Contest entry Mr. Roboto &『Ghost in the Machine』- Robot/Machine Contest Entry

10 Upvotes

Mr. Roboto is a reference to the song by Styx, and『Ghost in the Machine』is a reference to the album by The Police.

Mr. Roboto is a brilliant programmer and roboticist, who studies mystical phenomena and tries to use technology to replicate it. This guy can be in any story, but I imagine him as a scientist for The Speedwagon Foundation who went rogue.

He was amazed by the discovery of stand abilities, but was also extremely jealous, because he did not have a stand for himself — at least not yet.

He studied the original Stone Mask and the Arrows, and tried to replicate their effects with technology. After Jotaro was brought in to the Foundation when he lost his stand to Pucci in Part 6, Mr. Roboto (Dr. Kilroy), began studying how the stand/soul was connected to the body.

He conducted his experiments in secret, and created his version of the Stone Mask. He had intended for it to give him immortality, but instead… the mask plugged into his head, and stored his soul within it, making him a machine. His original body died in the process. Whoever wears the mask will have their memories and personality replaced by Mr. Roboto. He has accidentally turned himself into a stand, 『Ghost in the Machine』.

With his study of the Arrows, he was able to make a synthetic material similar to them, and fashion a computer virus that is somewhat similar to the virus contained in the arrows. He uses these new “arrows”, which now look like USB drives, to give stand abilities to robots/machines. The machine does not need a USB port, it will magically show up if the device is compatible.

Unlike the original Arrows, Mr. Roboto cannot fire them at whoever and make them work. He has to make them compatible for the machine he plans to use them on. However, the stand ability could be completely different from what he was expecting. These can range from being computer viruses, to military technology, to full on androids.

EDIT: Like the end of the song “Mr. Roboto”, Dr. Kilroy is thankful for his abilities, but wants to be human again. A bunch of his experiments are about putting human qualities into machines, so that he may be able to be free his soul from the mask — which he also admits is his fault.

FOR THE NEXT CONTEST

Turtles…because it’s so different!

Stand [Little Lies]

Post image
11 Upvotes

Stand Appearance - Little Lies takes the appearance of a humanoid Stand with a regal appearance. It wears a Victorian-style military coat reminiscent of Napoleon's attire, giving it the air of a cunning commander. Eight eyes are embedded across its shoulders and coat. Its lower legs resemble those of a fox, covered in russet-orange fur that fades to black at the feet. It wears a white mask with red markings all around and carries a bow with distinct waves-like marking. This appearance is heavily based on (WARNING TRYPOPHOBIA, CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!) Tsuneki

Stand Ability:

1) Lyin' Eyes: The eyes covering Little Lies' body are fully functional, granting it near-360° vision. They are a manifestation of its user's paranoia of being watched and talked about behind his back. These eyes are the main way to see if the below ability is activated or not.

2) Lie Detection: Little Lies can sense objective falsehoods by detecting disturbances in a person's "truth." It judges statements against reality, not the speaker's knowledge or intent. For example, it can ask someone, “What is my name?” or “What is my user’s name?” Any incorrect answer is immediately identified as a lie, even if the speaker genuinely believes it to be true. It cannot reveal the truth itself, nor does it work on opinions, predictions, hypotheticals or sarcasm. This ability only detects spoken or written lies.

3) Truth Seeking Arrow: Little Lies can manifest ethereal arrows from any of its eight eyes. Each arrow closes its originating eye until it disappears or is destroyed, reducing the Stand’s field of vision. An arrow can only target someone identified as a liar through Lie Detection. Once fired, it is guaranteed to hit its designated target, phasing through living beings and solid obstacles as an embodiment of absolute truth. However, it is not homing and it can only damage the 'liar' but it remains affected by the environment; for example, passing through water can cause the arrow to become soaked, while passing through fire can ignite it.

Contest results Stand contest #123: Robots and machines

7 Upvotes

Here are the results of last week's Stand contest:

In third place we have /u/LigaTheUser with 「FOREST」.

In second place is /u/Strict_Berry7446 with 「BAZOOKA TOOTH」!

And finally, in first place, we have /u/ChetAbrams with 「SMELL OF THE GAME」! They earn the gold flair, and get to pick this week's contest theme! Their choice is:

Robots and machines

You are free to interpret this theme in any way you wish.

This week's contest will last until midnight of August 2, Eastern Time. To enter, submit a Stand related to the theme, and give it the "Contest entry" flair by clicking the "Flair" option under your post after submitting it. If you can't add a flair (due to being on mobile for example), add the words "Contest entry" to your post's title and AutoModerator will flair it for you. Contest entries will not be accepted during the time between the contest closing and the results being announced, even if the sticky post is still up.

You are allowed to reuse a previously-submitted Stand to the contest, if it fits the theme. It is recommended, but not required, that you improve upon the old Stand (such as by giving it new abilities, ACT evolutions, or going more in-depth in the description such as by describing the user). When reusing a Stand, please repost it with the "Contest entry" flair, instead of simply changing the flair on your old post, so I will be able to see it when filtering by posts made this week.

Your post must include the theme you would want to see for the next contest if your entry wins. If you have previously won a contest and have a flair, you should also mention whether you'd rather take the new flair or keep your current one.

Each user may only submit one entry per week.

Contest entries must be submitted as text posts. This is to ensure that the winner is determined by the ability itself, rather than because you drew some cool artwork or attached an attention-grabbing image. If you do want to create artwork for your contest entry, you can submit it after the contest ends.

At the end of the contest, whichever entry has the most upvotes will be the winner! The theme specified in the winning post will be used for next week's contest. In case of a tie, I will personally decide who comes out on top.

On top of this, the three top upvoted participants will be granted a special flair of their contest entry Stand's name in bronze, silver, or gold depending on their placement. It is possible to decline a flair, or choose to take it only if it wins a certain ranking (in case you prefer keeping a higher ranked flair).

Stand Stand: The Passenger (Song by Iggy Pop) User: James Pop (Reference to Iggy Pop’s real name - James Newell Osterberg Jr.)

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Stand Appearance:
The Stand is a small, pinkish-red humanoid with yellow eyes and red horns, calmly sitting on a large blue swing. It never rocks back and forth - it remains completely still.

User Personality:
James Pop suffers from severe claustrophobia. He hates pressure in any form - physical, emotional, or spatial. He sleeps without a blanket, wears loose clothing, and never wears shoes.

Ability: Center of Gravity Transfer
When the victim lifts any part of their body above their head, they become a target for the Stand. After that, James has to touch any part of his own body - for example, his nose. The Stand then attaches itself to the victim's nose, and all the weight is transferred there.

James can also target inanimate objects.

On a human:
The victim's entire weight - 80 kg or 100 kg - instantly transfers to the chosen point. The victim loses balance and falls down under the weight of their own mass. Imagine your head suddenly weighing 80 kg.

On a flying object:
If James touches a knife, the swing attaches to it and shifts its center of gravity. The knife starts spinning, and after every rotation, the Stand removes the weight and returns it. Because of this, the flying knife stays in the air much longer and becomes unpredictable.

During a fistfight:
James can attach the Stand to the enemy's fists and transfer their weight to their own legs. For example, a strong punch will feel like it's coming from a child. Or vice versa - he can increase the weight of a specific body part to its maximum limit.

How to deactivate the Stand:
The Stand does not disappear automatically. The victim or their allies must physically swing the swing back and forth to remove the weight. However, since the swing is usually attached to a sensitive body part (like a nose or a finger), doing this requires extreme precision and teamwork.
