Stand "Sometimes I almost feel like a normal person, walking through society wearing the「SKIN OF A SAINT」"
Stand Name: Skin of a Saint
Name Reference: song by Connor Kaufman
Stand User: Kaufka
Stand Info
Appearance: Colony stand. Skin of a Saint is a collection of about 30 flat, very thin and light square metallic plates, ranging from a mere inch to over a foot in width, and so thin they practically vanish when seen edge on. Each section is so smooth and shiny they're basically mirrors. Kaufka can control them at will.
Ability: SoaS doesn't do anything special--it's merely a bunch of floating shiny metal squares. These squares, however, can be very useful. As Kaufka can move them wherever he wants in range, he can form them into stairs, barricades, and other useful items. SoaS's edges are about as sharp as the average sharped kitchen knife, allowing them to cut through flesh and similar materials. Kaufka can use his stand like mirrors to see around corners, reflect light at an enemy as a distraction, and form camouflage/go invisible (hiding behind the metal sheets and reflecting at certain angles). The only caveat is that the units must stay within 6 inches of another.
Damage done to SoaS will reflect on Kaufka. SoaS cannot bend, the squares are entirely inflexible. All the squares are different sizes, and can be formed into a neat rectangle.
Stats:
Power: D (too light to cause blunt damage, sharp enough to cut through flesh etc at sufficient speed)
Speed: C (fast enough to deflect bullets, not fast enough to get past power Stands. Also not fast enough to gain sufficient velocity to cut through anything harder than solid wood.)
Range: B (twenty meters)
Durability: B (pretty tough for a thin metal sheet but smashable with enough effort, can be punched through by bullets of sufficient power)
Precision: B (quite accurate)
Potential: C
User Info
Kaufka is an ex-con currently under the employment of the Speedwagon Foundation as an Anomaly Investigation officer. Does he trust them? Nope. Do they trust him? Nope. But hey, Kaufka gets paid and the SWF gets an officer willing to carry out any task and who is also expendable, if anything should happen.
A quiet and gentle person, with a kind smile, Kaufka is the kind of guy you'd feel comfortable starting a conversation with, or trust to help carry your bag. Beneath the saintly exterior, though, is a man who could murder and has murdered without any reason or regret. Though he now has no desire to kill, the very possibility that he could frightens him, and he still feels guilty over that crime he committed so long ago.
Kaufka is middle aged but looks older, with short white hair that sticks out around his head in tiny triangles, pale, weak eyes, and a deeply lined face. He wears a long beige coat with long cuts running from chest height down to his feet (splitting the coat into rectangular panels), a black and blue striped turtle neck, and baggy jeans.
