Just thought my lil rant if twitter is relevant Lmao.
But seriously if u draw Jouta let me know in the comments lmao, bonus points if you have your own version of him (and his stand). Like I just want more people who draw him, cuz I think I may be the only one.
Ref for Jouta and his stand (his new refs. His old ref can be used, but only Charmy's new ref can be used)
Info under the cut (has been updated since his last ref) (sorry if the info is all over the place it was originally on discord)
His backstory is different from the original Jouta's backstory.
Jotaro and Kakyoin were teaming together yet again to track down some of DIO's followers that they didn't fight.
One of these followers was an unnamed stand user/stand. The stand user was able to be able to handle themselves against them both, even causing them great wounds, but they were able to best the user.
But the stand had one last 'ability', it could 'cheat death' in a sort of backwards way. But is basically created a completely new being, one with no memory of its past life. It did this by using the blood from both Jotaro and Kakyoin to create a new being, even with a new stand as the original user/stand died.
The new being (that would become named Jouta) was around 6 years old.
(Depending on the amout of blood it used/could get is depending on how old the new being would have been)
At first they were going to kill the kid, as it obviously came from the enemies ability. But they realized that it was literally just a kid, with no memory of the past life.
They still didn't fully trust the kid, but didn't want to just leave a 6 year old on their own, and didn't want to give him to someone just in case he was faking missing memory. So they ended up taking Jouta with them to track down what was left of the stand users in that area.
Kakyoin seemed to get the feeling that they were in the clear in terms of the kid being just a kid, and Jotaro trusting Kakyoin on this let Kakyoin decide what to do with the kid.
Though Jouta wasn't fully human, with the sharp teeth, and what seems to be unusual strength for someone his age. But since at the time he wasn't really doing anything bad they dismissed it of being a byproduct of being part stand.
They decided to meet up with the rest of the stardust crusaders to explain the situation, and to get others opinions on the matter. Met with scepticism at first but was dismissed after the story had been told the others seemed to get along with the kid.

Joseph named the kid Jouta, and told Kakyoin and Jotaro that he could take Jouta off of his hands and him and Suzi Q could look after him. Which both agreed was the best, but Kakyoin stated that he'd still be in Jouta's life, since he couldn't just leave a kid that's basically his. Even if the situation was weird.
During the time of Jouta with Joseph and Suzi Q, Joseph taught Jouta qutie a few things such as Hamon and predicting what people will say next. Jouta picked up a bit of Joseph's personality in terms of being a bit of a goof, and being a bit cocky. Much to everyones amusment of him being a little shit with people
Still in this time Jouta struggled a bit with emotions, and would get frustrated easily. Leading him to go non-verbal, and since he didn't really know how to communicate when non-verbal he'd get his point across by biting people if they did something he didn't like (this is a behaviour he never really fully grows out of). Due to this they people around Jouta started to learn sign language (unsure of which sign they'd learn yet)
Jouta started to get taught at the Speedwagon Foundation, e.g. kinda like homeschooling but at the Foundation. But after a few months was moved into schooling at the Foundation after a kid decided to bully Jouta. He (Jouta) ended up breaking the kids arm by accident, since he wasn't used to his in-human strenght/didn't fully realize how weak humans are.
In this time they came to also realise that Jouta has a stand, but Jouta never fully showed it, only had it unraveled. Leading to everyone assuming thats all there was of the stand. Jotaro was tasked with naming it, and grabbed the nearest thing that happened to be dish-soap so called the stand "Charmy Green", even though the stand had already given itself a name Jouta never corrected them.
⭐⭐⭐
After a few years (5) Kakyoin ended up fully taking in Jouta and looking after him. Jotaro ends up being around a bit, but doesn't fully get involved with things Jouta does.
Just before Jouta fully moved in with Kakyoin is when he met Jolyne (who was around 6-7 years old ((she was around 3-4 when Jouta first came to exist)) Jouta would be around 11).
Kakyoin made up the excuse to Jotaro's wife that he adopted Jouta since a family member of his couldn't take care of him anymore, and thats why he now has Jouta (since the wife knew Kak a bit before Jouta appeared).
