### Debut

Desert Blood

Brandon Davis is a descendant of Asian immigrants who came during the Gold Rush of 1848. His father was an all-American man and his mother was the daughter of the immigrants, who married 7 years after they first met. Brandon was shown to be a very sociable kid until he was of 12 years of age when his Stand began to manifest. First, it was little things, like talking to spiders and scorpions, but then it grew into seemingly telekinetic control of objects, which was really just his "imaginary friend" grabbing them for him. By the time he was 14, the stand was fully manifested, but nobody could see it except his dying grandfather, who was also a stand user. Because of this, the two were considered insane, and his grandfather in particular as senile and getting too advanced in age. When he turned 18, Brandon was removed from his family, forced to move to another city, which just so happened to be San Francisco. He took on the nickname "Brave Dave" after using his stand as a kind of vigilant force against criminals in the region. Nobody in San Fran knows that he's a Stand User.

## Abilities

### **Hamon**

*Main article: Hamon*

Brave Dave's partial Asian heritage granted him access to his grandfather's teachings of the Ripple, which he refers to by its true name. His most effective Hamon abilities are listed.

* Overdrives
	+ Sunlight Yellow - A basic charge of Hamon that, when concentrated, lets out a burst of energy capable of shocking opponents and killing vampires, like Marcus
	+ Scarlet - An overdrive that pressurizes all the energy to a single point and heats it up to levels that can burn normal individuals and kill vampires
	+ Turquoise Blue - The most powerful overdrive, which spreads the Hamon of the person into the water droplets in the air, which conduct it quite easily, and spreads it out over a massive area with incredible destruction. Only highly skilled practitioners can
* Ripple Flame - By letting Hamon flow gently around the user's fingers and holding it near a lit fire, the user can create a natural torch which mimics fire's motion and luminosity while omitting the harmful burning on themselves, simultaneously being able to roast small objects like nuts.
* Healing - Hamon, as life energy, naturally has the ability to heal wounds. The better the user, the more powerful the Hamon, which can allow wider healing capabilities up to limited regeneration.

### **Stand - Sundance Kid**

*Main Article: Sundance Kid*

Brave Dave's stand, Sundance Kid, allows him to use magic to control arachnids, transform themselves or others into arachnids, mimic arachnid traits, and summon/create arachnids spirits and/or arachnids (although this ability hasn't been used in perhaps a decade). They can communicate with arachnids, borrow their senses, possess them, and otherwise use arachnids as extensions of themselves

Sundance Kid also possesses an evolved form, gained when being pierced by the Stand Arrow a second time, called Sundance Ambiguous which allows him to reshape his neural patterns into that of arachnids, giving him better arachnopathy and even the ability to summon hordes of them capable of overrunning small armies.

## History

### **Desert Blood**

*Main article: Desert Blood*

A year after his parent's assassination, Brave Dave went venturing out the United States on horseback, where he came across the town of Moab. There, he met fellow Stand Users and friends Midas, Tomie Fervor, Def Leppard, and Nathan Lee, marshal of the town. Coincidentally, the President of the United States, Haruno Shiobana, was travelling across each town, spreading his message of how he planned to rebuild and restore the South after the events of the tragic Civil War. However, he was nearly assassinated by former Confederate General Diavolo Una, who possessed the stand King Crimson, able to skip time. As a result, associate and friend of President Shiobana, Bruno Bucciarati, tasked Marshal Nathan Lee to gather a posse of individuals and track down Diavolo, of which Brandon Davis was a part of, along with the aforementioned individuals.

During their escapade, Brandon began a romantic attraction to the wild and pretty Tomie Fervor, which he initially brushed off as a bad idea. However, after an encounter with the stand American Idiot, who could alter gravity's flow, he realized he truly *did* fall in love with her. However, after confessing this to her, they both agreed to stay away from each other to air out their heads. He had gone outside at night for a walk, only to be jumped by crooks and beaten up, left bleeding out all night, unable to use Hamon to his rescue. In the morning, Def Leppard discovered him and took him to a clinic, where he was patched up and law unconscious for three days. He spent those three days in a kind of mindscape with his grandfather, furthering his Hamon ability until he was powerful enough to wake up. Soon after, he was visited by Tomie, and the two finally agreed that they loved each other. Brandon had Def buy and bring them an Italian dinner, which he owed Tomie anyway, and ate it in his hotel room, having sustained many injuries. After a scuffle involving Midas and his multiple personalities, Brave Dave was back on his feet.

