New Carthage, Michigan was supposed to be a home for the happy, a utopia.

Crime Rates have soared since it's humble beginnings, and a once proud city now stands desolate, with its activity ranging from hurried trips to stores or work, or gang wars. The only thing the average citizen has going for a life in this nightmare is the low rent, and high demand for capable workers in its stores.

Police forces stand just as corrupt as the gangs that roam the streets, ranging from the growing groups with no names to the dreaded Army Of The Night, who holds the city in it's dark grip.

Yet, the city's dark skies and high death counts don't deter the foolish, especially recent-graduate Y/n L/n, after being kicked out of home by his father.

Your story begins in a rainy night, with you pulling your beat up old car into an apartment complex, and exploring the safer side of the city. Chance brings you to an antique store, run by a kind old man. Kind enough, in fact, to sell, at a discount, that peculiar golden arrow that caught your eye.

A Bizarre Tale is (meant to be) a growing series in which the main Character goes on adventures reminiscent of those portrayed in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," written by Araki. This is not a mockery or an attempt to mooch off of him or his work. I will use his concept of Stands, and make a few references to his characters and stories, but ultimately, this is my story. No characters or stands originating from the currently written 8 parts shall appear. As such, any resemblance between my works and any other event or person, real life or otherwise, is purely coincidental unless stated otherwise.
