Icarus Bastille

**Icarus Bastille** (イカラス・バスティル Ikarasu Basutiru) is an important villain featured within JoJazo.

## Appearance

Though originally being shown to be wearing a formal, black suit, Icarus changes into his more predominantly used attire. He dons a yellow suit with an orange jumper underneath and a shirt beneath it - the pattern on the shirt creates white squares separated by black lines. Hanging from his neck is a blue tie with a flow pattern about it. Down bellow, he black jeans that are covered in white tethers that drag along the floor as he walks.

Icarus has striking, vibrant green eyes, stands at over 6ft, has a sharp jaw and handsome face. Tattooed on the right side of is two black crab-claw-like symbols. His hair is a greyish brown, while also being combed over to the left.

## Personality

Ambitious, confident, duplicitous and down-right malevolent at times, Icarus Bastille is both refined and feral in his actions.

Icarus is a person who's masterful lying capabilities are unmatched, being able to fool even the brightest of people. Through this skill, Icarus developed a two-sided nature: one side that's meant for trickery, and one that's meant for being his true self. The façade he portrays is sophisticated, well-educated and polite, being able to put people at ease, sympathise, emphasise and persuade. This version of him knows how to be well-mannered and communicate with people; however, this is just a mask. An act he puts on for the means of deceiving others. When he let's his true self loose, he's feral. He drools, twitches, screams, and shouts. All this version, his true self, wants to do is kill and enact pain upon his victims - usually through use of his Stand, The Weight Of Living.

Icarus' lying helps him manipulate and control people into doing his bidding, even without their knowledge that's he's doing so. Consequently, he's very cocky and arrogant, thinking he's unbeatable in all ways, while also believing that anyone who thinks they can win is simply foolish and too self-confident. This is often shown when he compares victims to the mythological character, Icarus, who was very ambitious. Too ambitious some may say.

In addition, Bastille becomes very frustrated and enraged he's in a situation that he can't control or is unaware of what's truly going on - to the point of becoming deadly violent in an instant.

## Abilities

### Stand

> Main Article: The Weight Of Living
>
>

**The Weight Of Living** is the two unit colony stand of Icarus and its sub-ability allows to create a dense, low-riding fog inside any building that Icarus chooses. This fog is only thing that his stand can move through, meaning it can't go any distance past the fog unless still a little bit of the unit is left in the fog.

When the stand or Icarus touches someone, they can cause the person immeasurable that only gets worse and worse as times goes on, however there is no actual physical damage being caused. If the person says "I am your victim" to Icarus, they induce a deal that stops the Stand's ability taking effect on them but let's Icarus generate a blue orb with their face on it. This blue orb tells Icarus all of the person's thoughts, feelings, and their exact location.

### Personal

**Duplicity:** Icarus has an innate knack for lying and pretending to be somethings he's not. Almost at the flick of a switch, he's able to go from a formal, sophisticated man with astute analysis skills and great manners to a feral beast of a man who can barely keep his drool in his mouth as he attempts to tear his victims apart.
