Elijah Rose

Elijah Rose is a deuteragonist in Jade Jam, and is a major ally to Jonah Bijou.

Elijah arrives in Seattle, trying to find stand users, and help them control them for the better. He joins Jonah's group after a numerous amount of battles together.

Elijah gained his stand when he was in high school, and now helps younger stand users control theirs, using his powerful Stone Rose

## Appearance

Elijah is short for his age, only standing at 165 cm (5'5"). He has a average to slight build, and very physically fit. He is most recognizable for his pink hair, which is unkempt, and shoulder length. He has piercing green eyes, and usually wears deep pink lipstick and eyeliner. On Elijahs cheekbone, a scar remains from his high school years. He always has a pink and white striped scarf around his neck. He wears a dark green jacket, and dark green pants.

## Personality

Elijah is a good person at heart. He has an incredible sense of emotion, like his stand entails, but never really shows any. This is caused from a severe case of repressed trauma, survivor guilt, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as diagnosed by Nikola Kessler. He seems distant and not very sociable. He can be harsh some times, but overall manages to keep his cool. The only time he can never hold his emotions in is when someone says something negative about his height. He is very insecure about his height, and will beat the living shit out of anyone who says something bad. This ranges from "Here do you need some help" when he can't reach something, to "You gnome, you. You're so short you have to crane your neck to see Koichi lmao", in which Elijah will not rest until that person is in the ER.

## Abilities

### Stand

*Main Article:* Stone Rose

Elijah became a stand user when he was 14, and wields the powerful Pink Sunset. His stand represents the course of his emotional state. Stone Rose can control Vibe, which is the culmination of your soul and emotion. This can be used to change your emotion, or overall ability to do certain things. Elijah, when he was younger, was never good at controlling his feeling. He could never hold in his passions, and was very prone to outbursts of emotion. His stand, at the time, had a Precision of D, and a Speed of A. He was able to release Vibe in a toxic way, leading to incredible destruction and harm to others, including his friends. This changed after his junior year. Elijah, after suffering through fighting enemy after enemy, was then able to control his Vibe more steadily. His Precision rises to C, and his speed becomes a B. He is more in control of his power, and can use this to his advantage.

## Early Life (1964 - 1981)

Elijah Rose was born on September 9, 1964, in New York City. He grew up in a modest neighborhood in Manhattan, with his parents, and older sister, Beatrice. He was very curious as a child, and he was incredibly attentive. This usually got him into trouble around the neighborhood. When he was 14 years old, he and his friends went to the fair in town that was held every summer. He wanted to impress a girl he knew, Alex, to see if she liked him. So, he managed to climb up the Ferris wheel, while holding her hand the entire time. When the got to the top, he summoned up his courage to ask her, but before he did, something felt sharp in his stomach. He found an arrow that was lodged in his stomach, and it was glowing. Another one was shot into Alex's arm, and she almost fell off. Elijah reached out, and awakened his stand. Stone Rose saved Alex from certain death, and the fair had to be shut down. He awoke in the hospital to a small, floating ghost next to him, mimicking his every move. Thus, Elijah became a stand user. For the next 4 years, he learned how to control this "stand", and met a group of people similar to him in his junior year...

## Junior Year: Elijah's Mission (1981-1982)

In Elijah's junior year of high school, his school had a growing number of disappearances that no one could track, not even the police. Elijah managed to uncover that
