JoJo Stand Generator

Roll a Stand with a song-title name, one ability, a trigger, a cost, and a weakness an enemy will spot. Lock the parts you like, reroll the rest, then tap any stat letter to tune the chart by hand.

Temperament steers the trigger, cost, and weakness toward one personality. Leave the setting on Any for wider rolls.

Locked parts stay put on every new roll.

Low Precision fits an Automatic Stand. The user gives one order and cannot steer after that.

Stand names come from a record shelf, and the shelf changed by Part

Hirohiko Araki did not start with music. The first Stands in Stardust Crusaders took their names from tarot cards and Egyptian gods. From Diamond is Unbreakable onward, Stands carry the names of Western songs, albums, and bands. Crazy Diamond points at Pink Floyd. Killer Queen is a Queen single. Sticky Fingers is a Rolling Stones album.

This generator follows the music rule. Every name in the pool is a real song title, and titles the manga has already used for a Stand are left out, so you do not end up with a second Killer Queen.

Publishing a comic? Check the name first

The official English anime subtitles renamed several Stands. Killer Queen became Deadly Queen, Sticky Fingers became Zipper Man, and Purple Haze became Purple Smoke. Licensing pressure around band and song names is the usual explanation. A fan story on AO3 or a tabletop session will never run into this. A printed zine or a paid webcomic might, so pick a title with a plain meaning or rename the Stand with a nod to the song instead.

What each line on the card is for

A Stand earns its place in a fight through rules an enemy learns. The card splits those rules into five lines, so you judge each one alone.

Form

What the Stand looks like. Tied to the type you roll, so a Colony Stand shows up as a swarm and a Bound Stand lives in an object.

Ability

One verb. Rewind, lock, swap, shrink. Two effects on one Stand turn every fight into a rules argument.

Trigger

The condition the user has to meet. A trigger you point at on the page gives the reader something to watch for.

Cost

What each use takes from the user. Pain, time, memory, or someone close. No cost means no tension.

Weakness

The clue an opponent reads and exploits. Most memorable JoJo fights end on a weakness, not on a bigger punch.

Reading the letters on the stat chart

The manga prints each Stand's parameters as a hexagon with six grades from A to E. The grades are relative, not measured. C means roughly human level. The generator rolls inside a band for each type: Close Range Stands hit hard at short reach, Automatic Stands have range and toughness but little control.

ATop tier. Expect the Stand to win this contest most of the time.
BStrong. Clearly above a person, below the best in the story.
CHuman level. Fine for a trick Stand where the rule does the work.
DWeak. A gap the enemy will aim at.
EClose to useless in this area. Good for comedy or a hidden twist.

Potential is the odd one out. A high Potential grade tells the reader the Stand will grow or reveal a second rule later. Set Potential low if you have no plan for growth.

The balance note under the card reacts to the grades. Push Power and Speed both to A and the note tells you to raise the cost. The rule of thumb holds for most fan Stands. A villain meant to feel unbeatable breaks the rule on purpose.

One roll, revised twice

The card you see on first load is a real roll. Here is how a writer would work on the roll.

  1. Roll: 『Radar Love』, Automatic

    A clockwork hound that follows the loudest heartbeat. Anchors a target where they stood when struck. Fires after eye contact. Recharges for ten minutes. Loud noise breaks the effect.

  2. Edit the cost

    A ten minute timer is dull on the page. Lock the name, ability, form, and weakness, then reroll with temperament set to Coward. The new cost reads "The user has to leave the scene afterward or the effect reverses." Now the user runs from every fight the hound wins.

  3. Keep the weakness

    The noise weakness looks like a clash with a hound hunting heartbeats. Keep the weakness. An enemy who bangs pots and shouts to throw the hound off gives you a whole scene. Precision stays at E, since an Automatic Stand should not take orders mid-hunt.

Where the generator falls short

JoJo Stand generator questions

Are the Stand names from the actual manga?

No. Every name is a real song title, which is how Araki names Stands, but titles already used for a canon Stand are left out of the pool. You get names in the style of the series without copying an existing Stand.

How do I keep the name and reroll the ability?

Tap the lock icon next to the name, then press Summon again. Locked lines stay the same on every roll. The Unlock all button under the card clears every lock at once.

What does the user temperament option change?

Temperament steers the trigger, cost, and weakness. A Coward rolls triggers like only working while running away. A Protector rolls costs where blocked damage lands on the user. Leave temperament on Any for the widest spread.

How do I edit the stat grades?

Yes. Tap any letter under the hexagon to step the grade from A down to E and back to A. The chart and the balance note update on each tap, and the copied sheet uses your edited grades.

Which Stand type suits a mystery story?

Bound and Automatic types. A Bound Stand gives the plot an object to hunt for, and an Automatic Stand keeps working after the user leaves, which hides who is behind the attack.

Why is Potential on the chart instead of Development?

Both labels refer to the same sixth parameter. Translations use Development Potential, Potential, or Learning. The copied sheet uses Potential to keep lines short.
