I have a couple questions/concerns:1) What do you mean by "Stand"?2) I feel like the very idea of making characters lose their special abilities would be tough to carry out, just because I suppose it sort of depends on what counts as a "special ability". Like, for example, Vash is a superb gunman - would that skill count as one of the abilities lost? And if so, to what extent would it be lost? Would his skill only drop down to, I dunno... superhuman levels? Or would he lose completely lose all finesse with his gunmanship?

A Stand is a thing from Jojo's. From what I remember, it's basically an invisible-to-non-stand-users quasi-magical shadow with supernatural abilities. The most famous is The World. It stops time. And punches.
