⋄⋅Christopher Bang⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Chan⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Koala ◈
He can trap anyone in a tight hug lock, either ultimately suffocating them or apprehending them for long periods of time

◈ Binary Soul Reading ◈
His stand, Atum, has the ability to read souls. He psychically asks a nearby person's soul a yes or no question which the soul is obliged to answer, unbeknownst to the one being read, allowing him to secretly know someone's intent

◈ Soul Steal ◈
With Atum, he can also steal souls from someone who has proven their statements to be lies. Atum holds onto them, until someone else has redeemed that person's soul by telling the truth, by which Chan allows Atum  to release the soul(s). He is also able to hold onto multiple souls at a time

⋄

Stand: Atum

Atum is a threatening Stand to face because of its ability to steal souls and read minds

However, it's not the best Stand for combat, so Chan usually relies on his own brute strength when it comes to fighting

◈

⋄⋅Lee Minho⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Lee Know⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Claw ◈
He can extend the cutting length of nails, allowing them to stretch longer to form claws

◈ Harvest ◈

⋄

Stand: Bad Company

Bad Company is tiny toy army men hidden in multiple parts of Minho's clothes, primarily under his hat

Each of Bad Company's soldiers is armed with an M16 assault rifle, parachute, and combat knife. They additionally have a rappelling rope which allows them to climb objects. Their helicopters are armed with machine guns and missiles, and their tanks have scaled-down shells. In addition, Bad Company is also equipped with land mines

◈

He has incredible lung power and can suck in air with the power of a jet engine, which often allows him to draw people and objects towards him

◈ Nutrients ◈
He can suck life energy, or "nutrients", from his opponents whenever he touches any part of his target and transfer it to himself in order to heal

◈ Pinch Deflating ◈
He is capable of literally deflating people and objects by stabbing them with either of his index fingers' sharpened nails

◈

⋄⋅Hwang Hyunjin⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Prince⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Medusa's Kiss ◈
He can turn anyone to stone with a simple kiss, whether he makes contact or not, and can turn them back to normal with a second kiss

◈ Killer Infection ◈
He can release a deadly, flesh eating virus from one of the three bulbs on the back of his left hand. Only he can break (and fix) it for the virus to be released, but he only releases it if he's angered over his limit. The virus can kill anyone in his range within thirty minutes

◈ Killer Cure ◈
He can release a cure to his virus from one of the three bulbs on the back of his right hand. Only he can break (and fix) it for the cure to be released. The cure can instantly cure anyone in his range that's been infected

◈

⋄⋅Han Jisung⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Squirrel⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Stuff ◈
He can stuff his cheeks at high capacities and store multiple things in his mouth for extended periods of time

◈ Air Bubble ◈
He can create invisible bubbles of compressed air with his cheeks and shoot them toward his targets, but he can also shield himself from attacks with them. The bubbles are durable enough to block a variety of attacks, and when shot, have enough force to severely wound somebody or kill them at point-blank range. However, the bubbles can be popped like a balloon if it's weak enough. He is also capable of morphing the air bubbles he creates into different shapes by using his tongue. His control over the air increases as he gets more sunlight, which gives him more energy. When illuminated, the air control is quite strong, but it weakens in the dark

◈ Smoke Breath ◈
The contents of the different things he smokes doesn't go to his lungs. Instead, they form different types of smoke in his mouth. Using his cheeks and his tongue, he can shape the smoke into anything, including sharp objects and weapons

◈

⋄⋅Lee Yongbok⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Felix⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Voice ◈
He can create various effects through his own voice, which can even manifest as a siren call, controlling the minds of others

◈ Accent ◈
He can change his voice into any accent to throw off his enemies

⋄

Stand: Surface

Surface, appears as a human-sized mannequin, with several screws sticking out of its head

Surface's primary ability is to copy the appearance of another person. If the mannequin faces someone, it will perfectly copy that person's appearance, voice, and mannerisms, down to the fingerprints. However, a screw on Surface's forehead enables people to tell them apart. As a Stand bound to a mannequin, no damage done to Surface will be reflected in Felix

Surface still remains a wooden mannequin on the inside. If a piece of the mannequin is cut off, that area will return to its wooden state. When Surface impersonates someone, it can force that person to imitate its movements. This prevents the opponent from hitting it by standing still, making it impossible for them to move and strike it. However, Surface must stand in front of its victim for it to work

◈

⋄⋅Kim Seungmin⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Snail⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Slippery Smooth ◈
His skin can become extremely smooth and slippery, which can cause any and all things to slide off of him if he wants them too

