CHARACTER INFORMATION

✘ Name: Guido Mista
✘ Canon: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
✘ Canon Point: Post-Purple Haze Feedback

✘ Age: 18
✘ History: @ Jojowiki
✘ Personality:

You're assigned a group project. What role do you end up taking?

Pretty sure what you mean by "group project" is pretty different than anything I've ever done, but sure, lemme see what I can do. Working in a group I'm the guy who goes out ahead and, uh, makes sure we have all the necessary supplies, makes sure nobody's taken all the . . . poster board and . . . markers? Take 'em back if they do, 'cause obviously we need 'em more. Reserve a room to work in? Is that a thing? That. Bring snacks. Morale. I'm a big morale guy. Stand at the door and make sure nobody came to bother my group and kick their asses if they did. Get stuff from the printer. Carry . . . things. Uh.

Listen, I'm not gonna lie, I'd be pretty useless on something like this. Mostly I work alone, and I'm really good at it, but sitting down and trying to do something together, I'd just end up distracting people. I'd do a good presentation if it was something I knew anything about, like guns or food or fashion, but beyond that, I'd be a really shitty partner on this kind of thing.

Except for bringing snacks. I'd rock that.

You have the chance to anonymously send a letter to someone who's wronged you in the past. What does it say?

To be clear, I'd send a letter like this to this person with my name signed if it wasn't a moot point by now. There's not anything I really need to be afraid of at this point. But anyway. The letter:

Hey Diavolo, you piece of shit,

Irony alert: I hope you're burning in hell, and you know, it's been a while since I talked one-on-one with God but it seems like a safe bet that you are. I wanna tell you about how things are going up here, because I think you'll find it really interesting.

First of all, you don't exist anymore. I don't mean you're dead, because obviously you're dead. I mean your whole life is erased. You never existed. Crazy, but spending your whole life pretending you don't exist makes it really easy to fucking delete you. Kinda seems appropriate to me.

Second of all, every ugly thing you did to the people you fucked over, Giorno's fixing now. The empire you built up on drugs and guns and breaking people down, he's rebuilding into something that's gonna make the city better. And everybody loves him, because he's not a shadow. He's a person, and you can tell just looking at him that he cares.

Last thing: everybody in Italy knows Trish's name. She's an idol. So eat that.

Someone you admire very much has just done something you find reprehensible. How do you deal with the situation?

Depends on who it is and what they did. Most people, if it was something I really hated but wasn't really evil, I'd beat the shit out of them and leave it at that. If it was something I couldn't forgive 'em for, I'd probably kill 'em. When it gets to that point, though, I check first. Sometimes I get mad, so it's good to have somebody to bounce stuff off of, and it's not exactly a great idea for a gunman to kill people for personal reasons.

The exception is . . . if it's Giorno. See, part of my job is to keep him steady. We do a lot of hard work, and he goes through a lot. So if he did something that upset me that bad, I'd really have to think about how to handle it. I'd wanna talk to him first, figure out what was going on and why he did it, because he usually has a good reason and when he doesn't, it's because something else is going on in his head that needs working out. If it's just that, then obviously I'd forgive him. If it was something worse, if he just snapped or something, then . . .

He wants me to put his dream above everything else, even him. So that'd be the time when that got tested. To be honest, I don't know how it'd go.

If you could achieve all your goals right now, what would your life look like?

Man. This one's hard! I already kind of got everything I wanted. I'm living the good life. I have more money than I know what to do with, I spend all my time with my friends pretty much, I'm working to make my hometown a better place, and I get an hour off every day for lunch.

Other than that, I dunno. I'd like to have my dead friends back, but that seems like a fucked up thing to wish for. It's not really a goal, either. If I had a goal around that, I think it'd just be to live my life the way Buccellati would want me to and do stuff that'd make Abbacchio and Narancia proud of me, too. Giorno donated some money to Narancia's school, and it'd be cool to do more shit like that in his memory. Not just school stuff, but fun stuff, too. He'd be pissed at me if I lost my sense of humor, which I don't think would ever happen, but you know. Gotta laugh at least once every day for the guy.

Beyond that . . . I'd like to have kids one day, I guess. Maybe it'd be irresponsible, I live a pretty dangerous life, but still. I think I'd be a good dad.

Someone tells you all your flaws. What did they tell you, and are they right or wrong?

Shit, haha. Well, they'd probably say I'm rude and kind of an asshole sometimes. I'll fight people over stuff that doesn't matter, like movies, and not fight people over stuff that does sometimes. I'm just generally violent. I'm a criminal, for God's sake. I kill people for a living. Like, that's my whole thing, right. There's a lot to criticize. Uh, I don't shower every day — more than I used to, though — and I forget to shave sometimes. I don't take things seriously enough. I'm loud. I ask stupid questions. I'm stupid, period. Maybe I'm forgetting something, I'm not sure.

And you know, they're right about most of it. I'm not about to argue. I'm definitely a violent dumbass, and I'm definitely not about to get any less violent or dumb. This is how it is and how it's gonna be. Some people don't wanna deal with that, sure, but at the same time I don't feel like I'm missing out. There's a lot of good about me, too. I'm the funniest guy you'll ever meet, I know all the best spots to eat, I don't give up on the important stuff, I've got good shoulders for crying on, and I'm hot. So sleep on me and it's your own loss, buddy.

✘ Type: Spiritual

✘ Powers:

Power 1: Serenity/anxiety inducement. With a touch of his right hand, he can induce a temporary feeling of serenity in one person. With a touch of his left hand, he can induce a temporary feeling of anxiety in one person. Lasts for a half-hour, use of either only once per day. Requires player permission.

Power 2: Smite-lite. The ability to wield double physical force against PCs or NPCs that register as morally evil. This would only apply to physical attacks and projectiles (ie his gun), not any form of magical attack (with the possibility of leveling up to include magical/spiritual attacks later, if that's permitted).

Power 3: Virtue/sin manipulation. With a touch of his right hand, he can increase or decrease a PC or NPC's level of virtue (charity, chastity, compassion, diligence, humility, patience, temperance). With a touch of his left hand, he can increase or decrease a PC or NPC's level of sin (envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth, wrath). Limit of once per day of any of these. All require OOC permission from players, but chastity/lust will also require IC permission from NPCs or PCs.

✘ Inventory:

🔫 clothes he's wearing (dumb sweater, dumb pants, socks, boots, hat, we pray there's underwear under there somewhere)
🔫 revolver
🔫 he carries bullets in his hat so I wanna say like 10 bullets, can reduce the number if that's too many
