Western Promise

## Appearance

Western Promise resembles a large cowboy wearing a dark blue cloak. The Stand possesses a white face with red stars on its cheeks. It wears a large ten gallon hat with "HOWDY" engraved in a piece of gold at its base. Western Promise has black hair tied back into a pony tail.

## Personality

Western Promise has a very simplistic personality, mostly being a silent avatar for Midge. The Stand will commonly say yee haw, normally as a greeting or as a telegraph for it activating its ability. The Stand has rarely been seen to say other things that still involve yee haw in some form and has been seen crying on a singular event.

## Background

Western Promise manifested as the Stand of Midge Currie, who was unaware of her Stand and assumed it was simply the player character of her video game. The two were at Star Road Ranch when Edwin Speedwagon (under the name Dustin Rai) and Midge's father found the buried arrows close to the ranch house. When the arrows were unearthed one buried its way into Currie's arm and killed him (failing to unlock a Stand due to his little potential.) Almost immediately after Mr Currie's death, Western Promise combat rolled before Edwin and drew a pistol, visibly crying from the death of its user's father. The Stand then fired at the vampire, delivering a bullet wound that would have been fatal if Edwin hadn't been undead. The Stand then buried the pair, unaware Edwin was still alive. He would unearth himself and note Midge's potential before leaving.

After Edwin Speedwagon had began his research into Stands and the arrows, he returned to Star Road Ranch and took Midge to the Star Road Research Facility in Electros City. During an operation to insert a Stand Arrow, Midge was killed, but Western Promise became a Requiem Stand. The Stand would form its Nocturne at Star Road Ranch and would remain there for years.

While researching what Star Road could mean, the Star Road Now party uncovered the fact that a Star Road Ranch had previously existed in the Mojave Desert. Jonah Joestar and Renegade Styx were sent to investigate, entering the Nocturne. Shortly after entering, Renegade said yee haw, drawing the attention of Western Promise, who confronted them. A battle broke out until Jonah leapt through the window of the ranch house and ordered Midge to surrender, who continued to avoid losing her progress. Jonah destroyed the TV, but Midge kept playing until Renegade pulled the arrow out of Western Promise. The Stand and User were sent to Sanctuary, where Midge quickly took the main building for her own, with Western Promise blocking the door.

A decade later, 'Vard returned the portion of Western Promise that had been turned into a Nightmare Stand to Midge after recovering it from The Sound of Silence.

## Ability

Western Promise's main ability is to manipulate anything western themed and be controlled like a video game character. Western Promise can be controlled remotely with a video game system and controller, offering Midge the ability to see through the Stand's eyes through a TV screen. This meant that Midge was unaware of the fact that she even had a Stand, as she assumed she was only playing a game when using it. The Stand also wields a pistol, which Midge has become proficient at using. Western Promise can freely manipulate anything western themed, being control things such as steam trains and dynamite.

### Requiem Ability (incomplete)

When Western Promise possessed a Requiem Arrow, it had the power to spawn power-ups in its Nocturne. These are also western themed and enhance aspects of the Stand. Witnessed power-ups include: a shotgun, a bottle of alcohol that temporarily turns the drinker into a giant, a circle of light that heals whoever stands in it and imbues them with electricity (letting them fire lightning bolts), a horse, a cactus that, when consumed, does damage but powers the consumer up, a golden chainsaw and spurred boots.

### Nocturne

Western Promise possessed a Nocturne. Based in Star Road Ranch, the Nocturne resembled the ranch when Midge lived in it, but adding a small western town below the railway line.
