Any chance I could convince people to go for versatile brawler?

It's implied to be more than a pure weapon (unlike fearsome killer), and it's not overdone the way growing powers (true terror) are.
 
Forgive my flip-flopping, but I've decided that a more fitting statline for the "versatile brawler" Stand is:

Power: B
Speed: A
Range: D
Durability: B
Precision: A
Developmental Potential: C

I doubt this small change will affect the votes, but I felt you guys should know.

Hmm... I was wondering if we can change the theme naming from bands and music to Movies and Series, like how Part 5 tried for a while to name things after itallian fashion designers or something.

That be cool, we could meet a constantly arguing pair one with a Alien stand and the other with a Predator one. Or a guy who becomes invulnerable when wet with a stand called Friday the 13th. Jurassic Park could be a stand that brings things to life. A guy you'd alway have to tell the truth to or force you to explaib your plan can becalled James bond. Terminator could be a stand that controls all machines or just electronics. BeetleJuice could be a Terror or teleportation Stand. The Grudge can be a invisible or just bad luck Stand. Movies could be a great theme.

The name sounds cool but I want to hear the song first.

Wait are you naming our stand or a stand?

If it makes you feel any better, growing powers is a bit of an understatement, what we're gonna have is levels of power, every so often, in certain situations, our stand is gonna suddenly upgrade, giving us a major boost and some new aspect of our power, I'm reasonably sure that growing powers (As in slowly but surely powers up infinitely) is something that no stand actually has apart from something like Notorious B.I.G.
I understand your problems, certainly, and I get your problem with a glut of Underdog to Topdog stuff, but I just like the idea of being Alt-Koichi, Badass-In-Training, rather than Alt-Jotaro, Badass-From-Birth.
What about Tear's don't fall?

Update #1: The Fall
  • Threadmarks
    • The world is in a sorry state. The number of people who were alive when the world crashed and burned is dwindling more every day. Pieces of the glorious, advanced past remain, bubbles of wealthy, advanced civilization. The quality of life varies enormously depending on where you are, as does the kind of technology available.

    In some places, where civilized folk don't dare to travel, bandits and barbarians using cobbled-together remnants of the past extort and exploit the weak, occasionally coming together to raid towns and cities.

    In poorer regions, advanced technology runs an extraordinary price, as people compete for food and comfort. Survival is possible for most in such places, but it's a hard life of labor and poverty.

    The rich huddle together in huge bunker towns or enviro-domes, simulating the lives they would live in the past with moderate success. They live very long, healthy lives, some of them well into their second century.

    Towns and villages form into cities, which form into independent governments. Clinging to the memories of sophisticated society, mankind is clawing its way back to prosperity, inch by filthy, bloody inch, and as this happens, they may soon remember war; not petty skirmishes or raids, but true war, fearsome and terrible.

    The reasons why the world fell into darkness are closely guarded secrets. There are countless rumors and myths. You certainly don't know why. You are our illustrious protagonist, bound for adventure, but before that, who were you?

    • [x] Your name is Alejo "Alex" Jose Rider. You grew up on a relatively peaceful farm in the middle of nowhere. At the tender age of 6, your father dissapeared, and you became the man of the house, helping your mom raise your younger brother and sister. Now, at the age of 18 years, you leave your home, searching for your father... and the source of a mysterious power you possess.

    This good?

    That works fine.

    I suppose I should explain further. You guys have the weekend to put together and vote on a backstory for your main character. I need to approve of it in order for you guys to vote on it. This is a little odd, I suppose, but I think it could be interesting.

    Also, to clarify something that might be unclear about the Stand you guys have voted on; it has a lot of potential, but it's not an Act Stand. If it was, the initial stats would be a lot lower.
