Joseph Joestar | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

[personal profile] hamonfisted 2017-11-15 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Kim
CHARACTER: Joseph Joestar
CANON: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

AU NAME: tentatively going with Joseph "Joey" Johnson
AU AGE: 17
AU OCCUPATION: High School Student, amateur youtuber, drama aficionado
BLURB:

✮ Born in the UK, raised in America since age 8
✮ Parents divorced, living with his mother
✮ Hobbies include vlogging on his youtube channel, critiquing movies, practicing for his inevitable acting career, and aspiring to be a pilot like his dad to spite his mother
✮ (He's terrible at all of the above)
✮ Comes across as a proper young man who cares about his future but in reality he's easily enabled to bad behavior for the thrill of being naughty
✮ Has a driver's license, even drives the legal speed limit. Rages at others when they go over
✮ There's a stray cat that lives in his neighborhood that he feeds sometimes, and he calls her Her Meowjesty. He's thinking about officially adopting her, eventually
✮ His mother is kind of harsh with him, but he mostly chooses to ignore her which makes it worse. They're well off enough from her divorce settlement that Joseph doesn't need to have a part time job... but she's been pushing him towards it more often since he's driving on his own
✮ Is that person you're either already friends with, only know of through various mostly untrue rumors, or have somehow never heard of in your life
✮ Has a collection of self-teaching acting lessons
✮ Also has a collection of comic books, video games, and Spy Movies, imagine that
✮ Will volunteer for community drama events whenever he can, though this makes the coordinators cringe and he usually ends up helping with heavy lifting of set props instead of actually acting

LOOKING FOR:

✮ Family members! I mean, cousins, uncles, what-have-you, all are great.
✮ Friends at school, online, or elsewhere.
✮ Enemies/rivals, because a personality like his is bound to tick somebody off.
✮ Loyal Youtube/vlog viewers, the few, the bold, the brave.
✮ Enablers that get him into trouble, can also be friends or rivals naturally.
✮ People In Authority Who Know Him By Name.
✮ Any other ideas are also welcome please and thank you!

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Naaahh

Oh, oh, oh. Let Jamie be a cousin of his, want to work on a backstory for their relationship? I'm also looking for relatives for this guy as well. If we agree on this, are you okay having Joey to be part Asian (Chinese and Filipino) from the mother side since Jamie's adopted by his family who're of Chinese & Filipino origins?

Although he won't watch his YouTube videos thanks to his job as a journalist and to keep his brain cells intact, and don't make him drive a car if Joey gets a fine or ticket either: Jamie's a nightmare if you hand him over the keys to any car in general!!!!

Hmmmm, I don't think that would quite work with my plans for him, sorry. :( If not family though, maybe we could concoct some cr out of Jamie being a journalist and Joey being a volunteer for performing arts events?

[personal profile] phoenixchild 2017-11-17 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh sure thing. If there's performing arts event plot or they happen to bump into each other, that'll be fine by me. Jamie covers social events and social issues within Recolle, so he should be have met Joey one way or the other.

"Local highschool volunteer wrecks theatre performance by dropping curtain on lead player's head, more news to come"

I don't wanna say he's accident prone per se, but I'm sure there'd be some noteworthy events therein

[personal profile] phoenixchild 2017-11-20 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, that would be pure golden material. Something like that could explain their relationship in a nutshell.

Maybe distant cousins? Cain's family came from Russia when he was four but maybe Cain has an aunt of uncle that came from the UK. Cain would have been 13-14 when Joseph came to America and he could have heard stories about cousin Cain being arrested and being a no-good juvie punk.

Or scraping that they could be enemies. Cain is easily ticked off.

I'd be down for distant cousins! Cain is either the no-good juvie punk cousin Joey secretly wants to be like, or the no-good juvie punk cousin he scoffs at for making some part of his family look bad??? It can honestly go to one extreme or the other.

[personal profile] khuy 2017-11-17 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
It could be both! Cain's trying to turn his life around now that he's an adult but he's not being very successful at it. If Cain was getting scoffed for making the family look bad, he would probably scoff at Joseph for being well off since Cain's had a rough life since coming to America. Sort of like you don't know what's really 'bad' kind of attitude.

[personal profile] hamonfisted 2017-11-20 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
why are all of Joseph's relationships like this

I would be excited to see them need to rely on each other somehow, and Cain could talk about his hardships from his side of the story in the future when Joseph would be more perceptive to listening.

Until then, all the dumb sniping at each other at family events, or elsewhere.

Abdul has some memories of old Joseph but they need to meet. Would Jojo ever want to meet up with a museum archivist willingly?
