Hey it's that guy from that one meme

[itsasteamroller]

Anyways.

This is Dio Brando, or DIO. Some of you may recognize him from that one internet meme that's been around since time began that came from this fighting game.

"Legendary Za Warudo Road Roller combo" (Watch on YouTube)

DIO is from the long-running hit manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which tells the story of his long-running feud with the Joestar bloodline. Out of all the antagonists in parts one through six, DIO casts the longest shadow even with his death in part three, as his influence can still be felt years later and he has a crazy amount of followers looking to avenge his death, one of whom is a close personal friend who enacts DIO's plan to create a new stand and reset the universe.

"Nobody can be that bad," you're thinking to yourself. You are wrong. You are incorrect. You will start up the first episode of Phantom Blood wanting proof of my claims, and by the end you will want to kick DIO in the teeth. And he gets worse.

Also he's a vampire who decided that just being a vampire wasn't powerful enough, and so he also got a Stand (or Psychic Punch Ghost). The real him is also just his head, as he has attached himself to the body of Jonathan Joestar, his dead adoptive brother. Long story.

Anyway, I'm Andy and I'm new but I think I know a few people here and I decided to stop by! I'm at BaDandy if you want to add me. Cool to be here!

I... look forward to Marie utterly hating his guts, and I mean that with total sincerity.

[itsasteamroller]

well he's pretended to be totally nice for 7 years, maybe he will here!

(he probably won't)

this is cool tho, i haven't seen a lot of people play from System Shock and her backstory seems really cool :o

[prosopopoeia]

In his... defense??? (Because of course he will be charming!) Marie doesn't actually like anyone.

And no... no one plays from SS, I've seen like two SHODANs and none of the rest of the cast ever. I'd sacrifice a baby.

""""defense"""

that's too bad, i know next to nothing about the story but it was one of those games i was looking into but then couldn't get it for whatever reason

[jinxings]

YES JOJO'S PEOPLE. i'm so stoked since i've already been a fan of this series for a few years now.. dio is the most amazing shitlord there has ever been in all of the history of anime and manga, tbh. can't wait to see him around!

also since i almost forgot-- i'm jelle, nice to meet you! c: i play this guy here, haku mitsumi from a pretty obscure jdrama/stage play series.

[itsasteamroller]

dio throwing a fit about his powers being gone is 50% of the reason i apped

i'm just....i'm just gonna add you on plurk real quick......yes. there we go.

[jinxings]

yeah what is he going to do without his road roller tbh (and yes, good!! i added you back now, sorry for the delay!)

Oh man, Jojo's characters.

A friend of mine got me into the series recently and I've been enjoying going into this thing utterly blind.

I have no idea how Greed will react to Dio but I am looking forward to it because it's going to be a complete and utter mess.

Of course the only thing missing from Snowhell was some Jojo's... I can't wait to see him test the patience of even Alphonse.
