Posted Image"It was me, Dio!"
Name: Dio Brando
Race: Vampire
Gender: Male
Age: A little over 123 as of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3, but an unknown amount of time passed with crazy shenanigans happening and a little more after he became the Sun Grail.
Element: Mercury. Originally not from Weyard, he did not have an elemental theme until he was converted into the Sun Grail, which arguably makes him a master of alchemy the easy way. Given his control over time, you could comically say his natural element is Saturn. But really if you had to put a finger on it, he would probably be naturally Mercury with some proficiency in Venus (weakness/opposition to Mars in the form of unconcentrated sunlight and has to use his regeneration ability at high speed to safely be on fire, blonde, has the ability to freeze parts of himself and then others as a vampire, ability to cure wounds without explanation, use of liquid as an attack, but also some strange command over life energies and weird vampire bioimplanty stuff, some form of situational teleportation that could be Retreat instead of his Stand)


Proficiencies

Build: Warrior. His original freelancery lack of formal psynergy but supreme physical strength and the Sun Grail's absolute not-body excess of psynergetic energies have more or less evened each other out.
Weapons: Throwing knives, claws/fists, short blade if desired, bow-and-arrow, firearms. Tends to use only the throwing knives and unarmed combat supported by his natural abilities and Stand.
Combat Role: Striker but has so many random capabilities he is a Jack of All Trades.


Abilities

Class: Holy Vampire (0)-> Pillar Man Sacred (djinn equipped but not at least one in all elements or in another class configuration)-> Heaven Ascension Illya-Dracula (1 or more of each element up to next tier) -> God Of The World Over Heaven (2 of each element) -> Demiurge's Universe Arcana (3 Mercury, 2 Venus, 2 Mars, 2 Jupiter).

Abnormally high stats all around.

Spells: Too many to list. Virtually any psynergy or other technique he encounters he can recreate sooner or later for the most part thanking to the unrealistically immense power of the Sun Grail.
Skills: I think the JoJo wiki has this one covered for the most part. As far as the rest beyond superhuman superfast superstrong vampire physiology and the ability to stop time for moderate periods, he possesses the effectively-limitless-and-generating-more energy of an entire reality of alchemical forces by using the Holy Grail ritual primarily of the Einzberns' Third Magic to convert a magically enhanced Dio into a Justeaze-style living ritual grail before using his vampiric powers, Stand spirit, and Pillar Man level bodily control to reassemble himself back into a person while retaining the ritual immense power of the grail, becoming a sort of compressed world as an abuse of the principle of macrocosm. Conveniently with the reinforcement of the Golden Sun courtesy of Alex initiating certain events in an alternative Weyard or several, this also allows him to start up a Holy Grail War whenever he wants. Other random abilities he possesses include but are not limited to: spawning djinn, giving people Stands or similar beings by shooting them with special conjured arrows, impossibly unrealistic mind control charisma-hypnosis, using his Stand 'The World' as a conduit for his other abilities, the ability to initiate portions of the Holy Grail War at will such as granting command seals and summoning Servants (usually to make a contract with one possessing abilities he does not either to learn from them to try and reach the original's strength if they are beyond immediate replication, or simply exploit their Noble Phantasms or other skills), and when given time to gather his power and possibly a successful Holy Grail War or servant-summon-and-kill-spree to open a hole to Akasha or complete the Heaven Ascension ritual, the nigh-omnipotent fists of The World Over Heaven. He may or may not have achieved the Stand powers of several other known Stands (including, most critically, D4C and other Stands associated with the Saint's Corpse and Devil's Palm rather than the Bow and Arrow or other viruses). Really, he's trying to come off as God but only has a fraction of the random utilities required. He may have the fists for it, but everything else is coming along slowly at best.
Fighting Style: Dio is fast, furious, and fights dirty, usually stopping time to make all his obligatory villain monologuing happen in a place where it can't affect the battle while throwing a ton of knives or shooting some other ranged weapons at the enemy, stopping time again and punching them to death with his Stand's fists if that isn't enough the first time around. Against enemies that knives, mundane arrows or firearms, and punching are not enough against or are ineffective or would be dangerous to use, he will resort first to elemental psynergy and random Stand and vampire powers, then use excessive amounts of energy quickly summoning Servants under a modified Holy Grail War system to use their abilities instead. If he has achieved Heaven Ascension, he will simply try to close at superspeed in stopped time for a reality-warping punch to end it instantly.


Character Details

Height: Inspecifically tall, but at comparable height to most taller-than-average people.
Body: Incredibly muscular and well-developed. Blond guy with variable eye color, sometimes has the Joestar family birthmark depending on whether he kept it with body after the nebulous events.
Personality: From the wiki: "Dio is consistently manipulative and violently domineering, and has repeatedly shown a lack of conscience and empathy.

