"Zitti e Buoni"

Of course dear! My stand isn't dangerous, but it's really useful!

I'll try to briefly explain how the stand works

Zitti e buoni (lit. Shut up and behave)

'Zitti e Buoni' is an automatic bound stand that takes the appearance of an Olivetti typewriter machine, and it's also visible to non-stand users.

STATS:

Precision: A

Range: None

Durability: E

Power: ~

Speed: None

HOW IT WORKS:

'Zitti e Buoni' automatically activates when the user is threatened or attacked.

It is sufficient for the target to be causing anxiety and/or harm to the stand user.

When this happens, the typewriter produces a nefarious prophecy poem which, depending on the severity of the threat/attack, can cause high levels of damage to the target.

EFFECTS:

Zitti e Buoni's fortunes take the form of a poem with four or five quatrains of four lines each.

Each event referenced in the poem is present as a metaphor.

Inauspicious fortunes always contain advice, and misfortune can be avoided if warnings are heeded.

Zitti e buoni' can write profecies for an unlimited number of targets.

A target cannot be cursed twice in a row. The typewriter has to wait for the first prophecy to be fulfilled.

Physically attacking the object and destroying it will not help avoiding a prophecy that's already been cast.

If damaged or destroyed, the typewriter will later re-manifest good as new.

FUN FACTS:

The machine also works as a normal typewriter.

Act 1 - The Saint

Bria is a natural stand user, with her ability manifesting quite early on in her life, as a means to survive being orphaned at a younger age after her mother passed on.

It's a phenomenon stand, which means that there isn't a humanoid manifestation of the ability, but rather the user undergoes changes to their bodies, granting them a special ability.

In the first act, her stand ability is focused on defence and speed.

Essentially, when her stand is called out she sprouts iridescent wings from her back that can wrap around herself and someone she's holding to shield them and herself from damage. Her weakness though is that it leaves her back open to attack if the enemy can pinpoint the right area.

She also develops circuit-like markings on her face and body and her eyes cloud over.

She believes that these assist when she needs to move at lightning speed to dodge an enemy. While being able to move faster than the average person is useful, the weakness is that it takes a toll on her body, and she's constantly looking for ways to train and get stronger.

The power stats aren't the strongest either.

Act 2 - War

This phase of the stand had manifested after Bria had been placed in Polpos unit after passing her initiation.

She was frequently sent out with Bucciarati, as they worked quite well together.

Unfortunately, during a seemingly simple mission, Bucciarati and Bria had found themselves overpowered by the very people they needed to protect. Bria had been injured quite badly, but somehow had summoned the strength to deal a fatal blow to their assailant, before passing out.

It had turned out that the final push had come from the evolution of her stand.

Act 2 abandons defence for attack power, her wings, body markings and eyes turn black, her speed boost remains, and her power levels are boosted, again though, her body takes damage from her attacks.

Trivia

Bria often sleeps with her stand activated and wrapped around her (as protective barrier that nothing is able to get through) when she's in an unfamiliar place or if she's stressed.

Non stand users can't see any of the changes that happen to her when The Cult is activated.

Oh, well... I can control the Rods with it.

Behold my stand!...

@twinfoxx 🙏I’m so sorry this took so long 🙏 please forgive me!!!

Your ability allows you to weaken, nullify, and reflect force. This is reminiscent of your diverse personality and responses. There are a few rules to remember when using your stand

You can only nullify force if physical objects. It won’t work on a stand’s punch but it will work on something a stand throws (i.e. a rock)

You can only reflect force made by stands or non-physical things such as... plasma? If you find an enemy that can throw [abstract noun] then this will apply.

Your stand can weaken all kinds of force. This is your go to in case you don’t know wether that [abstract noun] might be concrete.

I kind of imagine your stand looking like a big bars boi that caught you when you fell of those cliffs (I actually did the same things when I was young! {I say that like I’m 20 ;-; }) Anyhow, you have a big bara boi stand! It’s like having a big muscly guy as a body guard. Do with that information as you will.

Your useful as a tank- providing a type of wall to protect offensive based stands and provide an opening. You’d make a good pair with plenty of people, but a long distance stand user or someone with weak defense would be ideal.

Your stand’s name is Pink Monday!

I need to draw more digital man : /

Alright alright alright! That was a lot to unpack but have a seat cris-cross-applesauce, kids, because I’m going for it! You have the backstory of a protagonist so I gotta make this good.

Your stand is very powerful in attack, and it’s a little scary to be completely honest. It takes on the form of a cute little slime creature. It’s ability allows it to enter someone through a wound, and once it’s inside, it causes your target’s cells to grow and mutate to suit your desires. It’s sort of like cancer, but you can control how it grows.

Because of your ability to control the growth, you can also use it to heal, although it may be a little sloppy and it’s comparable to plugging up a hole with towels. It’s very versatile in its use so it should come in handy a lot!

Oh, @jojos-headcanons, you sweet child! Have no fear for I shall make you a stand worthy of you!

Your stand’s name is Ground Control!

Basically, whatever your stand hits will stop being affected by gravity. Your stand’s effect wears off once the affected object(s) are out of your range, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn something back to normal. You can even use your stand on yourself, so that’ll be fun! Just remember that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. In fact, because of that principle, you could eject yourself into space if you can manage not to burn up in the atmosphere!

On a side note, a fun person to partner up with would be the user of Major Tom, a stand I made a day or two ago. Mixing your stands together would make for some wacky, or nauseating, fun!

Actually, you’d made a good pair with almost anyone! Its use may not have the most variety, but it will allow you ye be a power duo with almost anyone!
