Name: Josip Josipowicz "JoJo" Starski
Race: Russian of Jewish ethnicity
Age: 33
Height: 195 cm
Weight: 86 kg
Eyes: Green
Hair: Black
Appearance: Tall and muscular man in his early 30s with manly beard.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Charisma: D
Strength: D
Agility: B
Speed: A
Magic Resistance: D
Magic Ability: Josip's Hamon enables him to release prana in matter akin to Prana Burst. He can use 'Reinforcement' to an extent, but its not proper magecraft, but rather natural
byproduct of his breathing.
His primary ability though is his Stand "Back In USSR", which ability is based on the concept of 'Russian Reversal'. The Stand can reverse characteristics of physical objects
(make incoming bullets fly in opposite direction or reverse electrical polarity), or even concepts, as long as they have their polar opposite and Josip can comprehend them. The
drawback is that the change must be possible to reverse once more (for example, he cannot cause directly the death of somebody) and the change is temporal unless the target wills it to be permament. He also cannot use the Stand on himself.
Aside from its ability, the Stand is particularly fast and precise, on par with Stands like Killer Queen and nearly as fast as Star Platinium, though it does not pack much of punch compared to these two.
Other Abilities: Josip has rather extensive scientific knowledge, something useful when exploiting the powers of his Stand. In fact, he managed to put together a device that allowed him to cross dimensions and end up in Nexus City, ... but it broke after the first successful use, and repairing it is troublesome.
Origin: Reversal
Weakness: Disrupting Josip's breathing hampers both his Hamon ability and the Stand. In water he can only use it as long as he can hold his breath (up to human's highest possible capacity)
Likes: Posing, outsmarting and embarassing his opponents (as expected from AU!Joseph/Josuke in one)
Dislikes: Vampires (biased given his experience with Stone Mask vampires), people who make fun of Russian Science and any of his particularly spectacular scientific failures.
