NAME: Oleander
PRONOUNS: No gender. They/them/themselves
AGE: Unknown
AFFILIATION: Heaven's Mantle
LEGACY: N/A
APPEARANCE: (IMGUR ALBUM) (MOODBOARD) A pitch-black wolf, gigantic (at least 5' at the shoulder), with a small gold crown on their head. Oleander flowers strewn in their shaggy fur are optional. Big teeth and a tongue often lolling and long and narrow eyes, Oleander looks like they're constantly laughing at you.
PERSONALITY: Oleander is wicked smart, and it's theorized that having a stand raised an already clever species to human-level intelligence. This intelligence likely was what led to their literal lone wolf behavior. However, they're still very much a canine. They'll do what they want when they want, like to roll in messes, and generally are fairly unruly and like to make a fool of people.
STAND NAME: Dance With The Dead (DWTD for ease of typing)
STAND NAMESAKE: Band, Dance With The Dead
STAND APPEARANCE: (IMGUR ALBUM) A strange construction. A fabric mannequin body and head, brown and stained from age, with R I P emblazoned across the chest, was given four white articulated arms, as well as the standard amount of legs. The head has a messy long straight black wig attached that falls over the 'face'. The most immediate thing most people see is the speaker embedded in the palms of each hand. The shoulder joints are drivers from a speaker as well as the hip joints. Keyboard keys are embedded lengthwise in the upper and lower parts of the arm as well as the thighs, giving those parts an appearance similar to a keytar. Not attached to the body is a floating keyboard/synthesizer. This is still part of the stand.
When DWTD is playing its keyboard, one set of arms are used and the other set has its palms up.

STAND ABILITIES: DWTD does not fight by itself, so its individual combat ability is limited and weak, and the working range is an average 30 meters. However, the effects of the stand is not range-limited nor do they need to be manifested for the effects to continue. The body is fairly durable however, and if the keyboard is destroyed DWTD can play the keys on itself.
DWTD works primarily with sound. It's extremely loud, the lowest volume simply being able to be felt within the body and the highest possibly being able to destroy buildings and blow out windows. A possible psychological advantage can be gained from the constant loud and intimidating music DWTD plays while using its abilities, not to mention the repulsiveness of the abilities themselves.
The music they play emits from the speakers in its body, the upright set of arms, shoulders, and hips.
- Graveyard Shift: This is DWTD's main ability. DWTD holds out all of its arms and emits an extremely loud bass note from its palms. This blaring note wakes whatever's buried underneath the ground in a 30m radius. All corpses or skeletons are underneath DWTD's control, no matter the species, and can still move no matter the state of decomposition (birds can still fly, fish can still swim in water, etc.). They are essentially zombies. DWTD then begins to play blaring msuic from its synthesizer to control and direct whatever's underneath its influence. If DWTD stops playing, those effected are still underneath its control, but are much less organized. Corpses and skeletons under the effect of Graveyard Shift are durable, with skin as tough as Kevlar (though still pierceable), especially the skeletons, whose bones are as tough as armor. They will keep working unless completely destroyed, and dismembering a corpse simply means every limb will continue trying to accomplish its goal.
- Stitch: DWTD raises its hands from the keyboard and emits another loud bass note. All corpses and skeletons will immediately attempt to combine into a large revenant, often just a blob of limbs and heads. It's messy and disorganized but extremely strong and durable, and all pieces knocked off will attempt to recombine with the main body.
