Ben is in an alien form rn.

@Crimson Flame

Yeah, Bruno has completely mistaken everyone else for Stand Users because he has absolutely no context for anything else, and he just thinks Ben is a Stand outright.

Post up.

Bruno Bucciarati

BGM

The chariot's soul shattered, and the king's roar of fury lapped at his spirit.

I'm leaving the rest up to you, Giorno.

B-Bucciarati... Y-Your body's still back at the Colosseum. That body is-!

Giorno, I was reborn. When I met you back in Naples... When I betrayed the organization... My heart was dying a slow death, but it was reborn... Thanks to you.

This is what true happiness is. This is how it should be. Don't worry.

Please give everyone my regards.

Don't worry about it Giorno.

I'm only going back to where I was supposed to go.

I'm simply returning to how I once was...

The eddies of his fading consciousness delivered a crystalized dream into the hands of the dreamer.

That's all...

Everything faded away.

(/._./)

Cold.

That was the first thing that occurred to him.

The ground was cold and hard. Smooth. Metal.

How... How long had it been since he'd felt? How long since he last... smelled ozone.

The scent of ozone, of fading thunder and static lingered, buzzing across his skin. He could feel it. With this corpse of a body, long since passed on, he could feel again.

"Giorno?" Even his own voice almost sounded foreign in his ears after having gone deaf, as blue eyes cracked open in disbelief... and muted optimism. His wounds... were long since fatal. No, rather, he had already been dead, and it was merely the life force imbued into his corpse that allowed his soul to cling to it for a while longer... to finish what they started. Giorno couldn't have healed him, couldn't have undone what had been done... before Requiem. But if the Arrow was involved, then maybe...

Bruno's blurring vision cleared after a languid blink to the sight of steel and blooming lights cast all around him, wires and cords snaking across nearly every surface. His body was assaulted by pins and needles, as he twitched and lurched almost awkwardly into life, limbs shaking with the effort. The gangster felt almost hyper-aware of the thundering heartbeat in his ears, a thunder that had long been silent, as he grit his teeth at the sight of a green and black figure.

A Stand?

Gasping, Bucciarati flopped onto his stomach, as many other lights continued to intensify and slowly congeal into other figures. Bruno sucked in a shaky breath and restrained a snarl, as he pushed himself to his knees, the feeling in his limbs returning intermittedly, almost painfully. He was trapped in a confined space with an unknown Stand User with unknown intentions. Somehow... Somehow, the transportation had healed him... truly resurrected him even. For that, if this person was responsible... He owed them a debt... if they were.

And even so, there was no telling what purpose he had been abducted for. While he would like to believe the best of his potential savior, intentional or not, gratitude could only go so far... in the face of a mountain of shit. If he had been called forth for the purposes of injustice, he would fight against it to the last breath, even in this brand new body. Despite that resolve, however... Bruno grit his teeth and continued to stay silent, biding his time, as the pins and needles died down at an achingly glacial pace. Realistically, he didn't have the strength to fight if it came down to it. He'd only just been healed, and he could barely sit up as is, never mind move quickly. He could summon his Stand, but it would take an unacceptable toll upon him at this time. The only choice... was to run away.

Glancing around at the other figures appearing, Bruno considering the situation carefully. While he had awoken here, there was no telling for sure if he had been transported like these others or arrived by other means. In fact, there was nothing saying that these new arrivals weren't also allies of the Mysterious Stand. In that case... in the case of hostility... he could only use all of his strength to flee, to open a zipper through the floor and fall in. Hunching onto elbows and knees, half strategically and half in unmitigated exhaustion, Bruno's soul coiled and vibrated beneath his skin, his spectral partner prepared to act at a moment's notice, as he watched... and waited for the confirmation or denial he needed to act.

The second figure to fully form (or perhaps they had been there all along, and his struggling senses had merely missed him), an older teenage boy, made statements of confusion. His grievances were... simple but understandable for a youth, but in this situation-

Bruno startled at the appearance of two rings, rings that brought forth an... almost lackluster transformation, like merely switching the color pallet and slapping a bodysuit on the boy. A moment later, the kid took flight, hands glowing with a baleful energy. Another Stand?! With an ability like flight and whatever that glow was, Bruno was all too thankful to see the boy presented as an apparent ally, even if only for convenience. Given the boy's statements, it was clear he'd been abducted against his will as well. Unfortunately, Bruno couldn't very well let the boy fight alone if things devolved. His body was weak but... not entirely helpless. If it came down to it, he could observe the potential enemy, identify their weaknesses and an opportunity, and expend what little energy he had for a singular blow that would turn the tide.

