Within the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure canon there are separate timelines during which different members of the Joestar lineage defeat villains. In an attempt to retain the generational aspect of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, this site houses four distinct timelines throughout which you will RP a Lineage of your own! However, RPing an entire Lineage at the same time is difficult, so in order to keep the complexity of these four timelines low - each Lineage may only have one active Descendant within each of the four timelines.
Using the Joestar Lineage as an example;
As you may have noticed, Dio Brando appeared during two separate timelines. Due to Dio Brando being of the Immortal race, he has become ageless and is therefore able to live within multiple timelines at once without worrying about his body breaking down like the human race. Each Lineage may only have one active Descendant within each of the four timelines, but due to Dio Brando being Immortal - he is the one Descendant across all four timelines. What does this mean for you, the player? Since there are four timelines with room for one character from each Lineage, you can RP between 1 and 4 characters from the same Lineage at a time, each from different races and with different abilities!
So how many Lineages can you have? Well, as many as you want - so long as you create a separate account for each Lineage.
Does this mean you can have more than one character in a single timeline? Yes, but keep in mind you will still be considered one player so don't break the rules - if you RP by yourself using multiple Lineages within the same timeline, you can still only post once a day in a thread.
What happens if a character being RPed during multiple timelines dies within an early timeline? Don't worry, you can still RP that character within the other timelines as if they didn't die - but that character is no longer able to be RPed within the timeline they perished.
Using the Joestar Lineage as an example;
- During the Victorian Era, Johnathan Joestar battled Dio Brando.
- During the Industrial Era, Joseph Joestar battled the Pillar Men.
- During the Atomic Era, Jotaro Kujo battled Dio Brando.
