「Waiting For Blood」- Art by U/No-Lobster7978

Waiting For Blood (named after the song by Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats) is a suit based stand that allows its user to invert the properties of liquids and gases into one another, either by touch or in an area around itself.

What this means is, while not turning one into the other, they take on the properties of their counterparts, for example; Waiting For Blood can touch an oil slick to give it the properties of a gas, making it buoyant and float in the air, allowing it to he used as a oily smokescreen or be thrown and ignited. It can touch an enemies open wound to give their blood the property of a gas, making it seep upwards from their wound and potentially inducing rapid blood loss.

It most commonly uses its ability to invert the air around itself to have the properties of a liquid, making enemies in the area move with more effort caused by the drag, breathing becomes a labour as the air becomes thicker, jumping becomes difficult to impossible etc. While Waiting For Blood amplifies its user's own swimming abilities.

Thanks again to u/No-Lobster7978 for the art

As usual, you give me a name, be it song, album or band/artist and I give you a stand.

A few rules and stipulations:

- No meme songs or soundtrack songs

- These are all rough ideas, while I try to make them fairly balanced, a lot of 'balance' in JoJo's proper comes from the circumstances surrounding a fight

- I dont write stand stats

- Make sure if the name could be any number of things you clarify what it is (I.e dont just write Thriller, write Thriller by Michael Jackson for example)

The once technicolour mural of the summer of love lay now scratched, peeling, each pastel paint sun bleached a sickly pale white and each blue fading into night as it washes the long dead camper van in streaks of sickly, oily black. A hillside, once scenic perhaps, now desolate, two lovers holding hands as they lie against the mud flung grass as in the sky shines a smiling sun, beaming all those summers ago, his shine now washed away.

They found it hidden outside the house, it looked like someone covered it with half the forest, though looking at the state of it its just as likely the forest grew around it. If it ran it ran on a prayer, though it's tyres were clean, or, well, clean-er.

Taking one shaking hand to the panel door they throw it open, exhuming what smells like a thousand years of dust, dirt and who knows what else as from within springs forth roots and vines, a veritable bramble patch that lights up the dim summer night with red as apples by the bushle tumble out as begins a rainbow cascade. Oranges, grapes, red and green, lemons, and in the midst of this cornucopia a hand.

It's practically bone, its emaciated digits covered taught in pale skin made almost black as the moonlight makes shadows out of each manifold wrinkle. But its not just a hand. Following the decrepit limb further and further, past the faded sun dress, past the now ring of pearls, to a face, no, a skull, who's rictis grin croons through a throat made dust with age, weakly, "is that you sunshine...?"

"Aw Ma, you didn't tell me we were having folks round for dinner"

Poison Apple is the Stand of Paco Kittel, youngest of the Kittel family, a heart throb who makes the girls and boys hearts throb, using his roguish good looks and charm to lure unsuspecting hitchhikers back to the farm to feed to Ma Kittel.

Poison Apple is, in a sense, two stands.

To first explain Poison Apple we must explain Ma Kittel. Ma is matriarch of the Kittel family, and is also 113 years old. Her stand, the name of which is lost, produces a veritable garden of Eden via energy redistribution, harvesting bio-matter in any form to grow in its place fruit and vegetables, the likes of which given unnatural life as well as enhanced speed and strenght. In her advanced age Ma has fused with the VW camper van she once drove, sustained, if barely, by her stand and needing a supply of fresh bio-matter to sate her constantly growing hunger. This is where Paco comes in.

Poison Apple is a humanoid stand that appears worm like, its skin being ringed and pale pink, it's neck obscene in its twisting lenght, ending with a gaping, leech like maw. It has no legs, rather it hovers, its upper body snaking and crawling around a hovering green apple from which it resides.

Poison Apple's ability allows it to connect two items or organisms together, creating a symbiotic link between the two, one being deemed the 'mother' object and the other being the 'son'. The further the 'son' object gets from the 'mother'object the more it will begin to deteriorate, with enough distance resulting in complete destruction of the son, dependant on the object. For example, if two apples were connected it may take as little as a foot or two to destroy the son, but if it were an entire skyscraper as the son as a penny as the mother it may take a continent.

Paco uses this on victims, designatinf them the Son and himself the mother as, inevitably, they run screaming for their lives and perish in the process.

Stand stats:

Power: B

Speed: D

Range: A

Durability: C

Precision: B

Potential: A

Thanks for reading folks! This is the first in a series of characters I'm writing mainly for fun. I've take part in a few RP servers and being obsessed with horror I've always wanted to write an enemy team fo stand users who all revolve around horror, so my next characters will either be members of the Kittel family or other horror based stand users. Any critique as always is much appreciated.

