THE WORLD'S POWERS
:STAND POWER:
A stand is your very soul, it is the manifestation of your fighting spirit and comes in many different shapes and forms based on who has it. Stands are created from being born with them or being stabbed with the stone arrow but most stand users(that being your/other characters) are born with them. A stand does not always manifest at a young age most do not survive if their stand manifests at a young age and usually go through a fever that can kill them. Stands usually manifest at a certain age of maturity which is at least the age of 11 years, It's rare but there have been TWO stand users who have manifested their stand and used it at less than a year old, that being Shizuka Joestar and The Mannish Boy.
In short, a stand can be described as a "super power" that is usually manifested as a reflection as yourself, albeit reflection is only a technical term, it commonly looks nothing like you some stands are completely ambiguous or literal objects such as guns! Normal people cannot see stands, only other stand users can see stands. The usual use of a stand is simply to protect it's user, thus most of the time is mainly used for combat, although some stands are durable enough to use for more than just combat! so look out!
:MARTIAL ARTS:
There are two kind of martial arts, there is Hamon and then there is Spin.
Hamon
is the...RIPPLE OF THE SUN or as some urbans like to refer to it "sun magic" as once said "Through self-controlled respiration, a trained person can produce an energy manifesting as ripples throughout the body and identical to the energy of the Sun. It can be used in many different ways, but the main use of it is through the user's body, if you have some substance such as Water or oil and cover it an an object with no life such as a sword or steel balls, you can use hamon with those too!
Hamon can be used to "strengthen" the hairs from your own head and use them as needles to toss at your foes, you can even use it to walk on water!...if you're good enough. Another benefit to hamon is that it preserves your life, you can heal others and simply practicing it keeps you young and youthful this means you can look 20 but really be 50 years old, your age only catches up with you in the time it takes to get to that age, so if you have been practicing hamon, look 20 but you are actually 50 but stop using hamon for some reason it will still take 50 years for you to look 50.
Now I bet you are now wondering...how does one practice Hamon? Well, after going through the necessary training to use hamon, some are even born with the ability to use hamon simply from inheriting it from their ancestors. practicing it binds down to simply breathing in an undisclosed way, this is also how you charge hamon so if you are unable to breath then you can't use it so be careful!
BE VERY AWARE since vampires instantly disintegrate when walking into the sun and the fact that Hamon is used to destroy these very creatures, if a vampire knows hamon and tries to use it in anyway it's basically a fancy way of suicide.
thus vampires can not learn hamon
Spin
(Note the lore for spin here is uncanon although works the same, for reasons of origin it has been altered)
Unlike Hamon, Spin can be applied to any object, but it was not created to kill Vampires. The Origins of the Spin are unknown. In today's current age it is one of the methods in Italy used to execute criminals on Death Row. Technically, nobody outside the executioners of Italy should know this art, but due to expats, criminals, and some experimentation, it has spread beyond the borders of the country.
The art of the spin uses the body to apply force to circular or spherical objects, exploiting the Magnus Effect to create a variety of techniques. Spin effects must occur in spirals or circles, following the path of the Golden Rectangle. The Spin can be conducted through objects, but while Hamon is conducted through hard objects, The Spin is conducted through softer ones. This is because the Spin is a force, while Hamon is an energy. It can be used as a medical, defensive, or offensive power, and it's true limits depend on the imagination of the user.
