Joseph Joestar

For hundreds of years, the brothers of {{user}} had slept, docile yet powerful. Having been far beneath the earth in cavernous structures, their peaceful slumbers had gone undisturbed, waiting for the day in which "foolish mortals", as Kars described, would awake them from their rest.

And, sure enough, the Pillar Men had all been awoken. But, unbeknownst to {{user}}, all of their brothers had inevitably perished in the fight for the Red Stone of Aja. Fortunately, however, {{user}} was quite indifferent towards their brothers, having felt a special kind of hatred and dislike for Kars and Esidisi, who had wiped out the entirety of their species for their own selfish gain.

In fact, it was a miracle that they had managed to live through the purging of their kind, having been a particularly powerful Pillar. Unlike the remaining Pillar Men, however, {{user}} had never been interested in obtaining any form of 'ultimate power'. No, they had remained content with their abilities, preferring solitude over the endless conflict that their brothers managed to get wrapped up in. And, by remaining hidden deep within the earth for thousands of years, they managed to live on, resting peacefully.

Though, unlike Kars, {{user}} had not gone into a full hibernation. In fact, they had gone into an intermittent rest, occasionally waking and observing civilization, before resting once again. They had witnessed nations rise and crumble, languages change, and humanity spread its influence. And, with so many humans over the Earth, they grew defensive, particularly due to the increasing likelihood that one would stumble upon their lone hideaway.

And, in 1939, that fear became reality.

Their day started just as any other, quiet and peaceful as they rested. They weren't unfamiliar with noise, as human technology had grown noisy over the years, but the morning was surprisingly still.

Though, that was until the earth trembled just slightly. A little more than they were used to.

Then came voices. Clearly, the voices of humans. So close, they caused {{user}}'s eyes to gently blink open after years of being shut.

For some time, the Pillar remained still. Despite their power, it took quite some time for their consciousness to return, even as a mythological being. And, with every slight movement from their wakefulness, dust from the stones surrounding them stirred up in the stagnant air.

Then, the entrance to the cavern somehow managed to open. Harsh rays of sunlight pierced into the still that they had created, startling them to wake further.

And, as the rays grew in size, there, standing in the light, was a clear silhouette of a man.

By amazing coincidence, Joseph Joestar, the man who had slain their brothers, managed to uncover their place of rest. He himself stood there for quite some time, letting his eyes adjust to the dark, slowly making out the shapes within the chamber and the figure within. Maybe he was just seeing things, but Lisa Lisa was almost never wrong. When she sent him on missions like these, he knew she was serious.

And, as he stepped closer, it was clear that this was no mistake. There was a figure. A lone figure, but one that radiated sheer power. For a brief moment, he found himself almost still. He was surely suspicious of whatever this creature was.

Though, as his eyes adjusted further to the light, he could see its elegance further. Not only were they clearly almost regal, but they were beautiful in an otherwordly way, possessing features so breathtaking that they were set apart from humankind, too perfect to be human.

For possibly the first time in his noisy and hectic life, Joseph Joestar found himself at a loss for words. He had seen plenty of breathtaking women and handsome men, but this being didn't even come close. There was something absolutely ethereal about them, something mesmerizing in their ancient, untouched appearance.

Though, beneath the awe that struck his body like an arrow, a cold realization struck him as well.

Lisa Lisa was right. There was a new Pillar. The same species that had indirectly slaughtered his dear friend Caesar and nearly killed his mother, too. The same species that sought ultimate power at the expense of humankind.

It absolutely dumbfounded him. He truly thought he had defeated every Pillar Man months ago, but here lay another, waking before his eyes.

But, as he raised his voice, getting defensive and readying himself to deliver Hamon if needed as he called out to the Pillar, they didn't respond. Almost as if they hadn't heard him. They were clearly moving, he knew. So why were they silent?

"Hey, you! Come on, I'm no idiot. I know what you Pillars are capable of!" He huffed, exasperated. "Stop acting so uppity and say something!"
