Joshua Cattaneo

> " They say opposites attract... but that isn't exactly true... from a sense... In fact its rather the opposite Because as soon as my stand activates, the original will surely be destroyed... leaving only the opposite in its place. "

## Appearance:

Joshua himself has wavy unkept black hair following normal glasses and dark gray eyes, which change upon activation of his own ability, he has several scars which he hides, he trains on the gym regularly and lately had been sporting a bit of muscle here and there, but nothing too noticeable.

## Personality:

Joshua seems to be a rather simple person, he's quite considerate and kind with all of his friends and strangers that he may meet, he's overall a level headed person and can be a tad agitated depending on certain situations, he's usually quite brave but depending on the situation or person, he may be unwilling to do certain things, he puts his friends above himself and cares for all of them, even enemies at a time he may try to persuade to become their friends. Joshua has shown to be in severe distress after certain events in his life involving his friends, he had gained a bit of interesting sides and attitudes he may have with people, though usually rarely seen, he can be aggressive if others are, or if he's taunted, these seems to be signs of a possible development of his personality. In the end Joshua easily forgives people but even though he seems like a sweetheart and kind person, he can be a serious and powerful fighter at times, he doesn't fight unless engaged or provoked, though he can prove to be a dangerous foe when it comes to fighting due to his versatile abilities or tactics, he regularly trains and spars with close friends to keep up his training, he seems to have taken a liking to stand study and stand combat, mastering his own stand.

## Stand Ability:

### **Stand Ability:**

My Type is a semi sentient Mimicry Stand.

#### **Book Recording:**

The book that the stand has on his head (Named The Records, It can also be summoned without the stand, just the book and Ink pen, which the user automatically writes it himself. ) is able to store info and stand abilities into the book, the book has 3 pages and each page is a slot for one stand ability, the recording is activated through visual confirmation of the ability without summoning the book, and the user can remove one ability through simply ripping the page which grows back but in a blank state which can also be done without the book, ONLY the user can rip it, he can also use the abilities without the stand itself.

The Book is also indestructible, but the stand is not, and so isn’t the user.

Upon recording, the user automatically learns as much about the stand as the victim knows about its own stand, and It’s basic usage and It’s Substand counterpart, providing also info to allies and a direct opposite of the stand as means of attack.

For example: if a stand that can shoot or control fire is seen by the user or stand, Book Recording can be activated and the ability seen will be filled out in a page of the book, taking one slot.

The main stand only has Book Recording and It’s offensive capabilities lies on the substand.

### **Substand:**

Opposites Attract

Opposites Attract allows the user to almost figuratively or literally use and transform the copied ability in the opposite of Itself, also switching between the slots in the book (Takes 1 turn.)

Using the same example: If a stand that can shoot or control fire is copied, then the substand is used, It can be a few things, depending if the ability has a clear opposite or not, if it cannot have a clear opposite, It’ll have opposite characteristics, or a ability that is not the same as the copied ability.

(BASIC EXAMPLES)

In the example of shooting fire and controlling fire:

Shoot water and control water or an ability that would allow the stand to remove oxygen from the area, not being able to create any fire.

In the example of Water control, shooting water:

Ability to: turn water into ice, shoot icicles, control ice itself, etc.

In the example of Ice control, shooting ice:

Shoot fire, control fire, and burn things.

Example: Say there’s a stand which is very soft, rendering blunt attacks useless, but cutting attacks powerful, and It’s main ability is body softening, if the user of My Type records the ability and uses Opposite Attraction, the body softening ability may turn into body hardening or body sharpening.

And so on, but there are some stands of which the ability just cannot be affected by Opposites Attract, then the copy proves to be rendered useless, also the substand opposite doesn't have to be a complete opposite in itself, like a full literal opposite, it can be figurative or slightly changed as well, as long as there's Opposites in the substand result.

But if there’s no way to transform the ability into the opposite of itself, then It’s unusable.

Opposites Attract also can’t transform mimicry abilities into their opposites, which is impossible.

Development Abilities:

#### **Joker:**

An Ability where he can go all out and use all of his 3 slots for 4 turns, this is an extremely taxing ability and will make the user unable to use his stand afterwards for 1 turn.

#### **Found Myself:**

One (and only one) of Joshua's slots are able to choose between Opposite Copy or Basic Copy, but he cannot switch, it has to be chosen upon the moment It's copied.

### **Stand Weakness:**

The substand is the only way for the user to attack, and the stand abilities will carry out the weaknesses as well, the user can also only use one ability at time, so there’s no way for it to dual wield, just switch them, stand abilities, also some abilities are too hard to transform into opposites, so that’s one of the biggest counters.

### **Stand stats:**

Destructive Power: None (Depends on the original DP of the ability used. Maxes at B)

Range: D

Durability: B

Precision:B

Development Potential: E

Speed:A
