= Marciano Nor = "'It is something yet we can not comprehend or subdue ourselves in...' '...In order to be saved, we need to surrender ourselves and object to our fleshly nature and return to the LORD...'"Marciano is a major ally of the protagonist's group, found in a fan-made light novel of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure called "Foreign Wastelands". Marciano is a 25 year old Italian-American male, assisting the protagonist in creating a better society in which their main goals are to go forward and abolish the major immoral groups feeding off of the innocent.

As he does such, he does state however, this is never achievable due to personal immorality always taking over human ambitions, and that sin will scour the world until it is subdued to its final cries in pain and agony.

Appearance
Marciano is of average build, with moderately good looks, and decently sized, curly, walnut-brown hair, and dark-brown eyes. He often wears a Goorin Bros. Summer League hat, with a light-blue utility jacket with printed words "Hey, Yo!" embarking enthusiasm and friendliness. He usually has on dark, wine purple lipstick. He often wears chestnut-brown oxford shoes with gray socks.

He also has a pinned card on his hat with the words, "Torre", translated from Italian to English as "Rook", likely being that the Rook is Marciano's favorite Chess piece.

Despite mostly wearing light, classy, railroad-like blue clothing, Marciano states that his favorite color is purple.

Personality
Marciano often carries a quiet, sometimes vague, yet kind personality to those around him he doesn't know, or aren't familiar with. As such, he is able to slowly begin a friendship with anyone he pursues and admires.

As throughout the story, towards his friends he is shown to be often times invasive towards them and often overstepping boundaries set up by his companions or acquaintances, often due to him creating more personal questions and pushing it on them when they tend to ignore it or not want to speak about such. However, often times he doesn't ask such personal questions unless if he is trying to understand someone and get a better grip on their personality much compared to people he already knew or spends frequent time with.

Marciano, coming from a middle-class family, grew up learning manners and being polite to others, so as such he reflects those teachings as he has in the past. Including being raised in a Christian household, he adopted the mindset and moral code of God's word, given due the Bible.

Another personality trait upheld by Marciano, is that he has a much vastly different perspective on friendship than most others have in his generation, that being, he believes, as he exclaims; "...the value of friendship and love, compared to my experiences 9 years ago, is that the best way to socialize and gain trust from others is to befriend others regardless of the pain and consequences..."

Marciano does tend to express random aggression or impolite actions towards those he doesn't comply or acknowledge, but is known to regret that due to his dislike in being unkind to others and especially unpretentiousness. When he begins to realize his sins or troubles, he repents to God for what he has done and lives in momentary regret, until he is able to move forward and acknowledge that he has been forgiven.

Marciano's most prominent or favorable of traits, is his expression and admiration in Italian culture, as he states that he is Italian, and must live up to his values. He tends to admire other cultures as well, that have favorable qualities such as food or traditions. As such, it is the reason why he moved to Italy in the first place.

One of the capabilities of his personality that Marciano holds the most, carrying onto his profession, is his interest in building and crafting things. For instance; from a very young age, Marciano became talented in building things with Lego's, and went up to professional levels as he progressed in that area, and later moved onto model kits such as Metal Earth or Gundam. He's often resourceful, crafty, and creative with the materials he is given and utilizes it the most towards achieving his career as a Mechanical Engineer.

Abilities
Marciano's stand, Substance, is a long-range stand with speeds that exceed the speed of light, and precision that was able to assist Marciano in spotting a sailboat from 4829 (3 miles) away.

Substance's primary ability is to reshape an object any way it wants to, in which could assist him in creating gears or materials for lost parts, and assisting especially in creating weaponry (or even smuggling it, as he is able to make metal blocks into machinery) that has an incredibly swift and capable cleaving abilities. It does have limitations to this ability, however. It is stated by Marciano that the limit is where the weight (kilograms) multiplied by the volume (in meters) would equal about 38809.334.

One of Substance's other abilities include enhancing Marciano's movement speeding, in which according to Marciano, his movement speed is increased to 30-38km an hour.
