[X] You have a feeling that Jotaro could help you awaken your powers. Just ask him how to get in a position where your Stand can awaken. He's been in the Stand business longer than you. Maybe he knows something.

Well that's a nice idea, though where would Maki gain a warrior's spirit for the ultimate ability? And what qualifies as one? Otherwise the skills and gear of Legionnaire, Samurai, Cowboy and a Gangster would be pretty broad. I'd suggest making the power stat into a variable one though, as it changes depending on if Maki's channeling her own spirits or others.
Also, communing with the dead? Kira's going to get caught so fast if he gets Shigechi. How would that go by the way? Would Maki get Harvest as a subStand similar to Sheer Heart Attack?
So it projects the memories of the user? Like if Maki sees a baseball fly through the field and if later she's fighting an enemy in the field, she can make the memory of flying baseball hit the enemy when they pass its trajectory? Thats pretty powerful when defending a familiar area, but almost useless when dropped into a new setting. Oh wait, it can project memories of others too. Logically, this means it also gives the user a simple form of psychometry too, to read the past of objects. And I'd bumb the precision rating for that, as that affects the accuracy of the Stand and being able to pick specific memories is pretty damn precise. Maybe add some sort of limitation on how far from past the memory can be found and taken?
That's pretty damn powerful. Also, props for the four leaf clover and the mundane utility of perfect recall.

Yeah as I've said before I'm not the best with these letter stats any help making a more balanced/better distribution would be appreciated. As for the communing with the dead thing it mostly so that any spirit we channel we'll have to commune with and persuade to lend us their power.
Also Shigechi would fall under the mystic warrior category which is completely locked out until we fulfill the requirement.

Ahhh, those are pretty valid points, Shape of Fire. I was looking at Sebazu's Stand and trying to think of something but my brain was drawing a blank on that so thanks for the assistance!
By the way, Sinsystems, what does the category system of spirits look like? It would be interesting to see a chart on that.
Although, we do need to keep up the mystery in the story so the question is now how would Sabaton work in regards to when Kira starts popping up?

The general rule for the spirits each ghost can channel is this
- Roman: Pre-Medieval Era
- Samurai: Medieval/Feudal Era
- Cowgirl: Industrial/Colonial Era
- Gangster: WW1 to modern day.

Well, since your Stand is a very changing one, most of the stats should probably be variable, with the older ones (Roman and Samurai) being stronger and tougher (power and durability) and the newer ones faster and more precise. And Learning is the troublesome stat. As I've understood it, it is about how evolved the ability is. I think Star Platinum's Learning dropped from A to C when Jotaro learned Time Stop and Tusk went from A to E at Act 4, so having rank A Learning means the user hasn't even realized their real ability yet.
Also, how does it affect animals? If its limited to warriors, do "war animals" count as spirits or warriors equipment? For example, could Maki channel a war dog for sense of smell? Jojo world being itself, there would probably be bizarre applications to this.
Sinsystems
Patron Librarian
I'll say that it does work for animals but only those who were particularly strong of spirit and more intelligent than most. Although when channeling those spirits I'm unsure as to how the ghosts will change, maybe they'll get animal suits or just ears and the like.

I changed Durabiliy and Precision so I think it's better now.
Some of the things I was thinking she could eventually do.
- Project Crazy Diamond or Star Platinum punching stuff.
- Project stairs to move anywhere.
- Since she mentions she's a delincuent she can remember people she's fought and make them appear.
- She could grant perfect recall to Joseph and project his AWESOME experiences.
It's not without weaknesses.
- The memories are fragile so anyone hiting them or throwing rocks at them can make them vanish.
- She can only project things in her or The Heart's field of view.
- The more different people or moment's memories she tries to project at the same time the harder and longer it takes her.
Shape of Fire

So wait, it can project the memories anywhere? Okay, that makes it a lot stronger than I thought. You're saying with it Maki could use anything she remembers as a weapon anywhere she is. She sees Sheer Heart Attack charge straight at something? She can summon it and blow it up near an enemy. High-five Jotaro and have the enemy suddenly be surrounded by a wall of flying knives. And that learning rank implies its true power isn't even in play yet. I'd say that needs nerfing, sorry.
For example, say she uses the moment Josuke punched through the hostage at the robber. The memory has to be projected at the distance Maki was from Josuke at the moment. But that doesn't take away the problem that she could go stand next to a busy highway and then forever have the ability to make cars going at 100km/h appear in front of her.

