DEAD MAN'S PARTY ♫

appearance;;

► more humanoid than mechanical in appearance since it's her "true" form and needs to emote clearly
► very bright colors to contrast the pseudo-goth way she dresses and also because it's a manifestation of her real self and I'm a sap: lots of Mardi Gras tones, iridescents and rainbows, probably a gold base (because golden spirit, get it)
► feathers somewhere in "outfit" design to reference Simbi Loa? idk
► wearing a masquerade mask in a dark/metallic color to pull in death aspect; she can actually take the mask off but won't until she remembers she's the stand
► possible masks? one | two | three | four | five | six | seven
► her appearance has notably changed since she developed her own personality, but of course Hazel doesn't know that
► wtf is coming up with designs, shit's hard man



abilities;;

► her main power works sort of like astral projection: she can phase through objects and living beings and move almost completely undetected, but her body is completely inert and useless the entire time she's doing so
► she's also extremely vulnerable when using this ability because her real body has no protection without the corpse shield
► her range while doing this is actually unlimited since she's not technically bound to any one body, but Hazel doesn't know this; she simply assumes that her limit is pretty big and she still hasn't hit up against it yet
► in places she's unfamiliar with like Morioh she won't go further than four or five city blocks from her body because she's afraid she'll get lost and not be able to find her way back
► while using her projection ability she's more or less invisible even to stand users, but they can still sense her presence if they're aware/looking for it as well as attack her even when she's unseen; similarly she can move or manipulate objects in this state but doing so makes it easier for her to be detected
► she also has the power to "possess" things and inhabit them with her stand indefinitely
► she cannot do this to anything that is inorganic or currently alive - it has to be a corpse, and although it works best with human bodies she can take control or hide in other dead things as well
► while possessing something she's essentially invulnerable to damage; she doesn't feel any pain and any hits she takes will almost immediately repair themselves no matter how much damage it does to her body
► while she's projecting any body she's currently taking control of can be damaged as if it were a regular corpse, and while Hazel can repair it upon returning it takes much longer than usual and she won't be able to project for some time if she wants to complete the repairs
► on the plus side she can actually eat and sleep in this AU even if she still doesn't need to, so that's nice
► she doesn't hit very hard physically - if a regular person is a 5, she's probably like a 6.5-7
► but that's ok! since she can control where and when she phases herself, Hazel can easily slide body parts into enemies and solidify them before pulling them out for some serious damage
► she also has the ability to "lock" an area since I'm way too fond of her power nulling in MoM
► in the same range as MoM in all directions from her (I think it was like 60 meters or something) she can create a field in which no one is capable of summoning their stands
► it's good for making escapes or bringing a powerful opponent down to a level she can actually fight against, since it's easy to keep what is essentially a regular person within the locked area with her range
► however, it has its downsides! Hazel is also affected by the lock, albeit a little differently - she must have her stand out to trigger it, and since she's locked into that state she can't possess anything to protect herself from damage
► she also has to actually return to her body after ending the null, which means there's a few seconds that someone could get a pretty big attack off on her
► she can have her stand out while still maintaining control of a body, but the range is super small - maybe two meters or so - before she starts to slip
► her stand is pretty fast, but that's probably a given all things considered



the original user;;

► very different in personality from Hazel - not in a bad way, or a bad person, just a big contrast
► probably was quite withdrawn, bordering on shy, and very serious
► lost her parents at an early age and was bounced around the foster care systems for years before qualifying for a private academy meant for marginalized children like herself
► run by AU version of Edith and her coven, who are using it as a means to experiment with stands and their limits/potentials on people that no one will really miss (probably has an arrow? there's a few still up for grabs in canon right...)
► after being awakened to her stand she discovered what was going on (aka A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DYING HERE) thanks to its ability and fucked right out of there
► one of the "teachers" was sent to find and retrieve her, and because she's not used to dealing with attention she probably attracting a lot of other unrelated users to herself unwittingly
► which is how she got killed because wow that is a lot of people to fight off all alone
► she'd lost a lot of people throughout her life, not just her parents, and that loss made her unable to let go of the dead - which is why DMP can "possess" people as a way to hold onto them and keep them in this world
► similarly, its phasing abilities stemmed from her feeling invisible but still wanting to make an impact on the world
► Hazel's other abilities (such as her locking) and the refining of her existing ones only occurred after she became self-aware because she'd developed into her own person with her own desires...not that she knows, haha
► I still don't know if the body and/or name Hazel is currently using are from her user, but I guess it doesn't really matter at this point
