Character Information
Josuke is a high school student from the tiny town of Morioh, Japan! At first blush, Josuke can seem like something of a delinquent, but he's a good kid with a lot of heart! And he can be pretty temperamental. He can't help himself when it comes to "fixing" things, and with the help of Crazy Diamond, he's able to do exactly that. Oh just, don't make fun of his hair, unless you're looking for some facial reconstruction....

Appearance
Click for large view
Prefer the colors from the official colorized manga (see: left), shoes are purple. Right is just a nice fullbody shot (disregard whatever's going on on his back). Winter clothes are roughly this or this without the adornments.
Smaller details to notice: Josuke is half-Japanese, half-British. His ears are pierced. His default attire has expensive adornments, e.g his shoes are Bally. good hair & skincare routine, he clearly cares about his appearance.
If you wanna see Crazy Diamond you'll need to be a Stand User or be able to see souls in some capacity. Or be patient, I plan to jack this shit up.
Please don't ask me to explain his nipple zippers.......... I.... I don't know man.......
Skills & Abilities
Josuke is a Stand User. Stands are summons which are directly connected to a user’s soul. If one dies, the other perishes. Non-Stand users cannot see Stands, however Stands can interact with the physical world. Josuke’s is called Crazy Diamond - a subservient, short-range Stand which allows Josuke to repair almost anything.
Restoration
The main feature of Josuke's Stand is its ability to repair (almost) anything. Josuke's restoration doesn't seem largely affected by a specific range, so long as one object meets the two meter qualifier. Josuke is also able to repair things into a state which they were not in before, if he wants. When Josuke is pissed off, his ability to repair things seems to be impaired.
Inanimate Objects. So long as all the pieces exist & are within a reasonable range, Josuke can repair an item back to its unbroken state. The force of this repair is fairly powerful and fairly fast. Repairing parts can be used as projectiles. Josuke can also deconstruct items to their components.
— The Diadem | NERFED. Josuke's ability to repair large objects has a high failure rate, and can result in the repair not succeeding or backfiring completely. Small, inexpensive repairs to large objects are still allowed (flat tire, headlight, etc).
The Human Body. So long as all the parts exist, Josuke can repair the damage done to someone's body. He cannot fix himself or anything "apart" of him, he cannot cure afflictions, and he can't bring the dead back to life. Josuke has used this ability to track someone with their severed hand, and rescue another from kidnapping with a severed arm.
Combat
Offensive Crazy Diamond is a close combat stand with a range of about two meters. It's crazy strong and crazy fast. He can break down most large objects and respond to most things. In addition to firing off unorthodox projectiles, Josuke can fire actual projectiles, too - like ball berrings or bullets.
Defensive With its crazy speed, Crazy Diamond is able to block very fast attacks. Because Josuke can repair objects extremely quickly, it gives him the ability to create walls of concrete to defend himself. Crazy Diamond is also incredibly fast and can catch bullets in close proximity. It also can catch Josuke.
If shit gets "hairy". All bets are off the table if a character insults his hair (or comes even close to insulting it!) If angered enough, Josuke will fly into a literal blind rage, which he is completely uncognazant of the world around him while he goes ape. Please abuse this with caution!
Just a Guy
Clever boy. Josuke appears to be incredibly good at thinking on his feet and is typically very aware of his surroundings. He's good at reading his opponents and can plan several steps ahead on an attack.
Built Different. He has high physical endurance and can take a hell of a beating. Think like: Josuke vrs Forklift, forklift loses.
Flexibility
Juuuust because he can do a thing, doesn't mean he's gotta do it; just because it's not listed here, doesn't mean he can't figure out some hairbrained scheme to make it happen. JJBA is fairly creative with its use of Stands, and occasionally forgets to be consistent. Point is, there's pleanty of room to flex around for silly reasons.
