Sundance Kid

Sundance Kid is a major Stand in the Desert Blood RP Universe, used by Brandon Davis and created by Power Houz.

## Appearance

Sundance Kid, being arachnid in nature has a motif of Scorpion pincers and arachnid legs and joints all over his body. His main color scheme is blue, red, and yellow, with brown coming in for the arachnid parts. He also has a large dark scarlet scarf and yellow "armored muscle" around his torso.

## Personality

Sundance Kid doesn't express his own personality most of the time, but when he does, it's showna s a kind of innocent child, being very friendly, waving at people who can see him. He's very inquisitive about the world, particularly interested in fish, in which he gained his appetite for s

## Abilities

As a typical close-range stand, Sundance Kid is only effectively able to land solid hits on other stands or people within 2-5 meters. Any further, and he can't reach. However, his other abilities make up for it.

### Arachnopathy

Sundance Kid has the unique ability to communicate with and even possess arachnids, being scorpions and spiders. He can use this in multiple ways, but on a limited scale of maybe 5 at a time, and only within a 10 meter radius at that.

When in possession of an arachnid, Sundance Kid's range extends to several more meters, but his durability suffers as a result, meaning that if someone accidentally crushes it while he possesses it, it can be detrimentally painful and sometimes lethal. Luckily, the stand has mastered the ability of pulling away when things get tricky

His arachnopathy also extends to using arachnids as a kind of security system, feeding him generic information without having to possess them. This results in very bland info that can't be expanded upon as a result of the simplistic minds of arachnids while gaining an extra mile or two of range in specific circumstances

### Arachnification

Sundance Kid also possesses the ability to turn small objects, people, or even his user into arachnids. When he does the former, he remains outside and active, leaving huim vulnerable to other attacks since retreating would result in the arachnid changing back. On the other side, if he turns his user into an arachnid, he and the user fuse into one being with either spiderlike or scorpion-esque abilities, while shrinking into a regular size. This does include the same drawbacks as arachnid possession

### Arachnid Magic

Sundance Kid's most powerful base ability yet the one he is yet to actually use to its fullest is the Arachnid Magic ability. This ability allows him access to ancient arachnid spirits as guidance or advantages in battle. The reason why he hasn't used this is unknown, but it may be in part to his evolution, Sundance Ambiguous. The technique is so powerful that when used, Brandon Davis must take a long time unconscious prior or after for it to work at full strength.

## Stats

### Potential

E

Sundance Ambiguous is a form of Sundance Kid which Brandon Davis takes on to amplify his base powers. The most prominent effect of this is Davis' brain patterns and brain waves altering themselves into arachnid patterns rather than human ones. This allows for him to have widespread access and control of all arachnids in the surrounding area, capable of taking on small armies. This was achieved when the Stand Arrow pierced Davis during the events of *Shifting Sands* as a result of needing to be able to defeat *Disco Panic*.

As this is a temporary evolutionary state, Brandon Davis can only maintain this form for about 15-20 minutes straight.

## Trivia

* Sundance Kid, unknown to most people, is actually a spiritual heirloom passed down from every male member of Brandon Davis' maternal extended family. The stand is reincarnated, renamed, and has its appearance altered every generation when the previous member is no longer in shape to use it *or* if they are deceased. This means his mother's father had a version of it, as did his maternal great-grandfather and so forth.
* Sundance Kid's fascination with fish made him eager to try sushi, something that maintains its relevancy throughout all his incarnations
* Brave Dave's version of Sundance Kid is the first American version of the stand. As such, its motif of western cowboy reflects this nature.
