I've been trying to think of people Jotaro would like as an equal...and I'm kinda coming up blank. R+V is surprisingly lacking in Shounen characters, at least early on.
And while there's lots of fighting later in the Manga nobody particularly pops up as sufficiently hot blooded and clever.

I did some research, the only person who is not a lot older than Jotaro that I could find was Ling Ling Huang, but she is technically dead, so...

Haiji and Ginei may fit... though they have, ugh, peculiar behaviour patterns.
 
Obviously they were brought there by an enemy stand :p
The whole thing was probably going to be THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND USER anyway, but at the time I conceived the fic (which was before I had even started part 4), the idea of a Stand dragging people from other universes broke my disbelief.

And then Made In Heaven happened.

EDIT: and then Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap also happened.

Also, Johnny and Jo2uke aren't descended from Jonathan, so that "I am so proud of all my descendants" moment would be really, really awkward.

Do you see my problem!? Like I say, Inner Moka seems to be the closest thing to a proto Jojo companion and even then she needs some work, like trousers. You can't pose well in a skirt, unless you're a Pillar Man of course.

Yeah...they cover the hotblooded part but...yeah, their...quirks would certainly counter any progress made. Unless they prove to be total bros later on.
 
[x]You're done here. Quickly give your name, and then get to class already. If these two want to keep nattering by themselves, let them. (skip to homeroom)
 
Oh, about talking OOC.

Well, you've pretty much missed the flags needed to play Jotaro as a total asshat or blood knight, although some of that will still show up regardless. You've pretty much locked yourself into a "Good" alignment, although whether you go "Neutral" or "Chaotic" is still up for grabs.

.... yeah, I don't see any JoJo other than Jonathan as being Lawful Good.

If you close one eye and squint reeeeeeeally hard then Giogio might fall under that alignment as well
 
You seem to be doing fine so far, Eva. I'm wondering just what sort of shenanigans Jotaro will have to face on his stay at the academy.

Jotaro's the obvious choice for a quest among all the Jojos, I think. He's strong both physically and mentally, socially maladjusted and comedically serious; despite appearing to be simple, he has a lot of things going for him. He's the sort of guy that can work in many situations.

Man, I can just imagine that even in the Academy, few people will try to mess with him once he inevitably develops Star Platinum. His general 'thinks everyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him and doesn't bother to emote because of it' deal is probably going to come up several times here.

This is correct

The problem is that a lot of the time when people write him, they basically confuse his character for an Itachi-less Sasuke. Or something else that's similar.

I don't know about "several", but I'll try to do it justice. Although, like everything else about Jotaro, I really don't know if I can pull it off.

How bizarre. I thought people would be writing him as an Uchiha-less Itachi. Or a quiet-guy Kenpachi Zaraki. Or benevolent Hao Asakura. Or, hell, a straight-up Kenshiro knockoff. But any variant of SASUKE of all people? Yare yare daze. Well, let me tell you one thing. Of all the problems you could conceivably need to worry about here, me writing Jotaro like Sasuke is not one of them.

One of these characters is one I can get in the head of and comprehend, and the other one... is our protagonist. :(

Working on the update, it'll prolly go up tomorrow. Also, I got All-Star Battle tonight! Can't play it 'til the morning of the 25th because I got it as a Christmas present (to myself.... what? I can't ask anyone else in my family for things like this, at risk of mockery and ridicule), but still! I never imagined I could get a physical copy without going through five kinds of PITA first!
