## Stand Stats

"How does one feel remorse for a grain of sand? How does one cry for a single blink? Your words, they attempt to move me, yet they do not." - Soul Survivor

Soul Survivor is a posthumous Stand who can freely bind to corpses to switch user.

## Appearance

Soul Survivor is a humanoid Stand. Parts of its body are covered in metallic designs, most prominently the arms and chest. Over the shoulders overall straps hold up a section of plating with the word "SOUL" prominently displayed. On each leg is a plate with "SURVIVOR". Upon the Stand's head is a small power plant directly in front of a large tombstone and cross. Soul Survivor has demonic qualities, including pointed ears and wings. A number of floating sections resembling scraps of wing float next to the Stand's head and hips. Flanking the mouth are strips resembling tears. Soul Survivor's primary colors are cyan, green and blue.

## Personality

Soul Survivor is a sentient Stand. They are apathetic to much of the world around it, even beyond caring about gender due to having lived dozens of lives. Soul Survivor feels nothing for humanity, struggling to care for what they see as specks far below that will inevitably be extinguished with their miniscule lives.

Soul Survivor wishes to see humanity's end. They do not care how long this takes, as they know they will still be around when it happens. Humanity is fickle like that, and will inevitable end itself without much effort on their part. They find any human who acts against this notion curious.

## Background

Soul Survivor was the stand of upwards of twenty different people.

### Users of Soul Survivor

Not much is known about Soul Survivors previous users as of Episode 6.

#### Alissi Romanov

Soul Survivor manifested as the Stand of Alissi Romanov when he was still very young. The Stand was unable to aid its user during the Chernobyl Incident, and could not prevent his death, but was spotted under the rubble by Giuseppe Kujo. After Alissi's death, Soul Survivor bound itself to a new user and resurrected them, becoming their Stand until exchanging again. The Stand swapper user over 20 times during the next century and a half.

#### Tom Filiri

One of their users was Tom Filiri.

Tom ended up testifying as a witness in Grace's trial, revealing the presence of some sort of necromancy to those who had initially defeated Grace, who had chosen to aid her. Tom Filiri was later at a hotel that became the battleground between two serial killers, the Corvus and the Spiral Spectre.

#### Joan Crawford

The Stand resurrected Joan Crawford, a child who had been shot by an opium addict. To her Soul Survivor was her imaginary friend, Clive.

#### Giuseppe Ouseph Kujo

After the incident at the Shining Star Hotel, Giuseppe Ouseph Kujo became the user of Soul Survivor in an act of selfless sacrifice he gained the stand's respect. Partially.

## Ability

Soul Survivor has the ability to raise the dead.

This ability is not limited to humans, but extends to all types of living creatures. It can do so in two distinct ways, either as a thrall [Haunted Savior], or as its user [There Walked a Lonely Man].

### [There Walked a Lonely Man]

If it resurrects them as its user, Soul Survivor will inherit their memories and the user won't be irradiated. Once Soul Survivor's resurrected user has died once, they may not be resurrected again.

### [Haunted Savior]

If they are not revived as the user, they become a braindead radioactive corpse, completely under the control of Soul Survivor and their user. Any thralls of Soul Survivor are completely braindead, and cannot be resurrected by its primary ability to become their user.

There are five stages to the radiation created by Soul Survivor, the radiation stage increasing each time a victim makes contact with one of the irradiated corpses:

* **1 Rad** - no effect, feels weird and buzzing
* **2 Rads** - Sick to your stomach, -3 to Physical Attacks
* **3 Rads** - Induced Vomit on first hit, -5 to Physical Attacks, must roll Bravery vs. Universe each turn to keep stand summoned
* **4 Rads** - Threatened to pass out - roll bravery vs. universe to not feint when effect.  Counts as a critical injury, if not cured, you will PERISH anyways.
* **5+ Rads** - kills you instantly.  Savior mechanics against the attack rolls.

Soul Survivor changes based on their users, and gains a **Learning Point** for every new user. This Learning Point's ability vanishes whenever they change users.

## Trivia

* Soul Survivor is based on the Blue Oyster Cult song "Sole Survivor". Tali thought it'd be really funny if the double-meaning of the phonetic pronunciation was used to make a pun for the stand's ability.
* Soul Survivor is the alternate universe version of Joan Crawford, a stand that was only mentioned in original Star Road Now.
* Soul Survivor's fight was originally going to take place in an **airport** until Armon and Rohan approached Tali about the Corvus vs. Spectre fight, in which case Tali moved Survivor there.
