Okay! Allow me to explain to you what stands are, their rules, and everything else.
What is a stand?
A stand is a unique power that lets the users manifest a guardian of sorts, the stand, that defends and acts on the behalf of it's user. vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/d/da/Osir... They are defined as personifications of "life energy" whose abilities are given visual form.
A Stand can also represent the manifestation of an individual's innate "fighting spirit" and represents, to an extent, the individual's psyche.
No two stands are alike. They may have similar abilities, but their appearance might be different . So may be their stats along with how exactly the stand functions.
The Parameter is what is used to measure a Stand's Ability. It's organized as such:
Destructive Power:
Measures the Stand's strength and ability to cause destruction (physical injury or collateral environmental damage) in a given period of time. Not only limited to brute force, but also to its abilities combined.
Speed:
Measures the Stand's agility and reflexes as well as performance speed.
Range
Measures a compromise of the Stand's range of manifestation, range of ability influence, and spatial mobility.
Durability/Staying:
Measures the Stand's endurance and level of susceptibility to damage and attacks. This category may also gauge the effectiveness of their power's ability of binding toward physical objects.
Precision:
Measures the Stand's accuracy and range of influence/effect of their abilities to specified targets.
Development Potential/Learning :
Measures the Stand's possible functions, utilization of its abilities and powers, and capacity to improve its overall capabilities.
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/7/73/Echo... Each statistic is ranked from A to E; though rankings of None and Infinite are also possible. Rankings are defined as follows:
A: Excellent
B: Good
C: Same level as a normal human
D: Weak
E: Very Weak
How can someone become a stand user
In most cases, Stand Users are either born with their Stands or with the potential to unlock one later in life. Without this potential, a person can not achieve a Stand through natural means. For those born with it, the trigger for unlocking one's Stand varies with the user, but is, as mentioned, usually derived through intense mental strength. As such, Stands abilities are typically unleashed during times of stress or conviction.
However, there is another way. 50,000 years ago, a strange meteorite landed on earth. In it, a strange virus was discovered; one that doctors can't wrap their heads around today. Centuries before the discovery of the virus, a man who wished to have the power of god, fashioned six arrows out of the meteor. The arrows allowed the wielder to unlock Stand abilities in those who had the potential to awaken one, essentially acting as the aforementioned trigger.
Rules
I'll...put this in another forum.
Types of stands
There are technically five categories, But I'll be allowing players to use 4, and I'll explain them here.

Types of stands
There are technically five categories, But I'll be allowing players to use 4, and I'll explain them here.Natural Humanoid: have physical characteristics similar to human beings, most often their users. Obvious identifiable features include arms and legs, but the category distinctly specifies appendages that are reminiscent of the human muscular system as well as having working eyes and mouth.

vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/d/d8/The_...
vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/e/e4/Magi...
Artificial Humanoid: will often feature artificial or mechanical nuances that separate them from natural humanoids. This includes having completely non-humanoid facial features and mechanical joints. Appearances that resemble robots, cyborgs or androids are applicable here.

vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/3/3a/Blac... vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/4/46/The_...
Natural Non-Humanoid: while not human-like, are reminiscent of other lifeforms or objects in nature. This includes basic organisms such as animals and plants, but also more unorthodox concepts such as fog. Stands that may be described as "monsters-like" are often applicable here.

Artificial Non-Humanoid:
Stands comparable to instruments or mechanical objects are placed in this category. This includes vehicles, weapons, and machines.
