Na: Out Of Sight (Out of Sight, nad according to the consistent naming rules of Stands, inspired by Western music. In Japanese, it sounds approximately like "Autos race to" or "Auto musette")
Destructive Power: A
Speed: A
Precision: A
Durability: E
Range: B
Growth: ?
...
"Why is Growth a question mark? And the Durability is too weak, isn’t it?" Watching Feng Xue’s panel for herself, even though a panel with triple-A in strength, speed, and precision is already of an Immortal-level close-combat Stand, she still had so complaints about the E-rank Durability.
"There’s nothing you can do about being weak, right?" Feng Xue spread her hands, sat casually on the sofa, propped up her legs, and spoke in a careless manner.
"I’m really sorry for being weak then!" Yayuka glanced at her Stand with a subtle expression, slowly coming down from her initial excitent.
This Stand she nad "Out Of Sight" seed to be made of a mixture of smoke and water, covered in various eye patterns that were sowhat eerie-looking at first glance.
It didn’t have any clear gender features, and its voice tended to be chanical, using masculine vocabulary only occasionally when speaking.
"What’s your ability?" she asked.
"Unknowable."
"Unknowable? Don’t tell you have none," Yayuka’s face showed a touch of disappointnt. Was it like the blind Stand, Silver Chariot? Did she need to find an Insect Arrow to prick it?
Alright, Yayuka admitted she got a bit overexcited, but this was a Stand! No JoJo fan could stay calm, right?
"It’s not that I don’t know, but that the ability itself is ’unknowable.’" Feng Xue spread her hands, stood up from the sofa. Although she looked like a human, she was essentially like a creation from Yayuka’s spirit tainted by Demonic Qi. If this were the previous Martial World, there wouldn’t be any fundantal difference compared to the Gu Worm of a Gu Cultivator or the body mutation of a Demon Cultivator.
Put in a widely known context, it was like an alien that had absorbed the host’s DNA features.
Walking with steps full of JoJo vibe, the Stand approached Yayuka. The simplistic eye symbols on its body began to close one by one. Yayuka, facing a Stand towering two heads taller than her, couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
But in that instant, the Stand that had been crystal clear in her sight suddenly vanished.
She used to feel its presence like an extension of her body, and now it had completely disappeared, as though everything before was an illusion.
"Hey!"
Yayuka panicked a bit, looking around, but she couldn’t find the noticeably visible body until that chanical voice rang in her ear again—
"Unknowable ans invisible, intangible, inaudible, without trace, undetectable, incomprehensible."
As she spoke, Feng Xue appeared again in front of Yayuka, and subsequently waved her hand, saying:
"Of course, since it’s a Stand, limited changes in body structure are also possible, like this..."
In Yayuka’s eyes, the Stand’s finger suddenly elongated quite a bit. But, just as she wanted to exclaim "teor Finger Stab," she stared dumbfounded as the Stand’s height slightly decreased, and in place of that, two bumps swelled up on its chest.
"Eh, that’s possible too? Then..."
As thoughts were rising in Yayuka’s mind, those two bumps moved downward like mounds of earth raised by soone burrowing underground in an ani, transforming into a bulging belly, and finally into a tail!
"Ah! What are you doing? Why are you transforming into that?!"
Yayuka flailed her arms franticly, squinting while still sneakily watching. Feng Xue smiled and restored the Poisonous Insect Body to its default state, spreading her hands and saying:
"That’s because you were just thinking about whether it’s possible to do that!"
"Nonsense, I didn’t think that!" Yayuka flatly denied it, but Feng Xue revealed a smile that made her uneasy:
"Co on, I am your Stand, don’t I know what you are thinking?"
"Cough cough, so your abilities are body transformation and invisibility, right?" Yayuka awkwardly changed the subject. Feng Xue did not press further; after all, the Poisonous Insect Body is controlled by the host, just that it has lower authority.
But currently, the host is in another dinsion, and Feng Xue didn’t want to push her too hard to avoid any funny business like fighting over control and causing ntal wear.
So, she nodded and said:
"If you want to understand it superficially, then you can think of it that way, but in reality, it’s a bit more special than invisibility. Overall, you can consider it as I can hit others, but they can’t hit ; I can see them, but they can’t see ."
"Isn’t that the built-in ability of Stands?" Yayuka retorted, thinking to herself that she really ended up with a blank slate Stand, and it seed that they didn’t even share a field of vision. So was she really just a blank slate blind person? She wouldn’t have to face a situation where there’s a ti-stopping vampire upstairs and a ti-erasing Mafia downstairs, would she?
"Ah..." Feng Xue sighed speechlessly as if that made sense too. Seeing that Feng Xue no longer argued, Yayuka picked up an energy bar from the table, bit into it, and said:
"Do you know what’s the deal with those Kaidan?"
As soon as she asked this, Yayuka felt the atmosphere turn a bit strange because the Stand in front of her was looking at her as if she were an idiot, which made her feel insulted.
"Why are you looking at like that?"
"My master, I was just born a few hours ago! I can only know what you know, get it? How can I know about things you don’t even know? I don’t even know where the edge of the universe is!"
"..." Yayuka’s gaze turned a bit cold, then with a strain, she said:
"But I don’t even know about the na ’Autos race to!’ How co you can na yourself?"
"Do you really not know?" The corners of Feng Xue’s mouth curled up slightly, speaking just as Yayuka’s uneasy thoughts rose:
"My master, should I remind you of that phase in your adolescence when you fantasized about yourself..."
"Quack! Don’t go on, I don’t want to rember that, wah!"
Seeing Yayuka starting to crouch defensively and hold her head, Feng Xue imdiately knew she had gambled right. The Poisonous Insect Body did not have the ability to read minds, and it only absorbed Life Essence, not the deep sea of the subconscious. Surface level thoughts could be sensed by the Heart of Bright Mirror and Still Water, but deep mories were out of reach.
However, if you’re a JoJo fan, especially one who’s gone through that adolescent phase, then how could you not have combed through various Western song titles in search of one that appeals to you as a Stand’s na?
You might have even created your own Stand panel and abilities!