Precision - D
Potential - A
Description: The power to allow the user to remember all their past lives. Users have the power to remember some, or each and every one, of their past lives. The user can even remember every power from their past lives in order to use them.

Stand Ability: [Supernatural Agility]
Power - B
Speed - A
Range - E
Durability - E
Precision - C
Potential - A
Description: The ability to be more agile than what is naturally possible. Sub-power of Supernatural Condition. Advanced version of Enhanced Agility. User is glaringly, obviously and super/unnaturally more agile than normal because their capabilities are pushed beyond the natural level; making them immensely more agile and able to combine their of balance, bodily coordination, speed, reflexes, strength and endurance than normal members of their species.

Stand Ability: [Badassery]
Power - C
Speed - E
Range - C
Durability - D
Precision - C
Potential - B
Description: Power to possess the traits and qualities of a badass. Lesser version of Badassery Embodiment. User is Rule of Cool personified, being able to perform outright insane stunts that would be very difficult to pull off, or would get a normal person trying them killed several times over, while looking cool doing it. The longer the power is active, the stronger it's effects. But activation and recovery time follow a 1:2 ratio. The longest it can remain active is 24 hours.

Yeah, it would need a few limits to be feasable.
Like, maybe she can project all memories but they can only be solid if they are in contact with The Heart directly or if it like possess them.

One method I'd suggest for the memory thing is take advantage of the fact that no one's memory is perfect, we forget a tone of little details about things.

Yes, The Heart having limits would do the Stand quite good. Memory really cannot be perfect. Everyone forgets things sometimes so that could be a viable weakness as Sinsystems suggested.
I am fine with Maki and the Stand having power. Just don't do it to the point where it literally rules out anything in the series. Because that is when problems arise.
To Ridiculously Average Guy, your last Stand and it's ability doesn't make sense. Badassery is not only way too broad but I don't see how it would work in JoJo.
Sorry also if I have late responses. I am at work. So if my input is spotty, that is why.

Well, might as well put up my own Stand idea. Its based on Akiha Tohno's Caging Hair ability from Tsukihime.
Stand name: Blood on the Tracks
Destructive Power: D-A
Speed: C-A
Range: C-A
Durability: B
Precision: C-A
Learning: D
Description: When in use, Blood on the Tracks turns the users hair red and allows its rapid growth and manipulation. The hair can also be spooled into a humanoid figure similar to Stone Free.
Powers: Blood on the Tracks's main ability is to "plunder" energy from others using the user's hair as a medium. The power drain is rabid enough to cause 2nd degree burns on the victims. The plundered energy can then be used to permanently fortify the Stand's base parameters. The Stand cannot exert much physical power until rank A Destructive Power as before that it mainly affects the speed and power of plundering (inflicting more serious burns at higher levels). The Stand's high durability comes from the fact that damaging the hair doesn't damage the user, though it takes a while to regrow it. As the ability's range grows, the user can spread her hair into a larger area, even where she cannot see, and the hair will continue to plunder any who touch it automatically, though with better Precision the user is aware of the hair and can turn the ability off to allow allies to traverse the area.
-Blood on the Tracks: Tangled up in Blue: The secondary ability of the stand. The user reverses the plundering, gifting the gathered stand energy to another in order to heal their wounds. However, the ability is very energy intensive and using it halves the Tracks's upgradeable parameters or until they are back to their base value.