Movies like Uncle Acid master list

What with there only being so many albums I thought I'd create a master list of films that scratch that Uncle Acid itch. This is mainly films that have direct influence or parallels in their work or are within the same genre and fit the aesthetic. Feel free to comment any reccomendations and I'll try to continually update the list.

Psychomania - 1970's bikersploitation movie about a biker leader with a family of Satanists who gain immortality through suicide. Great 70's soundtrack (love that pipe organ), not really a horror as its billed but it has a great sense of black humour

Witchfinder General - Vincent Price as the titular and historic Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, honestly you could put this on and play Bloodlust in the background and have a pretty good time, very much informed that album story wise

Don't Torture A Duckling - For my money the best Giallo film and while it didn't really inform much of Nell Ora Blu I still think its worth watching for its own merits

Blood and Black Lace - One of the most famous giallos about a string of murders in a fashion house. Features a great jazzy score that you definitely see bits and pieces of in tracks like Il gatto morto

*Last House on the Left* - An exceptionally bleak video nasty from director Wes Craven of Nightmare on Elm Street fame, it doesn't really reflect any particular album but the aesthetic of it, with its sleazy 70's exploitation vibe, is definitely a vibe if you're looking for something Uncle Acid-esque, that being said its not for the faint of heart

Mark of the Devil* - Another movie about Witchdinder Generals, most notable for the Bloodlust album being a direct copy of this movie's poster

The works of Dario Argento - While not one film stands out his contributions to Giallo as a genre can't be measured, so see; Deep Red, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Phenomena, Tenebrae and of course Suspiria, which I list more for the influence of Goblin's soundtrack to Uncle Acid more than anything

As per usual, you give me a name, be it song, album, artist etc. And I'll give you a stand

Just a few rules and stipulations:

- No meme songs or soundtrack songs

- Please clarify the source of your namesake i.e if its a song or album say the artist, if its an artist who's name sounds like a song stipulate that its an artist

- These are all rough ideas and aren't balanced for a conventional narrative at all, thats on you, if you want me to make a stronger or weaker stand you're welcome to ask for either

- I don't write stand stats

Black Motorcade is the Stand of Pusher Man. Pusher Man was a drug dealer and speed freak in 1970's London who, after a car chase with the police, crashed his black sedan and awakened to Black Motorcade.

Black Motorcade gives Pusher Man 'car-physiology' meaning he has anatomical functions similar to that of a car that manifest in a number of ways. He can turn his eyes into headlamps to illuminate areas or blind enemies, he can open up his chest like a trunk to store or remove objects and can spew carbon monoxide from his mouth to create a hazardous area around him or perform a kiss of death, filling his enemies lungs with it.

What Pusher Man learns however, as his body twists and morphs, grows cold and wounds refuse to heal, is that he isn't Pusher Man. Pusher Man died in that car crash and he is Black Motorcade, the post mortem stand of his now rotting master.

As Black Motorcade pushes past the body horror and existential dread of his new body the limits of what he once thought would kill him are gone as he pushes his power.

Though he isn't Pusher Man he's kept some of his lesser qualities. His old body having rotten away he's acquired a suit made of synthetic skin he uses to blend in, uncanny though he may appear.

Pusher Man and now Black Motorcade were obsessed with speed, the desire to break all limits and go faster and so Black Motorcade has put down the needles and joints for harder stuff, carrying around with him a tank of nitrous oxide he huffs to overload his speed.

Localised name: Black Sedan

Many thanks to u/No-Lobster7978 who was insanely generous enough to draw Black Motorcade up for me

Back to basics this time around. You give me a name, be it song, album, artist etc. And I'll give you a stand

A few little rules this time around:

- If its a song please list the artist

- No meme songs or soundtrack songs

- Feel free to request specific types of stands (colony, physical, bound, suit etc.) But I dont write stats and these are all created in a vacuum, if they sound OP it's probably because they are and in JoJo's proper the circumstances surrounding a stand fight dictate how strong they are

We're doing the reverse this time. Got a stand but you just don't know what to name it? Give me a stand and I'll give it a name.

Let me know in the reply if you need a name for your users as well

Back to basics, no limits on genre, you give me a name be it song, album, artist etc. And I'll give you a Stand.

I will say, if there was a limit, I'd ask less meme songs.

Edit: Can people please start adding a descriptor to the stand name please, every now and then I might take lyrical and thematic inspiration from whatever the stand is named after and I can't do that if I have no idea what the stand name is specifically supposed to be
