He is tall and built thick, and he isn't afraid to let his muscles do the talking when needed. Being a soldier, it's not uncommon to find a few scars here and there on his pale skin, the most noticeable of which is one the runs through his right eyebrow. Not only his skin but his hair is pale as well: a very light blonde. One could say he looks like the stereotypical Russian and he would take that as a compliment. Although he is usually in uniform, he's quite a snappy dresser when out of it. [b][color=firebrick]Skills:[/color][/b] Taras is well read and can process information very quickly, especially of the written kind. His memory is also very good. He's interested in the medicinal arts but never made a career in them, the most he knows is some first aid and field surgery. Something most of his comrades know but don't talk about is that sometimes he likes to practice surgical techniques on dying soldiers under the guise of said "field surgery." Stemming from his information processing, he is also gifted in language. Taras can fluently speak Russian, Ukrainian, French, English, German, and Finnish. He is capable of understanding Polish but doesn't speak it. Finally, he's a great driver.

[b][color=firebrick]History:[/color][/b] Most of Taras' early life does not matter. He was born into poverty in the Motherland of the Soviet Union, and enlisted in the military to escape it - that's the most of what he'll tell you, and only after a few drinks. His early career as a soldier mostly involved being sent to remote locations, waiting in snow, mud and filth, then marching home. Sometimes, he would get to kill someone. Engaging the enemy was some of the only excitement he could find, as the games of his fellow soldiers bored him. He worked hard until he was eventually recognized and promoted to Officer, and from there he became a trusted member of the NKVD. He worked in a section of the NKVD that would later become the MGB. Put simply, his job was to investigate any threats to the Soviet Union: both internally or externally. At some point, his work brought him into contact with a strange alien arrow. Several of his colleagues died when they touched it. Taras himself was bedridden for days, but afterwards he emerged stronger than ever with a strange power of his own... The situation at hand directly interests him and his occupation. Perhaps due to his standing in the NKVD, or the fact that stand users are somehow drawn to each other, Taras was chosen as the agent to investigate the unusual claims.

When standing a full height it measures barely one foot (31cm) tall, with a similar width. It can move extremely fast and uses it's legs to climb walls and ceilings. The clicking of it's legs can be heard by other stand users, but when it moves slowly it doesn't make a sound. [b][color=firebrick]Power:[/color][/b] In as simple a way to put this as possible,「Bad Case」manipulates the flesh of any living beings it sticks it's needle into. It doesn't change their properties, nor their mass or anything like that. Inside, 「Bad Case」physically twists and contorts a living being's body. Surface-level changes happen fairly quickly. As long as「Bad Case」's needle or "proboscis" is connected to the victim, it can freely shape the victim's flesh in any way it's user wants. It can do things like rearrange a person's face, move parts of the body from one area to another, or move excess flesh to cover wounds and stop bleeding. No matter what changes it makes, there is one thing in common: all the changes happen physically and are excruciatingly painful.「Bad Case」's "bite" feels only mildly annoying, like the tingle of an actual bug bite, however. In addition to moving body parts, all the parts moved remain functional. For example, if an ear was moved down to the shoulder, the ear could still hear. Internal changes, such as the moving of organs or blood vessels, even minor ones, take much longer to complete. Any changes that「Bad Case」makes are gradually reversed if the stand is discovered and dislodged quick enough, but with enough time attached the changes can become permanent. Because「Bad Case」is relatively fragile stand better suited to stealth attacks and reconnaissance, it has one method of defense should it become cornered. Taras can see and hear whatever the stand sees and hears, so he usually can direct it to run when danger appears, but should the back of stand (the "abdomen" section) be touched, it activates an ability called [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Iaca30QbOo]「Moon Stone Shine」[/url] which lights up the area brilliantly. The light is intensely blinding, it's capable of causing eye damage should someone be too close to it and get hit with a direct blast. The light is intended to let「Bad Case」escape - and although the stand's body does heat up slightly while activating it and the light itself can be harmful, this ability doesn't do direct damage. It can be manually activated but once it's used, it obviously gives away the stand's position. [b][color=firebrick]Other:[/color][/b] The「Moon Stone Shine」is named after several sources. The writer and singer of "Bad Case of Loving You" is Moon Martin. "Fresh-sown Moonstone" is a lyric in "Blinded by the Light." The "shine" bit also obviously comes from this.[/center][/hider]