Dio's most recognizable characteristics are his boundless ambition and his love of power. Abused by his father and having lived in the most miserable living conditions, Dio set for himself the goal of becoming the richest, then the most powerful being on earth. To do so, Dio used anything or anyone that he could use to further his goals, disregarding any kind of morality who would restrain the range of actions available to him. Using either manipulation and seduction, or plain violence, Dio constantly sought to become more and more powerful. Dio enjoys being in a position of power and has repeatedly stated how great he felt being in a dominating position. On the contrary, Dio never tolerated that someone could stand up to him or equal him in power, and was several times enraged and deeply disturbed at the thought.

Throughout his life, Dio has tended to surround himself with witless cronies and later minions, who were attracted by his natural charisma. Not thinking much of them at first, he then selected those he deemed as particularly evil, claiming that an evil person wasn't bound by rules such as honor and thus were stronger mentally. This belief culminated in including the absorption of 36 souls of sinners, or as he claims particularly strong souls, to unlock a power greater than that of The World.

Naturally, Dio is an incredibly selfish person, only looking over his own interest and overlooking those of others at best, trampling them on the ground at worst. Due to his composed nature, Dio can and will openly offer himself to any gender using any method, as long as the person suits his present desires. Since he is selfishly interested in their capabilities, however, Dio is the type who is incapable of loving another person wholeheartedly. The only persons he can be said to have held some type of affection for was his mother, Jonathan Joestar, and Enrico Pucci; Dio recognizing Jonathan's worth as equal to his own, and having been friends with Pucci. Still, Dio stole the former's body and his friendship was nonetheless merely a part of a grander plan to further himself."
Bio: Wiki's got us covered. The perks of rebioing an existing character. After the events of JoJo, Dio was recovered by Alex in the trippy part of Hell where people go when their death is part of massive shenanigans that make no sense, and brought back to life as a vampire through cheating and was forced to deal with it by Alex's inexplicable villain agreement magic.

Shortly after, he was given an opportunity to become a narrator-god so as to avoid having to rely on the shenanigans of others again, by achieving phenomenal cosmic power through extremely silly means. His quest to do so included initiated taking the unmodified (cough cough by stealing the Wise One's power to prevent him from interfering first) power of the Golden Sun and the eclipse tower/apollo lens shenanigans, and becoming a Holy Grail somehow by using several biomodification Stand powers to grant himself the extensive magic field circuitry on the level of Justeaze or Illya-supported-by-the-Dress-of-Heaven. Thanking to his relative irrelevance to the story, he was one of many who managed to escape temporarily having their power borrowed by Katie Allen and used this opportunity to negotiate a more casual on-the-side alliance with Alex and Richard after the First Sun Grail War failed spectacularly due to Mia-Remilia being way too OP.
Slightly more serious spell list by manifestations, such as when he is masquerading as a conventional adept with unconventional spellcraft rather than displaying the fact he's godmode^2 for whatever reason.

Vampirism: This manifestation is abilities grown out of Dio's original capabilities as a vampire, lensed slightly into Mercury psynergy. Most of these abilities are simply psynergy enhancements of JoJo vampire powers.
-Tear Beams: Generate hypercompressed fluid from your eyes and shoot it like twin spears capable of slicing through steel. Single target Mercury psynergy attack.
-Spirit Drain: DIO's abstract drain of life force takes a hint from Jupiter and begins draining psionic energy as well as life points. Single target low-damage free drain+psydrain attack.
-Ice Fist: Punch an enemy into freezing them. Mercury attack+damage, high chance of stunning them from the sudden chill attack.
-Hypnotic Charm: Charm an enemy into being stunned for a few turns or attacking another enemy or themselves before they snap out of it.

Material Soul: A combination of his attributes as a Stand user and embodying the Third Magic of the Holy Grail that is wishgranting and the materialization of the soul, he can do crazy stuff with Stands and other souls about.
-Command Seal: Issue an absolute command to the ally material soul tied to magic supply (classically a Servant, but it can be manhandled to apply to a Stand too), forcing a specifically declared action but granting a large amount of power and stat boosts to ensuring it happens when in agreement with the action (i.e. take a turn to declare an action, next action do it with maxed buff status to the relevant stats). Alternatively, it can just be expended to provide its constituent mana directly, restoring a mild amount of PP to the user.
-Rapid Fists: MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA go and punch something really really fast. Attack several times in a row.
-ZA WARUDO: Override reality with The World for a moment to stop time and give yourself two turns (not including the casting one) free from counterattacks that aren't just damage-on-contact.
-Double Pose: Why attack with just yourself or just your stand? Perform a synchronized strike with your Stand for double damage.
-Noble Phantasm Sword Beam: Replicate just one of the Noble Phantasm trace-replicas the Grail clones when conjuring Servants, then blast the entire enemy party with a wave of a giant sword laser.
-Heroic Summon: Temporarily manifest an aspect of a heroic spirit, not as much as a full Servant generation, but enough to act like a fancy full-blown summon sequence. Exact firepower and secondary effects vary wildly, but average out at around Ulysses. Random summon, can be cast from any combination of 4 djinn, substituting about a 4th of the PP bar per djinn below that.
