Character Name: Jotaro Kujo
Character Series: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
Character Age: 40
Background: Wiki article


Personality: Jotaro is, outwardly, a man of stone. He rarely ever expresses much emotion beyond small shifts from neutral and he speaks very little unless it's necessary. In this sense he is very much considered a stoic man whom one would need to know well to even tell what he's thinking half the time. Of course he has his reasons for this.

Jotaro has, since his delinquent youth, maintained that people are always trying to read him anyways. So he got into the habit of secluding his emotions behind an iron mask of toughness. However, beneath it all is a caring man who loves his mother, his daughter, and holds a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for his friends and allies. Unfortunately, he REALLY fails at letting this inner self shine through.

Jotaro is also extremely intelligent. A quiet and unexpected genius, Jotaro has a quick thinking and complex mind that is able to process information swiftly and efficiently. With this talent, it can be said that he's always thinking. Most of his time spent being silent is also time spent in thought. Of course expressing these thoughts is a bit of an issue. He inherited his grandfather's bad habit of not informing anyone else of his plans before he enacts them. Of course he's hardly an "act first, question later" sort. He just might answer the questions for himself first.

Jotaro has some polarization to him with his usual fierceness and his uncommon gentleness. In the presence of those he loves, he can be soft and protective. However, this often is misdirected, or at least makes it very difficult for anyone else to understand just what the hell he's thinking when he does what he does. All in all a deceptively complex man.

Abilities: Jotaro, like many in his series, possesses a psychic/spiritual avatar called a "Stand". Jotaro's Stand is called "Star Platinum", so named after the tarot card that symbolizes hope and optimism. While this doesn't quite describe Jotaro himself, it does describe his role in the events of the series.

Star Platinum has numerous abilities. First and foremost is its tremendous physical prowess. Star Platinum is both incredibly strong/sturdy and fast/dexterous. He is capable of moving at extraordinary speeds and his strength is enough to lift great stone towers with little effort. His trademark use of this is his signature Blazing Fists, punctuated by the battle cry of "ORA ORA ORA".

Star Platinum also has extremely heightened senses, particularly sight. He can magnify his vision for miles, and is able to hear things otherwise silent to human ears. This also allows him to pinpoint just where to land a blow so that it is most effective.

Finally, and the ability enhanced by his fusion with The World, Star Platinum has an innate ability to stop time (an ability shared by Dio Brando's The World). While unable to stop time for the same length Dio is able to, given he has limitations as a human being, Star Platinum IS able to stop time for a full five seconds. And thanks to its fusion with The World, it's a perfect time stop that is unable to be detected by normal human senses.
