{ what is a STAND? } |
A Stand is a supernatural power in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, introduced in Part 3: Stardust Crusaders and featuring heavily in all subsequent parts. Stands are viewable only to other Stand users (at least in canon — this may differ in different game settings!). They are described variously as a person's fighting spirit or a representation of their psyche. Whatever they are, they protect their users (with a few notable exceptions) as well as representing them, in a way vaguely analogous to (but less understood than) the dæmons of His Dark Materials or Personas of the eponymous franchise.
When Stands are hurt, so are their users, and vice versa; when a Stand dies, so does its user, and vice versa. Stand users have been known to see ghosts, presumably due to their connection with the spirit world through their Stands. There are several types of Stand.
{ what is SILVER CHARIOT? } |
Silver Chariot is a slender, almost robotic humanoid shaped creature. It has plates of spiked armor all along its body, which may be shed if need be. It weilds a rapier, which has a span of a few feet. It is, as its name suggests, a bright silver in color.
Chariot's abilities revolve primarily around speed. Indeed, it's one of the fastest Stands in canon, and can move quickly enough that it gives off the appearance of multiplying. It moves very quickly when it wants to, but it only reaches top speed once it sheds its armor. This, however, leaves it more vulnerable to attack, so it's not done lightly.
Chariot's other power is precision. Polnareff trained his Stand for manay years, and so Chariot is precise enough to slice through a bullet or skewer a shower of coins falling in the air.
