Overview

Rather than being born within its user, this long-distance Stand reaches Miraschon by way of a Stand disc in Part 6. It runs on gambling: it takes no action unless the user and a target have agreed to bet, and it will not even shield Miraschon in a straight fight. Yet once a debt comes due, it is untouchable.

The Stand is a humanoid of ordinary height and masculine build, marked by a slot in the center of its brow and a digital counter running across its face. Four-fingered metal hooks serve as its hands, and it tends to slip in and out of people's shadows.

Mechanics

The heart of its power is debt collection. After the user and an opponent stake something and that opponent loses, Marilyn Manson appears beside them and takes payment. Coins and cash fly straight into its hooks, but if wealth falls short, it will carve valuable parts from the loser's body, gold teeth or organs like the liver, to sell off and cover the gap. It reads the victim's mind to judge worth and refuses to seize anything that was not truly theirs, such as stolen money.

It describes itself as the shadow lurking in a loser's own heart, which is why neither the loser nor any ally can harm it; blows simply pass through, since the victim unconsciously accepts the collection as legitimate. The Stand lets Miraschon cheat freely to win, yet it instantly catches any cheating by the target and rules that an automatic loss, even counting a plan to simply beat up Miraschon as cheating. The one escape is to force the user to call the Stand off, which can also compel it to return what it took and spare a dying victim.
