@Ampharosboy That is absolutely fine, just let me know when you do it.
@GamerXZ 2001, I forgot to revise that. Thank you for your interest.

Alright, I thought that it might be better to revise it into an ACT stand considering the road I'm going down. Had to change the name and stuff for references' sake, too. But here she is, new and improved(?)

@AmpharosBoy Looks like a good modification. I will note quickly that Stand users with ACT Stands don't generally seem to be aware that their Stand has the potential to massively evolve; I'm not sure whether you were intending Chino to be aware of that or not, since the sheet is written in first person and all. To wit, though, Chino herself is a cool character, and clearly has lots of potential for growth. Good job.

@BCTheEntity
I'd consider her explanation of her Stand to be non-canon to the IC. It's just there to fit in with the rest of the CS, really. She doesn't have any knowledge IC of the fact her Stand can evolve in any form, either. :P

Thank you, though! I appreciate the positive feedback!

On another note, what's everyones opinions of each others stands so far?


Nightwish was good, nothing too strange or interesting, maybe a little on the edgy side with its appearance and theme given the only somewhat thuggish side of its owner.

Hollywood Knight is neat, though not what I would expect for Sia beyond its name, and its ability to alter properties seems very open-ended.

For the simplicity of its ability and the artsy, romantic, fairly harmless nature of it user, Unshaken is very menacing-looking. Does its ability to just absorb any energy (including kinetic) mean that it can stop attacks from working, I wonder? Does it have a range of effect or a condition? I feel like it could be played extremely powerfully.

For Nowhere Man, it's interesting and I like it, but if the rod isn't necessary to use the ability and doesn't deal damage, I struggle to see the point of including that as part of the power. If it's that the rod counts as a part of Ciaran that lets him banish someone, why go the extra step and not just touch the person? Unless the rod's big enough that the extra range is important.

Ten Thousand Fists is the weirdest stand here so far in terms of appearance, and its power is simple but clever. 'Glimmer' strikes me as a somewhat odd battle cry, but hey, whatever works.

Pitch Perfect I think suits the user better, with weaponizing sound for both mobility and offense striking me as a pretty quintessential stand ability.

I was kind of struggling with ideas for Stand powers. I came across a spell in DND called "Absorb Elements" or something to that effect. And for clarification, while Unshaken does absorb damage, it can still take damage. Think of it as a battery, it can only hold onto so much energy

Yeah, I realized she was nowhere in that territory to be having a Stand like that. Sure, she can be aggressive; But she's not that much of a fighter. It really didn't mesh well, but it took me a little time to reflect and decide on change.

I'm glad Pitch Perfect is being considered a general improvement, though. Makes me a lot more confident going forward. ^^

I like Phil's personality a lot. He's got the positives everyone loves to gloat about going on, but there's depth in here beside that. In a lot of characters you'd probably only see that half of the story being presented as the full character: I'm glad to see that there's some personal stuff behind all the good actions he takes.

@AmpharosBoy I'm glad I managed to convey his personality well. People aren't perfect, of course, and I fully expect his personal issues to eventually clash with the other PCs in some way.

Ciaran can still be damaged during this process by the other stand user and since he can't defend himself with his stand, this leaves him opened to being attacked. If he lets go, the process stops and now he's at a significant disadvantage against the other user. The rods were never meant to be used for damage, as the main utility lies in being able to safely teleport someone to Nowhere Land without the risk of being damaged, though the hard portion comes when you need to get in and get out.

Basically, he needs to be touching the other person in one way or another to activate his ability and must maintain contact until the transportation process is completed.

When Malcolm was born, his family celebrated his birth as if he were the legitimate son of Jesus Christ


I died laughing when I read this.

...Until I read on and realized it was actually an interesting story. Boy had it rough; It was an enjoyable read but damn I feel bad for him now. Give that boy a hug.

The Stand is also interesting: Definitely a concept I wouldn't of ever considered. It's understandable, but has a lot going for it as well. I'm excited to see how you end up using it later on.

Thanks for the kind words about HK everyone, though I will say in regards to Lu's comment about not being expected, I was on several layers of irony when I wrote it and was hoping it would serve as a metaphor for 'change' in general. On that note, I'm working on HK's appearance as I couldn't really find any art I liked...



As for my opinions about everyone's sheets so far, if you'd care to hear them...

@Yankee

Art looks solid, dude.

Appreciate the kind words, also. Also always appreciate finding another fan of Nightwish. :p

To be entirely honest, I have not worked out the abilities of future ACTs just yet. It will probably be sent to Kiero at some point to make sure it's all good, then be added to the CS after stuff happens IC. A little surprise (With the GM's watchful eye) can't be a bad thing, yeah?

@XoXKieroBombXoX Mind if I put some modifications to Unshaken? Just to make him less bland
