Which of these sounds more appealing to you? It's for a game
Fate/Stay meets JoJo
>Every 10 years, the Mage clans gather to participate in a controlled "war" for the Holy Grail, a relic of tremendous power
>Each great family sends one participant, who, through great personal and magical strength, has manifested a [STAND] - a projection of their own spirit and mind, which they use to do battle
>These [STANDS] are reflections of the mages inner personality and strength, and their abilities are wildly different.
or
JoJo meets Fate/Stay
>A great war is brewing between the various powerful mage families who, through the gifts of their bloodlines or the influence of ancient relics, are able to manifest [STANDS], supernatural representations of their spirit with which they do battle
>[STANDS] are linked to the forms of ancient heroes, whom the Stand User's spirit calls out to
>Now the race is on to prevent the Brando family from claiming the Holy Grail as their own and rewriting reality to suit the whims of their Magician Patriarch, DIO

Definitely the second. Make it where the PCs are Mages whose Stands are based on legendary heroes.
Tell the PCs all their powers [system?] have to be based on the legend of the hero they pick, NOT a straight rip-off of a Fate hero [for instance if they choose Gilgamesh it can't be 'that' Gilgamesh, they have to OC that shit], and also should have some degree of Jojo-inspired weirdness.

The latter for sure. The former is just a generic battle royale thing with stands, but the latter manages to incorporate the most interesting bits of both.

Oh thank god someone replied I really wanted to talk about this
Yes, part of the appeal to JoJo is the weird and highly circumstantial powers. I was just wondering if it would be better to do Fate/Stay with JoJo stands, or JoJo with Fate/Stay heroic spirits
I like your idea though. Characters stands are BASED off of legendary heroes, like a template. But their powers are half based on the 'source material', and half based on the user itself. Like they're drawing on the platonic ideal of King Arthur, or the archetype, rather than summoning King Arthur himself. Come to think of it this is a far better explanation for King Arthur being a little girl than Fate/Stay got... But I digress
help me think of examples

What system are you using for this, thats very important?
Also no, you let the PCs make up the heroes. Also I didn't mean the powers were based on the user/Mage, I meant that the powers are based on the hero, but through a Jojo-lens. Also make sure the Stands remain named after music.
For example, a Gilgamesh Stand could be called 「Princes of the Universe」 and could give you the power to make anyone you defeat in a fair fight your best friend [via magical mind control/manipulation].

Hell you could basically base the entire Stand for Gil off Queen.
「We Will Rock You」 Grants super-strength
「Don't Stop Me Now」 Grants super-durability
「Somebody to Love」 Supernaturally seduces
「You're My Best Friend」 Anyone defeated becomes your best friend
「Who Wants to Live Forever」 Some-kind of ultimate super-move
