Mad World

## Stand Stats

"It appears atop the highest point of any building. It can focus on one individual at a time. While its focus remains only the person themselves will know of anything I have done, and when it changes focus all those things will be lost. Because what is truly a mad world but one in which you are in pain and nobody can see your suffering?" - Julia on the subject of her Stand

Mad World is the Stand of Sister Julia McKenzie. It is the alternate universe version of Eleanor Rigby.

## Appearence

Mad World is an exceptionally tall stand, possessing a sixty foot tall body. Most of its body is a large rod running between its main body and a small umbrella-like foot. Mad World's torso is circular, with a cross adorning its side and a number of rods emerging from its back. The Stand has two arms, its right arm being a typical arm and hand, while its left is a large sniper rifle with a scope and a crosshair. Mad World's head consists of a pair of eyes which have a circular pattern and a mouth seemingly locked into a perpetual toothy grin. A floating white cross hovers above its head, upon which sits a small party hat.

## Personality

Mad World has shown no independent personality, nor has it been seen to mirror the emotions of its user.

## Background

Mad World manifested as the Stand of Julia McKenzie at an unknown time, who used her Stand to aid her work as an assassin, presumably under the Eden Foundation. After a group of Stand users became known to the Eden Foundation, Julia was sent to kill them. She used Mad World to attack them at Lemy's Diner on Main Street, using her Stand to make her initial shot on Jamie through a window inpercievable. When fighting broke out, Mad World began to move around the roofs of Main Street to line up and take shots, landing a number. Jordan was able to use Jorgon's star glasses to find the glare of light bouncing off Mad World's scope to discover it was on top of the buildings and skyscrapers, helping reveal its power. Mad World fully revealed itself to fire at Jordan when she fired back at Julia, who explained her Stand's power. Joichiro was able to use Guitarmass to force his sword deep into her chest, barely avoiding killing her, forcing Julia and Mad World to retreat.

## Ability

Mad World makes it so the only person who can percieve the actions and consequences of its user is the person being targeted at that moment. When Julia and Mad World are focusing on an individual, they will be able to see them and any destruction caused by them, but as soon as they are no longer their target they will lose the ability to percieve any of it. This allows Julia to hide herself and her Stand to move into position to attack as well as assassinate people in public. The Stand can conceal smashed windows, blood, broken bone, and any other destruction that was directly caused by it or their user. People will still be able to see people reacting to victims under attack, but none of the causes of their panic.

Thanks to use of a learning point, Mad World developed to ability to hide people other than McKenzie. The effects remain identical, hiding the person and any actions and effects of said actions caused by them. It can only hide one person at a time.

In order to assassinate its victims, Mad World is able to move to and manifest at high points, typically the highest points of nearby buildings. It has been seen to be able to appear on top of skyscrapers. Thanks to its rifle arm, it is capable of firing from these vantage points.

## Trivia

Canonically every day is Mad World's birthday.

Mad World takes its name from the title of the Star Road Now episode where its alternate universe counterpart, Eleanor Rigby, first appeared. It is the only AU Stand that this is the case for.
