Ability
「House of the Risin’ Sun」is a bound stand, taking the form of its user’s blood, which instinctively moves towards areas where murders have taken place. The stand absorbs itself into the body of anyone it makes contact with. While this normally has no effect, if the person it has absorbed into has committed or contributed in any way to the murder of a person, and admits to it in any way, the stand will melt them from the inside. Their melted body will then merge with「House of the Risin’ Sun」, creating more of it. The end goal of the stand is to kill everyone who had, in any way, contributed to the death of its user.
Recently, a large pool of the stand was kept by the head of a criminal organisation, used for the purpose of killing members of rival organisations and executing traitors.

About user
While there are only theories pertaining to the identity of the user of「House of the Risin’ Sun」, it is strongly suspected to be the late Vera Gemini. She was a Japanese-American woman who went missing for four days before her body washed up on the San Diego coast in June 1964.
Her closest living relatives being in New Orleans, only her friends were interviewed by police investigators.
According to them, Ms. Gemini was a prostitute who worked for a certain…”legally dubious” organisation. On the day she went missing, she was supposed meet them at one of their houses before heading to a concert. However, she told them that she would be late as an important client would be coming to her place of work. They filed the report after she failed to show up, even after the time the concert would have finished.
Four days later, her body was discovered washed up on the coast by two tourists who had gone down to the beach for an early-morning walk. The police were called immediately.
During the initial investigation of the crime scene, pieces of soft grey stone were found stuck to her body’s legs, suggesting they had come free from a block of concrete that had not fully set.
It is not known at what point「House of the Risin’ Sun」manifested. The more superstitious say it was pouring out of her body since it was found, or that a spring of the stuff had appeared above the ground where her body was buried. Others say it only started appearing once the police abruptly dropped the case, announcing her death was actually suicide. What cannot be argued over, however, is that since Ms. Gemini’s corpse was discovered, the number of missing people in San Diego has steadily increased year by year.
If I get silver or gold I would like the new flair, otherwise I’d like to keep my current one.
If I win, I’d like the theme for next week to be: Children’s toys.