The continuation of the events led the posse to the Devil's Palm, where Brandon received a natural upgrade to his stand, making it more powerful, faster, and stronger. They were too late, however, and General Una managed to achieve Requiem, which allowed him to alter the timeline to his liking. Brandon, along with the rest of the posse, travelled to Washington DC where they could get to "President" Una, with the help of a now dethroned Shiobana, who still had memory of the previous timeline, just like the posse. Together, Brandon and Tomie managed to find Una in the Supreme Court building, only to be *heavily* outmatched by him, Brandon specifically getting punched through the abdomen, almost dying. However, Una was killed by Midas, having resolved his disorder, and the timeline reset all the way back to before they saw Una at Devil's Palm.

### **Broken Grounds**

Six months after the end of Desert Blood, Brandon is living back in California with girlfriend Tomie Fervor and best friend Def Leppard, seeing as they have no home, and they were close enough to him to be wiling to share living space. The group was living together more or less for the reason of finding out about Def's true identity and past, from which he sparked small memories here and there, the most notable of which was a symbol that originated from Italy. After a light scuffle with some of the criminals in San Francisco, the group headed out to New York by train where they would pay for a voyage, having saved up money, to Italy. However, they all encountered a pair of enemy Stand Users being Prosciutto and Pesci, with their Stands, The Grateful Dead and Beach Boy. When the group defeated them, they were given keys with dates written on them. Nobody knew what to do with them until they had the strange and bold idea to plug it into Def's head, since their all seemed focused on keeping Def from getting to Italy. The key was revealed to "unlock" memories from Def's head, bringing more of his amnesia back. This process was repeated for numerous enemies as they traveled by boat, across land, and finally to the doorstep of the enemy they were so hell-bent on finding.

While he was traveling, Dave re-encountered his old friends Midas and Nate who he met during their escapades searching for Diavolo, and was excited to have them back. Nate had misinterpreted Dave's letter for going to Italy as a honeymoon vacation when he, in fact, wasn't married to Tomie yet. Either way, Dave had a conversation with Nate about how he was confident that Tomie was the one, and revealed that he'd already bought a ring and planned to propose in Italy.

When Dave and his friends, now having all the members of his original posse with him, faced off against **Teodoro Lombardi,** the man who stole Def's memories with his uncle's hand-me-down stand **Whitesnake,** he used it against Dave to lock and unlock certain memories from his past, making him turn on Tomie, injuring her severely. Teodoro took this chance to reveal confidently that Dave had planned to propose to Tomie, certain that his victory was assured and that Dave would kill her. However, as Teodoro lost to Def in their own final battle, Dave was free of his control, and began re-installing his memories, but while Tomie was still unconscious, in his hands he held one last key, labeled "love" in which was the reason he loved Tomie. However, realizing his actions when under the control of Whitesnake, Dave was doubtful that Tomie would love him after his attack, so he left the broken engagement ring on the ground and ran off to return to the States by himself.

As he left for the States on another ship, Midas followed suit, quietly. Dave held the key in his hand, and finally, truly, gave up, tossing the key into the sea. However, Midas used his stand to catch the key and hold onto it, hoping one day he could reinstall it into Dave's mind. Meanwhile, Tomie began heartbreakingly searching for him, and when she was told the news, went into a sadder, more depressive state, looking everywhere for him. After a while, Def decided to stay and live in Italy while the rest of the posse returned to America, Tomie in particular living back in Dave's old home.

### **Shifting Sands**

Dave had spent the next year traveling the states, looking for leads and answers regarding the gang that killed his parents, but losing more and more of himself in the process. His good deeds and antics, however, left a trail of clues for everyone to follow, and once Sundance Kid began fading from his tether point on the figurine Dave gave Tomie, she knew she needed to act quickly. Luckily, most of the original posse was still on duty in an attempt to find Dave, so gathering together was nothing difficult.

