r/fanStands

Song reference: Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode

Appearance: A serpentine, slender stand with a smooth white body, its two arms appear mechanic and it clings to its users back with a long tail and multiple tentacles. Its mouth is stiched shut with golden wire and it has two large ears instead of eyes.

Ability: In its radius, any action performed by its user in complete silence is impossible to perceive by any sense or consciousness. He can apply this effect to objects by touching them with his palm. Moved objects seem to vanish, the user is not noticable by any means and noiseless attacks go completely unnoticed. The moment an action produces even the slightest sound, however, it becomes perceptible again.

Tactic:

As the stand possesses no combat abilities, the user has to attack by himself. Despite his huge frame he can move soundlessly. He often sneaks up on his target and stabs them slowly. As the victim cannot notice him while he is quiet he can take as long as he wants with this, to debilitating effect. His victims often find themself having large wounds they only notice when their blood makes a dripping noise.

As a more direct tactic, he simply begins to pummle his opponent, which leads to the victim becoming disoriented by facing an opponent that only seems to appear the moment the hit connects and then vanishes again.

He also needs to be careful where he steps, as he needs to actively apply the impercievability on objects. As a result, hus footsteps may be visible, even though him making then is not which may tick his opponent of to his presence even though his exact location is still obscured.

Edit: spelling

Belonging to 5 siblings, each stand has the ability to remove one of the 5 senses from their target. Their design inspirations are Moody Blues and Soft and Wet, and they are themed and named after analogue phones.

No Phone- named for the song by CAKE, can steal sight.

Telephone Line- named after the song by Electric Light Orchestra, can steal touch

Operator- named after the Guns n' Roses song, can steal smell

Ring Ring Ring- named after the Tyler, the Creator song, can steal hearing

Kiss Me Thru the Phone- named after the Soulja Boy song, can steal taste.

In this second form, the stand turns its body into armor with the eyes connected to each other with muscle-like structures. The pupils of the eyes on its body are now extremely dilated, have massive horns used for offence and defence, and a star on top of its head has completely separated itself from the main body, not only that but the wings that were previously there on the first form have turned now into dark rings capable of absorbing approximately 30-40 percent of all damage it takes during a battle. In this form, the Stand becomes slightly slower, but its durability and strength increase. Additionally, using its main eye, it can not only perceive the opponent’s spiritual weaknesses, but can also force them to see those very same weaknesses.

ability is to reform objects small objects like their clay, the inspiration is lala from devilman(the 1972 kids version) and the song reference is no other one from weezer

『Closer』is a Nine Inch Nails reference. It is an automatic/phenomena stand that pursues targets that reject or wrong the user… whether the user wants this or not.

Its ability is refracting genetic information, fusing things together, and warping DNA. It has a small field around itself that causes these effects, but its main way of killing is phasing violently into its target (getting closer, so to speak). This stand can phase through matter, like a ghost pursuing through walls, but all things it directly touches will rapidly fuse together.

Its ability is like the DNA scrambling effect from the movie, Annihilation. Side-effects of its ability create doppelgängers, and new lifeforms, but that’s not its main focus. It can’t manipulate DNA directly, it only has the ability to scramble/destroy it.

I really wish I could draw, in my mind, I want the stand to be absolutely disgusting. 『Closer』looks like it’s wearing a skin suit, and when it breathes, it shows that it has a skeleton underneath this suit with a really warped skull. The stand speaks for itself, but has a very, very specific voice - it’s the voice synthesizer effect from No More Heroes 1 when bosses are introduced! It’s super specific, but I think it’d add a lot to it.

The user knows they have this stand, and how it works, but is mostly terrified of it.『Closer』activates automatically when the user is wronged/rejected, and can’t be controlled after that. So, if this guy tries to hook-up with a girl, and she rejects him,『Closer』will activate and pursue her.

I wanted a situation where the stand user is actively warning everyone to run away from his own stand, and trying to stall it to save their lives.『Closer』has a bit of intelligence, and has to be reasoned with to be deactivated (hopefully it works).

So this guy could be fired at his job, and『Closer』will say “I will be back soon.” The user would know it seeks to kill his former boss, and that he won’t really be able to stop it. The love of his life could say they aren’t ready for a relationship yet, and THAT would be enough to trigger 『Closer』. To get really dark, it could be as simple as a kid being an asshole to the user.

Stand Name: Eye Balloon (painting by Odilon Redon)

Stand type: Automatic, long distance

Appearance:

Eye Balloon takes the form of a security camera mounted on 2 long rods, connected to a human torso. Its body has several large spheres attached to the end of its stumped limbs, and in between the connecting rods and associated parts.

Each rod can freely circle around the spheres allowing for extreme mobility of its limbs, with the rods capable of collapsing to make space or extending to be longer, giving Eye Balloon a mechanical, yet unnerving spider-like appearance when moving.

