MIA

**Name:** *M.I.A.*


**Age:**  Approximately 20


**Gender:** F


**Species:** Human


**Occupation:** Technically speaking, MIA is unemployed and out of education, going about every day with minimal responsibilities. In actuality, she is a thief with ties to unsavory figures in the community. She rips off stores for cash and jewelry, pawning what she gets.


**Physical Description:** About 5 foot 6, lean build. Wavy black hair that falls past her shoulders, olive skin tone. She's often seen wearing a short red leather jacket, a black one piece swimsuit, yellow shorts, black calf high socks and comfortable shoes, and a pair of goggles around her neck that seem a little heavy duty for swimming. On closer examination, they are polarized industrial goggles from a mining site. Left of her lips is a beauty mark


**Personality:** There are two sides to MIA's personality. Often, she acts carefree and happy. She likes to move with a bounce in her step as if she had a great song in her head, laughs easy, likes to go out to cheap bars and chat with strangers. But, as quickly as her mood rises, it can fall as if she remembers that she doesn't deserve to be happy. During these episodes she is short on words, spitting out what she has to say and direct in her actions. In addition to her personality, her confidence rises and falls. She can feel like a world beater moments before a terrorizing paranoia cripples her. She has a strong sense of right or wrong, as in she knows if you’ve done the right things for her or wronged her.



**History:** The year is 2013. The world did not end last December. But, if you listened to the girl’s classmates any time a single negative thing happened, you could believe that the world had been constantly ending for the past 10 months. The middle school track team had just completed a run down to the lake and back, and seven people declared the world was ending then and there. MIA rolled her eyes at her friends. Wimps. An origami crane drifted down from the sky and landed on her shoulder, bumping her cheek with its head. She glanced to see if anyone would notice before patting the small stand on its head. MIA pulled her RAZR out and flipped it open with a flourish. Quality. She punched her mom's number in, pinning it between her cheek and shoulder. The phone rang.


The year is 2014. MIA carefully pulled the back door shut, desperate to make no sound. Having her older siblings wake up to her plot would be the end of it all. But to have her younger siblings wake up? That was her deepest fear. She reached into one of her cranes and pulled out shoes and a jacket. Not yet spring, she could see her breath. MIA hadn't run for a few months, but her pace was quick, direct. She knew where she had to go, she knew what she had to do. "Angel's Thesis." It was what she named her stand, an intimidating figure. The tall figure was different from the others that she already knew, but it was exactly what she needed tonight. This stand, the manifestation of her inner soul. It was her problem solver.


The year is 2016. Although she doesn't understand how the world is supposed to work, MIA knows how her world works. She walks through a busy marketplace and releases a Paper Wing from her hand, sending the paper airplane to steal from a register. She releases a second plane to fetch her an apple and a drink, a third figure dropping her new goods into the palm of her hands. On the back of her neck she felt hairs rise up. Someone was following her. MIA took a bite of her apple, no concern in her stance as she continued to walk.


The year is 2018.  The newness of her life was fading, but that didn't mean she couldn't enjoy herself. She had it all, money, connections, freedom. There was a calling for people like her, stand users, to go on some fools errand. Why would she ever accept something like that? Coming into contact with other stand users, that was for others. MIA was content hiding away in her own corner of the world, using her power, her Angel's Thesis, to enforce her will. What would she even do if a stand user approached her? Irrelevant question.


The year is 2019. They're everywhere. She can hardly spread her Paper Wings without encountering another stand user. Individual stand users with menacing auras, stand users moving together in packs, nowhere was safe. Only in her apartment did she feel safe, but she suspected that the new couple that moved in above her was a pair of stand users who knew who she was. It was only a matter of time before she was confronted, trapped with her back against a wall.


**Equipment:** Thanks to her stand's ability, MIA brings with her a lot of gear. Items includes three identical revolvers, ammunition including standard (60)  FMJ bullets (12) and blank rounds (24), three pre-loaded speed loaders (with 18 of her standard bullets), a scope for her revolvers, a few changes of clothes including jacket, hat, gloves, dressy clothes, and streetwear, a wallet with extra cash and an ID with a fake name address and birthdate, toiletries and makeup, snacks and a water bottle, Everclear (95% alcohol content, a note she taped to it makes it clear not to drink it straight), pulpy OJ, a torch lighter, a sizable quantity of cash, a phone, high powered flashlight, a small thing of pepper spray, five walkie talkies, rags,  knife, screwdriver, hammer, binoculars, duct tape, a ream of printer paper, some half used pens and markers, marbles, tacks and bent nails, high powered flashlight, a 8 bullet capacity pistol with two loaded magazines with blanks for intimidation, and look at this net that she just found.


**Strength:2** MIA isn't very physical, but she keeps in shape. It's not that she's helpless, its just that she figures why would anyone choose to fight for themselves when you have a stand to do it for you.


**Agility:5** Growing up, MIA excelled in track and field as well as living a very adventurous life. She roamed the treacherous and mountainous landscape, hurdling over obstacles and leaping from boulder to boulder with ease, making a game out of everything. Since leaving home she keeps even more fit, swimming and running with the free time afforded by her high efficiency money making schemes. She knows that at the first sight of a fight, she’s better suited to running away.


**Endurance:3**  MIA is far from the toughest person in the room, but she knows how to handle herself. She can hold herself tough as she forces her way through a crowd and she’s taken a few blows here and there without much issue. She would prefer to just not get hit, but you can’t always get what you want.


