**Stand Ability:** Tectonic Simulator

By touching an solid surface, the user can divide it plates which match those of the tectonic plates that reside on Earth. The size of each individual plate is directly proportional to the area of the surface. For example, the Nazca plate representative will have a size that depends on if the user is touching the side of a car door or the side of a giant wall. The maximum surface area on which the user could generate these plates is 10,000m² (or 100x100 meters).

While the user can note of movements in its range via vibrations in a surface, such as steps on the ground, the main ability is to simulate earth and tectonic shifts within these surfaces. Such surface manipulation follows the standard form of Divergent, Convergent, and Transformation plate boundaries:

* Divergent motion can be used to move the plates away from each other or raise one of the plates upwards like a formation mountain with a maximum height of 5 meters being achievable.

* Convergent moves two plates towards each other with the thinner one being pushed underground. These can be used to create trenches that are a meter deep at most.

* Transformation which is where two plates slip past each other can cause breaks and make faults in the surface.

One particular limitation deals with thickness. Although the Stand covers a wide surface area, it cannot go past anything that is thicker than a meter. For example if a wall is two meters thick, then the surface of the wall will be affected but not the rest of it. There is also a limit on which surfaces can be affected. Only solid surfaces can be affected and up to five surfaces at a time.

And whilst the ability to cover a large range of ground is definitely noteworthy, the earthquakes that can be created overall lack power. They mostly rely on the material breaking upon rubbing or converging with itself meaning extremely solid or dull ground might entirely limit the Stand ability's effects.

**Power: A** (The Stand's control over the environment gives it an incredibly destructive edge as its seismic simulation allows it to destabilize the environment and topple structures. This also supports Daichi when moving what could easily be hundreds of tonnes of a surface)

**Speed: C** (Though the spread of plate tectonics is near instant when the surface is touched, the techniques the stand utilizes aren't up to par. The user can travel with the plates but usually at the speed of a Human runner)

**Durability: E** (The stand itself is incredibly frail and effectively a mirage/phenomenon. It has no real physical form and can be dissipated by strong winds or remarking its image)

**Range: A** (The stand's wide range is what allows it to stick onto multiple surfaces, with surface areas up to 10,000m²)

**Precision: B** (The stand requires precision in order to properly ratio the tectonic plates and observe every pace of the surface it's covering).

**Potential: B**

**Stand Oddities:** The stand has no real physical form. Instead it appears as a mirage on the surface of whatever surface the user has touched. The stand can also appear anywhere on the affected surface, though it's little more than a mirage.

**Fighting Style:** Daichi is a ranged fighter who abuses their manipulation of the earth itself to deal with others. They'll use the different plate boundaries to move around whilst on top of their own plate as if they were surfing or raise them with the divergent technique to create platforms to hop on. Their strength comes from their control of the battlefield and they can use this to create unease with their targets or even eliminate undesirables whilst out of sight.
