Joseline was once a carefree spirit, but is now looking to mature herself after a major falling out with her previous relationships. Once one of the many love interests of Kaito “Red Lightning” Senju, she has ended up on a journey to build a new identity for herself that she would be at peace with, after her breakup with her then-girlfriend Linda Crawford, and by extension, the whole of Kaito Senju’s household. The carefreeness of living with Kaito, while very financially and materially secure, left her as an empty husk of a person. She lived her days under his roof mindlessly engaging in empty luxuries and sex with whoever she could, while being restricted in what she could do in the world because of Kaito’s overprotective nature. After she left his household, she took a journey just shy of 2 years traveling the south-eastern United States and grieving over her loss, meditating on what she would now do in life, and slowly maturing as a person. With her return to Supernatural Chicago, she aims to make her life one that will never fall into stagnation again, where she can remain truly free and self-reliant.
Special Abilities
Joseline has all of the given strengths, weaknesses and biological functions associated with vampires, given to her when she was exposed to the VX Virus. She currently has latent magical abilities from the virus, but they are not yet realized or developed.
At the age of 23, Joseline went through a bizarre set of circumstances. At the end of it, she manifested the ability to summon what is known as a Stand, a physical manifestation of her fighting spirit. While a traditional Stand is unable to be seen by non-supernaturals, Joseline’s Stand is considered a part of her physical form, and manifests as an extension of her body. Thus, her Stand is able to be seen by everyone, including regular humans and other non-supernaturals. Also in contrast to other traditional Stands, her Stand is unable to shift between states of physical and incorporeal, and interracts with the world like everything else: normally.
Stand Information
- Stand name
- Wasting Light
- Stand Master
- Joseline Tenjo
Wasting Light is a versatile Stand of liquid that can be solidified and have its form manipulated to any degree the Master desires
Appearance
Wasting Light has three distinct forms, due to the nature of its ability. The first, default form is a dull and gray liquid with a vibrsnt rainbow pattern flowing across its surface, similar in look to an oil spill. The second form is a dark gray, tar-like substance with a less noticeable rainbow pattern on its surface. The last form is a solidified version of the Stand, turning jet black and having whatever rainbow pattern on it turn into a solid imprint. The solid form has a look and texture resembling cast iron. The Stand can vary between these three phases of solidity on a spectrum, getting darker and less transparent the more solid it becomes.
Through solidifying different parts of their Stand to various degrees across their body, the Master is able to make protective armor across their whole body. This armor takes the form of an exoskeleton, with solid covering over the chest, shoulders, elbows, hands, waist, knees, feet, and head to serve as joints. In between these joints is a single solidified bar of the Stand connecting them.
Abilities
Phase Changing Trinity
Wasting Light is able to change its solidity and viscosity to any degree the Master wishes. Separate parts of the Stand can solidify differently from other parts. It can be as thin as water, as sticky and thick as tar, or as solid as metal. Its water form is fully manipulable by its Master, and allows the Master to interact with it as either a solid or a liquid, while everyone else simply interacts with it as a normal liquid. Its viscous form can act as a nearly inseparable adhesive, capable of sticking any two surfaces together with immense strength, whatever the Master wants it to adhere to. Its solid form is the most durable, strong enough to deflect bullets with no noticeable damage, but is unable to have its form manipulated without reverting back into a less solid form. All damage dealt to Wasting Light in its solid form will reflect the Master, but with its high durability, damage that isn’t significantly damaging or deforming to its form will be barely noticeable.
One With Fluidity
As a liquid, the Stand Master can melt their body to become one with Wasting Light. The Master can choose specific parts of their body to merge with the Stand, and have them emerge detached at other parts of the Stand that are in its liquid form. Among many different applications, the most common use is allowing the Master to partially merge with Wasting Light and travel quickly along solid surfaces (The Stand can travel up to 40 MPH/60KMH when traveling)
Pocket Storage
Wasting Light can merge any nonliving material into itself while it’s in its liquid or viscous form. The limit to how much can be stored in the Stand is as much as the Master can physically bear to carry. Anything stored inside of Wasting Light will act as a constant weight on the Master, leaving the Master mostly carrying small, light objects. Objects can only be ejected out of its storage in a liquid or viscous part of the Stand.