Jotaro's wife pretty much accepted that and even treated Jouta as one of her own, having Jolyne and Jouta being raised like siblings (despite the fact they actually are).
A few more years go by (4), Jouta on top of doing schooling at the Foundation would also do tasks for the Speedwagon Foundation and Kakyoin, as well as doing stand training with both Kakyoin and Jotaro, even still not showing his stand. So at this point both Kakyoin and Jotaro believed thats all there was to Jouta's stand.
Also during this time, Kakyoin would have Jouta doing things/chores for the elderly in their neighborhood, since Kakyoin wanted Jouta to go be social, since with Jouta oly having interactions with family/family friends/Speedwagon Foundation, he wanted him to have more interaction to try to help Jouta.
Jouta didn't mind too much, since the people he'd do odd jobs for were nice to him, and would normally offer him food. (food is the way to his heart. How to easily befriend him)
When Jotaro and his wife devorced, Jouta still visits her and Jolyne, Jouta trying his best to be a sort of perental figure since Jotaro seemed to fade out of the family picture. Though Jotaro did try to make an effort, especially since he had Jouta nagging him all the time about spending time with Jolyne.
⭐⭐⭐
After all that, for Jouta's last year of high school, Kakyoin decided to put Jouta back into public school in hopes Jouta would interact with people, specifically in hopes Jouta would make some actual friends.
It caused an argument between Jouta and Kakyoin, since Jouta didn't want to go into public school, but Kakyoin didn't back down and told Jouta that hes going.
Jouta normally doesn't argue, and normally does as he is told, but this was something he really wasn't happy about.
Before the school year started, Kakyoin decided to move them both to Morioh, so Kakyoin could be closer to his family. And would give Jouta a fresh start. This was done as well since Kakyoin wouldn't be suprised if people in their old area remembered about Jouta breaking that kids arm. So this was done in hopes that a reputation wouldn't follow Jouta around.
Jotaro ended up coming along when Jouta first moved to Morioh, not to live there too, but to let Jouta meet Josuke and the rest of the Morioh gang. This was done since he (Jotaro) wanted people to look out for Jouta, since he wasn't sure how Jouta would be in school.
On his (Jouta's) first day when waiting for the bus he nearly gets into a fight, since he decided to defend someone from the punks of the school. (this person happened to be Rae). Which Josuke and co. go there in time to break it up. In which Rae eneded up following Jouta around after that, since Jouta pretty much deterred anyone trying to pick on him.
Jouta would hang out with Josuke and co. but also likes to go off on his own, e.g. going off campus at dinner, since he didn't exactly want to eat, but also doesn't want to hang around people. But it never stopped Rae from tagging along. Which it ended up at dinner Jouta would even wait for Rae to get out of class so they could head out together.
Or would even walk Rae home at the end of the day, since Rae's house was on the way to his.
⭐⭐⭐
During this time he never really showed Rae he had a stand, since he didn't really want anything to do with stands. Ignoring whenever Rae had Blood Sugar out. And would act like he didn't notice the stand. But due to being friends with Josuke and co. Rae ended up finding out.
A bit after being in the school, Someone started to use their stand to mess with Rae and Jouta, causing people who were otherwise uninterested in them now suddenly became obsessed with them. Leading to Jouta having a terrible time, since he didn't like random people trying to grab onto his arms and stuff.
Both Jouta and Rae see it as a stand doing this, and set out to find the user, since Jouta is basically moments away from blowing up and hitting people. After some investigation they find the user (Noelle) and their friend (Yua). Which with Jouta threatening them, then a fight between him and Yua they came to a uneasy pact to not mess with each other.
But this ended up with them slowly becoming friends.
⭐⭐⭐
During the time when Jouta, Rae and Yua were hanginig out they found a stand (King of Convenience, or King for short). The stand was being harassed by a few stray dogs trying to play with him. In which the group saves King from the dogs. But since they weren't sure if King was evil they sort of began to harass him too.
They didn't just want to let King run free, but both due to Rae and Yua's home situations they couldn't take King in, so it lead to Jouta taking King back home with him.
Which Jouta had to explain to Kakyoin about King, since he wasn't sure if King would try to attack and wanted Kakyoin to be aware of a possible danger.
