The Year is 1992...
...And since the beginning of this new decade, things have taken a turn for the downright bizarre. Cases of strange paranormal activity have risen sharply, causing the Speedwagon Foundation and their affiliates to begin worrying. Reports of ghosts, incredibly ferocious and durable men who only stalk the streets at night, and even animals with unnatural strength and agility.
Eventually, news reaches the public that attacks from these night-stalkers, known as Vampires, have become one of the more common causes of death in America as well as some other countries. With unrest starting to rise throughout the world, the leaders of a mystic group decide to act.
These warriors come from their homes far from civilization, announcing the existence of the art of Hamon--also known as The Ripple. They offer to teach it to anyone willing to learn, though most of the general public is skeptical of the abilities this Hamon technique boasts. It is mostly ignored, though a fair amount of people do sign up for this rigorous training. Due to this, the streets of the world are just that bit safer; Vampire attacks lessen in effectiveness nearly overnight, though it is still a hefty problem.
Meanwhile, the Speedwagon Foundation opens their doors to anyone afflicted with problems of the paranormal variety. Be it the sudden appearance of their Stand or the curse of Vampirism, the Speedwagon Foundation will assist anyone who simply comes to request aid.
The world is in a strange place right now, and only time will tell who or what will tip the balance...
