Kraft Work

Character

Kraft Work is the Stand of the assassin Sale in Vento Aureo, a sleek, robotic close-range fighter that rules over motion itself. It can strip the kinetic energy from anything it touches to pin it dead in the air, then pour that energy back to fire the frozen object off like a bullet.

Overview

Sale's Stand looks almost machine-built, sheathed in smooth, streamlined armor with a spike jutting from either side of its head, bared teeth, and eyes ruled by vertical lines. Striated muscle runs across its body, likely a nod to the force it commands. Colored art shows it white with blue underlayers and yellow markings in the manga, and a mostly green scheme with red eyes in the anime.

It fights at close range with above-average basics and enough speed to swat aside a spray of gunfire, deflecting bullets with ease.

Mechanics

Kraft Work governs kinetic energy, able to drain it from a thing entirely, hold it frozen, or feed energy back into something already stopped to set it moving again.

Touching an object locks it in place, either fixing it in space or holding it still relative to another object, Sale included. People become partly stuck once they contact something it has affected, and there is no cap on how many things it can freeze. The lock can even be delayed, letting Sale hurl an item and halt it in mid-flight. Defensively it freezes incoming projectiles, once stopping a bullet partway into his own skull, though an outside push can still nudge a frozen object, so a second shot can drive that bullet deeper. Moving far enough away lets the effect fade.

The reverse feeds kinetic energy into a locked object. By tapping a frozen item over and over, Sale builds up power and then releases it, launching something like a stalled bullet with the force of a real gunshot. To keep his aim true and unpredictable, he taps carefully and lightly rather than all at once, and he turns Mista's own suspended bullets back against him this way.
