(Can I have Holly Short and, uh:)

(Name: Faust Zepelli

Origin World: JJBA

Bio: For a good chunk of his life, the only thing Faust Zepelli knew as home was hard concrete and pavement. He lived on the streets, barely managing to get by, and often sleeping starving in the cold. During this time, he developed his conviction that luck was very much a thing, and with it, lady luck. But unlike most people, who don't really have a concrete idea or image of lady luck besides that she gives other people good luck, Faust did have one - and one far from the typical image, at that. He developed the idea that lady luck was a devious, wicked mistress, handing out misfortune like candy on halloween and toying with the mortals down below. After all, how could someone with control over luck really be benevolent? With that much power, lady luck was bound to be corrupt. Good luck wasn't her blessing people - it was them avoiding her notice as she laid eyes on those less fortunate...such as himself, for instance. With this ideology in mind, he worked even harder to survive, lady luck be damned. Even if he couldn't fight her, he could try. And then, one day, he stumbled upon a most peculiar arrow...and stabbed his hand on it. Right there and then, he saw two paths laid out before him - accept death and silently bleed out in the alley...or defy the path laid before him by lady luck and live. Nautrally, he went with the latter option, and through that defiance, he gained his Stand, 「𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙒𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙」. That was when Faust's life turned around. With this new power, he was able to get money, food - everything he couldn't have had before and more. He very quickly went from rags to riches as he went around, spending some time gambling and winning due to his special ability. In his mind, this wasn't cheating - no, this was him finally being able to fight lady luck on his own terms...to look at the hand she gave him and throw it in her face! The way he saw it, of course, he knew he wouldn't last against lady luck, but he wanted to see how long he can last. He ended up joining Valentine along his crusade some years later, and through his brief employment to him, got his ass handed to him on a platter by one Shizuka Joestar. This beating was, as far as Faust was concerned, the first real blow from lady luck - a test to see if he would back down now that he knew first-hand how easily she could smite him through various agents. Naturally refusing to back down, he decided that the best way to move forward was to beg to join Shizuka and her friend. The rest is history.

Powers/Abilities: His power, of course, comes from his Stand, Pinball Wizard. Pinball Wizard takes the shape of a muscular humanoid around Faust's height, with its head being a golden skull with roulette wheels in place of teeth, a roulette machine's handle coming out of the top of its head, and a four leaf clover engraved on its forehead, with one key difference: mainly, that one of the leaves seems to have been attached by an outside force. Its torso is primarily red with some blue on the sides and gold highlights, with a black screen displaying a score with red LED letters across its pectorals and green felt covering its abdominals. Its arms are similar to the torso, with the addition of tiny glowing yellow lights running along both arms, a small red ball coming out of each elbow, and the words "Pinball" and "Wizard" in neon letters on the right and left forearms respectively. The legs are the same as the arms - albeit with no red balls, the lower legs being covered with various cards and poker chips, and the feet having horseshoes molded onto them. Pinball Wizard's primary ability is to be able to change the positioning of objects within a good 30 meter radius of it, which plays into the second ability it has - the ability to fire off steel balls from its hands. These balls are special - they won't break any object, no matter how fragile. Instead, they rebound, gaining more power and speed the more they ricochet off objects (this can be tracked by the score counter on Pinball Wizard's chest), and eventually they slam into the opponent and release that power, dealing severe damage to them. Also, Pinball Wizard's hands can disconnect from the rest of the arms and extend forward on spring-loaded pistons, but that isn't too relevant to the Stand itself.

Other: Like many users, he has a Stand cry - Faust's is "KA KA KA KA KA..." on repeat, ending on "KA-CHING!"