Before anything could be done in that direction, one way or the other, a third light finished depositing its charge... a very angry old man... who was also a Stand User... if the near-immediate ripple of force that ripped towards the Mysterious Stand was any clue. It was lucky Bruno was so weak, because he might have broken a tooth from how hard he was grinding his teeth, as he struggled to decide upon which side of the aisle he'd place his bets and commit his flagging power behind.

Was everyone who'd been captured a Stand User?!

B O N E S A W

BGM

“Hurry. You have time. You can fix her, can’t you?”

She was tired. So very, very tired... Of saving Mommy... of saving Daddy, of saving Drew, of saving Muffles... Of having her work undone each time and coming back to find even more work than the last. For hours. So many hours. She didn't know how many.

“Come on,” came the whisper. “You can do it. Don’t you love your mommy?”

Mommy's face was more stitches than anything else, and she was so very tired.

"No." She...

"No?"

"I don't love her." She was such a bad girl.

“Alrighty. Say goodbye, then.”

"Goodbye, Mommy."

Mommy responded silently, but she knew what Mommy said.

It took far, far too long for Mommy to die while she watched. And then, eventually... there was no more Mommy, just a machine of flesh and blood that was winding down. Just... meat, no Mommy... because of a bad girl. But Mommy had told her to be good. So, from now on... she’d be polite and cheerful and she’d do her chores and she would mind her manners and she’d eat all of her dinner and she’d keep her hair nice and she wouldn’t swear. She do all that and more, and when she did...

She'd be a very Good Girl.

(/._./)

The all too familiar nightmare faded in a sudden blaze of light, and Riley faded with it.

Appearing in a small freefall from a sleeping position, it was Bonesaw's smart and squeaky-clean black dress shoes that padded down into thick, vibrant grass after an abrupt, midair near 180 of the young girl's spine. The barely perceptible sound of her own muscles creaking, as her torso rotated back into proper alignment, sounded wonderfully ominous in the blonde's enhanced ears, not that she expected the armored lunk before her to hear it, as a cherubic, deceptively pleasant smile crossed her expression, her hands folding demurely over the front of her unstained dress and apron. After all, when possible, she was hardly going to sleep without changing after a hard day's bloody work. She wasn't a savage.

Nor was she anything close to the affable image she presented.

Her hands were folded over her apron only so that she could do inventory on the surgical tools within the front pocket. Needle case, string, bandages, wire, hooks, spare vials, several vials filled with either delightfully unpleasant chemicals or medical concoctions, scalpel set and, of course, her namesake. In the meanwhile, her pings for her spider boxes were receiving no response, which elicited a light pout. It did appear that she was bereft of the majority of her better tools. Someone was going to hurt for that.

In more positive news, her pre-fight inventory of her personal systems had revealed that all her internal gadgets at least seemed present, functional and sufficiently well stocked. Mechanical traps, spring-loaded needles and venom venting systems readied throughout her body, as she double checked her berserker mode and found it untriggered even by the expansive green vision stretching out as far as the eye could see, which meant this was no Master/Stranger effect... for better or worse.

Gosh dippity ding diddly foodily do darn! she whined internally. Jack was going to be maaaaaaad if he found out about this, especially since it was likely all Bonesaw's fault for getting greedy with her craft to begin with. That annoying Lady in the Hat had obviously lied and broken into the Nine's dimension while she was sleeping!

Stupid really. Putting Bonesaw in the middle of nowhere away from the rest of the Nine? That was just begging for blind-fired plagues, some of the real nasty stuff that she'd saved for a rainy day when she was extra bored... and also just as general Mutually Assured Destruction weapons. Sure, a threat was only good if you were willing to use it -and she very much was, but that made things a whole lot less interesting in the long term, years of entertainment eliminated long before she could play with them personally, just to make a stern point to some very, very foolish people with big guns and bigger heads. In all her years, she'd only had to actually exercise that threat once, and for the world, once was more than enough. However, it looked like the lesson hadn't sunk in well enough...

Alternatively...

A thrill of anxiety and muted excitement crawled up her prehensile spine.

Alternatively, the Hat Lady was rather less stupid than she looked. She had claimed they could break into the Nine's dimension now that they knew where it was. That meant they had dimensional tech or powers... There was every possibility that she had simply been removed from the Earth Bet equation entirely and dumped on some empty, boring mudball. In fact, as the other... less than heroic-looking individuals formed around her... that sounded more and more feasible by the second.

