Red Barchetta

"Ah, seems I read the room wrong again" -Red Barchetta in most situations

## Background

Red Barchetta is a 7 foot tall man with Blue hair and purple hair spikes spotting the left side of his head, much like Isadora he still wears his mercenary jacket. Red's first appearance is in "Cheer Up Ep 4: Witch Hunt" serving as the episode's antagonist as he attempts to kill Donna. The encounter proves challenging for the duo until Donna is able to close it out by turning "Wheat" to "Heat" and slashing Red's nack with a some slices of thrown bread. After his defeat he reveals he was sent by Motley to assassinate Donna, having gained the information on where she lived through the help of the information broker Majestic by asking her "Where should I go to solve all of my problems" and being led to Donna's apartment. Though Red is generally monotone and misses nearly every social que presented to him he is extraordinarily motivated, having come to Jump city as a means to track down the boss of the Hole of Soul Mercenaries Xanadu to avenge his squad that was singlehandedly killed by him. After his initial appearance Red would occasionally appear as an ally, proving assistance and information filtered through his unusual lens. Red was later given one of Isadora's Twelve Swords.

## Abilities

Being a Hole of Soul Mercinary Red Barchetta is highly trained and highly experienced in close corners combat. Red However laments the usefulness of his stand as it did nothing during the events of the Hole of Soul and it does very little to stand up against the threatening stand users of Jump City.

### Plastic Beach

If the owner of a building, peace of property, or living space offers Red entry into said space Plastic Beach is automatically activated. The effect of Plastic Beach causes the flesh of those within the space to melt as though it is made of wax when it comes in contact with anything, made of metal. Though Red himself is an extraordinarily capable fighter his stand does very little to grant him additional combat options, even serving as a hinderances since he is not immune to the effect of his own stand and people under the effects of Plastic Beach can take what would normally be lethal amount of damage much easier. In the event Red's will wavers (most likely from him losing the altercation) the effects of Plastic Beach are immediately and fully reversed. Later Red learns how to active Plastic Beach on himself without any hyper specific activation requirements, allowing him to narrowly survive an assignation attempt by Harley Danger.

### Combat Training

Though his particular job within the Hole of Soul Mercenaries has not been elaborated on it can be assumed he is a well trained combatant as that is the standard of all of the Hole of Soul Mercenaries.

### Physique

Though it's not given much lip service beyond describing him as a "Brick Shithouse" Red Barchetta is 7 feet tall and in very good shape despite his slummy vagabond lifestyle. This fact alone would basically guarantee his victory in combat against anyone without supernatural capabilities.

### Weaponized Yo-yo

In sharp contrast to his physique and work history, Red Barchetta's main weapon is a yo-yo with a thin metal cable instead of a string. When under the effects of Plastic Beach the yo-yo's cable can effectively act as a super garrote wire, being able to sever limbs like a hot knife through butter. Though far less helpful Red also knows a variety of yo-yo tricks, his favorite of which is the "Long Sleeper" a trick where you cast your yo-yo by your feet and wait until it stops spinning.