◈ Projectile Redirection ◈
Because his skin is so slippery, he can change the direction of any projectile shot at him, no matter how powerful or sharp, making him immune to any and every projectile

⋄

Stand: Diver Down

Diver Down's first ability is to store its strikes on any surface

When Diver Down hits something with a punch or a kick, the force of the impact is "stored" inside the object. Whenever Seungmin wills it, the accumulated energy can be released outside of the object in the form of Diver Down's corresponding limb punching or kicking from inside the object. Alternatively, Seungmin can put Diver Down inside someone's body, so that whatever damage the target suffers will be transferred to Diver Down instead, protecting them from harm. If need be, Diver Down can become a part of the person and replace a lost limb

Diver Down's next ability is to phase through solids and then freely change their insides. By plunging inside an object or person, Diver Down can freely manipulate their internal structure; either to destroy them or piece them together anew. Through this ability, Seungmin can create complex structures like spring traps, or freely change the whole form of the object or person. Diver Down can forcibly remove harmful but impossible to sever objects, or do the reverse and embed foreign objects inside the body

◈

⋄⋅Yang Jeongin⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: I.N.⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Sleep Walker ◈
He falls asleep during battle, which increases his power tenfold and eliminates his clumsiness that he possesses when awake

◈ Sleep Communication ◈
Even when he's asleep, he can perfectly hear and communicate as if he were awake

⋄

Stand: King Nothing

With his Stand, King Nothing, he can disassemble and reassemble himself and others, living or inanimate, into small jigsaw pieces

It enables him to slip through narrow spaces and hide anywhere when need be. King Nothing is also able to register the scent of a particular person or object, and track their location like a hound. When exposed to an object, King Nothing will envelop it with its jigsaw pieces and memorize the scent of the object in question or someone who touched it

It will then automatically pursue the scent, even if Jeongin isn't aware of its activation, and can follow the trail a person's scent has left until it arrives at their current location. King Nothing can remodel itself to recreate an object or person it is trailing. It does this by attaching pieces of its jigsaw pieces to articles of clothing belonging to the target, or surfaces the target has recently come into contact with

◈ Breakdown ◈
He can put anyone who's asleep into a state of sleep paralysis. Even if they wake up and see him, they won't be able to move unless his power is deactivated

Former Stand: Silver Chariot

Silver Chariot was a powerful, battle-dedicated close range Stand that primarily fought with the rapier that it was equipped with, with incredible speed, power, and precision. Its power increased when in its Armor Off mode

⋄

Second Former Stand: Chariot Requiem

Chariot Requiem was an automated Stand that followed Woojin around at its own free will

It followed his orders to protect him and the Requiem Beetle Arrow at all costs. It didn't have any combat ability, yet it was considered an extremely dangerous Stand due to its mastery over souls. Chariot Requiem was particularly resilient, being able to reattach detached limbs with ease. Upon activation, Chariot Requiem could put every living being in a large area around it into a forceful sleep. During that sleep, Requiem could switch the soul of one organism with that of the closest body, regardless of species. If a body physically died, the soul currently inhabiting it would die too. In that case, the previous owner would be able to take over their own body, provided it is still suitable for life

As Chariot Requiem was able to affect souls, it also affected Stands, as they are a reflection of the soul. Chariot Requiem could partially control Stands in order to protect Woojin and the arrow as it was commanded. Any Stand user who tried to take the Arrow or even touch Woojin in the slightest would be attacked by their own Stand. The response would always be proportional to the attack; merely reaching out one's hand would only summon another hand, while attacking would cause a full-scale retaliation

◈

⋄⋅Coco Jumbo⋅⋄

Coco Jumbo is a small land turtle whose main characteristic is a key-shaped hole on top of its shell, in which a special key allowing people into its Stand can be placed

⋄

Stand: Mr. President

Mr.President has no combat ability whatsoever, but its power to have an entire room's space inside a turtle makes it very useful as a mobile hiding spot

There is a room inside of Coco Jumbo. When one places a special key into the depression located on Coco Jumbo's shell, they can access a room "within the turtle". This activation method, however, appears to have been trained. By simply approaching the hand on the key, one can "sink" inside Coco Jumbo and find themselves in a plain room inside the animal. Inversely, by only raising the arm, the room's occupant can exit the turtle. Removing the key from the shell's depression forcibly ejects the room's occupants

The transparent jewel on the key allows people to peek from either side of the room's ceiling, although those outside may see them as very small, while those inside will see people many times taller than them. It may indicate that people actually shrink in order to fit inside Coco Jumbo. The room doesn't protect its occupants from Stand powers, but thankfully, for the occupants, moving the turtle around or even inclining it won't affect the room