Bonesaw debated striking preemptively. Her poison needles could surely do the trick for the majority of these unlucky yahoos, but for most of her other weapons, her venom spray, poison spit, telescoping arms and acid-loaded fingernails, she'd need to get close. Even her poison clouds wouldn't be as much use without getting closer than she'd appeared, and going after whoever she gambled on being the most troublesome would leave her open to potentially far worse. And that aside, even something as simple as a fair wind might rob the poison clouds of their teeth. Oh and -double and, there was that big Tinker in the armor. Even if she got rid of everyone else, that armor could likely trump everything she could conventionally bring to bear as she was... unless he'd skimped on the air filtration systems, but if he hadn't skimped...?

Her beatific smile widened, all sparkly white teeth now.

She'd just have to play it by ear... Play it like Jack.

She'd talk and listen. She'd smile and nod and laugh and giggle and grin and wait and needle and poke and slice and dice until she knew where she was and who these were and who she was going to have to make suffer like none had suffered before and it...

...was going to be so. Much. Fun.

Ben is 16. Bruno is young adult of 20 in rather ostentatious clothing, who is currently struggling to so much as crouch.

@ActRaiserTheReturned

So, Bruno is not in very much of a good way (as in, doesn't look well) in my post. I'm assuming that Merlin will (based on the "at the people he thought were his captors" line) avoid directing that attack at him, given he doesn't even look like he can stand/is with Ben/Danny? (the dude was literally dead moments ago) I want to edit to account for the attack if that's not the case.

Bonesaw, of the Slaughterhouse Nine

---

---

"Swearing is Bad!"

---

---

Name: Riley Grace Davis

Nicknames/Titles: Bonesaw

Age: 13

Gender: Female

Affiliation: Villain/Slaughterhouse Nine (yes, they are basically an entire tier of nutters)

Personality: Childish but largely amoral, Bonesaw lacks any aversion to killing, and even giggled and smiled in excitement when Panacea killed her enslaved creations. As Bonesaw, Jack Slash encouraged her to view her creations as "art" and resist moralistic attempts to limit her.

She can't remember her parents' faces. Following her mother's last instruction to her, Riley is obsessed with being a "good girl". This has led to her adopting a 'cutesy' attitude, speaking in a high voice and adopting overly girlish mannerisms. In particular, she has an aversion to swearing bordering on a obsession. With a verbal tic constantly telling others not to swear. She has an obsession with rebuilding a family; this influences her choices when nominating people for membership in the Slaughterhouse Nine.

She is just as liable to laugh and joke with someone one moment as to carve them up the second.

Biography: Riley triggered in 2005, at the age of six, when she was forced to repeatedly provide medical care for her family by the Slaughterhouse Nine, injuring them over and over so she would have to heal them again, over the course of several hours, if not longer. Eventually, her body was simply unable to keep up, and the young girl broke even harder at being forced to let her mother die, forming an obsession with the woman's last words to be a "Good Girl"... a term and goal that would be twisted in the years to come.

Riley was recruited by the Slaughterhouse Nine and developed a powerful case of Stockholm syndrome towards them, treating the group of mass murderers as a family and seeking to assign appropriate roles to each member mentally, roles she would seek to fill whenever members were killed. Her sense of morality was thoroughly twisted and defiled over the next 6 years, and the girl's twisted usage of her powers and ability to be a force multiplier served to make her the most infamous and feared member of the Nine, known for creating "living" abominations and leaving all manner of "art" in the wake of the Nine's rampages. Her dead-man switch plague threat also served to prevent the Nine from ever being seriously hunted down.

It was in 2011 that the Nine would suffer their greatest defeat thus-far at the hands of a city of united heroes and villains alike. The Nine suffered enough casualties that Bonesaw was one of only three to survive, along with the long-time leader, Jack Slash, and their second most feared member, the unstoppable Siberian. Going into hiding, the Nine took over a small pocket dimension of a world, slaughtering the former owners, known as Toybox. There, they planned to make their greatest comeback with Bonesaw as the star of the show, using stolen clone technology to resurrect multiple copies of every past member of the Nine, creating an army of clones to be known as the Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand.

Or, at least, that was the plan.

Halfway through, without warning, 13 year-old Bonesaw has found herself abducted to a strange time and place, far from Jack and the rest of the Nine. Maybe she can find a way home, but as far as she knows, she's the only one left of the Nine... and now the leader. With a fresh start and surrounded by unsuspecting heroes and villains alike with riveting powers and technology from fascinatingly alien sources...

