Stand Name: Devil’s Tattoo [song ref] Stand Description of Abilities: Devil’s Tattoo one of the quicker but less brute strength stands and it’s range about 15 meters. If it touches you, it can leave behind the symbol on its palm, which resembles a cross, that will cause some kind of sensation (usually pain) of his choosing. It starts off mild and gradually gets more and more prominent over time until either he is incapacitated or takes it off willingly. There can be multiple marks if it touches you multiple times and the marks can be left on other Stands. Because of this, fighting it can be tricky. Since its power is not inherently useful in a battle right away, Afremov usually uses it as a quicker second body for fighting hand-to-hand, which he is content with because he’s experienced enough with that style of fighting. Brief Backstory: As a child, Afremov and his family (father, mother, older brother, younger sister) have been living... rough. They were poor, exceedingly so, and his mother died of an illness when he was 7, throwing his father in a pit of despair, which resulted in, well, worse times for most people who interacted with him from then on. Afremov has been living with his stand for a better part of his life and has decided that a change of pace in his life was needed after serving in the military (he was a sniper and still carries a gun with him to this day), during which both his older brother (Alecsei) and his father (Sergay) died (he only feels bad about one of those though). That change of pace comes in the form of moving he, his dog, and his shop to Morioh because it seemed small and homey enough to suit his needs (it’s also a good chance to better learn Japanese-style tattoos). He’s still in the process of learning Japanese, so his ability to speak with the locals is somewhat hindered unless they know Russian or English, but he’s trying his best. Because Afremov has some level of PTSD, certain topics can be a bit... taboo with him, but he’s nowhere near inclined to tell anyone that. His dog, Volk, is usually good enough at calming him down anyway.
