## Appearance

Payton is a lean teen of indeterminate gender and slightly shorter stature. They have somewhat blemished senna coloured skin, bruised knuckles and a sharp cheekbone structure. Their long messy hair, auburn at the top and fading into light brown at the bottom, covers a majority of their face, being pulled down over the right side, over their mouth and nose, and resting draped back over their left shoulder. As a result, only their left eye, cheek and ear are generally visible normally. They have thinner, narrowed eyes, and appear to display heterochromia iridis, or segmental heterochromia, as the majority of their iris appears blue, but a section at the bottom appears gold. They have a gaunt cheek-line and attached earlobes with no piercings. They are almost always wearing a purple beret, or possibly beanie, in which they hold several stolen items, and are almost always holding a knife that cannot be removed from their hand unwillingly, their favourite being a clip point bowie knife. Though in their initial appearances, they appeared in ragged clothes, torn trousers and worn shoes, they now appear more often in trousers and shoes that may be a little dirty, but are in good condition. However, they retain a common habit of wearing print t-shirts, often white ones, which are printed with comedic or random phrases or sayings on them. These may be vulgar. They are noted to have often toted around a black hiking backpack in the past.

## Personality

Payton is known as a chaotic and impulsive individual. They are shown to not think of- or care about- the consequences of their actions, and are prone to making the same mistake once or twice more before seeming to learn their lesson. They have a loose system of morals, finding no fault in crimes ranging from misdemeanour assault to petty theft to perjury, assuming they find the circumstances right. They are seen as very tough and fearless, yet also described as reckless, impudent, careless and even petulant at times. Noted for having poor self-preservation and a strong territorial attachment to their hat. They are a kleptomaniac with an urge to steal things from others for any reason ranging from "they deserved it" to "because I could" and are thusly seen as untrustworthy and disloyal. This is furthered by their reputation for frequently threatening and 'mugging' people, although they're rarely an actual threat. They are fierce, aggressive and prideful upon first meeting, but hate being called out or 'thwarted' and often drop the act fairly early on. However, when it comes to their friends who are few and far between, they hold a firm loyalty to them and would put their life on the line at least half the time for the sake of their friends. They are also known to be very open about their criminal nature and very "well-versed in meme culture". Due to a disinterest in education, they struggle in an academic setting and often slack off when it comes to learning, so they are not the brightest, but their street smarts are nothing to overlook and have been described as a "phenomenal display of wits and quick thinking", alongside being described as a "crazy, dangerous, inane display of pure stupid would-be heroism". They are shown to enjoy more childish stimulation such as colouring in colouring books and hiding in the McDonald's PlayPlace.

## History

### Childhood

Payton Ramora was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico on December 4th, 2006. They were an illegitimate child borne into a large family, whose father disappeared within five days of their birth. Their mother, overworked and overburdened, tried to be there for them whilst jumping from partner to partner and job to job, moving to America hoping for more opportunities. However, she passed away when Payton was about seven, leaving them with their siblings. They were meant to go to their uncle following the passing of their mother, however, he was mysteriously murdered shortly before he could take custody of them. Following this, Payton's several siblings split up and scattered about, leaving them to fend for themself until one of their brothers could find them to take them in and care for them before seemingly abandoning them abruptly when they were about twelve. During this roughly five year in-between, Payton would remain going through school by some miracle, loosely housed in various places while moving around often, encounter several stand users with their brother on the streets, and ultimately obtain their Stand by accident. The obtention of their Stand occurred shortly before or after being abandoned by their brother, after having come into contact with a strange sharp object that their brother tried to take from them, but they refused to let go of, sick of having things taken from them due to their rough street life.

They named their Stand "Misery Business" after their brother abandoned them, however, they didn't know what a Stand was, and thusly, they just referred to it as a monster. After this, they fended for themselves on the streets, eventually ending up in Canada and meeting Minerva Novoselic, with whom they became quick friends and stuck by, before both eventually met Loituma Autere, who was older and more experienced in stands than them, at least experienced enough to call them "Stands". Following several fights the three of them worked together in, Loituma took them in to live with her and her aunt, providing both with a warm place to stay and new clothes to wear and a sense of financial stability.

## Skills

### Stats

#### **Physical Strength**

Payton's physical strength is poor, due in part to their malnutrition, but also due to the fact that, as a street-wise kid, they often relied on other methods to win a fight.

#### **Mental Strength**

Payton, although persistent and brave, has a mental weakness in that they often act impulsively. Also, they can't read.

#### **Reflexes**

Payton's reflexes are excellent, especially considering they have to be, given their street life. This is impressive, considering their eyesight is poor.

#### **Endurance**

Payton has poor endurance. Weak muscle mass is doing them no favours.

#### **Speed**

Payton is relatively fast, having experience from the street life they used to live, and from running from police.

#### **Technique**

Payton's techniques are generally conventionally poor and erratic, but they are effective and tend to work in their favour.

#### **Cooperativeness**

Payton's cooperativeness is excellent, and they generally follow what someone else says, usually with that someone being Nirvana.

#### **Self-Control**

Payton is well known for their relatively poor self-control and impulsivity.

#### **Intelligence**

Payton's intellect isn't the best. Although they're not "stupid", they are in no way book smart, and they cannot read well above a roughly third-grade reading level at best. However, their "street smarts" are extensive.

### Skillset

* **Parkour:** Payton possesses exceptional ability in getting to places using agility and reflex that would be hard to manage for a person less versed in it. Their inability to lose grip gives them incredible climbing ability, as well.
* **Knifefighting:** Payton is known to be very familiar with the "art" of knifefighting, being rather skilled and having gained plenty of experience from the streets. It's also worth mention that they cannot be disarmed, and thus have an advantage.
* **Bilingualism:** Payton knows and speaks both English and Spanish. Prefers their native Spanish but speaks English more often anyway. Will sometimes use Spanish words when speaking English anyways because they like the sound better. Their favourite words are "loco" and "cabrón".
* **Pickpocketing:** Payton is an excellent pickpocket and is relatively good at stealing without being caught.
* **High Pain Tolerance:** Payton possesses a high threshold for withstanding pain.

## Trivia

* Payton did not start as a JoJo OC, and instead started as a standalone OC without a name.
* Their favourite animal was once pigs.
	+ Finding out they were omnivores freaked them out and led them to no longer call pigs their favourite animal.
* They call their favourite knife "David".
* They can be seen using a flip phone.
* They often try to "rob" people for their "Credit Card number and the three digits on the back".
* Their name is based on the band's name, "Paramore".
	+ If you drop the "yton" from "Payton", you're left with "Pa Ramora", or, if you say it together, "Paramora", ie. "Paramore".
