He has green hair that flows in wavy tufts, purple eyes, a thin nose, and a seemingly ever-present grin upon his face. He has a range of outfits. Sometimes, he wears quite extravagant clothing: frilly uniform-like garbs, formal suits, or flowy outfits in theme with the production he is running at the moment. Other times, he wears minimalist outfits consisting of all black, so he can blend in behind stage. In casual everyday life, however, he can be seen wearing simple preppy clothing, such as sweaters, polos, button-ups, slacks, and leather shoes. [b][color=39b54a]Personality[/color][/b]: West is a force of enthusiasm, a naturally sociable individual who seeks to connect with others and uplift them. Call it naivete, or call it genuine kindheartedness, even in the streets of the Big Apple, West manages to move forward through each with a smile on his face and a song in his heart. He’s the type of person who enjoys making friends with strangers and forming deep bonds with others, rather than simply networking for material or social advancement. Besides being open and friendly, West can be dramatic and theatrical, sometimes obnoxiously so, cracking jokes, humming, and just moving through life with a bit too much pep in his step. However, just because he’s happy-go-lucky most of the time, doesn’t mean he’s a dolt. While rarely too selfish, he has a handle on his charisma and does know how to use his suave or leadership skills to his advantage when he needs to. He’s great at reading people’s body language and emotions, with excellent observational habits. He’s well-organized, sometimes even to a fault, becoming somewhat of a control freak. Plus, when those he cares about are hurt or threatened, he can be put into a furious rage. He has a deep love for the innocents and for those he trusts and will sacrifice himself to protect others or the common good. Furthermore, despite his dramatic, personable demeanor, he has incredible stage fright. Although he can talk to people with ease, and navigates the theater with complete confidence, as soon as he tries to take on a character and act in front of an audience, he completely and utterly breaks down, his fight-or-flight instincts kicking in, the result of some sort of irrational, psychological trauma of some sort. [b][color=39b54a]Backstory[/color][/b]: West always wanted to perform onstage, dreaming of becoming a broadway actor performing in the greatest city in the world. He grew up in a strict commune, raised by cult-like religious fanatics, and never got the chance to try acting. Yet he would sneak away at night to catch shows in a nearby community theater, enthralled by the stage. As soon as he was old enough to fend for himself, he ran away from home and headed for Broadway, hoping to become a starving actor, an artiste amongst others more supportive. And after months of working odd jobs, networking, and trying to get a shot in a play, he made it. However, in this first production, he quickly found that he had debilitating stage fright. He floundered on stage, he stuttered his lines, and no matter how convincing or passionate his deliveries were alone, something just didn’t click once the audiences began to perceive him in character. At first, he was devastated. But with nowhere left to go, he devoted all of his energy into mastering every other facet of theater, working his way through backstage as a man of many hats—lights, sound, props, costumes, dance, and even stage-combat skills. This is when he discovered that he had a Stand called Hierophant Green. He took this long-range manipulator as a blessing, quickly using it as a one-man crew. With Hierophant Green’s countless tendrils, he could control the stage, adjusting layouts or sound dials from a distance. In everything but being actually in the spotlight, he sought to be perfect. If he couldn’t be a star, he would do his best to make others shine brighter than he ever could, and people began to notice his skill. Eventually, he found his way to become one of the youngest directors on Broadway. He was a well-liked, versatile young talent in the business, and this was his big shot at making history. But on opening night, the two leads were found dead, killed in the final act. After that, West was shaken, and for some reason, a rumor was going around that it was all his fault—some sick plan to gain more attention. The show was shut down, and his reputation was ruined. While most people didn’t believe the rumors, West knew things wouldn’t be the same. Now, he is staging a much smaller production off-broadway in NYC. He still is sociable and friendly to all, but there is a part of him that mourns those actors and what his production could have been. West smiles, but deep down, he knows he cannot rest until he finds that killer. [b][color=39b54a]Misc[/color][/b]: None.

Its body can unravel in tentacles of varying size and connection. [b][color=39b54a]Personality[/color][/b]: The Stand does not typically emote and only speaks when its user uses it to. West will sometimes endow his Stand with a performative, dramatic personality, however, pretending it is a marionette or even his dance partner.

These uncoiled strings that make up it’s body can be used to detect movements, sense those that touch it, or even control others by sliding into their body and manipulating their anatomy. Hierophant Green can also unleash a storm of energy in the form of emerald-like projections, in an attack known as “Emerald Splash”. The blast has a high range and fires out with shotgun-like dispersion. [b][color=39b54a]Misc[/color][/b]: None. [/hider] [/hider]