It's time to rebuild the Family.

Powers/Skills:

• Chirurgeon Shard: An extradimensional super-computer of an eldritch being connected to the host by interdimensional and typically otherwise harmless tumors in the brain. It is a mere shard of a mighty whole that bestows powers upon mortals at the lowest point in their lives, the moment they mentally break... usually exacerbating whatever issues they gain in the moment or obtained in getting there. The Chirurgeon Shard specializes in matters pertaining to biology and the shaping thereof, and it has chosen to express its powers through Bonesaw in the form of a mastery of unparalleled capacity in biological, anatomical, and physiological sciences.
  The Shard, as any member of its kind, is concerned with one thing, and one thing only: [DATA] and the pursuance of the goal of defeating Entropy. They want those they give their powers to experiment with and use them prolifically to collect said data, and they exert subtle mental influence to ensure that they do with not even the slightest regard for morality.
• General Scientific Accomplishments/Capabilities: Riley is a powerful biological Tinker, whose abilities make her an unparalleled expert in biological, anatomical, and physiological sciences. She is capable of creating bio-mechanical constructs with their own powers, usually supers she has captured and modified into "zombies", and a variable load out of biochemical vials. Given preparation, she was capable of creating custom diseases capable of sweeping an entire city in minutes. As well as poisons tailor made to kill people in the slowest most excruciating way possible.
  
  She has several cybernetic enhancements, including a prehensile spine and extendable arms to stab others with. She has been bisected and beheaded and managed to survive both and rebuild herself. She has the ability to deploy poisons from vents in her body, and one trick she frequently employed was a type of white smoke that automatically killed bacteria in her radius. Useful against diseases Bonesaw does not have a cure to and effective against most insects. She also had poison darts and acid loaded in her fingernails, along with poisonous spit. Her effective manual control of nearly every aspect of her body allows her to dislocate her joints and otherwise bend them in unnatural ways.
  
  She has a wide variety of safeguards. Bonesaw modified herself and the rest of the Nine; sheathing their vital organs and major arteries in a protective sub dermal mesh, further wire reinforcement was put into the skeleton to avoid broken bones, with special attention paid to the organs and spine to keep them functioning. She also rendered her teammates resistant to her pathogens, and granting them artificial neurons which allowed them to make plans an emotion sensor/manipulator could not see, along with making them immune to said manipulation. Bonesaw has an internal switch that can -and most often does- turn off her sense of pain, and she has a variety of inbuilt mental checks to defend against mental influence, including a "berserker mode" that sends her on a cold, calculated rampage till the influence is eliminated. As a final defense, Bonesaw possesses personal dead-man switches; her death would result in virulent apocalyptic plagues being released from her body, plagues she can manually release through her normal venting systems.
  
  She has the ability to construct wetware computers that can record interdimensional events in a brain. She can also make wetware "golems" shaped however she wishes, typically making metal spider drones that used stolen brains for a computer.
  
  An expert in neuroanatomy, she enslaved and modified supers. She had a limited ability to raise the dead, which she used to produce her "zombies". Her understanding of the Corona Pollentia was unparalleled; allowing her to alter a parahuman's abilities to a limited degree, which she used to remove their control over their power and allow their powers to work together with other supers she had spliced to their body. Her crowning achievement in this regard was using stolen cloning technology to create The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand, using materials from Toybox. In this same vein, she is capable of surgically de-aging someone -or halting the ageing process biologically- and has done so to herself.
  
  This is not the limit to what she can do, as Tinkers are constantly adapting, evolving and developing brand new technology. With a specialization as terrifyingly broad as hers, Bonesaw is a force to be reckoned with and is only underestimated by the ignorant or very, very stupid.
• Acquired/Repurposed Tech Knowledge:
  Biome/life sheltering (worked with Mannequin as a teammate for several years)
  Cloning (enslaved Blasto for a year and stole his tech)
  Memory/Brain (killed Cranial and stole tech in Toybox slaughter)
  Pocket Dimensions (killed Dodge and stole tech in Toybox slaughter)
  Cryogenics/Stasis (killed Glace and stole tech in Toybox slaughter)
  Powersuits (killed Toy Soldier and stole tech in Toybox slaughter)
  Buildings/Bases (killed Big Rig and stole tech in Toybox slaughter)
  Glass Working/Transmutation (killed Bauble and stole tech in Toybox slaughter)
  Flame manipulation/Special effects/Guns (killed Pyrotechnical and stole tech in Toybox slaughter)
• Acquired/Repurposed Technology:
  Crawler-Brand Acid Capsules: Fingers (10); Toes (8); Storage (0). (extremely volatile self-replicating acid, loaded with a wide variety of digestive enzymes; typically launched by needles at short range) (Possible Improvements?: add blasting caps for shotgun spray acid?)

