Heart-Shaped Box

**Heart-Shaped Box** is the stand of Jacob Novoselic. It's the first stand in the series that is mostly used for practical uses rather than for combat.

## Appearance

Heart-Shaped Box is slender, moreso resembling a human skeleton. It has a bone-like humanoid structure, covered head to toe in white. His face is simplistic, having a few lines that run down and up the hollow black and simple eyes of his. His shoulders feature a few box-like pads that can shoot out anesthetics. They can also retract a tube that can be used to stab a person, to deliver anesthetics right into them.

His chest resembles what looks like the trapdoor of a furnace, or the visor of a knight's helmet. The rest of its torso is comprised of a spine of sorts, which connects to the shallow and tiny hips. Coated in black, that and the bands that wrap around the limbs. Out of them, a glass-like protective surface can form, acting as a defense mechanism, and a shallow coat of armor.

## Personality

Like most stands, Heart-Shaped Box doesn't have any special emotions of its own. It isn't sentient at all, and is forever obedient of Jacob's commands. It is used for organ transplants, aiding in Novoselic's "experiments".

Unable to speak, it only does so through its stand cry.

*Heart-Shaped Box,* the song it is named after, has a pretty convoluted meaning. Он писюрылый On one hand, it breaks down different medical terms and uses them to express different expressions. For example, the phrase "I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black" is, in Kurt Cobain's words, "the most convoluted route any songwriter undertook in pop history to say 'I love you'". It would make a lot of sense that someone like Novoselic, with difficulty in explaining himself, would refer to medical terms, something he knows of so well.

## Abilities

Heart-Shaped Box is a close ranged stand, and one that isn't particularly used for combat. Its range is incredibly small, only acting at about 2-3 meters. Its Destructive Power is pretty small, but it boasts some impressive precision (on par or even surpassing Peace Of Mind).

Although not used for combat, its practical uses make for a pretty powerful stand. As it manifested at a very young age, Novoselic has a vast amount of experience in using it. The speed stat, while not very impressive, is enough to make short work of problems when paired with its expert-level precision.

* **Super Speed:** As it is ranked B, it is nothing to scoff at. It's paired incredibly well with the precision, its usage being very handy against most opponents.
* **Enhanced Eyesight:** With Novoselic being a doctor and also a surgeon, it makes perfect sense why this stand would have one of the best precision stats in the entire series. It boasts a keen eye and is able to carry out procedures without any mishaps or any issues.
* **Ora Ora Rush**. Like most humanoid stands in the series, it can launch into a barrage of punches. With its speed being high enough, it can make up for its lack of strength and durability.
* **Organ Transmutation.** The stand's bread and butter is its application in the operating room. When two humans (alive or dead but not discomposed) are within its range, it can use its ability to switch one organ to another. For example, it can give someone the kidney of the person closest to it, and so on so forth. If you have someone with a bad liver, just switch it out for someone else's.
* **Organ Replacement.** Heart-Shaped Box's scariest ability. While taking a lot of willpower and mental strength to pull off, it can be devastating. Like replacing someone's arm with their leg, or someone's eye with their tongue, if used perfectly, it can be devastating. The high precision stat the stand comes for makes this a truly terrifying experience.
