#oc: pascal

I got a few OCs made specifically for JJBA, and a few OCs I already had that I JoJo-fied. The former are Dawud, Pascal, their stands, and a stand that still needs a user. The latter are Marinus (and Knife and Toy, technically), Sandra, Avery, and Lily and Delta. Dawud and Pascal are a duo that (willingly) work for Dio. Dio is a vampire who's major goal in life is to destroy the Joestar family, and to succeed in that goal, he's gathered a large group of people with stands to kill them with. He's gained a lot of riches, and most people who work for him do it for the money. This is the case for Dawud and Pascal. Other people are loyal to him because of his charms, or because of buds of flesh that he plants in people's heads, that influence them to always be loyal to him. Stands are the manifestation of your life energy, and each stand has certain abilities or powers. Not everyone has a stand, stand users are a very small number of the population. A person can only "generate" one stand, but in rare circumstances can be given additional stands. Animals can have stands too. General rule is that only stand users can see each other's stands, but there are some stands that can be seen by non-stand users. Stands also have a general rule that only stands can touch each other, but there are exceptions to that as well. Stands come in all kinds of shapes and bodies, and stands have various amounts of sapience. Stands based on human concepts (like armour, paper, etc) can only take the shape of the concepts that exist at that time. Most stand users refer to their stands with it/its pronouns, but there are some that use he or she instead. (I have more to say about stands but this ask is already pretty long haha) Araki (the creator of JJBA) has named a lot of stands (and human characters) after song titles and artists, because he can. I follow this trend as well, for stands, because it's fun. Dawud's stand is called Macarena, and it manifests as a boombox. Its powers are that it can play any music Dawud has heard before, and that (if they will it) anyone who hears the music will be forced to dance. Dawud mostly uses Macarena to listen to music whenever they feel like it, practicing their dance moves or just dancing for fun. Making people dance against their will is also handy to keep them in place and distracted while they go places they're not supposed to, and steal valueables. Dawud is not opposed to this at times, it's an easy way to make money and keep themself entertained. Pascal's stand is called Aammoorree (based on the Neil Cicierega version of the song Amore), and it manifests as a blue snake person with bells on its body, and has a bell-ish head. Its powers are that it can grow flowers, and when a flower is attached to a person, that flower will generate alcohol in that person's body. If Pascal doesn't remove or stop the flowers, his victims would eventually succumb to fatal alcohol poisoning. However, Aammoorree can only affect adults. Pascal uses Aammoorree to aid in him manipulating people. Get them distracted or subdued so he can steal from them, get them to do things they otherwise wouldn't do, for his benefit in one way or another. Dawud tries to kill Joestar and friends by making them dance to death (I actually have this somewhat written out). Pascal tries to kill Joestar and friends by getting the adults to die from alcohol poisoning, and then take out the teens manually. Of course, they both fail and get defeated. While the two wait for Joestar and friends to pass by their location on their way to Dio, they are forced to work and live together for a short while. They don't always get along, Pascal's opinions and tastes clashing with Dawud's while neither will always feel like backing down. Pascal is a fancy man with standards, while Dawud is more practical and goes wherever life takes them. But in the end, they manage to stick together and make things work. One thing they do often agree on is their shared (and mild) dislike for some of Dio's other pawns, talking shit about them behind their backs.
