Inkstrike Shuffle

## Basic Information

Inkstrike Shuffle is a long-ranged stand, and it has a large number of abilities to assist it in combat and scouting. However, the Stand is relatively weak in direct hand-to-hand combat, as a trade-off for its great distance-based abilities. Its user is Maratby Argonaut (Mara AU) It appears similar to Heirophant Green, except Pink.

It has two forms: Base Form, and Full-Body Form.

## Abilities

### Coiled Body

As Inkstrike Shuffle's original appearance is not humanoid, but instead just a group of connected membranes, it is able to unravel itself into multiple long strings for multiple purposes such as acting like ropes, avoid damage without hurting Mara AU Herself, or weave out a network of sensitive strings that detects the enemy's movements.

As such, Mara AU can control how Inkstrike Shuffle unravels, creating strong ropes or unraveling them into invisible strings. A single string has the ability to sense when someone is touching it and can attack either automatically or at Mara AU's command. When a string is broken, Mara AU is unharmed, but attacking a sufficient number of them or Inkstrike Shuffle's main body will harm her.

### Marionette Control

Inkstrike Shuffle is capable of sliding its coils into a person's body, allowing Mara AU complete control of that person. Additionally, it can completely destroy the controlled being's air passage as it emerges, as well as the host's internal organs.

### Laser Volley

**Laser Volley** is a very powerful ability..Inkstrike Shuffle gathers energy into its body, causing it to glow bright pink before firing off a large amount of energy which takes the form of pink lasers. Before the blast is fired, a pink ink-like material is formed in Inkstrike Shuffle's hands, a byproduct of a large amount of energy the attack is giving off.

The blast's range and shotgun-like dispersion, along with its incredible destructive power and high speed, make Inkstrike Shufflean extremely capable combatant. Interestingly, it seems that though this blast is quite powerful, it doesn't seem taxing on either Mara AU or Inkstrike Shuffle.

Where this differs most from the Emerald splash is that it cannot be deflected. The lasers stop on any non-stand or organic object they hit, and will pierce organic material and stands alike. A class durability or higher do not get pierced, but instead, it would feel like being stabbed.

## Full-Body Form

In full-body form, Inkstrike Shuffle gains two new abilities it can use, but only in Full-Body Form.

In this form, the stand surrounds the user fully, the user becomes them. This allows Mara AU to directly use any of Inkstrike Shuffle's abilities, such as uncoiling Mara AU's own body, and its stats merge with the user too, giving Mara AU matching stats to Inkstrike Shuffle.

### Matter Absorption

Matter Absorption is Inkstrike Shuffle's most powerful ability. It is able to:

-Absorb and synthesize the mass, properties, and chemical makeup of matter to change their body into living matter in the shape of the user. The absorbed matter is as durable as the matter used to make it and can enhance their strength and durability.

-Extend absorbed matter to anything they are touching

-Repair objects composed of the same matter they have absorbed by synthesizing a liquid version of that substance and hardening it again.

-Manipulate whatever substance they are touching by absorbing it and morphing it into any shape or form.

-After absorbing matter, the user can manipulate their atomic structure to grow extensions on their body and shapeshift their limbs into various weapons, tools, and forms at will.

When the stand is desummoned or changes to Base Form, it will remember the user's state from this ability and it will be restored when Full-body Form next activates.

### Digital Vision

Digital Vision will read the mind of anyone the user is looking at. Desired information will be displayed in information boxes similar to a video game, that only the user can see.

The further away the target is, the slower the stand will be able to relay information from them, being able to read at full speed up to 2M, Half speed up to 5M and quarter speed up to 10M. Beyond 10M is 1/8th speed. Default speed is 15 seconds. The user is also able to select specific details to search for in the target's mind, such as their stand, name, age, etc. It can find anything Heaven's Door would be able to find, but cannot edit the text. Digital Vision will also display other information commonly found in a video game, such as a person's name/nickname floating above their head like a gamertag, a compass at the top of the screen to show which direction you are facing, how much ammo is left in your gun if you are holding one. Only the user can see these projections.