Other: My favorite power is without question stopping/controlling time. Never gets less freaking awesome to me.

So, it occurred to me that Jason is kind of in a bad spot power wise...

Then I realized what could fix that.

Ladies and Gents, I present to you, Riley Grace Davis... otherwise known as Bonesaw of the Slaughterhouse Nine.
This adorable little psychopath will be the perfect force multiplier for our squishy villains, an excellent deterrent from seeing them obliterated on the first encounter, and the most enthusiastic and supporting little psycho of a daughteru/lil' sister for Jason specifically, because our serial killer needs a chance to shine in all the worst best ways possible.

Bruno Bucciarati

---

---

"To complete my mission and protect my men. Having to do both at once is what makes being a capo so tough. Are you ready for this? I know I am."

---

---

Name: Bruno Bucciarati

Nicknames/Titles: Passione Capo, Team Mom (from the fanbase)

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Anti-Hero/Hero.

Personality: Bucciarati's most important character traits are his righteousness and his natural kindness, and he is dedicated to taking the most honorable course of action, even if he puts his life at risk. Bucciarati is loyal to those he considers to be under his protection, being considerate with them, accepting their requests for help, and is generally nice to the people he meets.

Bucciarati respects and upholds several values such as having resolve, selflessness, and family loyalty. He believes that resolve involves risking one's own life for a just cause, a standard he constantly holds up to by putting himself in danger and betting on the enemy's lesser resolve to prevail, until his climactic self-sacrifice against Diavolo. He also readily admires this same resolve whenever it shows up in an opponent. Bucciarati believes in individual freedoms, and that people are free to die however they wish.

However, Bucciarati also particularly despises the drug trade, which caused his father's death and hurts the population on a large scale, especially children, thus any mention of it unnerves him. He doesn't hold the gangster life in high regard, and he also looks down on spiteful violence.

In contrast to his righteousness, Bucciarati has a violent and ruthless side. At the age of twelve, Bruno murdered his father's would-be aggressors in cold blood, and as a gangster, kept his tendency toward violence. Having worked for a gang for years, he is an experienced fighter, being able to discern whenever killing intent is genuine, is unfazed by empty threats, and is able to keep calm even during a desperate looking fight. Likewise, Bucciarati will often use lethal force against his enemies as demonstrated when he had some be run over by a train and dismembered, as well as deafened another with a popped car tire.

During a fight, Bucciarati is both brave and cautious. While he is ready to sacrifice himself in order to win, he will try tactical retreats and sneak attacks regularly; even when pitted against a weaker opponent, Bruno takes precautions. Nonetheless, when push comes to shove, he will recklessly risk his life if it enables him to win following his philosophy of resolve.

Biography: Growing up in an Italy threatened by the predations of a super-powered mob of gangsters called Passione, Bruno learned of the harshness of the world when his father was hospitalized for witnessing a drug trade. When two gangsters went to the hospital to finish the job, 12 year old Bruno killed both of them and afterwards joined Passione, knowing it was the only organization powerful enough to protect his father from retaliation. Bruno rose in the ranks and made a name for himself, only for his father's heart surgery to be sabotaged to lethal effect by the gang in a effort to sever his remaining outside ties. With his trust betrayed, it was around this time that he discovered the gang's secret drug trade and became infuriated, unable to do anything for the time being.

Putting together a personal team of trustworthy Stand Users, Bruno continued to rise in the ranks and made himself the most trusted subordinate of the local Capo while simultaneously turning the gang territory he managed into something of a safe haven compared to the others. After meeting and recruiting Giorno Giovanna and being convinced of the young man's plan to take over the gang and destroy the drug trade, Bruno helped him assassinate the local Capo, taking the position for himself. Giorno's plans were bigger than their little slice of Italy, however, and so he eventually helped convince the rest of his personal team to join them in betraying and defeating the leader of all Passione, a mysterious figure known only as "The Boss".

