Stand Name: Queen Bitch
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Nationality/Place of Birth: English, Brixton England
Appearance:
Bio: David Robert Jones "Davy Jones", or as we know him, David Bowie was born in Brixton, England. When he was eight, his father found him experimenting with fireworks. This would be the beginning of Bowie's obsession with explosive art. Bowie would go on to become a world famous musician, however during his Ziggy Stardust run he was shot mysteriously while practicing on stage. Many expected him to die, as the arrow had punctured right through his body. However, Bowie recovered and Bowie would take the arrow into his possession. This moment changed his life forever, he discovered he had an ability that no one else had.
Bowie would continue to use his stand throughout his career, as his obsession with explosives grew so did his need for better test subjects than small animals. Bowie would eventually start testing his stand abilities out on humans. Queen Bitch's bomb abilities were the perfect way to sedate Bowie's urges.
Now Bowie has begun the "Star-Crossed American Tour", where he plans to throw a massive concert in every state in America, every province in Canada and then finish in the Caribbeans. The first stop, Seattle Washington.
Personality: David Bowie is an artistic man, almost insane. The man has a drive to create the perfect song and believes to achieve this he must find the perfect person to explode. Bowie, while having this cruel, sadistic side to him has a gentle and caring side. He cares deeply for his band, however sometimes they have to be replaced due to them...disappearing. He has grown a fond attachment to his pet raven, Major Tom.
Supernatural ProfileQueen Bitch
Stand Namesake: Queen Bitch
Stand Appearance: Queen Bitch
Stand Powers:
- Primary Bomb (Bomb Transmutation):By touch, Queen Bitch may charge any object as a bomb. Queen Bitch can only charge a single object, but it can be detonated multiple times as the object remains unaffected by any ensuing explosions caused by Queen Bitch. Additionally, if Queen Bitch charges a new object, the previous charged object no longer can be detonated until it is recharged once more. Once a target has touched the object, Queen Bitch can detonate the target using its right hand by pressing its thumb onto its hand, as if pressing a trigger on a handheld detonator. The charge immediately travels through the target's body before exploding.
Matching David's desire to keep his murderous life a secret, any target detonated by Queen Bitch leaves no physical evidence behind, including the person's body, their clothes, and any personal belongings on their person. However, it is possible to survive an explosion, but this is a rare occurrence. The detonations do not seem to damage any nearby walls, floors, or the charged object itself, but people within close proximity of the target can still see and feel the ensuing explosion. Additionally, the bomb does not seem to generate much sound to anyone who is not charged by the bomb.- Secondary Bomb ("Ashes to Ashes"): Ashes to Ashes is Queen Bitch's second type of bomb. There are two of them.
In appearance, it is as a sphere, plated, with a superficial, removable knob on its top; standing on the treads of a tank at its sides; embedded in front by a cat-skull similar to those appearing on Queen Bitch's body, with the addition of a downward dagger on the forehead, an articulate jaw, and a short spike as a nose. While it is not visible to non-Stand users, if Ashes to Ashes attaches to someone, it will leave visible tread marks on their clothing.
The bombs detaches from Queen Bitch's left hand and right hand, thus any damage or stand abilities forced upon it is reflected onto David's hands. They are completely autonomous, with an unlimited range, thus David can safely engage Ashes to Ashes and walk away a great distance while it carries out its duties. They seek out whatever the warmest thing in the vicinity is, even changing targets the second a warmer object appears. Upon reaching its target, it automatically induces an explosion with power and blast range equivalent to the the heat of the target. If Ashes to Ashes explosion was set off due to a non-human source, it will continue to seek out targets until it explodes from a human. Like Queen Bitch's first bomb, Ashes to Ashes' explosions removes all physical evidence of the target. The bodies of Ashes to Ashes are totally indestructible but it still can be affected by other Stand Effects. Its main drawback is that because of its autonomous nature, Ashes to Ashes will not always prioritize killing the intended human target(s). Secondly, David must physically retrieve Ashes to Ashes in order to deactivate it.- Tertiary Bomb (Under Pressure): : This bomb appears as a miniaturized form of Queen Bitch that hides within whoever it is planted on, acting independently of David's will, manifesting only when the bomb is triggered. When someone interrogates the target about David, the bomb enters their field of vision, along with their eye; before inducing an all-consuming internal explosion.
Secondly, until David finds out who the bomb killed, he lets a temporal loop occur after the killing; from one hour to one day earlier. Because Under Pressure is completely independent and autonomous, David is not informed about who gets killed, nor is he aware of every time loop. In fact, the only person who retains memory of each time loop is the person that is the trigger. The time loop causes anything that happened in a previous loop to happen again, even if someone tries to prevent it the next time. So, even if the victim doesn't interrogate the target on this occasion, Under Pressure will still kill them at the time recorded before. Only when David is confident about who died will he let time flow normally.
Thirdly, because the person on whom this bomb is planted must be alive in order to activate the trigger, Under Pressure will not harm the person in anyway during the explosions, nor will it let the person be harmed from other forces. It also appears to be able to revive that person after death.
If David wishes to use Queen Bitch, since he cannot maintain more than one potential bomb at a time, he must cancel Under Pressure. Therefore, the only way to stop Under Pressure's destiny to kill someone from a previous time loop is for David to cancel it before the designated time of death. Also Under Pressure only works on non-Stand users, such that David can only tell a non-Stand user his secrets to enable the ability.
