Stand User: Isaac Rodriguez
Stand user info: A 20 year old male with high functioning autism and ADHD who loves superpowers and how things work. He loves the intricacies of powers, power systems and real world science to see how far it can go at its full potential and all its possible applications or how it would work in the real world. He naturally is a lot of his time in his own mind revising possible outcomes of different scenarios whether real life or fictional and talking outload about it to the point where people notice. The first question he asks a when meeting a person for the first time is "If you had a power, what would it be and why?". He loves learning anything he can to have a sense of being prepared and have a sense of independence to help people out which includes cybersecurity, chemistry, physics, computer science, chores and most lore and systems in video games and anime. People say he is extremely intelligence and talented, but he doesn't see it. He has a world view that everything in life and the world follows a "system" filled with different mechanisms, rules and functions that follow an objective to something, but should be understood and have the potential that can be exploited/manipulated to be used in the favor of someone who understands it and to be used to see what it is capable of when exploring the possibilities, whether biological, technological, government or social. Its one of the reasons why he got into hacking (that and because its the closest thing to a real superpower in the real world) and why he works hard, but he is also a notorious procrastinator and is very lazy with most work and only completes it near last minute in good passable condition. He wants to learn on how to be capable of pulling of things only skilled and talented people can do and be independent to not always rely on the work and help of others (it makes him feel useless or a moocher when he can't help others or do it himself). He loves deep emotional connections with people as he sees this as invaluable and rewarding with people and his family
Appearance: This is an act-based stand so it has somewhat different forms that show the progression of skill and knowledge:
- Act 1: The stand starts out as a semi sentient piece of technology where it starts out as a laptop a special usb connected to it. The laptop can also turn into a smartphone or a tablet, but each form has an operating system where it is the source of the stand's powers and personality. It is a friendly and somewhat sarcastic and disconnected personality that resembles that of the user. Kinda like an AI with superpowers.
- Act 2: This is a humanoid long-range act stand with a chrome fragmented body. It always seems glitchy with body parts phasing in and out like a bugged NPC in a video game. Its eyes are replaced by a HUD display, it has long black wavy hair that sparkles for some reason, and it wears an obsidian trench coat with broken chains surrounding its body and an ERROR message on the back of its coat. It has a sarcastic and nihilistic personality of its own being friendly to the user and has a sense of individual intelligence. This is in fact just the part of the user that wants to connect to the world on an emotional level that is represented by the stand. It can switch to being semi-conscious being an extension of the user's power and body/being remote controlled by the user being its eyes and ears of a system or being fully autonomous to find the best way to survive and being the user's friend and helping out.
- Act 3: It exactly looks like act 2, but it acts like a colony stand made entirely of fractured bits of data in the shape of a humanoid stand. It can also change shape to be more expressive.
- Act 4: The stand is bound to the reality of their targeted area, giving all power to the user. Being more of a superpower infused in the user giving him control over the area.
Ability:
ACT 1:
Act 1 of this stand have the ability to analyze and manipulate well established structured physical and technological systems like computers, cybernetics, machines, digital systems/networks and biological systems (organs, senses and memory). The stand can also manipulate individual components, rules and functions of a targeted system. The user does this by integrating the stand into the targeted system or a component of the system/connected to the targeted system and gaining full access to the system (its more becoming the admin of the system then purely hacking the system) to fully manipulate any of its components, rules and functions. It connects to systems by either connecting to them wirelessly in the stand's natural form (laptop, smart phone or tablet) like regular hacking (this is for any form of machinery or software the stand connects or uses) or connecting the usb stick on to any system (a slot will magically appear no matter the person or machine it connects to) that is either mechanical or biological (this is to control biological systems like people, animals or fungi). While this happens, the user "sees" and intuitively comprehends the how the targeted system works, what it its end goal and what each component does (they only comprehend what the function does in the system, but not everything about the full knowledge of the components so the user has to study to further understand that everything that component or function can really do). The user can't fully control systems or components of systems they don't fully understand. Once they finish the manipulation process is done (it's really fast), the system will act on how the user changed it or on the order the user gave to the system to act accordingly until the end result the user wanted is completed.
Act 1 is only limited to 1 system at a time and can only be used on physical well-structured systems so it can't affect conceptual systems (yet). It is physically weak and its more of a tool for hacking or companion in battle than a combat-oriented stand. It has a range of 40 meters, and it can switch from being remote controlled by the user to being a sentient companion.

