This is a stand I made after coming in from the rain back in July 12, 2021. I'm pulling it out of the cobwebs for this contest focused around non-combat stands. Though in fairness, it would be more accurate to call this an anti-combat stand.

Stand Name:「FORTUNATE SON」(Song by Creedence Clearwater Revival)

Localized Names:「FORTUNATE ONE」or「MILLIONAIRE’S SON」(Lyrics from “Fortunate Son”)

Stand User: Willy Nuball (Willy and the Poor Boys, the album where “Fortunate Son” comes from and Credence Newball, inspiration for the band’s name)

Appearance: Willy Nuball loves to cover himself in the American flag in the most gaudy, obnoxious way possible. Think Kurt Angle’s singlets, but applied to regular clothes. In addition, his outfit has rooster motifs resembling this particular Kurt Angle singlet.「FORTUNATE SON」wears the classic M1 helmet. Its face resembles that of Kamen Rider Verde, though eschewing chameleon/bug eyes in favor of stars. It can generate slots on itself to receive whatever objects are put into it Everything below that is just pitiful. It’s torso looks like a washboard, it’s legs look like gut basses, and it’s arms are downright skeletal. It has the typical camo color scheme one would expect from a soldier.

Stand Ability: Monetary Luck Manipulation

Willy Nuball has deep pockets and shallow guts. Behind all of that red, white, and blue is a yellow streak that runs all the way down his back. His stand,「FORTUNATE SON」, reflects his cowardly nature. In terms of physical ability, its an absolute joke. Its power lies in its ability. By inserting things of monetary value into the body of the stand (usually currency, objects with monetary value could work but Willy hasn't really tried),「FORTUNATE SON」can manipulate the world around it to help Willy avoid fights. These alterations take the form of freak occurrences. One cent of USD equals .01 seconds where no one can engage Willy in combat. While the stand itself has a short range, its ability affects everything within 1,000 yards of Willy. As for weaknesses, once the object is put in, it's erased from existence. Once the time has elapsed, the effect goes away. Also, Willy can’t really control how he’s protected either, and if he runs out of money, he’s screwed.

Stand Stats:

Power: D. The primary purpose of「FORTUNATE SON」is to avoid conflict, not engage in it.

Speed: D. It’s not very fast either. In fact, it’s usual better if Willy just runs away.

Range: B. It’s ability affects everything within a thousand-yard radius.

Durability: E. One good hit from any stand is enough to put it down. In fact, if humans could touch stands, it could probably be knocked out by one.

Precision: E. Just pop the money in and hope for the best.

Potential: C.「FORTUNATE SON」's physical deficiencies could be ironed out with training. Willy also doesn't really use the stand to its fullest potential. His preferred method of dealing with problems is pop in some money and run like hell. To facilitate that, he never carries less than $500 on his person at all times. He hasn't really been put in a situation where he's had to make the most of his time or his stand's range. To give you a perspective of how unexplored「FORTUNATE SON」is, Willy doesn't even know that it can take coins.

Theme: Chess (Interpret however you wish)

Stand Name:「RADIO HEAD」(Song by Talking Heads, from which English rock band Radiohead took their name from)

Localized Name: 「RADIO MIND」(Opening lyric of “Radio Head”)

Stand User: Palma Zandomeneghi (Named after Palma Giovane, the artist who finished Tiziano Vecellio’s final work, The Pietà, and Luigi, Pietro, and Andrea Zandomeneghi, who built his tomb)

Appearance: Visually, Palma is inspired by Jean Shrimpton in the April 1965 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. His helmet has a built-in microphone and headphones for discrete listening, though he can unplug them if he wants.「RADIO HEAD」is based off of a jellyfish, with coil cords for tentacles. These tentacords can plug into any electronic device that is capable of producing sound. It tends to stay close to Palma, keeping his head in its bell or hovering a few feet over him. The stand's design is inspired by the fusion of Lusamine and Nihilego from Pokémon Sun and Moon, along with the single artworks for "High and Dry"/"Planet Telex", "Paranoid Android", and "Pyramid Song", all by Radiohead.

Stand Ability: Thought Tuning

Palma is the SBR-verse equivalent of Tizzano from Golden Wind. He’s a data broker who gathers information through his stand,「RADIO HEAD」, which allows him to read minds. By tuning to someone’s time of birth, Palma can listen to their thoughts as if they were radio broadcasts. Palma can adjust the distance from which he gathers thoughts (from as close as 1 meter to as far as 25 kilometers) and how specific he is in when a person was born (year, month, day, hour, minute, and second of birth). If more than one person is within those criteria, then the broadcast will consist of different thoughts played on top of each other. This can be turned to Palma’s advantage, as solely tuning into a year of birth with a large enough range will all but guarantee cacophonous noise, which can disorient potential enemies or create a distraction.

Stand Stats (Based off of remasteredstandstats):

Power: C. While sound is capable of doing damage (see this Game Theory video if you want proof), it would require extremely specific circumstances for「RADIO HEAD」to produce that kind of sound. Still, sudden loud noises can throw almost anybody off.

Speed: D. The stand itself is about as fast as a typical jellyfish.

Range: B. While the stand itself can’t move far from Palma, its ability can go as far as 25 kilometers.

Durability: D. Like real jellyfish, it’s extremely fragile.

Precision: B. While Palma has to at least know what year someone was born to read their minds, once he does, there is nothing that can prevent him from hearing thoughts.

Potential: D. Palma has mastered all of「RADIO HEAD」’s abilities.
