List of Stands

General Stand Rules

 * A Stand protects its user, like a guardian. The name comes from "standing by" the user, sometimes using their powers without direct orders in order to protect the user, and by extension, themselves.
 * A person can only have one Stand, though that Stand can go through metamorphosis to evolve (Echoes, for example).
 * As a Stand is part of the user, damage is reflected between the two. In most circumstances, if the Stand's leg is sliced off, the user will lose their leg as well. Some Stands, such as The Fool, and the armor of Silver Chariot, are immune to this effect.
 * Stands can only be seen by Stand users. There are exceptions, but only with Stands that are bound to physical objects (for example, Strength and Yellow Temperance).
 * The further the Stand is from its user, the weaker the Stand becomes, with most only being capable of acting within three meters. Some exceptions are Hierophant Green and Highway Star.
 * Stands are usually bound to the user's body, but exceptions are abound, such as Wheel of Fortune being bound to a car, and The Fool being bound to sand.
 * Most Stands have no personal goals, serving their master without question. Stands who don't have users will generally go wild, such as Notorious B.I.G. and Anubis. Some Stands show personality, speaking to others besides their master, but most still serve their master without question, The only shown exceptions were Surface, Whitesnake, who was shown to question his Master's motives (though it never spoke out), and Cheap Trick, whose motives are wholly selfish. An exception to this rule can be Silver Chariot Requiem. At the end of Part V: Vento Aureo, he attempted to turn all living things in the world into new life forms.
 * The first Stands in the JoJo Universe are named after the Major Arcana of the Tarot and Egyptian Gods. From near the end of Part III onwards, stands were named after musical bands, albums, and songs. In part VI, many stand users are named after fashion labels.
 * In Part VII: Steel Ball Run, Stand mechanisms have changed; they no longer appear in battle (only appearing once when involved, such as Tusk) and the user does the attacking instead. Stands also look less human and more of them are conscious and can actually talk to their owners (e.g.Poco Loco's unnamed stand).