Since Jouta has hobbies like knitting/sewing/art he was able to stitch King back to new. Which King appreciated. After that the group decided to keep him and add him to their group, in which they discovered Kings power of having a pocket dimention. Which they used to store things, or even use it as a sort of hideout for themselves.
⭐⭐⭐
Jouta is 6,5 (still growing) and is around 17 years old.
Jouta is technically part stand. Having in-human strength, sharp teeth, and eyes can narrow into slits. He is also bordering on having a photographic memory, though he doesn't really use that memory for productive things, more like being able to remember films and just have them playing in his head when hes bored.
He calls Kakyoin "Dad" or "Papa" and Jotaro either "Pops" or sometimes "Old Man". He will normally call Joseph "Gramps" and also the "Old Man" nickname too. Calls Suzi Q "Nonna", and Holly “Nana”
Jouta is an emotional person, and can be impulsive acting on emotions, this can lead to him possibly being easily manipulated, or easily baited into getting mad. In tern this makes it easy for enemies to fight him due to being able to take advantage of Jouta’s personality.
Jouta is just a bit all over the place with his personality, and can get easily spooked into shutting down and acting emotionless, or easily spooked into having too much emotion.
Jouta can also get hung up on things said about him, especially if its said by people he cares about.
But despite this, his normal personality is a bit of a goof and a cocky asshole. But one that has a big heart for his family/friends and would do anything for them. Sure he'd never admit this to people, but people seem to pick up on it from little things he does for them to try to show he cares.
⭐⭐⭐
Stand's music reference "Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Freefall"
Jouta doesn't really use his stand (fully, he will use it when its unravaled) when he has friends around, since due to the explosions his stand causes its a go big or go home sort of deal. Friend or foe the explosions don't discriminate.
His stand also doesn't fully listen to him. Well technically it does, mainly when it comes to fighting. But it goes off of Jouta's emotions rather than what Jouta thinks he wants, it goes off of subconscious thoughts.
Editional info on what Devil Freefall can do:
Make Jouta invulnerable to small explosions when fully out, or can let Jouta chill in its open chest to make him invulnerable to larger explosions.
Can do something similar to "Crimson Moon" (from Fire Force).
And later on (when he uses a stand arrow to get an extra ability) gets the ability to stop other stand abilities for a short time (in which like time stop, he can train this ability to last longer)
⭐⭐⭐
Jouta due to how stong he is and what his stand is capable of is partly scared of his stand and himself, as hes always super worried about possibly hurting ones who are close to him. So normally when he does touch someone he cares about normally he does so with caution.
But Rae is a physically affectionate person (so is Jouta its just the fear he has that stops him), Rae tries to help Jouta get over this fear.
Due to his fear of himself, he also fears the fact he isn't human. His fear of his stand and what it says about him as a person. And his slight fear of not exactly being human. He's just got such a worry about the fact he sees himself as a monster, even though he hasn't really done anything bad intentionally.
He knows this fear shouldn't exist, but he can't help but have the dread that comes with his existence.
Jouta also has a fear of people, specifically strangers, since he doesn't really know what they're thinking or going to do next,
Joseph somewhat found a way to help Jouta with this fear, without knowing he did. And it was when he taught Jouta to be able to know what people are going to say next, but Jouta can only really use it in specific situations to help himself. But its enough for Jouta to somewhat be fine interacting with strangers.
One of his last fears is a fear of the dark. This started when he pretty much started existing. When Kak and Jotaro were taking him around with them while they tried to work out if he was a threat. Since enemy stand user attacks happened under the cover of night, the darkness. This also lead his stand to develop glowing hair to try to combat this fear of the dark for Jouta. (The hair basically turned into fire, so its added defence for the stand)
⭐⭐⭐
Jouta wants to learn about his past life. He knows he was a bad person in his past life.
But he isn’t aloud access to the file on his past life, nor is he aloud access to his own file (from the Speedwagon Foundations files on stand users).
(Which those two files later get stolen by Giorgi). He knows he’d be devised by what he reads about his past life, but he feels he has a right to know, since he’s so scared of becoming the person he once was.
