Guido Mista

Guido Mista is a member of the mafia ring of Italy known as Passione, specifically a member of the team that belongs to Bucciarati. During the events of Golden Wind he travels alongside team leader Bruno Bucciarati, and his close teammates Leone Abbacchio, Pannocatta Fugo, Narancia Ghirga, and new team mate Giorno Giovanna. They travel with a girl named Trish Una, who is the daughter of the Passione Boss, an unidentifiable man who refuses to let anyone, even his daughter, learn his identity. Guido Mista is an 18 year old who prides his simplicity. He leads with the idea that every human being is lead by fate, and in that fate there's no need to feel fear. Life will have it's own ups and downs, but Mista truly believes that in the end every human being takes the path they were meant to. That's why Mista takes pride in the simplicity of life. Food, clothes, moments with friends, simple movie nights and songs on the radio, a night with a pretty girl; these are the things that make life beautiful to Mista. It's the things anyone can have, the things that mean the most to him, simple indulgences. Mista, however, hates one simple thing; the number four. Mista's hatred of the number four comes from the idea that it is a unlucky number- a tradition popular in japan given how the number is pronounced 'shi'- similar to the Japanese word for death. Mista won't eat something if there are only four pieces left, won't pick a choice if there are four options, or join a group if he has to be the fourth member to do so. It's his only hard set rule. Despite his simple way of life, Mista isn't the type to stray from violence, often being the first of his group to jump to shooting or kicking his way through a problem. Mista has no problem with blatantly torturing or dragging out injuries on his enemies for information or just for shits and giggles. Despite enjoying the simple things in life, Mista is not an idiot and can be extremely calculating if needed. He has no problem thinking through a situation before acting, and actually is really intimating to go up against because of it. Before joining Passione Mista's life was a simple one; Mista took everything one day at a time. He flirted with pretty girls, went out late at night on the streets for harmless fun, and would indulge in trips to the movie theater, where he would wait for someone in line to slander the featured actor and then confront them and beat them for their money. Though Mista won most of these fights, he lost plenty, which got him involved with the law quite a bit before he turned 18. One night while spending a night on the town Mista walked past a car to see a man brutally assaulting a girl inside, hitting her and ripping off her clothes. Mista instinctively jumped to action, grabbing the man off the girl and punching him to the ground. In nearly a moment the stranger's friend were on him, pointing guns at Mista. Without panic, Mista approached the attackers, and while they all fired directly on Mista, by a stroke of dumb luck, every single one missed him. Mista took a gun and calmly loaded it, aiming and shooting them all one by one, winning the gunfight without a single scratch. Despite witness testimony, Mista was sentenced to 7 years in jail due to the lack of believably of the situation. For once in his life, he felt as though he made the wrong move, and that his life was over before it started. That was until Bucciarati paid bail for him, letting him out and treating him to a meal. Bucciarati mentions that he saw his story in the newspaper, and saw the potential of an amazing gunman in him, and invites him to join the team he was forming. With little hesitation, Mista agrees, once again falling into the path fate set for him. Mista is a teenager of above-average height and medium build. In contrast to the usual character design, Mista possesses large black irises. He wears uniquely shaped headgear with a diagonal grid pattern and the front shaped like an arrow pointing downward. He is known to keep a lot of things inside his hat, particularly ammunition, as he typically prefers to keep his hands free. Mista's attire consists of a turtleneck crop top cashmere sweater with a design similar to his hat, zebra striped leather pants that he uses to store his gun, a thick belt, and boots. Due to the quality of the material, he likely spends the most money on clothing out of Team Bucciarati. Mista carries with him a short-barreled, snubnosed revolver resembling a Smith & Wesson model, essential to his fighting ability. The revolver is equipped with a hammer shroud, contains six bullets in the swing-out style cylinder and is used with hollow-point bullets. The revolver is consistently portrayed as being purple across adaptations. Trish Una has commented that Mista has a significant amount of body hair, including hair on his fingers. She also mentions that he smells comforting, albeit unpleasant at first. Mista is a Stand User, a Stand being a physical manifestation of a person's soul and fighting spirit. Every stand user has a Stand entirely unique to them, as it heavily reflects the user's life experiences and their soul as a whole. Only other Stand users can see Stands, but not only stand users can be affected by the abilities and powers of a Stand. Mista's Stand is called 'Sex Pistols', name coined from the punk band of the same name. Sex Pistols is a group of six tiny Stands living inside Mista's revolver. They are numbered from 1 to 7, skipping the number 4 due to it being an unlucky number according to Mista. They have teardrop-shaped heads, wide eyes with black outlines and small stripes going outward from the center, and extremely small pupils, some of which appear cross-eyed. Later on, they are depicted with more focused pupils and no radial lines in their eyes. They have segmented bodies with pointed shoulder pads, knee pads, elbow pads and long, pointed shoes with toe caps that curve upward. Ironically, they each have four fingers instead of five on each hand and knuckle bumps. Unlike most Stands, the Pistols each have distinct personalities, often interacting with each other and Mista. Despite their individuality, however, they all share a childish and irreverent character; they are prone to argue, can make inappropriate comments, like to nap and will not work if they are not fed. Outside of battle, Mista doesn't actually control the Pistols, who do as they please and hate the idea of being treated as pets. The Pistols' ability is to literally ride the bullets that Mista fires in order to position themselves over an area (although they can hover around too), and then violently kick the bullets to change their path. Mista's most common use of this is to rebound shots, allowing the sudden redirection of bullets to hit moving targets, strike key areas, or otherwise take his opponents by surprise by using odd and unpredictable angles. If all 6 of Sex Pistols are on a single bullet, they have the power to split said bullet into multiple pieces when they all kick, creating multiple projectiles. However, the Stand is vulnerable to attacks while out and active, but Mista can survive the most brutal harm dealt to the six members of his Stand so long as a single one of them remains unharmed. The Pistols can also block incoming bullets, and on one specific occasion, No.5 has even saved Mista from three fatal shots fired to the head by Prosciutto.