**Revolver:3** Growing up with few neighbors and a lot of empty space, MIA grew up firing guns with her siblings, and the gun that she gravitated towards was the revolver. With her newfound wealth she has customized out three revolvers, each identical with an easy trigger. MIA is ambidextrous and can fire one handed, though trying to fire two at once leads to messy aim. When she focuses she can draw a straightline from wherever to wherever using all axises. She can pinpoint and track moving targets, fire and mitigate recoil, reload swiftly, and she learned how to spin and toss her guns like some sorta revolver obsessed weirdo.


**Sneaking and stealing:3** When her mood goes sour, MIA prefers to be left alone. She's gotten really good at blending into crowds and hiding away from prying eyes. She also can keep her activities secret. This lends itself to improving her ability to snatch a wallet out of a pocket or palm something from a store.


**Stand Name:** Angel's Thesis


**Stand Type:** Cruel bag


**Stand Appearance:** Angel's Thesis appears to be a very lean tall humanoid figure. It's body and limbs are thin, it has a pair of white angular wings, and its head takes the form of two long right angle triangles that combined into a pyramid. Its body is a dull yellow and looks like it was made out of folded paper.


The small offshoots of AT, known as Paper Wings, look like sheets of paper, 8.5 by 11 inches, although these offshoots can join together to form larger sheets of paper. They traditionally fold into the shape of a paper plane, but they can form other shapes such as folded origami, or small hands.


**Stand Ability:** Angel's Thesis' primary ability is to access its Angel's Plane. The AP is an empty void with a radius of 50m in every direction from the center. AT and its Paper Wings can pluck or catch objects in and out of reality into the AP as if they were portals. For instance, it could take a single dollar bill out of a wallet and place it into one Wing, and then take the dollar out of another Wing and place it in MIA's hand. The action of moving an object happens instantaneously. It can take the entirety of an object (Within a moderate amount, it can't take an entire house but a few PWs working together can take in a car and a few working together to deposit said car), or carefully and precisely remove parts of the object. This removal is seamless, and the removed parts can be fit right back where they were previously no harm no foul or be removed as if sliced by a fine knife. The Angel's Plane can take in anything, although Stand Users and their Stands can not go through the Angel’s Plane. When drawing something into the AP, one of three things can happen to the thing's momentum. Either it can lose all momentum (For instance a falling cellphone is taken into the Plane and returned to reality stationary), it can carry the same momentum (a thrown ball is taken into the Plane and returned to reality with the same speed it had when it entered), or it can have momentum added, as if thrown by Angel's Thesis itself (A bottle of water sitting on a table is taken into the Plane and then thrown out).


Angel's Thesis can create minions to spread out to do its work, small offshoots known as its Paper Wings. The Wings number is up to 30 at a time. When a Wing is destroyed, a new Wing can take its place from AT’s body ten seconds after the destruction of its predecessor.


**Power:C** For being so thin, AT packs a powerful punch, Knocking down and beating back assailants for its User. The Paper Wings are also strong, capable of making their edges incredibly sharp or ramming into targets.


**Speed:B** Angel's Thesis' punches and kicks come out rapid fire, and it as well as its Paper Wings float through the air with a high rate. It can take objects in and out of the Angel's Plane instantaneously. Any destroyed Paper Wing regenerates within 10 seconds.


**Range:B** Angel's Thesis and Paper Wings can travel up to 50 meters away from MIA. The Angel's Plane has the same size as AT's range, extending 50 meters from the center.


**Durability:E** Angel's Thesis and the Wings are fairly weak to direct blows. Angel’s Thesis prefers to stay out of the fight as a result, directing its Wings to do the fighting and suffering for it while the large stand stays out of the action.


**Precision:B** Angel's Thesis and its Wings have a masterful ability to precisely locate, take in, and place objects at the precise location they need to be. AT and its constructs have incredible senses. With its immense precision the full stand, Wings and Thesis, can coordinate positions and spacing around MIA to create a field of Absolute Terror.


**Potential:C** Now you're thinking with portals!


**Stand Oddities:** Angel's Thesis is, essentially, a second side to MIA. They share senses and thoughts and feelings, but it is capable of acting outside of her will. The stand whispers into her ear, deciding the path MIA takes. It is cold to others, with a voice like a whisper. The stand proper represents her fears, anxieties, isolation, and paranoia.


On a more cheery note, MIA sometimes writes shopping lists on the Paper Wings. Pen doesn't actually affect them, but they shift their appearance to look like they were written on. Paper Wings are affectionate and enjoy keeping company with MIA as if they were small pets, with light voices. The offshoots represent her joy, sense of adventure, connection to others, and the feeling of being home.


Damage to Angel's Thesis' body is reflected back to MIA. Damage to Paper Wings are not reflected, but when a Wing takes enough damage it dissolves, requiring Angel's Thesis to release a new Paper Wing from its body. The full suite of the stand can communicate with itself and its user through writing or sharing senses.


**Fighting Style:** MIA and her Angel's Thesis prefer to avoid confrontation. They act at range, moving objects into new locations that suit their needs. Her revolvers are used primarily for intimidation, but she won't hesitate to fire when the time is right.

**Team Preference:** MIA’s life is in a precarious position. She could rise above her sketchy past to find new inspiration, or reject her conscious and do what feels best for MIA. Ultimately she wants to be with interesting people who can push her to be greater, and whatever that means is up to interpretation.
