Ability:

Restriction removal: 「Haegeum」's main power is to remove the concept of restriction(both physical and non-physical). This has a wide range of applications, from breaking locks and unlocking safes to hacking and bending the laws of physics. However, the stand's most powerful application is reality rewrite, as it is fictional and hence "restricted" by the 4th wall. It can break the spacetime continuum and travel through time as well as instantly teleport...

Weakness: However, the user must be fully convinced that the restriction cannot be bypassed in any way. As such, as long as one can play an insane troll logic chain onto the user, the stand will cease to do this power. For example, if 「Haegeum」is transported to the Back To The Future timeline, it cannot time travel as the means to do so has explicitly been proven, and hence it is not "restricted" against travelling time, but merely does not have the means. Hence, the stand is inversely powerful to the story, where the more powerful a verse is, the weaker it becomes.

User lore: Ambrose is a small-time crook, forced into a lifetime of petty crime due to homelessness and lack of opportunities. Initially an illiterate, oblivious burglar who broke into the group's house, he got cut by a ship fragment attached to 9.75's bracelet, thinking it was silver. After being chased out by N, he begins to learn how to take control of his powers. His initial narrow-mindedness and lack of knowledge about the world caused him to only use his stand for small crime like pickpocketing and lock-picking. However, over the course of the story, he begins to discover the full potential of removing restriction. Slowly, the walls of reality begins to waver, and he discovers the "4th wall" of reality. His whole world, his experiences, his life, was merely a bunch of social media posts, poorly drawn doodles and short stories. Every bad event in his life, all his suffering and pain, willed into existence by a being seemingly infinitely more powerful than him for its entertainment. Driven mad by the revelation, he becomes the main antagonist when he tears apart the fabric of reality and attempts to become a living god and rewrite his life. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to break the 4th wall (there were other 4th wall breakers so it wasn't a restriction). Most of the main character group was easily defeated except 9.75, who upon realising the potential of his elongation power, manages to defeat Ambrose by elongating reality, forcing Ambrose into a draw. Ambrose and 9.75 debate about their existence as fictional characters and their free will (if they had it at all). Eventually, Ambrose finds meaning to his life, reforms the multiverses he broke and sends his stand into dormancy (breaking the restriction that once a stand is awakened it can never be removed).

Or, at least that's what seemed to happen...

Ambrose, seemingly without his stand, was arrested by the One World Agency not long after the confrontation and kept in a maximum security prison for dangerous superhumans and monsters. Observations noticed he was still able to see stands despite seemingly losing his own, suggesting his stand's dormancy was not as effective as it seems. During the attack on Earth by the First Stand User, the One World Agency used the powers of another hero(non-stand user) Groundhog to reawaken his stand at max potential, when he was capable of being a living god again. However, the army of the First Stand User attacked before the process was complete. The sudden reawakening of his stand combined with many powerful beings around changed his stand, awakening a new form:

「Haegeum: Life Goes On」

Abilities:

Restriction removal: 「Haegeum: Life Goes On」retains its previous form's powers, but cannot time trave, teleport. It retains some extent of reality manipulation(as shown in the next ability), but is severely nerfed.

Future merge: 「Haegeum: Life Goes On」can take an item from a possible near(maximum 30min) future and bring it to the present. This will force the probability of that future occurring to increase. Applications of this ability include bringing the corpse of an opponent to increase the chances of an opponent dying in the encounter, or bringing a ringing safety alarm to increase the chances of a security event occurring. This cannot be used on still living beings.

Weaknesses: 「Haegeum: Life Goes On」is now solar powered due to a solar panel collapsing onto 「Haegeum」during the reawakening. Without sunlight, Ambrose needs to constantly feed power sources like fuel or strong winds to keep his stand going. He attempts to mitigate this by duct taping a handheld fan onto 「Haegeum: Life Goes On」's neck, but it doesn't provide sufficient power for conceptual removal, only physical restriction removal.

User appearance: Oversized puffy jacket with multiple locks on the sleeves and chest area, as well as one on the zipper. Dirty, torn denim jeans. Floral bandana with the edges burnt. User is male of Mediterranean descent, in his mid-30s. Average height, tanned, scruffy beard.

Attempt at making a villain monologue:

"I'm just tired of all these 🔒restrictions🔒. They say it's a free world, but we are all still 🪢bound🪢 by 📜laws📜, both physical and invisible. Time. Money. Space. Security. All of these are basic concepts keeping society running. Freedom, however, is non-existent. For freedom is contradictory. Oh, to be flying and yet stay on the ground. If that's what one wants, one will never. For the concept of *flight* is *restricted* by the concept of *earth*. I wish to be free of all of this. And may you be at the tip of my mercy"
