Don't Fear The Reaper (JoJazo)

**Don't Fear The Reaper** (ドント ・フィアー ・ス ・リアパー Donto Fiaa Su Riapaa), also referred to as The Reaper (ス ・リアパー Su Riapaa) is the Stand of a major ally in JoJazo, Belinda Alejo.

## Appearance

As an infant, Belinda's Don't Fear The Reaper took no physical form, having only its ability on display. However, in the flash forwards, when she is 9, we see it to have developed into a full-fledged humanoid stand.

It stands at around 3ft in height, and has a colour scheme consisting of mostly varying blues as well as a consistent pinky-orange. In stead of a face, it has something resembling more of a helmet, with the glass part having a large, navy-blue target on it. To either side of it's head, it has long, wire-like flails as well as having white wires travelling up either forearm into piston wrists. All over it, has moon, heart and star symbols, with the most notable being the large start on it's chest. It's a heavily robotic looking stand and has two toes/fingers on either appendage that look more like blades.

## Personality

The Reaper is only shown to display actions that follow the direct desires and needs of Belinda, however it can be influenced by certain exterior forces like fear or being tickled that cause it to act on instinct.

When using its Psychic War ability, we see its battle cry to be "GODZILLAA~" (In reference to the Blue Öyster Cult single, Godzilla) as it shouts it during the implosion in a rather robotic voice.

## Abilities

The Reaper is a stand of physical close-range (3m), but can use it's primary ability at a range of 5m. It's not shown to be much stronger than the average adult but it's rather fast and precise, like Belinda's sister's stand, Mercy Mercy Me.

### Haul

Don't Fear The Reaper's single ability is what makes it so dangerous (especially when paired with it's limitless potential). The Reaper is capable of bringing objects, life forms and substances closer together. Originally, this began as simply pulling two things closer together, with usually the heaviest thing/the thing that's held down staying still while something else goes towards it. Distance between objects also effects which is pulled most. A variant of this usage was Belinda simply pulling something in a certain directing by using this ability on the object and the air at a certain distance.

Continuing the ability on, Don't Fear The Reaper began causing objects come closer together on the molecular level, meaning it can cause two touching objects to fuse (to an extent). We see this used to its full capabilities during the flashforwards, when Belinda is 9 years old.

Furthermore, the ability then went on to be able to bring the particles inside of an object closer together, effectively causing it to implode. During the flashforwards, we see her use this to completely crush enemies into themselves, which can get rather gory.

Because of its infinite potential, if it wasn't for it using Physic war, it probably would have developed more and more variations of this, like having atoms draw in subatomic particles form other atoms to change its element entirely.

#### Psychic War

Psychic War is an amalgamation of all three current developments of Don't Fear The Reaper and the endmost point of its development that we have seen. It is activated when the user is under immense stress. You see, it draws in every particle in existence, fuses them and then has them fully implode, leaving absolutely nothing left in its wake. This ability isn't limited by the constraints of linear time, and so not only does it cause there to be no future, but it also erases the past. Hell Freezes Over was only able to deactivate the stand ability because there is the smallest fraction of a second delay which allowed it to be deactivated, but not before the user of Hell Freezes Over's consciousness was sent back through time because much of time had already been erased.

## Trivia

* The Stand's pose is (loosely) based off a pose struck by Taylor Swift. Specifically, this one.
* The concept for The Reaper stemmed from the question of "What if a Stand had infinite potential?". Of course, this is a simple question and so I added the twist of "But that Stand was wielded by a infant/child?". This addition allowed for me to play around with the way others, good or bad, took advantage of her limitless nature.
