Basic info:

- Name: Gianmarco Bianchi

- Nicknames/aliases: Gian, Gianni, Gianmi, Marco (honestly his name is a mouthful so ppl like abbreviating it a lot)

- Age: (I changed Celeste's age to 20 :P so) I'll say he's 25

- Gender, pronouns: cis-male, he/him

- Sexuality: biromantic demisexual, polyamorous

- Height & weight: 1m83, 77kg

- Appearance: tan olive skin, & he has vitiligo so there are light patches all over his body; wavy dark brown hair with a thick white streak in front, short below & long-ish on top (bit of an undercut??), he kind of has bangs that fall into his eyes a little bit; light blue eyes

- Physique: kinda buff-ish; he's build chunky & doesn't really have visible muscles

- Health (physical/mental):
Physically: has vitiligo
Mentally: mommy issues, impostor syndrome

- Scars/freckles/birthmarks etc.: none

- Piercings/tattoos:
   Piercings: his ears are covered by his hair so you wouldn't see it, but he has standard lobe & helix piercings. Sometimes if he feels like accessorizing he'll wear one dangling earring.

- Wardrobe (clothing & jewelry): simple but eye-catching, leans a little bit to grunge, layers. Things you'll find in his closet: patterned t-shirts & short-sleeved button-ups, slim-fitting pants/jeans, casual dress shoes (idk what they're called?) or boots, & many interesting belts. Wears watch on left wrist, and a few miscellaneous bracelets. Many earrings but often mismatched (he either loses them, or they came like that).

Backstory:

- Backstory: eldest child of the Bianchi family, born 5 years before Celeste. The Bianchis are all characterized by their white hair, so when people saw he has dark hair & vitiligo they ridiculed & shunned him for it. His parents tried to protect him & give him a happy childhood, but after Celeste — the "better" child — was born the pressure got to them, & even though they still loved him they paid less and less attention to him. Cue mommy issues, but his manifests as low self-esteem & a fear of abandonment.

He and Celeste grew up peacefully together, no major fights or intense competition/hatred, but Gian always knew he would never match up to her in other people's eyes. On top of that, even though he was supposed to be the heir, as a child he didn't have Celeste's academic prowess/smarts or charm/tact; him knowing this, plus people comparing them eventually led to him developing impostor syndrome. Despite this, Gianmarco never hated his sister or resented his parents, & still gave it all on the path to becoming the heir.

It all changed when he was 16 though. He used to be too busy juggling both school & business training (?) from his parents to notice, but he was slowly realizing the dark side of the Bianchis' neutral position. His family's business would sign any contract & sell to anyone as long as they paid enough, but some of their weapons would then be used for harmful purposes, or sold to evil organizations/mafias. Gian couldn't accept the fact that his family is accepting money possibly born from innocent people's sufferings, but he knew his parents saw no reason for change, so he tried to do it himself; he started messing with the supply chain & the list of buyers, taking off & modifying orders he thought were "immoral."

(The next part isn't too fleshed-out sorry if it sounds awkward ://)

He got found out when one of their buyers realized they were being skimped on/scammed, and somehow they exposed him as the one doing it, & planned to beat him up & kill him to (1) bolster their reputation as a mafia, & (2) teach his family a lesson. But before they could do it, another organization whom Gianmarco had told his plans to, and who supports him, came in clutch & saved him. The story reached his parents, and due to shock but also for his & everyone's safety, they cut off all contact with him & announced they would make Celeste heir instead. With nowhere to go, Gianmarco became a member of the mafia that saved his life.

- Current situation: works for the mafia, in intelligence. Lives in his own house in Rome.

Personality:

- Main traits: independent, good-natured/good at heart, righteous, gullible/trusting (anytime other than while working), self-deprecating

- He comes off as very friendly & open, but he is in fact a very secretive person, & dislikes opening up too fast in fear of getting hurt. He's the type of person you could have known for months, yet still haven't figured out the real him. Could be considered evasive.

- He's a good boye. That's undeniable. He's just so good & very forgiving, even though he doesn't want to be sometimes, because he often ends up getting hurt bc of it. But once he says it's over, it's OVER.

- Once you get past his walls, he is the sweetest person; very loyal once he trusts you & will not hesitate to lay down his life for you.

- Is a person with conviction; if he believes in something, he will defend it, until given a just reason not to.

