Summary[]
When he was 14 years old, Risotto Nero witnessed the death of his cousin at the hands of a drunk driver. Incapable of letting this go, he assassinated the perpetrator years later where he then took up a profession as an assassin before joining Passione and gaining a Stand.
He was assigned his own team, La Squadra Esecuzioni, the Hitman Team, but after concluding he and his team were not treated the same as the others, Risotto decided to look into the true identity of the Boss. This cost him two of his men, and, enraged and branded a traitor, Risotto was driven even further in his goals, to exact his revenge on the Boss and take his place.
Powers and Stats[]
Dimensionality: 3D
Threat Level: Likely Cub+ physically, Unknown with Stand
Powers and Abilities: He and Metallica have the basic abilities of Stand Physiology, Magnetism Manipulation, Blood Manipulation and limited Metal Manipulation (His Stand, Metallica, has the ability to produce a magnetic effect that extracts iron from humans, planets, and animals alike. In humans, Risotto's particular source to draw on is in their blood), Invisibility and Presence Concealment (With his Stand, Risotto could give himself camouflage to blend and disappear into his surroundings), Limited Danmaku (Could effectively surround his target with many scapels and other metallic sharp objects), Body Control and limited Healing (Can reattach severed limbs with his Stand if needed)
Physical Strength: Likely Street level physically, Unknown with Stand
Attack Potency: Likely Street physically (Is a Stand user, and thus should be comparable those such as Trish Una and Narancia; the latter whom can knock a grown man down with one punch), Unknown with Metallica (It's a Stand bound to Risotto's body within his blood and attacks through its ability of extracting iron from Nero's enemies)
Durability: Likely Street physically
Speed: FTLx (Fast enough to launch a slew of scalpels at King Crimson, to where while most were deflected, a few managed to land)
Intelligence: Genius. Level-headed and analytical, Risotto is an expert assassin who took up the profession even before joining Passione and awakening his Stand, after which his experience combined with his Stand's abilities made his work even more efficient in addition to giving him means to torture and interrogate his targets. This enables him to carry out his jobs with a cautious, methodical approach that allowed him to outsmart Doppio throughout their fight. As a result, he was able to consistently stay a step ahead of Doppio, escaping into invisibility whenever necessary and badly injuring him through careful, lethal use of Metallica.
Stamina: High. Throughout his fight with Doppio, he was able to endure losing some amounts of blood after having his foot cut off, and reattaches it to continue the encounter. Even when outsmarted by Doppio and being shot up twice by two bursts of shots fired by Aerosmith, he was still conscious enough to utilize his Stand on Aerosmith as a last ditch effort to take the Boss with him.
Range: Standard melee range, up to tens of meters with Stand ability (It has an explicit range effect of 5-10 meters)
Weakness: Standard Stand Physiology weaknesses. Because of Metallica, he naturally attracts metals, offsetting his camouflage. He seemingly needs to take damage to take control of other Stands using Metallica (as is the
Arsenal[]
His Stand, Metallica. A knife.
Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities[]
Metallica: Risotto's Stand, a colony of small metallic beings that reside within his bloodstream.
- Iron Manipulation: Through magnetism, Metallica can control iron within a 5 to 10 meter circle around Risotto. He can draw iron from any source within this range, such as the earth or an opponent's blood, where he can then transform it into an assortment of sharp objects like razor blades, sewing needles, scissors, scalpals, and potentially more.
- Active Camouflage: By coating himself in fine iron particles, Risotto can render himself effectively invisible, as these particles reflect light.
- Blood Manipulation: Risotto's go-to source of iron is the blood of his own opponents, which he can transform into various weapons, which burst from their skin, causing severe internal damage. While this can quickly kill an opponent, it also diminishes the iron in their blood, preventing it from properly circulating oxygen, so even if a opponent survives his initial onslaught, they may suffocate not long after. Risotto can also use this ability on his blood, controlling his own severed body parts and reattaching them by making staples out of his own blood.
- Stand Invasion: If necessary, Metallica can leave Risotto's body to invade another Stand, embedding itself into the Stand and granting Risotto control over that Stand. However, he only used this ability as a last resort after being lethally injured, implying that he must be injured in order for Metallica to leave his body or that he only uses it when desperate.
