Stand contest #113: Folklore

Here are the results of last week's Stand contest:

In third place we have /u/DropDeadThrIIIc3 with 「FORTUNATE SON」. They earn the bronze flair.

In second place is /u/MidnightBlues-62 with 「CALL ME MAYBE」! They earn the silver flair!

Folklore

You are free to interpret this theme in any way you wish.

This week's contest will last until midnight of May 24, Eastern Time. To enter, submit a Stand related to the theme, and give it the "Contest entry" flair by clicking the "Flair" option under your post after submitting it. If you can't add a flair (due to being on mobile for example), add the words "Contest entry" to your post's title and AutoModerator will flair it for you. Contest entries will not be accepted during the time between the contest closing and the results being announced, even if the sticky post is still up.

You are allowed to reuse a previously-submitted Stand to the contest, if it fits the theme. It is recommended, but not required, that you improve upon the old Stand (such as by giving it new abilities, ACT evolutions, or going more in-depth in the description such as by describing the user). When reusing a Stand, please repost it with the "Contest entry" flair, instead of simply changing the flair on your old post, so I will be able to see it when filtering by posts made this week.

Your post must include the theme you would want to see for the next contest if your entry wins. If you have previously won a contest and have a flair, you should also mention whether you'd rather take the new flair or keep your current one.

Each user may only submit one entry per week.

Contest entries must be presented in the form of text, not artwork. This is in order to keep things fair for users who can't draw, since artistic talent has been shown to give an unfair advantage to some users in the contest. If you want to make artwork for your contest entry, it should be submitted in a separate post after the contest ends.

At the end of the contest, whichever entry has the most upvotes will be the winner! The theme specified in the winning post will be used for next week's contest. In case of a tie, I will personally decide who comes out on top.

On top of this, the three top upvoted participants will be granted a special flair of their contest entry Stand's name in bronze, silver, or gold depending on their placement. It is possible to decline a flair, or choose to take it only if it wins a certain ranking (in case you prefer keeping a higher ranked flair).

Stand name: Parasite. It's not a reference to anything in particular (I'm sure there are lots of musical references with that name though), and it doesn't have anything to do with its ability. It's just what it was called in my dream.

User: Jogtaro. That's really his name. He is an alternate universe version of Jotaro Kujo, who is much more violent and ruthless. He takes pleasure in brutalizing his enemies, killing them in violent or painful ways, and doesn't much care for collateral damage. However, he is not completely evil: he wouldn't attack an innocent for selfish reasons, and has great loyalty to those he cares about. In fact, Jogtaro is a pretty fun person to be around if you get on his good side. He certainly has a lot of interesting stories he likes to share, even if most of them are violent.

The Stand is a close-range power-type, similar to Star Platinum, but with much weaker speed and precision. Its body is white and slimy, similar to a frog, and its face is similar to that of a great potoo bird with huge black eyes and a very wide mouth. It's quite creepy to look at.

Parasite's ability sounds useless and detrimental at first: every time it misses an attack, it gets hit by a calamity. For example, if it tries to punch you and you dodge, it might hit the wall behind you and break its hand. This injury is also transferred to Jogtaro.

However, everything that happens from these calamities also ends up making Parasite's attacks more powerful. In that aforementioned example, Parasite would break its hand, but the resulting fracture would cause sharp bones to stick out of its arm which it can now use as a weapon.

Attacks missed on purpose don't count; Jogtaro has to be genuinely trying to hit a target for the miss to activate its ability.

Another example is that it punches so hard it dislocates its arm, but this ends up causing an accidental Zoom Punch, increasing the attack's range and possibly making it connect.

On top of that, calamity energy accumulates inside Parasite with each missed attack, and when it does finally land a hit, the combined force of all those calamities will be inflicted on the target.

There are two ways to defeat Parasite. The first is to keep dodging: eventually, the calamities will add up and leave Jogtaro incapacitated. However, this is very risky, as you will probably die instantly if you get hit after avoiding a few attacks. The second way is to just tank its first hit, which will not be as deadly, and counterattack afterwards.
