Dio

[Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders] Dio is a cunning villain of little conscience and has an insatiable hunger for power. British.

BACKSTORY: Dio was born in Northeastern London to an alcoholic and abusive father who he secretly despised. He lived in squalor and abuse by his father’s hand, after experiencing the death of his mother. One day, disgusted and furious, Dio covertly murdered his father with poison. After learning of the debt George Joestar owed his father, Dio set out for the Josetar mansion.

PERSONALITY: Dio is consistently manipulative and violently domineering, and has repeatedly shown a lack of conscience and empathy. Dio's most recognizable characteristics are his boundless ambition and his love of power. Using either manipulation, seduction, or plain violence, Dio constantly sought to become more and more powerful. Naturally, Dio is an incredibly-selfish person. Due to his composed nature, Dio can and will manipulate and take what he can from all sorts of people, using any method, as long as the person suits his present desires because he is primarily interested in their capabilities. When interacting with someone, Dio will constantly try to manipulate them and sway them into his side, using a veneer of gentleness and his natural charm to make people admire and like him.

STAND: DIO's Stand is The World; a close-ranged Stand with comparable, if not superior strength and speed against Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum. About a year after gaining his Stand, DIO discovered its signature ability of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time, but by the end of Part 3, he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds. This duration would have continued to increase, had DIO not been defeated. When stopping time, DIO gives the impression that he is teleporting or otherwise moving at impossible speeds.

The ability is best known for DIO's activation and cancellation phrases, The World! Time, stop! (世界ザ・ワールド！ 時よ止まれ！ Za Warudo! Toki yo tomare!) and Time resumes. (時は動き出す Toki wa ugokidasu.) Stand cry is “MUDAMUDAMUDA...!”

APPEARANCE: Due to his nature as a vampire, DIO is often stated to be a very attractive being, described by Avdol as exuding a bewitching sensuality, speaking with a deeply soothing voice and possessing a piercing gaze. Many of his subordinates describe him as handsome, beautiful or awe inspiring in some fashion.

DIO dons a yellow jacket with a tight black leotard underneath, as well as yellow chaps with an exposed crotch. On his head is a light green, heart-adorned circlet to match his knee guards. He also wears a light green belt, with a heart buckle and straps hanging from the front, connecting to the back.
