I think I have the facial design of my JoJo Part 5 thief gang OCs down. Now, with exception of Il Gatto, I only have to brainstorm on their body designs, clothes and colour schemes.
Did a few changes here and there, especially on their Stand powers. And I think I have their abilities a little more solid too.
Let's start with the twins, Mari and Per. Their names are from the duo in the pop rock band Roxette. I deliberately didn't give them any last names. Both have shapeshifting powers that they could not use on themselves. Mari's Joyride has the ability to change humans into animals, whole or partial, while Per's The Look has the ability to change people's appearance into one victim/target and sort of mindhive control them to imitate the original. Both Stands are used for a mass misdirection. Both Stand names are from songs by Roxette.
Then we have the Libero brothers. They are originally siblings of four but two are dead (there's a story behind that which I am yet to talk about...perhaps another time).
Uccelo Libero, the depressed-looking discount Mista whose Italian name I may have butchered, is the youngest of the siblings. His obscure Stand Stockholm Syndrome has the ability to manipulate the environment of the closed containment he is in. Meaning, if he is in a closed room, his Stand can change the environment of the room into any other place he wished. The top of a snowy mountain? The deep sea? The crater of a volcano? His imagination is the only limit. And whoever caught in the room will feel the effects of the change. So if the environment changes to underwater, people in the room can drown. Uccelo will feel the effects too but as the user, he can comprehend the space of original room and where certain objects are, making him a good candidate to distract and steal at the same time. To counter Stockholm Syndrome, one just have to open the door/window of the room.
Similarly, Mondo's Plug In Baby also manipulates the environment but more towards time. He can rewind his surroundings back to certain historical timeline from a second ago to decades back within a radius of 10m around him. His Stand is used mainly for observation and intel. Unlike Uccelo, he cannot interact with the changed environment. Both of these brothers' Stands are derived from Muse's songs.
(their two dead siblings also had Stands with inspiration to Muse, Panic Station and Space Dementia, but I am yet to expand on them...)
Last, but not least, Rosaline von Stroheim. Not a direct descendant of our beloved loud German soldier, but she's extended family, I suppose. Her Stand Feuer Frei has the ability to accelerate the speed of the objects it touches up to Mach 3 - more or less the speed of high power bullets and cannons. The object can be anything, from stones to everyday items to small animals. The objects won't be harmed or destroyed, but the impact is still the same as being shot at. Rosaline is mainly a backup offense in case a heist didn't go as planned. Her Stand's name, for obvious reasons, is a song by Rammstein.
Gah. I did not intend to expand my OCs like this. I only did Coppola Gatto as an enemy to Part 5 Hol Horse but hnngh now I have an extra 5 to think about......
