Stands:
In general, only those with unusually strong spiritual power and determination (but not limited to human beings) can develop Stands, as they are typically a reflection of the wielder's spirit. Stands can be developed through innate talent, practice, or artificially through mysterious means, which in turn creates Stand users throughout the existing bloodline of the person hit by the Arrow (as was the case for the Joestar family).
To people without the power of the Stand, who normally cannot see them, the activities of the Stands are comparable to ghostly and poltergeist activity, and ESP. - Those without a Stand can gain the ability to see them at 5000 Soul Sync via a Technique Slot
Traits:
Stand by me: A Stand protects its user, like a guardian. The name comes from "standing by" the user, sometimes using their powers without direct orders in order to protect the user, and by extension, themselves. Stands exhibit one or more otherworldly abilities. - Stand users are innately able to see other Stands. They also gain a special ability* that is unique to them via this phenomenon which is generally usable 'at will'. This comes in two varieties; either the Stand is automatic in some way, or through the will of the user.
*Keep in mind that abilities deemed too powerful or abuse-able will be denied.
Trump Card: Stands are mysterious and powerful beings, being linked with one means you have more tricks up your sleeve than you might realize. Each Stand has a different move that is effectively its 'strongest maneuver' and what it is and how it appears generally depends on the Stand and its user. - This typically functions as a modified NON-VARIANT technique that is x2 your SS level but other functions can be arranged if desired.
Life Link: A Stand is part of its user, and damage is usually reflected between the two. Usually, if a Stand's leg is cut off, its user will lose their leg as well. Certain aspects of some Stands, such as the armor pieces of Silver Chariot, are immune to this effect, as they are not fully part of the Stand, and simply exist because of it.
If the Stand is not exactly humanoid or exists as multiple entities, they may reflect damage to their user's body relative to the area of the Stand that was damaged. - Durability of B or above, the extent of this feature is negotiated with staff, and can only be chosen during creation, or through special means.
