Red Hot Chili Pepper

Red Hot Chili Pepper (レッド・ホット・チリ・ペッパー) is the Stand of Akira Otoishi, featured in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.

Appearance
Red Hot Chili Pepper resembles an alien with a beak and a lizard-like tail. Its head bears a resemblance to a Pachycephalosaurus. Its body is covered in a radiant glow that slowly diminishes the longer the Stand is in use without electricity. Its design is a combination of the strong head-butting dinosaurs from Kyouryuu Daikikou and Frieza from Dragon Ball Z.

After his fight with Josuke & Crazy Diamond, Red Hot Chili Pepper was thrown into the ocean, dispersing its electrical power as well as its body. The Stand itself was effectively broken, with a dismembered look, as most of its body was left in the ocean.

Personality
In order to hide his identity, Akira speaks and is able to express various emotions through his Stand and its facial features (giving the strong impression that the Stand is responsible).

Abilities

 * Absorbing Electricity: Red Hot Chili Pepper is capable of absorbing electricity to use as energy for a number of things, including increasing its raw strength, movement, healing its wounds, levitating, and covering itself in an electric coat. However, this strength also limits the Stand's range, as it must remain near power to avoid depleting all of its strength.


 * Electrical Transmission: Red Hot Chili Pepper, as a long-range Stand, can pass through electrical systems, including power wires or batteries, at light speed. If Red Hot Chili Pepper holds on to an object, it can turn it into electricity and move it where it desires. This is how Akira stole many items, including his guitars. If this move is used on a living person, they are electrocuted.
 * Electric Mode: Red Hot Chili Pepper must absorb large quantities of electricity before turning into his Electricity Mode. Once it has achieved this mode, it is immune to attacks, as they pass harmlessly through its now intangible body. Also in this mode, Red Hot Chili Pepper will become even faster than it already is and electrocute anyone it touches. However, upon depleting the electricity it has absorbed, it will exit the mode and weaken. The Stand takes upon a rusted look instead of its shiny gold coat and slowly begins to vanish. If it doesn't intake electricity again, the Stand will die, causing the user to suffer the same fate.
