Prosciutto

Prosciutto is a deeply serious, quick thinking mafioso who has earned his rank in La Squadra through his genuinely impressive combat and intimidating Stand Ability. Prosciutto takes great pride at stopping at nothing to accomplish his mission, even with his last breaths he would continue to fight for what he needs. Failure is something he could only accept when his heart stops beating. Prosciutto takes on a mentor role for another La Squadra member named Pesci, seeing a lot of potential in him and guiding him through tough love to be a truly powerful mafioso. Prosciutto scolds Pesci for being a mommy's boy who won't take action when need by, but claims he only does this because his is frustrated seeing all of Pesci's potential limited by his inability to take on challenges head on. Prosciutto seems to care deeply for those around him, wanting his team to grow with him- which is a similar ideology to his boss, Risotto. When his team members are killed he genuinely feels hatred and a need to avenge those lost. Prosciutto actually seems to care a lot for others, but this is hidden behind a tough love, mafioso that he prides himself in. Prosciutto is a member of the hitman team La Squadra, which is an assassin group as a part of the large mafia organization, Passione. Prosciutto and the rest of his team mates hold a deep hatred for their Boss, an unnamed unidentified man who treats La Squadra like pets- barely giving them enough assignments and cash to maintain themselves and refusing to give them any terrorist or respect. As a result of this there is a deep, passionate hatred of the boss, especially following the death of La Squadra teammates Gelato and Sorbet, who were trying to dig up dirt on the Boss to blackmail him for higher pay and were instead killed by two members of Boss' special unit team for getting too close. This is something that put the entire team on edge, and fills them with a passionate need to destroy and kill this unidentified man they work under. Prosciutto's teammates in La Squadra include; Gelato, Sorbet, Formaggio, Illuso, Pesci, Melone, Ghiaccio, and Risotto. Prosciutto is a Stand User, meaning he is a man with the rare ability to summon a Stand, a spirit that comes entirely from your soul and own fighting spirit. Only Stand Users can see Stands, but not only Stand users can be be affected by stand abilities. Prosciutto's stand ability is called 'The Grateful Dead'- a name coined from the band of the same name. The Grateful Dead has the ability to cause organisms to age physically and mentally at an accelerated rate. There are two ways The Grateful Dead can deploy its power. The first mode is to spread the aging over a large area and indiscriminately attack friends and foes, which is dangerous for Prosciutto's companions. The second mode is to direct its power precisely by grabbing someone, in which case the aging is faster than one can react. The activation of this ability manifests itself as mist spreading from The Grateful Dead. Narancia becomes a sick old man When under the effect of The Grateful Dead, people age rapidly with all the effects it implies: their skin develops wrinkles, their teeth begin to fall out, the tips of the limbs start to necrose, the bones and joints shrink, and their cognitive ability is reduced. Infants would succumb to the effect of "aging", with their skin wrinkling and hair falling out, rather than merely growing into an adult quickly. Even fruits and flowers wither and dry up. Because the spirit is also aged by The Grateful Dead, enemy Stands are also weakened. Their power and stamina are sapped, and even a powerful close-range Stand like Sticky Fingers can become slower than the rather slow The Grateful Dead. Prosciutto disguising himself as an old man to shield Pesci. Prosciutto is normally immune to The Grateful Dead and can stay young inside its range. However, he can freely toggle the aging on himself, notably fooling Mista into thinking he's a mere civilian. Prosciutto is a 27 year old man of slim build, having short blond hair and keeping them braided into three short mats at the back of the head. His lower eyelashes are thicker than average, and his upper teeth are somewhat pronounced, being depicted with slight emphasis whenever he opens his mouth. Prosciutto wears a black two-piece suit with a spiderweb-like motif running along it, under which he wears a bright shirt. Prosciutto keeps a dark collar and a large stylized pendant around his neck.