They traveled from everywhere in the States until reaching Oregon territory, up in a settlement called "Seattle" where Dave, now dubbed "Jack Franklin" resided. They got into a scuffle with a man by the name of **Doctor Dmitri Skopanique, or Disco Panic** and his electromagnetikinetic stand **Death of a Bachelor**, who was controlling Dave and exploiting the missing key. The group won, but Disco Panic got away, leaving them all alone, Midas planted the key into Dave's head, and his true self returned, elated to see his friends, and most importantly Tomie. He led her to his room and proposed to her officially, given a yes for an answer. He also presented her with a beautiful dress and custom-made suit styled after her clothes. He revealed he came into possession of one the five Stand Arrows during his travels. After some lighter shenanigans involving an introduction to a vampire named Marcus, an enemy Stand user whose stand was made of water, finding another arrow at a carnival which caused the evolution of the first evolution of The Viator, Dave began a trek with the posse back down to California to stop Disco Panic from his **plans**.

As they traveled, they encountered more enemies, one of which was quite scarring to Dave. The nameless user was an experiement. His Stand was named **Hall of Mirrors**, but was pierced a second time by a Stand Arrow to become **House of Mirrors**, which was capable of creating real-life counterparts down to movement, attitude, and gender, of the enemies it was facing. The man could also transform himself into one of the copies himself, and it was Tomie he chose to copy. However, after she was getting beaten senseless, Dave arrived on the scene having finished off his own clone, a representation of Jack Franklin, and began laying down his protective hate on the man, killing him. This was the first and only murder Dave has ever committed. After some consolation, they continued their trek into California.

At this time, they read a letter sent to the Stand User they defeated from Disco Panic, outlining how they were looking for the Stand Arrows that could make Stand Users, and also the Requiem Arrow, which was designed in particular to evolve Stands into Requiem. The Arrow wouldn't be found for the course of the journey, but the gang as well as the posse came to the conclusion that a Stand could be significantly evolved if even pierced a second time with a standard arrow, and it was for this reason, Dr. Panic didn't want Dave to get his hands on it, having seen the potential for his Stand. Albeit reluctant, Dave initially allowed for Marcus to have his light-controlling Stand be pierced a second time, evolving it to be able to give him lightspeed movements and reactions. When they got to California, they realized what was happening. Disco Panic had begun forcible creation of multiple Stand Users to create chaos in California so he could rule it all, and it was up to the posse to stop him

After getting through some heavy defenses, they made it to Disco Panic, but he had already evolved his stand. He could create psychic links into his enemies and prevent their movements, attempting to rid his enemies for good. However, the group still had their Arrow in their possession. Dave swiftly thought and got it so he could intercept every electric beam coming from Panic's head, but the result was having all five links down onto his own brain. He and Panic were locked in mental combat. If Panic let go, the posse would beat down on him, but if he stayed put Dave's friends would give him the arrow. It ended up that Dave was pierced a second time, gaining Sundance Ambiguous, which allowed him to change his mental brainwaves into arachnid brainwaves, which prevented Panic's control on him, as well as being able to control thousands of arachnids at once to disable the remaining Stand Users.

After a while back in California, Tomie and Dave were finally married.

## Trivia/Amendments

1. Brave Dave's late grandfather is both a stand and Hamon user as well as very deeply involved in ancient magic passed down for generations. Dave has inherited Hamon from his grandfather but wasn't trained enough with it to do incredible things [like holding a glass upside down and keeping the water in]. Since the events of Desert Blood, his Hamon has improved to a higher proficiency.
2. There has been a small wooden figurine possessing traits of all arachnids passed down these generations allowing for mental contact between vast distances when no other form of communication works. It is said that if given this, you are either special, trusted, or somehow reliable in some way. He has given this figure to Tomie Fervor.
3. His stand, unbeknownst to most people, is actually a kind of spiritual heirloom, manifesting in every progressing member of his clan. The stand is always re-colored and re-named each time, although seen in his backstory, sometimes it skips generations if the fighting spirit isn't strong enough
4. Sundance Kid loves sushi.
5. These sequences of events outline Jack Franklin becoming Dave again
6. Brave Dave is currently involved in a romantic relationship with Tomie Fervor, having been married for 15 years.