- Terrible self-esteem even though he seems like a normal, confident person on the outside. Needs lots of reassurance & love 🥺

Ability:

- Hamon/Stand: Stand

(I actually,, don't know if I'll keep his Stand bc idk if the song exactly fits him?? But eehhh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

- Stand name: Slow Dancing (named after "Slow Dancing in the Dark" by Joji)

- When did it develop?: 16; when he was getting beaten up by those mafiosos & they stabbed him w the Arrow :')

- Appearance: I actually drew this weird thing in like 2" :'D but this is how it looks

So basically: half-goat Satanic-looking thing with long curved horns & abs :') The drawing makes it look like it's wearing sunglasses??? But it's not >:'D

*put my writer's cap on*

It's humanoid, about 1.5-2 heads taller than Gian. From the waist up, it has a muscular male torso with off-white skin (imagine the bust of a Roman marble statue) — it's a soft white but not entirely humanoid, & also looks shifty/unfocused the harder you try to look straight at it. The hands have claws for fingers, those look & feel like ivory, & they darken toward the tips until they're pitch-black. Same thing with the horns, they're ivory-like & shift to black 1/3 of the way through; they're long & curved. The eyes are pure black, & running vertical along both cheeks are black tear/crack-like lines. No mouth. It has white hair that fades to black at the tips, & it's a similar situation to Circles where the hair is just shifty & sort of merges in with the flesh.

From the waist down (yikes I just realized the drawing has no waist, I need to fix my proportions :'D), it has goat legs, hooves & a small tail which are all pitch-black. Color fades from white to black at around navel. The lower parts also all kinda merge together, but you can tell the hooves & fur have 2 different textures just by looking.

- Ability: STRONK. Its punches & kicks & headbutts & just, anything else physical will hurt like hell. Can & will body the opponent & call it a strategy. Legs are exceptionally strong, can also jump high asf & balance on almost any surface (ya know those mountain-goats-scaling-dams videos)

- Special move: after it touches a living thing (person/animal/plants), if it wants, long black strings will extend from its fingertips & go into that thing, & give Slow Dancing full control of its movements — kind of like a string puppet. But while doing this SD's movements are also greatly limited, so most to all its fighting capabilities will be lost (ie, it is defenseless). It is difficult to shake these strings, unless (1) you knock Gianmarco/SD out somehow, (2) you cut the strings (but they're relatively durable, & will require some Stand work or the like)

- Stats:
Destructive power: A/B
Speed: A
Range: C
Persistence: B
Precision: A
Development potential: C

- Other abilities: Gian can hold his own in a fistfight. Like Celeste, he can also use a wide variety of weapons.

Misc.:

- Likes: animals (esp cute small ones like hamsters or bunnies); sweet foods; watery/mushy foods; collecting earrings & belts; hanging out with friends; weird ASMR shit like chiropractic cracking & soap cutting etc.

- Dislikes: liars; rude/insensitive people; deep/bottomless-looking water bodies; his vitiligo (so sometimes he slaps on a lot of concealer/cushion all over before going out)

- Birthday/month, horoscope etc.: Jan 30th, Aquarius

- Life motto(s): "Carpe diem." (omg this is so cheesy I'm bad w quotes y'all)

- Personal goal(s): to be there for others in their times of need; to use his power & influence for good; to make up with his family some day

- Love interest: none atm (but I am on a roll should I make em ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

- Other:
Gianmarco is actually a combination of Gianni (God is gracious) & Marco (the god Mars), & together it means God is gracious & warlike.
Slow Dancing looks like a brute but is actually the sweetest thing ever, Gian may be menacing-posing but then he turns around & SD is kneeling on the grass staring intently at some ladybug.
Gian actually thought SD was his sleep paralysis demon the first time it showed up :') But then it probably reached out toward him & took his hands & just held them & looked at him, & he was like ",,,,, ok"
Sometimes Gian puts clothes onto SD to imagine how they'd look on himself, bc they have approximately the same physique. Upper body only tho of course.
He would dye his hair to get rid of the white streak? But he doesn't because Celeste said to him once when they were young how cool she thinks it is, and how she wishes she has hair exactly like his.

I listened to "Slow Dancing in the Dark" today & the Stand really just came to me :'D Gianmarco was supposed to be a fake, narcissistic, bitter bitch?? But I'm glad this is how he turned out :3 Hope y'all like!!
