Personality:
You should always beware the quiet ones, especially if that motherfucker is 6'5".

To the unfamiliar eye, Jotaro looks the part of someone who can and would throw a person farther than they can spit. He's physically strong, and his stand is even stronger, but while he can make a fight physical (and will do so if it's practical) his preference is the opposite. Jotaro is intelligent, quick-witted and perceptive. In canon, he is a professor, an oceanographer, and a (supernatural) investigator of sorts. Even before Stone Ocean, Jotaro has helped investigate a serial killer in Japan (while doing his PhD, no less), and has tracked down the illegitimate son of his mortal enemy to Italy (albeit not in person).

It is also easy to mistake Jotaro Kujo as someone who doesn't care. At first glance, he seems like a callous and abrasive man. He appears in the prison his daughter, Jolyne, has been arrested in and asks if she has the amulet he sent her through her mother. No explaining where he's been for years. No acting like a father. When Jolyne trips and falls, Jotaro reaches out to Jolyne, but Jolyne realises that he was actually trying to give her the pendant that she had dropped and not reaching to help her up. He doesn't even ask if she's okay. He just reminds her that she needs to keep the pendant safe. One would think explaining that the pendant has a transmitter that is actively being tracked and followed by the submarine they intend to escape with would be something to tell your daughter but Jotaro doesn't see the need to until he literally has his soul torn out of him. Jotaro consistently doesn't tell others his plans, intentions or motives, mostly because he doesn't see the need to.

Jotaro's biggest flaw is that he doesn't express himself. Ironically, he thinks he's easy to read (he's not) and doesn't think it's necessary to portray how he feels further. He doesn't tell people what he's planning or how he feels. Jotaro never explicitly shows how much he loves his mother and grandfather, even though he respects them both. Similarly, his neglect of both his wife and daughter stems from a need to protect them from the supernatural world of Stands. Naturally, he explains none of this, leading to a divorce and a strained relationship with Jolyne. In fact, Jotaro was so focused on getting Jolyne out of prison, that he actually seemed stunned when she finally called him out on being an absent father.

Despite his stoic exterior, Jotaro has a lot of bad one-liners a gentle heart and a strong sense of justice. If someone is in trouble right in front of him (or if his family is involved), Jotaro will do the right thing, come to their aid and he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself to do so. The biggest evidence of this is when he was facing the final antagonist of Stone Ocean. He could have killed them but he chose not to, opting to instead push his daughter out of harm's way instead.

Above everything, Jotaro is determined and everything he does is for one goal and one goal only: to protect his family. He constantly pushes his body past its limits for the people he loves and has put himself in mortal danger to protect his friends and family. He even survived for a couple of minutes after having his soul ripped out in order to make sure Jolyne would have a safe escape route out of prison. However, as a consequence, to protect his family, Jotaro also pushes them away so they can't be hurt. For years, he constantly works to near-death to protect them while emotionally they drift further and further away.

Until he dies alone, bleeding out into the ocean.

Victory Road Sample: Jotaro remembers his eyes filling with red. Then it going black. If he tries hard enough, he can vaguely recall the smell of blood and then salt water filling into his skull as he collapses into the ocean...

Pucci was right - his greatest weakness was his daughter. He was two steps behind. Two steps too late.

But... I know Dad's gonna come save me. He'll be here, definitely. Dad will be here soon... to save me...

-------

Jotaro stares at the ceiling, blurry-eyed and groggy. What was that? Was he dreaming? Or was he waking up from another coma? He's not sure but this is definitely not somewhere he's familiar with. The large man grimaces as he gets out of the tiny and cramped bed, and brings his hand over the left side of his face. From the top of his forehead to his chin, there's a deep scar Jotaro didn't remember getting over his multiple adventures. But before Jotaro can even comprehend what's going on, the door opens and out steps a woman, perhaps a decade younger than he is. An enemy? Or is it a hallucination? Fuck... he's not in the mood for this.

"Oi, woman. Where am I?"

But 'Mom' is a trained professional who doesn't take questions or 'fuck offs'. Despite Jotaro's towering height and build she gets him out of the house, and somehow the door holds when Jotaro violently slams his fist against the wood, demanding Mom to give him some answers.

It's fruitless, of course, so Jotaro is left out in the unfamiliar town, bag in hand. Where was this? What was this? Heaven? Hell? A Stand Attack? Jotaro cautiously looks around, half-ready for an enemy to jump out and kill him. This has to be a trick, right? Right? He balls his fist so hard it shakes. He needs answers now. As far as he knows, his only daughter is in danger and-

"Star Platinum!" Jotaro throws the bag aside with the war cry. The bag slams against the ground and there's a violent flash of light.

But his partner isn't brought forth. The familiar visage of his wild-haired spirit (his very soul) is nowhere to be seen. Instead, in front of him is an empty Pokeball that's rolled out of his bag and a floating, light blue dolphin.

"Finizen!"

"... You're not Star Platinum." As he says the stand's name again, the creature (Finizen?) chitters excitedly, like a dog hearing their master call their name. Jotaro's good at reading people and animals, and he can immediately tell that the Finizen thinks he's calling it Star Platinum - Fucking idiot.

Jotaro holds out his hand and the Finizen immediately floats over, nuzzling it affectionately. It doesn't feel like a stand... Maybe they weren't in battle?

"Yare Yare..." Jotaro's not sure what it is. Maybe it's the creature's adorable appearance (he does love dolphins almost as much as starfish). Maybe it's cheery background music that's weirdly playing around him. Maybe it's how peaceful everything is... but he takes a moment to breathe. Right... so this wasn't a battle... so where was this?

He needs to get information. He needs to ask around and figure out what was going on. The man pats the Pokemon on the head once more and then starts to walk away, looking for someone else to give him answers. However, the creature 'swims' through the air after him, jolly as ever. Jotaro frowns over his shoulder.

"Are you following me?"

"Finizen!" Thankfully, Jotaro is used to understanding mono-word speech and knows a 'yes' when he hears one. The man stares at the dolphin for a long moment before he sighs and turns away.

"Fine. I need help getting answers, anyway." He backtracks and scoops up the bag, the Finizen's ball included. "I need to find my daughter, Jolyne. So if you're going to follow me, make sure you help me out... Star."

"Finizen!"
