heads into the city, he notices the sky has turned red....

Once downtown, he realizes the mistake he made in coming here... the area is flooded by monsters falling from the sky. He joins a few in battling the monsters, and succeeds in turning one to glass before using said glass as weapons against the other monsters. The monsters retreat, and all looks well until some turn back and target Rum directly.

Rum's stand turns a nearby wall into glass, shatters it, then telekinetically uses it as a shield as the surroundings begin to explode from some unknown force (Bites The Dust). The last thing Rum hears before all goes black, is the sound of shattering glass (manga sfx; 'gushaa').

Episode 6 - 7

Rum exits the small diner a few minutes after taking a selfie with some eager fans, and paying for his meal. He rides 7-Snakes towards where the Race is scheduled to start.

Rum waits at the starting line; he thinks back to an argument he had with his parents before he left to compete in the Race. That was the same night his stand manifested for the 1st time. The Race starts, and 7-Snakes weaves through the racers, into a dark tunnel ahead...

One of the other racers, Jozi, opens a warp gate leading to a spot on the track closer to the finish line. Rum sees this, and attempts to follow. Jozi takes a swing at Rum, and the latter swerves out of the way. Rum misses the warp, and falls behind quite a bit. He struggles to pull ahead of the other racers again, and manages to speed through a second warp gate, directly after Jozi. He finishes in 3rd place.

Jozi threatens Rum, Rum tells him off. Some girls ask for Rum's autograph, but before he can pull out his pen, their attention is stolen by rival Influencer, Enchanto. Rum ignores this, and leaves on 7-Snakes shortly afterwards.

## 20 Year Timeskip:

\*\*\*Bio Changes\*\*\*

Rum went back home to reconcile with his parents.

He goes to college, graduates, and gets a job working for his father's company. At the age of 24, he's the center of media attention when some jealous fans point out how curvy he looks in thinner clothing. When he's 32 years old, his father dies of a heart attack and Rum takes over as CEO of Jam & Co. He keeps up his appearances as an Influencer, but no longer does public motorcycle stunts (not to say he doesn't keep racing in his free time). He takes on numerous suitors over the years - both male and female - but most result in just short flings... possibly just to keep the media's attention.

It's now the year 2070; Rum is 39 years old, single, and richer than his parents ever were (his mother is still alive, but in a retirement home with a bad case of pneumonia). Hearing of Moongaze's offer, Rum decides he'll take up racing once more...

\*Glass Animals' stats/abilities are the same as Rum has had little to no use for it over the years.... it could be said that his skills are a little rusty.

\*Motorcycle is sill the same ol' 7-Snakes (kept in one of Rum's garages except for special occasions).

## Reboot BIO: (JJBA: Literal Legend RP @Ittheweekend)

\*everything with this AU version is the same, except the background story (\*basically this AU version nulls all the Motorsport parts of the bio):

Bio : (AU Hot Pants? I think not.... lol) A very popular Influencer; his social media feed usually displays a lot of fashion photography (as he's a pro model) as well as motorcycle stunts. His fashion-modelling consists of mostly men's business-wear, and he refuses to model anything revealing (e.g. underwear, swimsuits). He was raised as a single child in a rich Corpo family, but he refuses to take over the family business. The business in question, is Jam & Co. - they specialize in motorcycles; specifically a very practical perpetual-motion engine invented by Rum's grandfather.

As tensions rise within the Jam family (including a recent buy-out offer from the Yami Corp), Rum rebels and heads to a shifty-looking tattoo parlor with some of his friends. He decides to get a tattoo of a 7-headed snake; the same logo he spray-painted on his best motorbike (7-Snakes). As they leave the parlor, they are called over to a nearby shop by a suspicious looking stranger.

The friends chicken-out and leave, while Rum stays behind and follows the shop-owner inside. The owner reveals himself to be a Stand Dealer, and offers to give Rum a shot (having recognizing him as the child of a rich CEO as well as a well-known fashion model/Influencer). Rum pays up, and receives the shot. Days later, Rum feels no difference, no stand has manifested yet. After a fight with his parents, Rum runs off to join in on international street races.

Six years later, Rum went back home to reconcile with his parents.

He goes to college, graduates, and gets a job working for his father's company. At 21 years of age, he gives birth to his illegitimate daughter, and passes her up for adoption. At the age of 24, he's the center of media attention when some jealous fans point out how curvy he looks in thinner clothing. When he's 32 years old, his father dies of a heart attack and Rum takes over as CEO of Jam & Co. He keeps up his appearances as an Influencer, but no longer does public motorcycle stunts (not to say he doesn't keep racing in his free time). He takes on numerous suitors over the years - both male and female - but most result in just short flings... possibly just to keep the media's attention. At age 37, he is forced to take in his daughter, and raise her. He attempts to teach her in the ways of the old family business.

In present day, Rum is 39 years old, single, and richer than his parents ever were (his mother is still alive, but in a retirement home with a bad case of pneumonia). Hearing of Moongaze's offer, Rum decides he'll take up racing once more...

\*Glass Animals' stats/abilities are the same as Rum has had little to no use for it over the years.... it could be said that his skills are a little rusty.

\*Motorcycle is sill the same ol' 7-Snakes (kept in one of Rum's garages except for special occasions).