Because of the connecting spheres, it can twist its related limbs in any way from inverting them, twisting them to fit into tight spaces, and even letting it reshape itself.

Its torso is that of a malnourished, starved state except its belly, which is protruding and bulbous. While the stumped limbs can move they can only do so as a normal human can, still lending more range to its movement.

The stand itself is fairly large, being 8ft tall standing up, and has a wingspan of 19ft. When fully stretched upward including its arms, it is 17.5ft tall, letting it traverse open terrain such as ceilings or walls freely, its strength enough for it to support its whole body with a single finger.

Ability:

Eye Balloon's main ability is to simply let its user pilot it from a distance, being dormant and unmoving until then.

While piloting, the user will lose control of their own body, falling into a sleep-like state, while fully becoming Eye Balloon itself, viewing the world through its eyes and using its body as if it were their own.

Eye Balloon has various misc functions, like letting its user zoom, use nightvision, sense heat, and even view magnetic poles. It can also let its user “record” what they see, capable of transferring that image or video to nearby electronics, and saving them to the device in turn.

The stand itself is also unique in that it needs to “eat” recordings, drawing these recordings from nearby devices or a select device, down to selecting specific videos if need be.

The videos eaten can give it a boost depending on the content, from a strength boost from violent videos, to a letting it disturb electricity from electrical tutorials.

Should the stand not eat any recordings for 2 days, it'll starve and die alongside the user, forcing them to feed it consistently.

Now, this one I actually don’t have enough experience or knowledge to actually make it work. If you’ve seen my posts or whatever, you’ll notice a pattern… I usually make space travel themed stands. However, this is more Astrology based, which I really don’t know enough about. Please leave a comment, if you have any ideas! (Please ignore the third picture of this post LOL)

『Intergalactic』is a Beastie Boys reference, and my reimagining of 『Dragon’s Dream』from Part 6 and it’s Feng Shui. It has the ability to cast a diorama, or fully project the solar system and stars, where the user is the Sun (heliocentricity). The user is able to interact with the projections, causing astrological effects within her range.

This includes the user manipulating constellations, aligning the planets in certain ways, causing eclipses and different phases of the moon - anything within belief of these projections. I know a few of these… like the planets fully aligning is super cool, very lucky… uh, there’s these phenomena called Grand Crosses that cause disaster?! Yeah, I actually don’t know enough to actually use this stand lol, so you’d win against me for sure.

Basically, this user has their own magic system with multiple astrological things… that I’m not qualified to list!

In my mind, I wanted the user to be female, and all the poses are inspired by constellations. When she activates powers with this stand, her character outline is drawn like a star map, so it’s very beautiful when being destroyed by this stand user lol. I basically only had the visual and general idea in my mind…

Made this stand for a video I'm working on and thought it would be fun to post it here.

named after the *NSYNC song and album of the same name. One of the first stands I designed, I think I used too many colors. Araki tends to stick to just a couple. IDK what its ability would be, maybe suggest something?

I kind of want these stand users to be a couple, regardless of gender or whatever. This is my first idea for a romantic partnership, I guess?

『Freestyler』is a Bomfunk MC’s reference. It is a purely physical attack stand, with the ability to immediately learn new moves from its environment or from another person, or really anything it’s seen before.

This is similar to how spin users can be inspired by nature with the golden ratio, or how Taskmaster (Marvel Comics character) has “photographic reflexes”. This allows the user to watch a Kung Fu movie and immediately learn their moves, or allow the user to see something in real life, and be able to mimic the move by interpretation (crane style martial arts by watching how cranes hunt).

The stand buffs the user slightly, but all the attacks are from the user themselves. It allows the user to contort their body slightly, be more nimble with gymnastics, and basically be a CQC master very, very fast. The user doesn’t normally use a weapon to fight, but this is also covered by his ability.

I’m not entirely sure what it would look like, but maybe a headband? Maybe because that symbolizes the fighting spirit when it is tied? Not sure…

The user would be similar to Chie from Persona 4, or Might Guy/Rock Lee from Naruto. They have an obsession with Kung Fu movies, UFC, boxing, training, anything that they can use to get stronger. They love improving themselves, and are genuinely nice to be around — usually more humble, and down-to-earth, but fierce when they fight.

『Suga Suga』is a Baby Bash reference. Its ability is to grant itself and others the ability to fly. …that’s really it, but it would be awesome to have this!! Lol

The stand works like Tinker Bell from Peter Pan, with pixie/fairy dust. It uses this dust, which looks like “Suga Suga (sugar)” being sprinkled on its targets. Yes, this pun gave me enough confidence to post this online, and I’m sorry.

I guess you could use the stand in creative ways, like deactivating it to drop very heavy items, or lift up impossibly heavy things. You could also use it to delicately remove something, I suppose. Maybe even use it on an enemy, so they are stuck in the air and you can escape them.

