Due to the common trope of ”Stand users attract other stand users”, I figured that Bulsara would just happen to find one of the Joestar group members or one of the villains by sheer coincidence and both manage to discover the other’s stand ability and then he gets recruited into the journey with the promise of photos of interesting and touching events in order to get home to join, or he could be in the background and discover a stand battle to consider it interesting and then approach one of the groups himself. Either way works I think. The Arcs will all take place in remote locations like the Rho Facility so it doesn't make sense for Freedie to just stumble onto the Joestar Group or the antagonists. Sheer coincidence would only make sense for a story set in a place like Morioh, where Stand Users are can easily stumble onto each other by accident. This RP will take place in remote facilities and locations where Freddie can't just coincidentily stumble into. I mean right now the group is inside a secret reseach facility in the middle of upstate NY. Freddie can't just happen to be there because he travels around, that doesn't make any sense. So neither way works.

In most super-powered shows, there is always one guy whose job is basically to help discover the abilities of the person they are fighting or if trying to discover what their opponent’s goals and past are. That’s what Bulsara is. He’s similar to Joseph and Abacchio. He’s also not completely useless in a fight, as he can temporarily blind or deafen an opponent by taking a photo of a loud environment or taking a disgustingly horrid or obscene picture in order for his opponent to lose face long enough for home to fore a bullet or have an ally deliver an attack. This is just my idea though, perhaps it wouldn’t totally work. Also, he just had his stand since birth and there isn’t really a reason for it, similar to Avdol or Kakyoin where it was never really explained why they have their stands. I suppose that aspect of the power can come in handy in certain situations. He'd be mostly stuck in a support role though if he were to join the Joestar Group.
