Bio

Rain pattered dismally against the office’s windows, made liquid brass by the faint glow of the streetlamps below, and streaked against the glass like tears. Once, the words “Jennofski & Jennofski” had been painted in gold across these jalouises… but now there was only an outline, a ghost that had lingered, long past its time, when the acid rain had taken the rest to its grave.
The Octo P.I. could sympathise with that.

But as long as he remained, those names would never be forgotten. Not in this, the office that had been his home, his sanctuary, and his prison.
A perfectly preserved memory, kept sealed within the bell jar of personal tragedy.
OctoP.I. sighed, deeply.
“Of all the octopode's profiles in all the world… you had to read mine.”


Hi all, Jenno here! Or Captain. I'm your resident blues harpist, and part time octopode! (But let's keep that between you and me, eh? Nobody suspects a thing.)
If you want to know anything just drop me a line via DMs and I'll get right back to you!

I was waitin' to reply with both NPCs so the post wasn't anemic, in the mean time I'll get a post for Ashbell up tomorrow.
@Turboshitter everything okay on your end?
You are free to rock, yeah.
Hey @Kaithas, everything okay?

Stand User
Name: Bruno Garcia Hays
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Brief description of appearance: Bruno is a tall, slender figure, 5'11", with narrow shoulders and an overall thin build. His hair is a cobalt blue, and he wears it up in a pompadour (although, to allay concerns, he isn't too defensive about it). His eyes are green, and his skin is lightly tanned, betraying his origins in a hotter climate. He wears a black leather jacket, around the collar of which is a black-and-white checkered pattern, and a pair of black leather gloves, although the one on his left hand seems to be padded, whilst the one on the right is otherwise generic.

Personality summary: Bruno is an Aussie, through and through: hot tempered and fast-mouthed. A reformed teen gangster, Bruno's heart is in the right place, but his execution can sometimes be less so. His playful teasing can seem cruel at times, and his rushing to fix problems with his fists can sometimes make them much, much worse. Still, his loyalty, once earned, is nigh unshakable.

Short biography: Bruno Harrison is an Australian immigrant who was moved forcefully from his hometown of Trenchtown, New South Wales, by his parents, after he'd been involved in a botched museum robbery, orchestrated by The Trenchtown Thugs, a gang of teen anarchists. During this robbery, a collection of valuable antiques went missing: Bruno never saw the benefits of any of them.
Instead, in the commotion preceding his arrest, Bruno panicked and ran into the road, colliding head-on with a police car and losing his left arm due to a complication during the ensuing surgery.
It was un-salvageable, and replaced with an inflexible wooden substitute, all that his family could afford, and such reality motivated Bruno to leave his roguish lifestyle behind. It was well crafted, like the arm of a well made doll, but it was totally inanimate.

Bruno moved to Pleasant Valley with his estranged then-girlfriend Maria Shintaro, expecting to spend the rest of his life as "the one armed man". But upon arriving, Bruno suddenly found himself in the possession of a powerful spirit which allowed him to move his wooden arm as though it were made of flesh and bone again: and when he touched things with it, he could emulate the material. His arm could become stone, metal, any solid material.
He would later learn that this was the birth of his stand, Matter of Fact!

Over the years he's kept it to himself, and wears a glove over his "stand arm" when he isn't using it. Sometime in the last few years, Maria left Bruno, leaving only a note which declared she was running to L.A., after she'd ransacked his room and stolen some of his most valuable possessions.
He recently joined The Boomtown Rats, under the impression that his violent early teens might be put to better use via vigilantism.

Note: Namesakes are "Bruno Renzella" of Australian band Fat Lip, "Jerry Garcia", a finger amputee from the American rock band Grateful Dead, and "Colin Hays", a Scottish musician from the Australian band Men at Work.

Dark Secret: [Zilch]

Stand
Name: Matter of Fact (Duran Duran)
Description of Appearance: N/A: Bruno has never seen Matter of Fact "in person", as it were. He's only ever seen its arm, which remains even when he removes his wooden prosthetic. Said arm is a translucent sea green, and seems almost to let off a pale blue steam whenever it's outside of Bruno's arm. Although not particularly broad or powerful, the arm is fairly well toned and covered in what look to be small Widmanstätten patterns. In the absence of his prosthetic, Bruno wields this, but can no longer absorb other forms of matter.
Power: Matter adoption - When Bruno touches a solid surface with his wooden arm, he can assimilate the materials and change the material his arm consists of, for the duration of the fight. This alters his stats.

Good post! And folks, feel free to move your CS' over to the corresponding tab, sorry it took so long for me to say.
No sweat! I look forwards to it. SwordfishKnight's, too.
<Snipped quote by Pacifista>

It wasn't about it's ability, only it's appearance. Which so far seems to be only an arm. I was hoping that would be inferred by the context (he was thinking about how his Stand's range compared to the others)


Fair enough. Bruno's stand is active whenever he moves his arm so I guess it makes sense they'd at least know that was something to do with it.
So am I good to post or should I wait just a small amount of time longer?


Still waiting on that personality but feel free to rock and roll.
Working on a post, but I noticed something.

Maz makes a mental comment about Bruno's Stand, but in the main OOC post it states the Rats only know the names of each others Stands rather than any abilities. x:


Ah, that's true. I'll put this to the group as a whole - would you prefer everyone was vaguely familiar with one another's stands, since we all are, or that they were all ignorant?