After an arduous and violent journey, filled with twists and turns and bloody duels with enemy gangsters -both loyalists and fellow traitors alike, Bruno's team eventually succeeded in killing the Boss and installing a new righteous order to the gang underworld, led by the man who'd given them the courage to move forward with that dream in the first place, Giorno. Unfortunately, the tight-knit team suffered several tragic casualties along the way, one of whom was Bruno himself, sacrificing himself at the final stretch and never seeing their better world become reality.

Powers/Skills:

• Lie Detection: Bruno can apparently identify a liar by the taste of someone's sweat, claiming it tastes sweeter than normal. It's unclear if this ability is a full-on power or merely sheer skill and him reading the target's body language when he does this. He also claims to be able to tell when someone is lying just by looking at them, claiming he can see when their skin glistens due to sweat.
• Inhuman Pain Tolerance/Willpower: Bucciarati has demonstrated the ability to consistently continue fighting even while suffering the most grievous wounds possible, able to continue to move even after being impaled twice with a large fist, along with having his heart partially severed in the same fight. After being only partially successfully healed, the man literally spends half his series afterwards as a slowly deteriorating corpse who continues to live by sheer willpower before finally sacrificing himself one last time in the final battle.
• Intellect: Bruno is a tactical and quick-witted individual, capable of using the highly versatile power of Sticky Fingers to manipulate the environment to his advantage, restrain his enemies, swiftly evade incoming attacks, and attack from blind spots. His natural selflessness means that survival is not among his priorities, thus his actions will easily surprise his opponents. Bucciarati is also a perceptive fighter, having been able to quickly deduce the weaknesses of King Crimson despite being fatally injured and proceed to take advantage of them. He is able to analyze his opponents' fighting styles and perceive their strengths and weaknesses.
• Athleticism: Those muscles aren't just for show. Bruno is a highly athletic and agile individual, far more so than one might expect.
• Empathic Communication/Soul Reading: During his time in a deteriorating body, he learned to compensate for his failing sight and hearing and became able to observe and feel what other souls thought. This ability isn't perfect at identification, as he is capable of mistaking someone for a relative of theirs due to the similarity between familial souls.
• Stand: A spiritual construct (usually but not always a humanoid) and extension of one's soul, a Stand cannot be seen or otherwise perceived by anyone without one, nor can the direct effects of its powers. A Stand that creates fire will only have onlookers detect the heat and feel the pain of being burned alive, for example. Stands cannot be harmed by anything but another Stand except in extremely rare circumstances with Stands with a very specific weakness/downside. Each Stand is completely unique to the User and typically exemplifies attributes of their User's character in either appearance or ability. Stands also exhibit a number of universal abilities, typically limited by the precision of the individual Stand, including: shrinking down to up to microscopic sizes, selective tangibility, and physically overlaying and enhancing/shielding the User.
  In this strange space station, however, Bruno finds himself in the awkward position of having his Stand visable to all and sundry... even if its immutability to attacks and other non-Stand effects remains.
• Sticky Fingers: Bruno's unique close-range Stand, which can only move up to 2 meters away from him. It has the ability to summon zippers upon any surface with a touch and can open or close them at will once created, dispelling only once he manually releases them or is incapacitated. The zippers can be created on literally anything that Sticky Fingers touches, even other Stands and metaphysical objects. Being that touch is the limit, it can only reasonably fail to open a zipper on something like the air. It can make them large enough to completely sever a target once opened (which can be lethal or not at Bruno's discretion), and Bruno can store objects inside voluminous targets he opens, using basically anything like a makeshift dimensional pocket. To some degree, the gap opened by his zippers actually seems to make a space that is bigger on the inside, as Bruno has been able to hide himself inside the body of another living person. Zippers can also be used to connect two objects together, allowing severed body parts and the like to be reattached and healed.
  Aside from its unique ability, Sticky Fingers is very physically imposing, strong enough to easily rip apart and punch through living beings even without its zippers. Its speed is absolutely monstrous, and it has demonstrated the ability to fight on equal terms with and surprise a Stand that has itself demonstrated both lightspeed capabilities and literal precognition.

Other: My favorite power is without question stopping/controlling time. Never gets less freaking awesome to me.

Coolio. I will definitely seriously consider slapping an Armstrong CS down in here. He would be... interesting to have around, let's say.

As expected, the Omnitrix is absolute universal levels of bullshit, but that limit makes sense.

I will accept this nerf with grace and dignity. Honestly, it could have been worse. Anything else you want adjusted, or am I good to pop the new Team Soccer Mom in with the rest? XD

Revengeance Rising is the gift that never stops giving.

Wait...

Holy shit, I should play Senator Armstrong as a villain.
