CHARACTER
Name: Guido Mista
Canon: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo
Age: 18 years old
Timeline: post-series, after Giorno has made himself Mafia boss and Mista is his right hand man.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality:
When the series firsts starts, we learn two things about Mista. His irrational dislike of the number 4 and how calm he is. For the first, it isn’t just a character quirk. It fills in every part of Mista’s daily life. If there are five slices of cake left, he will take two for himself no matter what so there will only be three slices left. His Stand, Sex Pistols, is numbered but the number 4 is missing, showing how deep into his soul his dislike of the number is. He hates it so much because it believes it’s an unlucky number. Everything in life that happened to him that was bad, in his opinion, happened because he encountered four of something somewhere. In the middle of a fight, when Mista accidentally ends up with four bullets left, he freaks out and tries his best to get rid of it so he won’t die from bad luck. This is even reflected in the fighting games, where if Mista has four bullets in his gun, his super meter slowly drains.
The other thing we see is how calm he is. In the gang members, we have a stark contrast of characters. Narancia is loud and violent. Giorno is quiet and menacing. Mista, on the other hand, is the type of dangerous that comes from how casual he is about things. The difference in expression between brutally torturing a man and eating dinner are almost nil for Mista. After firing his gun in a crowd and looking at everyone backing away and staring, his only reaction is to ask if they want to see the gun up close. After beating up a normal person who wanted to start a fight, while everyone else is freaking out about paying off the police, he’s more concerned with the stain on the guy’s shirt. At almost no point do you ever see Mista get mad. He freaks out a lot and worries even more than that but he has a very cool personality that rarely heats up. Only certain things manage to tick him off.
It’s only part way through that we begin to see more of what motivates Mista and why he joined the gang. We find out that Mista is a jerk with a heart of gold. Namely, one of his biggest peeves is to see girls and women getting beat by men, which kind of really pisses him off. Despite that, he’s also the kind of scummy guy who stands outside of theaters and tries to charm girls into buying his way in. His favorite movies are actually romantic comedies so if he actually gets invited in by a lady, he tends to have no issues with their movie choice. We just know that Mista almost never has money and has a mediocre sense of personal body care, so he tends to smell. And be grimy and a bit hairy.
There’s a turning point in Mista’s life, though, that completely changes how he approaches things. When he watches Giorno sacrifice himself to not only save Mista but achieve their goal of finding the Boss, he finds himself completely and utterly inspired. Because of Giorno’s display of resolve, Mista stands up after finding himself almost completely defeated, and lands a critical blow on his opponent. In return for that blow though, he ends up getting five bullets in his body, something he knew would happen. From that point on, however, Mista practically dedicates his life to Giorno and ends up being his right hand man. Mista’s respect for Giorno is so high that he would never refuse an order from him and knows that no matter how difficult a task seems, Giorno wouldn’t be dumb enough to send his friends on a suicide mission so no mission is impossible. This is a sharp twist from earlier, where Mista doesn’t really seem to have much of an attachment to the gang other than to pay back his debt to their leader, Bruno.
Background:
http://jjba.wikia.com/wiki/Guido_Mista
Abilities:
To start with, Mista is an expert and crack shot with pistols. This skill is only enhanced by his supernatural power.
Mista possesses what is called a Stand. In Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, a stand is kind of like a person’s fighting spirit materialized. They come in all different forms with all different powers but cannot be seen by normal people. Only other Stand users and, in terms of RP, those capable of seeing ghosts and spirits can see them. If someone manages to harm a Stand, the damage is reflected onto their user. Killing a Stand will kill the user.
Mista’s Stand is called Sex Pistols and he actually has six of them. Each of them are about the size of a bullet and each possess different personalities, which is not standard as most Stands cannot even talk. They are labeled 1-7 with the number 4 skipped (see personality). Their stats are as follows
Power: E
Speed: C
Range: Same as a bullet’s
Durability: A
Precision: A
Developmental Potential: B
Unlike most Stands, Sex Pistols basically do what they want but generally follow Mista’s instruction. If not fed at the right time everyday and given a chance to relax, Mista says they get antsy and refuse to do work.
Sex Pistols’ ability to directly attack someone is absolutely nil. They’re too small to cause anything but minor damage. Instead, what they do is ride the bullets Mista shoots and then they redirect them. If multiple numbers are riding the same bullet, they can redirect it multiple times to bypass obstacles or even shatter the bullet so multiple pieces fly out like shrapnel. They also deflect any incoming projectiles away from Mista, making for a good bullet shield. Sex Pistols can also carry light objects around and they reload Mista’s revolver.
Because they have their own personality, Mista does not need to be conscious for Sex Pistols to work. As long as Mista isn’t dead, they will do everything they can to save Mista and assist his allies.
For a visual, this is what they look like.
Network/Actionspam Sample:
…..
[Mista is sporting that dumbfounded look people get when they want to say something but are worried they can’t express it appropriately. He needs a couple moments since his mouth is hanging open like an idiot.]
I need pizza. Pepperoni. Even just a little mozzarella. It’s not like I only have one mouth to feed. My poor, six little kids are relying on me for food.
[Yet he’s only calling them kids to actually see if he can tempt someone into giving him food or money.]
Just a few lire will do. A few from everyone and I’ll have enough for a meal they’d love. Just imagine their smiling faces that you helped contribute to.
[If not, he’d have to steal and the chances of getting away with that aren’t great. Extremely low, in fact, since he doesn’t have the backing of the gang here. Heck, he doesn’t realize they don’t use Italian money here.]
Prose Log Sample:
BANG!
Mista didn’t know what that creature was but it looked dangerous and it looked at him like it wanted to eat him. The choice was pretty easy for the gangster, especially since he came from the eat or be eaten back streets of Naples, Italy. He gunned it down, only using one shot since ammo for his pistol was hard to come by. The more he thought about it, the more he was wondering if he needed to get a bow and arrow sometime. Even worse, would Sex Pistols work with arrows?
It was too much to think about at the moment. While he had a free moment, he put a bullet back into his revolver. If he had to fire again, there would be four shots left and he wasn’t risking it. The moment that happened, wild death creatures that could only come from movies would be all over him and he knew it. Fate and luck and Lady Destiny or whoever she was would be against him the moment he tried to get involved with unlucky number four.
With the dead creature right there, he decided to take a seat on the ground. Blood was pooling out of its head but that didn’t bother him much. He had something much more important to do. Pulling out a small knife and a bit of cheese, he started cutting it up into fine slices.
“Alright guys. It’s meal time.”
It was as simple as tossing the slices in the air so the little guys could catch it and eat it. He took a bite of the thing himself since he had the time. If these guys weren’t fed, they’d complain and cause problems later and he wasn’t up for dealing with it. Better to just follow the schedule than cause any more trouble than he already had. Aaaaah, he could really go for a cute girl right now.