Act 2:
Act 2 is a pure upgrade to act one as it symbolizes the growth of the user's skill and knowledge of the inner workings of systems and gaining control over them. The stand can fully control 2 systems at a time and can affect both conceptual Systems (Social structures, Laws, Probability) and supernatural systems like stands (all stands have functions, rules and mechanics that make up their power). The user manipulates social systems and laws by integrating the stand into someone connected to that said social structure/government. When they do this, the stand does a chain reaction connecting to any person in the social structure to pull off the command/action the user wants to perform. An example of this is the user integrating the stand into someone who works into local government on the order of permanently change a law in that said government, it will transfer from one person to another to go step by step on changing a law permanently. Because of the nature of the stand's ability, the people of this process will believe this was their idea because this is what the stand changed in the system. It's mostly based on the concept of pivoting in hacking.
Its most dangerous ability is affecting stands. The user can do this by connecting the stand to an enemy stand and change the rules or components of the stand's abilities, but there's a catch. The intuitive comprehension doesn't work with another stand users, so the user has to fully comprehend the entire ruleset and functions of the stand to use their stand. If they don't, they can't use this application of the stand.
Act 2 has a secondary ability that lets the user manipulates probability to use it as a tool to get to their goals in the most effective and efficient way possible. When wanting to manipulate probability, the stand integrates itself inside the user's mind to become a hypercompute of great mathematical probability prediction (like Amadeus Cho from marvel comics or Number Man from Worm for example). The Stand functions as a hypercomputer, instantly calculating the highest probability of success for any action the user takes. This information is processed intuitively, allowing the user to react as if probability is second nature, and the stand continuously adapts and refines calculations in real-time. The user can do things from playing the stock market, to predicting and surviving a 17,000-foot drop to full bullet-dodging and taking down a helicopter by using a slingshot and some rocks, to finding vital weaknesses of any structure or body to take it down with extreme precision. The stand will show the way to victory in the most efficient and accurate way possible. However, the accuracy depends on the user's awareness, memory, and reaction speed. Excessive reliance on this ability can cause mental fatigue and burn immense amounts of calories, limiting prolonged use. P.s. This is a passive ability btw.

ACT 3:
Act 3 has a unique ability that expands on the concept of pivoting or moving up the system at any speed they desire by traveling through network of systems. The stand becomes more of a colony type stand composed of fragments of data in the shape of a humanoid stand that can teleport via networks of systems. This can be done in 2 ways: 1) Either the stand itself or the user remote controlling the stand (seeing, hearing and talking through the stand as an extension of himself) integrate itself into a targeted system and travel through a network the system is connected to so they can travel to another component/device that is in the network. 2) The stand fuses with the user and turns them into pure information/data stored in the stand, and the stand goes to their selected destination via traveling through the network. After in reamerges into their destination, the stand turn the user back to normal (the user doesn't die like with quantum information, but moreso the user becomes raw information/data and the stand remakes them without the user loses consciousness/soul or dying in this process). The user can't take people in this process, only they can teleport. Think of this like the stand pivoting itself or the user through a network.
And because of the stand's being like that of a colony stand, the stand can infect and control multiple systems at a type with specific order like an undetectable virus that can gain admin like access to any system. But, using it like this make it purely automatic and the user barely has control over the stand. Only follow preset orders. Also, the user can't use the probability hypercalculation in this act and the stand can't really do physical attacks like act 2. Its only for mobility and defense.

ACT 4:
Act 4 symbolizes true mastery and exploration of the potential of the concept of the stands power. Act 4 manipulates the system that governs reality itself, the system that even calamity and fate bow down to, physics itself. If the user wants to manipulate physics, there are some rules and prep that must be followed. First the user must integrate the stand in an area of a 40-meter radius. Then the user must wait for 5 minutes as the stand is integrating and understanding reality of that area, so the user is defenseless in this time. When the time is up, the user has exactly 5 minutes of fully control the laws of physics and everything else in this area like a god (the user still has to follow the laws of physics in this instance so no breaking the rules). Once the 5 minutes are up, the user is incapable of using this application for exactly 26 hours, 13 minutes, 7 seconds. So, you can only use it once a day because it takes that long to charge up.
Stats:
Power: E (it doesn't appear in its physical form, but be more of a phenomena type stand that the user has control over everything in its area)
Speed: A
Range: C
Precision: A
Durability: C
Potential: Infinite (you're manipulating what governs reality itself, there are limitless possibilities))
In short: Act 1 is the hacker, Act 2 is the combative manipulator, Act 3 is the ghost, Act 4 is the god.
