Moody Blues

"Im Replaying All Of The Past Memories! Every Sweat Drop Every Pulse

Going Through His Body! My Stand WIll Trace Anything!

~ Leone Abbachio

## Appearance

Moody Blues is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Abbacchio's. It is clothed from its head to its knees in a semitransparent piece of medium shade, open between the base of its neck and its crotch (revealing a light surface), and which forms a tent between its head and its shoulders.

It has a depressed, digital timer on its forehead; while its eyes resemble the speakers of a cassette player; repeated on the sides of its shoulders, the back of its hands and on its knees.

Most media featuring Moody Blue feature it being white and purple.

In the anime, Moody Blues has a constant VHS static-like effect present over its body while active, with said effect becoming more pronounced when it uses its ability. Furthermore, when activated and when using its abilities it emits sounds akin to both a landline telephone's dial-up tone and hang-up click, as well as the fast-forward and reverse winding of a VHS tape.

## Ability

Although physically mediocre in direct combat, Moody Blues' esoteric power makes it useful for a number of outside tasks.

### Chronological Rebroadcasting

Moody Blues' primary ability is retrocognition; in particular the ability to reenact or to "replay" past events with utmost precision, allowing Abbacchio to freely investigate events. Moody Blues' can transform into a lookalike of any person of Abbacchio's choosing and then reenact that person's past actions and speech. Moody Blues has a digital timer on its forehead which indicates the point in time it is reenacting.

Moody Blues can recreate events as far back as years (possibly decades) into the past; however, the farther away the event is in the past, the more time Moody Blues must spend immobile to reach it. Thus, it had to remain defenseless for possibly 8 to 10 minutes because Abbachio investigated Diavolo's past meeting with Donatella Una on the beaches of Sardinia 15 years ago.

Every event happening to a particular location or person will be exactly recreated by Moody Blues, even if it shouldn't happen; for instance, Moody Blues reenacting Narancia past will produce music because Narancia listened to some. However, there are limits to what Moody Blues can replay, for instance, Clash's teleportation through water is impossible to reenact.

Abbacchio doesn’t need to know the identity of the person he wants Moody Blues to replay, the ability works just as well with just the time period and location. This was seen when Moody Blues replayed a message to Team Bucciarati from Pericolo despite Abbacchio having no knowledge of Pericolo being the one Moody Blues would imitate when asked to replay the message. Again, when Abbacchio used Moody Blues to discover Diavalo's identity, despite never having seen his face before.

The "replay" can be controlled as if it was a video, thus Abbacchio can accelerate its speed to skip past uninteresting events, or pause it, allowing people to examine or interact with the paused event if need be.

The replay can be used for more than just investigating; Moody Blues can imitate the form of an individual for a limited time; at one point enabling Abbachio to pilot a plane from copying the previous motions of the pilot recorded by Moody Blues. The imitation effect of its ability can also be used to disguise Moody Blues, shown when it changed into Abbacchio in order to fool Illuso's Man in the Mirror into dragging it instead of Abbacchio himself into its mirror world.

The major drawback of this ability is that Moody Blues cannot attack while it is "rebroadcasting", and thus it becomes vulnerable. However, once it is finished, it can attack once

E- Weak barrage, does about 1.0 damage

R- Weak barrage finisher, about 16 damage

T- You're shown a Hud, with all of the players names (including you), clicking on a person will cause your stand to run to where they were 25 seconds ago and transform into them, moody blues will also repeat everything they've said. Another Hud with Pause, Rewind, and Fast forward symbols on it will appear, when tracking the player, if you press fast forward you gain a 1.5 percent speed boost. You can press T again to cancel, and if moody blues is close enough to them, after pressing E, Moody blues will start to the moody clone will attack the player for 10 seconds, doing the same amount 9f damage that thier stand does, meaning this is useful fot countering OP stands, they will attack in the same way d4c self clones do, with an added barrage.

Y- Moody blues will rewind you, and if you hold the button down, it will rewind you about 10 seconds ago, and you also move faster, your health is also restored to where it was, this has a semi short cooldown, and is interuptable with a barrage finisher or an equivalent to it.

H- Moody blues will stay put for about 5-10 seconds, before rewinding all players who are close to you, to where they were 25 seconds ago, if held down, the windup is interuptable.

X- Moody blues will make you go faster, like fast forwarding.

Z- Moody blues transforms into the player, and acts like a pilot mode, with a range slightly smaller than scr, but the further you get, the weaker you get.
