Name: Clifford "Cliff" Nobles
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance: Look familiar?
Canon, AU, or OC?: AU
Universe of Origin: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part VII: Steel Ball Run
Theme song: The Horse by Cliff Nobles & Co.
Personality: Cliff is not particularly noble. An arrogant, immoral braggart, he's also an unrepentant coward who will readily flee at the first sign of trouble and prefers to have a "number 2" position in groups and organizations in order to avoid having to deal with the responsibilities that come with leadership. Tremendously greedy, about the only thing he respects is power which he can readily see is superior to his own. Despite all this, Cliff isn't all bad. He's a rather jovial companion who has no problems socializing and getting along with others, isn't a big fan of betraying his partners and has a good deal of respect towards women.
Abilities/Weapons:
-Full Force (stand): A stand bound to an engraved
Remington Model 1858 revolver, more precisely a 5-shot metallic cartridge version produced in 1868, making it visible to everyone at all times. It can be made to appear and disappear at will, has infinite ammunition, no need to reload, absolutely no recoil and grants the user total control over shots and the increased perception and reaction times needed to mentally guide bullets through fine-tuned motions like avoiding a stand's swordplay at close range.
Cliff can have the gun appear and act on its own as long as he's within 165 feet of it and its bullets are effective beyond that distance. Full Force is tremendously durable as well, perhaps indestructible, which allows Cliff to use it as a makeshift melee weapon if need be. Being a stand, it can harm things otherwise immune to bullets. Despite having the size of a real revolver, its shots are quite deadly, powerful enough that Cliff can rely on it despite facing up to things such as cybertronians, magical superbeings and the like.
-JoJo Constitution: Let's face it, it's incredibly hard to make damage stick to people in the JoJoverse. Even against those that should not, by all rights, be that durable. It's not that Cliff is impossible to hurt and whatnot, but he's really hard to incapacitate, can keep on ticking after taking damage and losing amounts of blood that should leave him an unconscious heap in the ground and will make full recoveries from horrific injuries, even out and out maiming, with a bare minimum of treatment. As in, yes, he'll recover lost digits or limbs with a bare minimum of treatment if he doesn't die.
Backstory:
An only son whose mother passed away soon after he was born, Clifford Nobles grew up idolizing his father, Walter Berry Nobles. At different times in his life a constable, city policeman, county sheriff, teamster, buffalo hunter, bouncer, saloon-keeper, gambler, brothel owner, pimp, miner, and boxing referee, the Nobles elder led a hectic life, rarely settling down in one place for long and dragging his son along with him everywhere he went. Though it was a hard life and he received an education a mother wouldn't approve of, Cliff didn't mind. His father was good to him and made sure to involve him in his every venture, teaching him a variety of skills in the process.
Walter Nobles was, first and foremost, a man's man. No matter what he did with his life, he did so as honestly as he could, but if push came to shove he could always rely on his skills with a gun, which was fascinated Cliff the most. As he became older, however, his father's gunslinging skills were the only thing Cliff still respected about his father. He came to realize that it was his insistence with remaining "honest and straightforward" that needlessly complicated their lives and began to lust for money in order to live a life of leisure. When his father was killed, shot in the back by a man he hadn't killed during a duel, it cemented Clifford's worldview and personality.
The only memento he kept of his father was the last weapon he wielded, an older model revolver that was nonetheless quite well kept and effective. For Cliff, the weapon symbolized the only positive aspect of his progenitor, the only thing he wanted to remember about him: his ability to overpower others and get his way. It became Cliff's treasure, the only link left to the man he had once idolized and the feelings his father used to evoke in him. It was the incredibly strong emotions attached to the weapon that gave birth to the stand Full Force after Cliff lost the weapon in an area near a Devil's Palm and spent three days looking for it through the sand.
So armed, Cliff Nobles became a gunman of great renown, and he eventually came to join the Steel Ball Run race seeking to win its exorbitant prize money and live a life of leisure and luxury. Unfortunately for him, his riding skills were just not up to par and he was rapidly eliminated before he managed to make any kind of impact or even get to use his dangerous stand somewhere the cameras wouldn't see. His luck seemed to change, however, when he was hired by none other by the President of the United States and promised 50 million dollars for taking out two competitors, Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli, and recovering two mysterious items from them.
Of course, Cliff was unable to bring down the tenacious pair and was eventually put on full retreat before his life was put in any serious risk. Though he was given treatment for his injuries, the President decided that Cliff's skills were no longer needed and used his mysterious powers to make him vanish from the world, never to be seen or heard from again. Popping up in the middle of a world similar yet different to his own, Clifford might have been doomed to the strange eradication from reality that seemed to befall everyone displaced by the President, until he was found by a Shadow Eternity agent. It didn't take much convincing for him to join.
And that is how Hol Horse’s Steel Ball Run counterpart came to travel the multiverses. He looks exactly alike the actual Hol Horse because come on, he fits an Araki’d western world just fine.