Yukako already has a hair control Stand, this seems like her ability plus like 2 more.

I have returned from the eternal paradox known as work. And yes, in regards to hair control Stands, Yukako is already there, so yeah, Shape of Fire, that stand does no good. It would override Yukako's character and possibly her arc as well.
Also, can somebody do a vote tally so far so we can see where we are at, please?

Yes its basically hers plus upgrade (Plundering and its reverse, thought the latter could be left as a later upgrade). The difference is that Blood on the Tracks lacks the physical power Love Deluxe has. Yukako was strong enough to rearrange furniture for example. In parameters, Yukako's is stronger, faster and more durable, at least before upgrades.
//edit: I'll bow to the QM's word. I do still have a few homebrew stands after all. This one was made with the Jojo CYOA I never got around to writing.
Stand Name: Fad Gadget
Destructive power: B
Speed: A
Range: C
Durability: D
Precision: A
Learning: C
Description: Fad Gadget takes the shape of a humanoid robot, wearing a trench coat with voluminous sleeves. Its power is property linking, and it allows it to link the properties of two objects it has touched. In effect, this means he can create a bond between objects, allowing them to share characteristics like hardness, weight, texture, malleability. Besides that, as the objects are linked, destruction of one means the destruction of the other. Examples of use would be giving bullets shot at the user the properties of cotton from the users clothes. Or giving a brick wall the toughness of a piece of paper so you can get rip your way through.

Thank you! I appreciate it that very much. Fad Gadget does sound quite interesting, too.
At one point, we're definitely going to have a vote-off of Stands not too far away, just perhaps after this story post or the next. That way so we can have a consistent vote to see which Stand wins. So develop the Stands for this particular vote. I'll work out the details when it comes to voting for the Stands, maybe I might ask help from others for advice in this regard. That way that the Stand vote-off is fair.

When the vote off happens I'd just like to make a request, first is that the vote be over a couple days due to how crucial it is and second that we use a ranked vote (Basically voters rank what they want in order from most preferred to least) so that whatever the end result is the most people will be happy.
Here is a video giving a quick explanation as to how it works
The main reason I want to do this way is because Stand selection is a very crucial vote and can cause people to drop quests on the spot so I'd prefer it if as many people as possible are happy with the result.

Ok, so balanced the skills. I think it's no longer hax.
Name: The Heart Never Forgets
Song: The Heart Never Forgets
Type: Spirit
Statistics
Destructive Power: C
Speed: - B
Range: - B
Durability: - C
Precision: - A
Learning: - A
Appearance: A humanoid stand, it's body is colored grey and black with golden in his articulations, it's right eye is a camera lens while his shoulders look like a microphone and a projector respectibly.
It has a 4 leafed clover on it's chest.
Abilities: The Heart can project the memories of the user or of anyone The Heart is in contact as tridimensional images and sound, the projections can only move exactly as they did in the memory. The range is 10 meters.
The user of The Heart can't see someone else's memories, if the instructions to The Heart about which memory it should play are too vague it may lead to a random memory being played.
The Heart can enter one of this "Memories" at the time and make them solid.
The Heart can only project image and sounds of things experienced by the target, it cannot project objects that were outside the person's view.
The user can choose wherever the projections can be seen by anyone or just stand users but they can never be made invisible.
The Heart gives the user and anyone it's in contact perfect recall, but for people beside the user it only lasts while it's in contact with them.
I also want Maki to use the mundane utility to be able to ace her school work with her perfect recall and to be able to replay any song she's played before whenever she wants.
Another thing I was hoping for was using this power to be able to see Joseph's awesome memories of his past fights.
Also, I was hoping that getting Joseph to eat at Trattoria Trussardi + giving him temporary perfect recall + Joseph using his somewhat improved health and memories to start using the Ripple again might lead to him teaching Maki how to use it .
