Show Me Your Stand: Create the History of Amane Town Together! JoJo Project ★Call for Participants★
The world of
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that everyone has admired.
You must have thought about it at least once.
What if I had a Stand?
By the classroom window.
While swaying on the commuter train.
In the gaps of an ordinary day.
If my spirit took form, what kind of ability would it have?
You don't have to just read about it.
Then—it's time to create it.
Come on.
Show me your spirit.
＿＿Welcome to "The Bizarre Adventure of Amane Town"
■ About this project
This project is an unofficial fan creation project that respects the spirit of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".
We are looking for creative works featuring your own "Stand abilities."
Why not create a "town" like "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4" together on note? Write stories where each other's Stands appear. Draw illustrations. Create maps, logos, or sound effects—the format is up to you.
Let's gather the works you've created and build our very own "JoJo world"!
◆Project Phase 1 ★Call for Participants★
Amane Town, where JoJo fans gather
★【Please follow the steps below to register as a resident】
Create your own Stand
Write an article introducing your Stand and its episode
#BizarreResidentsOfAmaneTown and post it with the tag
The deadline for "Phase 1 Call for Participants" is March 1st to March 15th
*The resident Stand list will be created after the application deadline.
*You are not required to follow me to participate in this project.
1. Create your own Stand
What is a Stand?
This concept, which appears in the manga "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" by Hirohiko Araki, gets its name from the fact that it stands (Stand by me) beside its owner (the user).
A Stand is the physical manifestation of a person's personality, talent, complexes, or deepest desires.In this project, we define it as the "will (sound)" you want to resonate throughout the world.
[Reference Example]
[Stand Name]Eye in the Sky
[Ability]Visualizes objects and phenomena within range as "component elements"
[Catchphrase]Don't think you can convince me with incompetent words like "coincidence" or "fate." Redefine it.
[Appearance]*Having an illustration is a plus!
<About Creating a Stand>
I highly recommend the "How to Create a JoJo-style Character" guide using AI compiled by Naoyuki-san.
It's easy to make.
The steps are very clear, and
even someone like me born in the Showa era, who confuses the TV remote with a calculator, was able to make one.
It comes with JoJo-style illustrations, Stand techniques, and ability explanations!
💡 If you make your Stand too powerful or omnipotent in pursuit of perfection, it loses its charm. A Stand is the shape of your own spirit, and it is much more interesting if it has quirks, habits, and weaknesses.
Of course, you are welcome to create one from scratch yourself!
If you have already created a Stand in a past article, I apologize for the trouble, but please add the tag #BizarreResidentsOfAmaneTown to that past article.
2. Create an article introducing your Stand and its backstory
[Example]
Please write fully about the origins and appeal of your Stand.
It would be perfect if you have an episode to share!
Be sure to include the tag
#BizarreResidentsOfAmaneTown
in your post.
◆ Defensive Regulations (Must Read)
*These are the rules for keeping this project running for a long time.
①By participating, you are considered to have agreed to co-creation, meaning 'registered Stands are free to be used by others.' This is based on the premise that it is okay for others to draw illustrations of your Stand or have it appear in their stories.
(*However, depictions that significantly damage the image of other characters or malicious treatment are prohibited as acts that touch upon 'taboos'.)
> Believe in your own 'sound' and enjoy the 'gravity' of others.
② Prohibition of using official materials
Manga panels from 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,' anime screenshots, and official logos are prohibited. Only original expressions are allowed.
③ Prohibition of official character appearances
Do not include existing characters from 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' such as Jotaro Kujo or DIO. Please keep it to original stories.
④ Non-profit operation
Please keep articles free. If you make them paid articles, you cannot register or participate in this project.
⑤ Prohibition of excessive erotic or gore depictions
Please help us maintain a space that everyone can participate in.
⑥ Prohibition of slander against others
A Stand is the visualization of a soul. Titles, follower counts, real-world entanglements... When you pass through the gates of this town, all of those become meaningless noise. What exists here is only the naked spirit (Stand) and an equal relationship of mutual respect.
🎉 Now, create your Stand and come to Amane Town
What kind of ability will your spirit create? Whose story will yours intersect with?
Everything begins with your Stand.
'Leave your spirit in this town'
'"Resolve" is... not about a spirit of sacrifice!'
'"Resolve" is!! In the dark wilderness!! To carve out the path you must follow!'
'I'll do it even if I'm the only participant'
Are you ready? I know I am
◆ Project Part 2: #AmaneTownsBizarreLandmarks
Let's all build Amane Town, the 'town where JoJo-loving noters gather,' and create a map of Amane Town!
⇒ We are planning a contest for Amane Town's bizarre landmarks and episodes!
※You can participate in this project even if you haven't registered a Stand.
Period: March 1st to March 30th
Submissions: Any format is welcome. Please create a landmark for Amane Town.
Selection Criteria: Love for JoJo + the bizarre fun of the landmark.
Benefits:Excellent submissions will be registered on the MAP (multiple winners possible).
For all submitted works, I will write a review in my article using my Stand, 'Eye in the Sky'. (Please note that it may take some time to deliver the review as I will be analyzing the constituent elements.)
During the recruitment period, we encourage you to comment on other participants' articles and form duos or rivalries (lol). There are no bad people among JoJo-loving noters! Please enjoy this as a place for interaction as well.
Be sure to include the tag
#BizarreLandmarksOfAmaneTown
in your post.
★What is Amane Town?
From here on, my Stand 'Eye in the Sky' will introduce it.
Amane Town is located on a special geological layer where 'Star Fragments'once rained down.
This ground has the property of reflecting invisible 'sounds (mental waveforms)' into the sky in sync with the footsteps of those with strong mental power (Stands) who walk upon it!!
This town is quiet.
>>However, this town has bizarre landmarks.
That is proof that minds are definitely moving beneath the surface.
[Work Reference Example]
<An old clock tower in the center of town>
It is said to be the 'most accurate clock in the world,' built during the Meiji era. However, the clock hands are stuck at '11:23.' It didn't stop working; it never moved in the first place.
Why is it called the 'most accurate clock in the world,' you ask? Because while any clock can be off, this one manages to tell the correct time twice a day.
__There is a rumor that time is distorted at this clock tower.
<Is Amane Shrine famous for granting love?>
A shrine located right near the station. It seems to be blessed for granting love, and it is bustling with young couples. Apparently, at this shrine, 'true love' is put to the test. If my lover were a Stand user, I don't think I could bring myself to go.
<The Phantom D-Train>
A peaceful station in Amane Town.
It is said that on September 11th, at 2:00 AM on a full moon night, a train called the 'D-Train' arrives there. They say it grants wishes, but the truth is unknown. It seems to be a collective consciousness of Stand users who lived in Amane Town in the past... but for someone like me who strictly adheres to eight hours of sleep, it's impossible to verify.
Besides this, there is 'a girl who only steps on the white lines of the crosswalk. A traffic light that never turns green,' 'an old man who keeps sitting on the same bench but grows younger little by little,'
and 'a shop where the coffee break never ends.'
It's a town that never gets boring.
The surreal born from an everyday town.
A quiet adventure woven by souls.
'Just reading'... no more being such a boring observer.
Carve your soul (Stand) into this town. Is it a Golden Spirit, or a Jet-Black Will? It is our actions that will decide.
Come now. Let's begin 'Amane Town's Bizarre Adventure.'
