Galileo Amato-Fairstar

## Personality:

Galileo is the odd man out of the Starlight Trio. He’s the youngest of the group and was adopted several years after Nico and Isaac. This means that while he’s close with his brothers he’s not quite as close as the two of them are with each other. He’s always been more of the quiet one. He often has doubts about the work and ethics of the things he has to do for his father, however like most things he keeps this to himself. He’s very confident in his own capabilities and his stand though he isn’t one to brag. Though he won’t admit it he loves combat and the thrill of battle and enjoys finding strong opponents who can give him a real challenge. He has a soft side and doesn’t enjoy causing pain to others, however due to his father and his brothers he always keeps it to himself.

## Stand Ability:

Ballroom Blitz is a strange stand with a few abilities.

### **Ability One**

The First ability is a sphere of pure nothingness. While this ability at the surface sounds very dangerous and powerful it's a utility ability more than anything else. The ability appears as a perfectly round, pitch black orb. This orb can range in size from the size of a marble to the size of a person. This ball can be freely controlled by Ballroom Blitz. This ball can occupy any space and is not stopped or slowed by physical objects. Whatever space this ball occupies simply ceases to exist. However, this effect is only temporary and once the ball moves anything removed is immediately returned. Any living thing trapped inside this ball will not be harmed as soon as the ball moves. This makes the ball useless for direct attacks but great for defense or utility. Its other property is any moving object that enters the orb can either be halted until the orb moves or pass through unaffected, this distinction is up to the user.

### **Ability Two**

The second ability of Ballroom Blitz is the stand’s ability to place flat images of shapes on any surface. These images can be any shape, square, circle, star, whatever the user desires. Like the smoke they have no direct offensive measures, however the stand is able to extend the height of these shapes, basically turning them into 3D objects that extend out of their original point. Think a circle turning into a cylinder. This ability can also be used on shapes not created by the stand as long as they are in range. The shapes can also slide along surfaces as long as they stay in range. While the stand itself has practically no combat abilities these objects are extended with immense speed and force, capable of dealing immense damage if they hit straight on

### **Ability Three**

The final ability is for properties. When Ballroom Blitz generates shapes on objects those extended shapes can either choose to maintain their base qualities or take on the properties of the object they are extending out of. Things like temperature, hardness, weight, solidity can all be mimicked onto the object. If an extended shape with mimicked properties extends enough and touches another object it can transfer the properties to that object as well or combine properties across objects.

Example: Ballroom Blitz places a circle on a stone floor and extends it into a cylinder. It can choose for that cylinder to be made of stone and once it comes into contact with say a wooden roof it can transfer the properties of stone into that roof.

### **Stand Weakness:**

The stand itself relies entirely on ingenuity and creativity of its user. It has no direct combat abilities and cannot defend its user from a direct close combat attack. Along with that for whatever reason the stand cannot create or extend any shapes on anything blue.

## Backstory:

Back in the 80s a man named Johannes Fairstar moved to New York city, intent on founding a research and development facility. He had some mild success, however his foundation was overshadowed by the dramatic rise of the Rogers Foundation, who rapidly became famous for their discoveries in Italy relating to the ancient Romans and Etruscan's. The Starlight Institute as it was called, was rapidly pushed to the side and was unable to compete with their rival, however the world of science always has room for more research, though not always in the spotlight. The next several decades were spent steadily growing the company, with the primary research being into archaeological sites in Germany and Eastern Europe. By the early 2000s the foundation was doing well and Johannes had managed to make quite a fortune for himself and his partners. However, Johannes wasn't the most honest man and he still desired to get ahead, he desired to rise even higher in the world. By the early 90s he had managed to catch whispers of strange arrows discovered in Italy by the Rogers Foundation which could grant incredible power to any pierced by them. Through his connections he was able to find one, though it took him the greater part of a decade. The power he unlocked was exactly what he wanted, the ability to read potential in investments, people, and even other stands. It was ideal, and he used this to take his company even further and rise even higher. Still eager for more and drunk on power he came across an idea. While in Germany working on dig rights for a set of old ruins he happened to come across a group of city boys from a local orphanage, one of the them, a 4 year old boy named Nicky, gave off not only a stand potential reading, but one far higher than he had ever detected in all his years. He realized this was yet another chance to climb higher. He adopted the boy and began to raise him as his own son, one he would turn into an asset for his own personal use

Nicolaus was adopted in 2010 at the age of 4. Two years later in 2012 another boy, Isaac, from England was adopted for the same reasons, he was 5 at the time. Finally a third boy, Galileo, was adopted at the age of 7 in 2016. These 3 boys were raised as almost mercenaries who could be used by the Starlight Institute for research into stands and security on any important research operations, as well as any personal work for their father.

Galileo was born in the rural countryside of Italy. His father had died in service before he was born, and his mother raised him alone. However he wouldn’t remember much of her as she was dead from cancer by the time he was 3. He was moved to an orphanage where he spent the next 4 years. He was never very social with the other kids and mostly kept to himself. When he was 7 his life changed again as he was adopted by Johannes Fairstar, the head of the Starlight Institute. Here he met his two new brothers, Nico and Isaac, who were also adopted by Johannes. The three of them spent the next decade together. Now as stated these boys weren’t just adopted to enjoy life with a rich father, but rather they were adopted to be raised as tools for the company. They were to be used as mercenaries and muscle, as enforcers for their father’s research and other operations. Galileo was the youngest of the group and the last to be adopted, however he adapted quickly and caught up to his brothers in skill as a fighter. He attended private tutoring rather than a real school and rarely interacted with those outside the institute or his family. In modern day he ‘graduated’ his father’s training program and became a full asset for the company, which he continues to do today.
