The Three Degrees is the Stand of Gelato, featured in the 3 different manga one shot series Gelatos Mystery, Gelato Chan Goes to Italy and The Deadly Duo

## Stand Stats

### Poetential

B

The Three Degrees hide in objects and then shoot at there foes with sniper rifles with varying degrees of size and speed depending on the object used

## Appearance

3 soldiers with a body of a blue metal alloy with engraved horizontal lines covering them, in some places its a smooth pattern.
This makes them look slightly fleshy

## Abilities

### Object hiding

The Three Degrees hide in objects and gives them a "heat" effect when they want to shoot they will point out there guns out of the object but to avoid being seen they camouflage there guns with the object and angle there guns in such a way not to be seen without closer inspection. When they leave a object different limbs/parts of there bodies will come out 1 at a time, when they enter a object it is a similar effect of someone quickly sucking in hanging spit in to the object, although this is only shown when the user want it to meaning it can secretly and quickly enter a object to surprise a enemy.

### Firing variation/mechanics

Depending on the size of the object that each Soldier hide in the size and speed of the bullets/guns will vary with a bigger object having a bigger and so more powerful shot but it will also be slower and vice versa. When outside of an object the bullets are physical things and so they dont have infinite ammo, but when they fire the bullets it becomes a part of the stand meaning if you physically damage the bullet in motion or the area between the gun and the bullets you will damage the stand and so its user. The Three Degrees could manipulate its bullets or load different kinds of rounds before firing to fire that specific ammo.

### Different bullet types

The Three Degrees has multiple different bullets it can use to strike its enemy's, these have different properties and ability's. These bullets are made by The Three Degrees by modifying them by hand.

* Defence piercing, this would pierce through any stands defence and lower it to a D ie if one of these bullets were to hit Star Platinum it would affect Star Platinum as if he had a D in defence. The only exception of this is that if someone has a D defence already it would be reduced to a E and if someone had a S in defence it would be reduced to a C. If a stands defence comes from something like hard armour ie Jitterbug the defence reduction would still apply but because of the armour the bullet would most likely not pierce much of the armour therefore not doing a lot, but Sticky Fingers armour would still be affected because it is not strong enough.
* Armour piercing, this is specialised to go through hard surfaces like armour or rock ie Jitterbug but do not have any other real properties apart from basically just being quite stronger/a lot stronger at piercing armour in specific, ie The Three Degrees shoots Jitterbug and a full piercing wouldn't happen but much more significant damage would be done to it than using a normal bullet. If Jitterbug does Basalt Off a much less significant hole would be made but one would still be made.
* Phase, these are a lot more fast and can "phase" through 1 single solid object with contact on there trajectory so this makes deflecting or blocking a attack very hard as it can then phase through whatever was used to do this. Only one of these bullets can be used at once with a short cooldown.
* Rust, this is a small tacitly rusted bullet with concentrated C. tetani bacterium when one of these bullets pierces you C .tetani will be laced inside of your open wound which means that in 5-10 minutes you will start feeling the below symptoms, the more bullets hit you the the more severe these symptoms will be.

1. Stiffness of the neck, jaw, and other muscles, often accompanied by a sneering, grinning expression
2. Difficulty swallowing
3. Fever
4. Sweating
5. Uncontrollable spasms of the jaw (lockjaw) and neck muscles
6. Painful, involuntary contraction of other muscles (this in some cases if strained enough has the potential to break your back with force)
7. Stiffness of the neck jaw, and other muscles
8. Almost demonic sneering, grinning expression

* Smoke Round, this creates a thick, dense cloud of smoke that roughly covers 5 meters in every direction and will spread out fast. it is near impossible to see stuff from 1 meter away, the smoke will last 15 minutes and will be the favourite colour of who is looking at it
* Dart, this looks like a typical blowpipe syringe dart but in incased in thick heavy, metal. This is a slow dart but to deflect it you would need to hit it hard because of its metal casing.when the dart injects its contents into you will feel normal at first but after 2 minutes you will start to feel these symptoms:

1. Lower your inhibitions
2. Hurt your motor skills
3. Distort your sense of time
4. Heighten your senses (colours might seem brighter and sounds might seem louder)
5. Gives you feelings of anxiety, fear, or panic
6. You get high (lots of dopamine starts to be unleashed and gives you euphoric, relaxed feelings. This will combo with symptoms number 6 to switch you in and out of both symptoms occasionally)
7. Intensifies Alcohols effects
8. increases heart rate
9. May ease some pain
10. Can lead to wanting more after the effects subside

* Wax, this is a relatively harmless bullet that releases yellow warm wax that acts similarly to glue in all directions sticking to walls and roofs. If a enemy comes in contact with it they will not be fully stuck but it will stick to them, it will be hard to remove and will pull anyone trying to leave by force back to it
* Rocket, this is a rocket that is the size of a mans forearm and capable of blowing a large hole in a wall, in order to fire this all 3 of The Three Degrees must hold it for 2 seconds in physical form at what they want to shoot at. the rockets flight path is chaotic and imprecise so it has near no uses in battle. The Three Degrees have very little of these stored as ammunition (around 3) and are not used often because of all there problems. The Rocket also does not travel very fast.

Notes: Smoke round, Wax, Dart and Rust are all near harmless physically to a person, The Three Degrees can convert any type of normal bullet in to one of these special bullets (apart from Rocket, Dart, Rust all of which are in low numbers with Rocket as the far lowest), unless stated otherwise all of these bullets travel at 2000 mph, the Wax, Rocket and Smokes ability activate with contact and so blocking them to stop it from happening will not work, the Rust needs to penetrate your skin and some of your body, the Dart needs to inject its fluids.

## Trivia

* Combos well with the stand: (Sorbets stand)
* Despite not often being used as it cannot fire it does a have life size physical form out side of objects that Gelato can use to do basic actions
* Its name comes from the musical artist The Three Degrees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Three\_Degrees
