The year is 1988. You were the boss of the largest mafia group in Italy, before almost dying by the hands of the traitors. Luckily you had a trick up your sleeve, An unknown arrow that holds unimaginable powers. You've created this arrow from the remnants of the unknown asteroid that hit the earth 200 years ago. This arrow has the ability to give anyone who has been struck by it, A Stand. Stand is the manifestation of your soul. Some people are born with stands, Others got it by getting struck by this arrow. This arrow is the only one that is left in this world, for when you use it, it will decide whether you are worthy of its powers or not. If you are not, then you'll die. If you are however, then you'll gain a stand. However... If you were born with a stand, getting struck by this arrow could give you unimaginable powers, that is... If you are worthy. But there is a penalty, the penalty differs from person to person, and you'll never know yours unless you've been struck by it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I do not own Jojo's bizarre adventure neither do I own RWBY.
