I'm Maelstrom, and I'm mostly here to help with the JoJo game pages since they're currently pretty heavily lacking. I'm always willing to help out with other projects though if I can be of assistance. Currently, I'm working on the All-Star Battle R character pages.
I currently only have 4,000 edits on this wiki.
About Me
I started watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in the Spring of 2019 when visiting a friend during spring break after being prompted by said friend and expressing some interest in Vento Aureo since it was airing at the time. I'd of course known about some memes for years though. I got through Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency but only half way through Stardust Crusaders before I had to fly home. Since my friend and I promised to watch it all together, and he lives across the country, I didn't continue the series until August of 2022 when I decided to continue on my own. I rapidly marathoned the rest of the series in a little less than a month. I'm up to date with the series, but still need to go back and read the manga for Parts 1, 2, 4, and 5 at some point (currently reading slowly through Stardust Crusaders).
While I've done minor work on the Fandom (gross, but there's no other wiki for it sadly) Devil May Cry wiki, this is the first time I've actually been properly involved in the community of a wiki. Having grown up on the amazingly informative wiki that is the Transformers wiki, it pleases me greatly to be able to help expand a great wiki for a different series I deeply enjoy, even if the work is a bit on the minor side.
Other Media Interests
I tend to hyperfixate, which is why I'm here, so while I have plenty of other interests, nothing quite matches JoJo at the moment. However, those other interests include (ordered by original media type):
- Transformers All shows up to Cyberverse, 2012-2019 IDW comic runs, High Moon Studio games, movies, etc.
- My Hero Academia Manga (caught up) & Anime up to season 4
- Seraph of the End Manga (caught up), Novels, & Anime
- Id – Invaded Anime & Manga
- Devil May Cry Games, Novels, Anime, & Manga
- Ace Attorney Games, Anime, & Manga (only a few one-off chapters)
- Mass Effect Games
- Pokemon Games
- Shovel Knight Game
I've read/watched/played a plethora of other stuff.
Favorites/Rankings
These rankings reflect my favorites rather than what I think is objectively best. That'd be different. Low ranking doesn't equate bad necessarily. I just like others more than that. The JOJOLands things are rated low because the part just started, but I have faith it'll rise through the rankings.
Despite some overlap with my favorite characters, the users of the Stands listed have no bearing on their Stand's presence here beyond some possible creative uses. Instead, my favorite Stands are based off of either (or a mix of) looks, ability, personality if applicable, and use.
Honestly, I'm not so sure on this as I only solidly know my favorite and least favorite (though it's all very enjoyable) with everything else kinda floating around inbetween based on my gripes at the time.
