OCTOBER RUST [TYPE O NEGATIVE]

NAME: October Rust

NAMESAKE: October Rust, album by Type O Negative

PRONOUNS: *noncommittal handwave*, he/him

AGE: 25

AFFILIATION: Heaven's Mantle

NATIONALITY: French

APPEARANCE: [MOODBOARD]

A black man in his mid 20's, with high cheekbones and sad but piercing green eyes. Elegant, cold, tired. Untouchable the way paintings in museums are - tempting, right there, with nothing technically stopping you except thoughts of the repercussions. Long, well-kept black hair. Looks through you more than at you. Slender fingers that move with purpose and intent. Long, thick eyelashes. Someone you think you could save.

PERSONALITY: Much like his looks, with very few surprises. Soft-spoken, carefully chooses all of his words before speaking. Comes to life during tough fights, which happens rarely since he prefers ending things quickly and subtly.

STAND NAME: Type O Negative

STAND NAMESAKE: Type O Negative, band

STAND APPEARANCE: [MOODBOARD]

STATS:



STAND ABILITIES: An extremely close range stand that allows the user to manipulate and control blood. To have the level of control necessary to inflict meaningful damage, the Stand must be very close to the target (i.e. less than a meter apart), or ideally, making direct contact with the target's skin.

While the offensive applications of Type O Negative are obvious (freezing/boiling blood, altering blood's sharpness, etc), it also has defensive and healing capabilities as well - the ability to clot blood to staunch an otherwise fatal wound, or selectively "hardening" blood to make a (weak) sort of dermal armor.

• LOVE YOU TO DEATH: If allowed to get close enough to touch someone's skin, Type O Negative can almost instantaneously drastically alter someone's blood temperature to boiling or freezing, causing an immense amount of pain and permanent damage/death if allowed to maintain contact for even a few seconds.
• BLOODY KISSES: If Type O Negative's user kisses a target on the lips, they gain the power to control the target's motor skills by using the blood in their body to control them like a puppet. After the initial kiss, skin contact does not need to be maintained for control to be held, but the Stand and user must still stay close to the target or else the link will be broken. If the user isn't careful with how they control the target's movements, they can cause permanent damage or a particularly gruesome death by damaging the target's cardiovascular system. Bloody Kisses doesn't alter a subject's emotions or thoughts, and as long as the victim is conscious they are fully aware of what's happening, but their movement is controlled by the Stand. The link can be broken through death (of the Stand user or the victim), moving out of the Stand's range, or with another kiss.