Exoskeleton Armor
Wasting Light is able to take the form of armor around its user. This armor is a mostly exposed exoskeleton, with solid coverings of certain body parts acting as joints for the connecting bars of the exoskeleton. These connecting bars are, at both ends, attached to the joints of the armor with less solid, more liquid and viscous forms of the Stand. This allows the connecting bars to slide around the joints and around the Master’s body, acting as a constantly moving deflector of physical harm. These connecting bars can move very quickly from one spot to another to block single forceful blows without the Master even needing to focus, as most Stands instinctively protect the Master from harm when they can. With high concentration, the Master can have these connecting bars spin at extremely fast speeds, With enough speed to deflect bullets before they can touch the user. This defensive strategy takes intense concentration and focus to maintain, so the Master will have much less coordinated and slower attacks on their end. The weak points of this armor are the helmet, as it is made up of a less solid form of the Stand’s fully solid form to avoid concussions, the neck, the upper forearms, which are simply a still bar connecting the shoulder and elbow joints, and hands, which are completely exposed on the palm side
Memory Recall
Joseline has practiced a way to cause small ripples in Wasting Light in its liquid form, manipulating its shape and rainbow pattern in small ways to show a vague image/set of images of whatever visual thoughts she has. It is not very accurate to giving smaller, specific details, like how a person looks or all items in a room, and is never fully representative of the visual thoughts Joseline has.
Backstory
Joseline Tenjo, born on May 28, 1990, in Sacramento, California, faced a tragic start as she was abandoned by her parents, left on the side of the road. Her parents have never been identified, the only indicators of her parents' life being an expensive, "rich person's" baby cradel she was left in, indicating a wealthy family, and a DNA test she took in adulthood revealing most of her ancestry was French. Joseline has concluded herself that she was abandoned by two careless wealthy lovers on vacation. Orphaned at birth, she grew up in the embrace of an orphanage where the matron became a surrogate mother. It was this orphan matron who taught Joseline empathetic habits and mannerisms at a young age, shaping most of her personality today. Life took a cruel turn when the matron was murdered during a routine grocery run, a victim of a senseless act of violence.
At the age of 17, with a new matron being assigned to the orphanage, Joseline decided to break free from the familiar walls and began hitchhiking across the country. Little did she know, her journey would lead her to a confrontation with her orphan matron's murderer, a vampire. She sought them out to take revenge, and in the ensuing fight Joseline was thrust into a life-or-death situation she would surely lose. However, parts of her own latent supernatural powers would scrape her away from the jaws of defeat multiple times in her fight with the vampire, unconsciously. This, along with her outsmarting the vampire in a multi-hour cat-and-mouse chase, would make her come out victorious in the end and kill the vampire. Shortly after this encounter, the vampires allies and friends wanted revenge, and sought Joseline out to kill her. In a desperate bid to have her life spared, Joseline begged to break the peoples' vendettas by doing odd jobs and favors for them. They miraculously agreed, and sent Joseline on multiple dangerous and potentially lethal jobs/missions. Through these bizarre circumstances, she fully realized her latent supernatural potential and developed a Stand, a physical manifestation of her fighting spirit. She named the Stand "Crazy Train" and used her newfound supernatural abilities to defend herself from and escape being a lifelong indentured servant.
Her travels became a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, where she became an independent and confident woman full of life and energy. By 2017, Joseline arrived in Chicago, Illinois, where she encountered Jana Senju, a fae with an enchanting presence. Romance blossomed, but tragedy struck again when Joseline faced another vampire encounter. This time, her blood was drunk, and she was infected with the VX Virus. She only survived this encounter when Jana woke up while she was being drunk from, and deterred the vampire before he could drink all of Joseline's blood. She turned into a vampire after recovering from the attack. Their relationship endured despite this, but later in life, Joseline's carefree and immature nature led to the end of her relationship with Jana, when she impulsively cheated on her. In the aftermath, she crossed paths with Kaito "Red Lightning" Senju, a powerful Shinobi. Adventures ensued, and Kaito claimed her as one of his lovers, marking her with the Senju clan's symbol.
Yet, Joseline's life became stagnant under Kaito's overprotective influence. Seeking freedom, she began dating a woman named Linda Crawford, also claimed by Kaito. This would only give her a temporary and shallow reprise from a hole forming deep within her soul. Joseline eventually persuaded Kaito to let her continue her nationwide adventures, and she brought Linda along with her. With Linda not being as adventurous as Joseline, they decided to settle down in Minneapolis for a few months before continuing their adventures. In this time, Linda had decided to sign up to the Cadet Program for the Minneapolis Police Department, to Joseline's shock. As Linda pursued a career in law enforcement, Joseline tried to dissuade her, fearing the corruption she witnessed during her travels to befall Linda as well. She refused to. The relationship ended in betrayal, causing Joseline to sever ties with both Linda and the Senju family.
Between 2021 and late 2023, Joseline embarked on a journey through the south of the United States, grieving her losses and maturing as an individual. Her Stand continued to evolve, reflecting her growth. Through meeting more people, going through more adventures involving the supernatural underworld, and reflecting on how she could grow as a person, she had mellowed out her more eccentric and carefree side. She could truly call herself a self-dependent person by this point, and with this growth, her Stand's powers evolved as well. It would now take on the name of "Wasting Light". By late 2023, Joseline returned to Chicago to bury the negative memories of her stagnant past. It marked the beginning of a new chapter, where she aimed to forge her destiny and leave behind the shadows of her tumultuous past.