The stand user would be someone who is a dreamer, and is very optimistic, preferring not to kill their enemy if possible. They love using this ability on their friends, and traveling with them. If I had to also reference a general character type… maybe like Hinata from Naruto, or Aang from Avatar would work?

This stand works in juxtaposition to 『Freestyler』, because the user would lean towards more pacifist solutions. Again, it might be awesome to switch up how these types of powers are normally assigned by gender, and they are a better couple for it.

DISCLAIMER: This is a repost of a stand I wanted to enter for a contest, but I honestly didn’t read all the rules, and my post was removed. Fair is fair, and that’s my bad! However, since I’m a gigantic nerd, I still want to share it, lol. It also gave me a bit of time to make slight improvements, I think so anyway.

『The Final Countdown』is a Europe reference. Its ability is both very simple, but potentially incredibly complicated. Its power is to divide timelines and perceptions of everyone involved in fighting it. When activating this ability, it initiates a countdown, and when the countdown is complete, the timelines converge back into one main timeline.

The only one who if fully conscious of this effect is the user, similar to how Funny Valentine is aware of his extra-dimensional selves. It works by making all its combatants the center focus of their timeline within its countdown.

Let’s say『The Final Countdown』is fighting Person A and Person B, and it activates its ability. Person A could have killed/destroyed『The Final Countdown』 or the user, while Person B actually witnessed Person A die instead. When the countdown is over, the user of will have survived, while Person A is permanently dead.

The stand breaks down how everyone perceives it or their reality, and picks and chooses what it wishes to keep. This also includes any witnesses. As long as one instance of 『The Final Countdown』is alive, it will return. If several people fight it during its countdown, as long as one 『The Final Countdown』survives, it will converge the timeline together instantly, and only keep favorable things.

Fighting it from your point-of-view could be very confusing, because you totally won… but then a noise comes in and your head is flying off or something. You could compare it to 『King Crimson』in that way, however this stand is actually far more dangerous when multiple people see it at one time.

Because of how it bases the timelines on the combatants fighting it, there is a psychological angle to fighting it. The stand starts the countdown without others knowing it is happening. You could be on the hero team with your friends in one moment, and then your whole party is wiped out from their individually bad decisions in their own timelines. It means that you could run and hide from this stand, and if at least one timeline causes your death, you will die. This is sort of like how『Bites the Dust』kills the victim no matter what, because they already died.

The stand is incredibly powerful, humanoid, and can punch holes through solid steel. It is actually more dangerous based on how many people are fighting it, or how many people are currently witnessing it.

This is a stand that would usually be used by a main villain. This main villain would have “main character syndrome”, and 『The Final Countdown』would add to his delusion of being the only one that matters. He feels that everyone is written around him, and that he is the center of this universe (which his stand…kinda helps with).

Based on these lyrics, and general energy of this song:

“We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown
The final countdown”

Its design is very simple, but striking. It’s based on the Doomsday Clock and the Long Now Clock (mainly because its design is super cool, as the main justification lol), which is a measurement by The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists to when humanity will collapse by its own actions. I think it says “IT IS 85 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHT” right now, for instance. It is a white background, one black curve to act like the side of the clock, and pure black dots for numbers, and black small and large hands for telling time. I was going to use the current time on the actual Doomsday Clock as the length of time 『Final Countdown』can be active. Although the countdown starts without a warning, when it ends it makes a terrifying bell-like noise, sort of like a funeral noise but deeper and twisted.

Because this stand is so powerful, I wanted it to evolve from a different one first, and I think 『1999』by Prince would be a great one. Maybe it could be where 『1999』is like an “egg” or mid-transformation somehow, and then when it hits the Year 2000 in the story, 『The Final Countdown』is born. “Party over! Oops, out of time!”

EDIT: Maybe instead of reaching Heaven, the villain is trying to reach a NEW MILLENNIUM?? Idk, make it dramatic!

Imagine it hitting the Year 2000, people are shooting fireworks off, and think this is just another firework, when it is actually this emerging for the first time. The whole world celebrating the new millennium, while the main characters are like “wtf is happening?!”. The beginning of the song “The Final Countdown” playing, and then it cuts to credits like the Phantom Blood continue/“Roundabout” theme playing. I think it would be pure cinema, personally!

In The Flesh is yet another stand with no actual form. What it does instead is fully rebuild the body of the user to the cellular level. Stats:

"Abilities"

In the flesh does a few things to the user:

1. Gives insanely fast regeneration.

2. Gives the ability to touch and damage other stands (since technically the cells are the stand).

3. Gives slight boost in power and speed.

4. Now the cells are able to consume any type of organic matter although really slowly.

5. Immortality.

There are only 3 ways I thought of you can stop the user:

1. The user gets freezed (although he won't die)

2. Gets completely destroyed to the cellular level (for example being incinerated).

3. If the brain is practically destroyed and does regenerate, then the user is practically a completely new person with no memories or anything from before the brain was destroyed.

The user has already lived for around 2000 years and has been reset 4 times.
