## Appearance

Sergio is a slightly older man, with slight wrinkles on his forehead. He has short, blonde hair that is segmented into a squared pattern. He has slightly bushy eyebrows, and wears green tinted prescription sunglasses. His face is usually covered with a protective, checkered face mask.

His uniform is a long deep blue robe, with a "fleur-de-lis", a symbol used in France, but is mainly known in Italy as the crest of Florence. He seems to wear a green undershirt or scrubs. Around his neck is usually a stethoscope.

In his youth, Sergio had parted blonde hair, green glasses, and wore a typical Japanese gakuran.

## Personality

Sergio is a very strict man, very stern and unaffectionate. He prides himself on the Zeppeli name, specifically the spin side of the family, and condemns the hamon side and anyone who practices it, and thinks they should cease using the name Zeppeli.

Sergio has been shown to be very resistant to changing how he feels and neglecting other people's emotions or opinions. He will often make drastic decisions without consulting anyone involved, like deciding to take Felix to Italy to train for a few years without consulting him at all. He acts more like a teacher to everyone, including his son and nephew.

## Background

Sergio was born in 2076, and learned to be proud of his name from a young age. By the age of 8 he began to learn spin. He worked with the Pinwheels, the Zeppeli gang along with his older brother, Lorenzo Zeppeli. and mastered everything his father had to teach him at the age of 17. He traveled to Italy to learn closer to the family roots, and practiced his own spin techniques.

When he returned to Electros, he found that Lorenzo had disbanded the Pinwheels, much to Sergio's annoyance. Sergio decided to go into the medical field, and went from area to area until he had been a part of nearly every medical field.

During Sergio's over 50 years of experience, he created spiral devices that can hold and create spin via artificial means, a feat long thought impossible. He named them Honey Rolls.

During the events of Severed Strings, Sergio achieved the golden ratio with the help of his Honey Rolls, and finally unlocked his full potential with his stand, Shoot to Thrill.

## Abilities

### Physical Abilities

Sergio has the ability to look into someone's eyes and figure out exactly where they're looking based on their eyes. He uses this to tell where they're going to attack from, or where their stands are when he could not see stands.

Sergio's glasses have the golden rectangle etched into them, allowing him to always find the golden ratio in objects that have it.

### Spin

Sergio's spin weapons are purple syringes filled with either water, or bleach. By spinning these syringes, he spins the liquid inside, and if it hits a target the liquid will be injected into them. This will cause whatever limb or part of the body was injected with the liquid to start spinning uncontrollably.

### Shoot to Thrill

Shoot to Thrill gives Sergio the ability to slow down the amount of time it takes for one object to get from point A to point B. It's the same amount of force over a longer period of time. Thus, if it effects a bullet, the bullet will appear to be moving slowly, or not at all, but touching it will still feel and give the same effect as if its going full speed.

## Trivia

* Sergio has told absolutely no one else how he accomplished the Honey Rolls. Unless someone worthy presents themselves he will die with the information of how he did it, making it feasibly impossible to ever make artificial spin again unless someone else comes along and wants to spend their whole life researching it.
* Sergio was never intended to gain a stand, throughout the entire series.
* Sergio's voice is Westley's bad Edwin impression.
* Sergio is heavily inspired by Wekapipo from Steel Ball Run, in design and abilities.
* Honey Rolls are named after the AC/DC song of the same name, because Westley thought it would be funny for a purely serious character to name the pinical creation of his life something very silly.
* Sergio was originally a main antagonist, in the place of Jacob A. D'Arby.
* Young Sergio's pose is based on Sakamoto from "Sakamoto Desu Ga?"
