Jodio Joestar

Jodio Joestar is the protagonist of The JOJOLands, and ninth protagonist of the series. He has yet to be referred to as "JoJo".

He is the grandson of Joseph Joestar, who appeared briefly at the end of Part 8, and his main goal is to becomes rich in Hawaii. He is a drug peddler for the principal of his high school, Meryl May Qi, and commits crimes for the sake of protecting his mother with his brother Dragona and other Stand Users hired by Meryl. His first mission is to steal a priceless diamond from a Japanese tourist on vacation in Hawaii.

He is a Stand User and wields the Stand November Rain, with the ability to crush things under drops of rain.

Physical Appearance
He appears to have short light hair, perhaps two-toned, that covers one of his eyes. He wears it in a tiny braid on the right side of his cheek, with a star shaped pin. His outfit is a light hoodie with a black collar and white trim. His sleeves are long and have black cuffs, and he wears black gloves. He wears one earring on his left ear that are in the shapes of the letters J and O stacked on top of each other.

Occasional Appearances
In Departure, Jodio appears in a flashback as 11 years old when he first started delivering drugs. His appearance is relatively the same, except for being smaller.

Also in Departure, while describing how different he is compared to the squares he goes to school with, he is pictured among other hooligans wearing gold chains and jewelry.

In South King Street, Jodio appears altered on the camera at the villa by Usagi's Stand The Matte Kudesai.

In The Villa on Hawaii Island, Part 1, Jodio wears the hood on his outfit while shielding himself from his Stand's rain.

Early Life
When Jodio was 11 he started peddling drugs and rose his way up to selling them for his school principal, Meryl May Qi. All of this is done so that his mother, Barbara-Ann, will be able to live peacefully and be taken care of.

Part 9: The JOJOLands
Jodio and his brother Dragona were on their way to deliver drugs when they were suddenly stopped by police officers. One of the officers assaults Dragona, and Jodio gets out of the car to use his Stand and defeat the both of them. Dragona thanks her brother and the two of them take the truck they stole to deliver the drugs again.

Later that day Jodio is called into Iko Iko, the fashion store that Dragona works at, by their boss, Meryl May Qi. They are accompanied by Paco Laborantes, another drug peddler in Meryl's gang. She sends them on a mission to steal a priceless diamond from a Japanese tourist staying at a villa on Hawaii Island. Before they leave, they are accompanied by a fourth party member, a boy named Usagi.

They infiltrate the villa and discover that the owner is famous Japanese manga artist, Rohan Kishibe. As they sneak around, they are attacked by a Stand power that controls string, possibly controlled by a stray cat wandering around nearby. They also discover that Rohan has been studying lava rocks and is keeping them in a safe along with the diamond they are there to steal.

Eventually, Rohan catches wind that they have arrived to steal it and attacks them with his Stand, Heaven's Door. He confronts them, but they do not give up information easily, but Rohan makes sure that they are not here to steal the diamond because they "know" what it is, they are just in it for the cash, which he is relieved about. Eventually Jodio catches back up with his friends and disarms Rohan, teasing him about how the lava rocks he kept in the same safe as the diamonds are probably more valuable than he let on. Rohan lets him get away with it, but warns him that there is a responsibility that comes with having it, and that he will be chased for it.

After leaving the jungle, him and the group are apprehended by the three cats and attacked by their wire Stand. Jodio is hung upside down while the lava rock, diamond, and Pink Dark Boy manuscripts are stolen. Usagi is nowhere to be found while the rest of them are tied together in wire, and they assume he ran off with the valuables.

Personality Traits
The protagonist seems to be eccentric and immature. He is obsessed with "mechanisms" of the world and uses that word as a replacement for "system." As a Joestar he is very righteous and good hearted, but he is not afraid to do bad things for a good cause, exemplified when he brutally attacked two police officers who assaulted his brother, and how he deals illegal drugs all for the means of protecting his mother.

November Rain
Jodio possesses the ability to create rain drop pellets that is called November Rain. It is possible that Jodio is able to apply the weight of the objects he is touching to the force on the rain drops, as when he attacks a police officer, he is touching his truck while the rain falls on him.
