Namesake: The 1986 song by Metallica of the same name

Stand User: Leil Tepez

Type: Close Range, Integrated

Appearance: MoP has an appearance similar to that of a vampire; it is entirely pale, has large, pointed ears and a mouth full of sharp teeth that quite literally forms an ear-to-ear grin. Its body is separated into several "segments", akin to a wooden string puppet. Furthermore, it has two sets of eyes: one in its head, one on its chest, with its bottom left eye bearing a cross-shaped pupil.

Destructive Power: A

Speed: A

Range: C

Durability: A

Precision: B

Developmental Potential: C

Abilities:

Siphoning: MoP's ability is to siphon the life force from the soul of any individual in the near vicinity by causing harm to them, granting itself and its user enhanced strength, speed, regeneration and extended youth while also weakening its victim, similar to a vampire. The more pain and damage is inflicted at a time, the more life force is absorbed. This damage may be inflicted through Leil himself, MoP or any weapon at hand.

Besides violence, MoP can also absorb life force by inflicting emotional harm. This is where the stand's strength lies, as not only does Leil have a naturally intimidating aura, but by allowing him to emotionally affect them, their weakening bodies will slowly become more vulnerable to manipulation, allowing him to further torment and drain them. Should a victim lose all of their life force, MoP will steal their soul, killing them.

Leil Tepez is functionally immortal as long as his body contains the life force of at least one soul other than his own. Any attempts on his life will simply result in a portion of his energy being consumed to restore Leil's health, although this will weaken him greatly.

Shadow Gate: Leil Tepez's shadow acts as a gateway to a tiny pocket dimension that allows him to travel large distances almost instantly. This pocket dimension acts as a sort of limbo to all of the souls it has stolen.

Any soul stuck within the limbo can be freely summoned by Leil as a shadowy apparition that can he can command to fight for him, acting as secondary stands. Their life force dictates both their strength and subservience, with powerful apparitions being stronger, but more unruly. I had thought of a stand named after Master of Puppets too, although they looked at first a simple ventriloquist dummy, although it turns out to be a independent stand bound to a dummy that managed to live after the death of it's user like Anubis. However, this one had ambitions and want to rule the world with it's power to mind control people. It would make one person pretend to be it's user while it can send out disembodied floating copies of his hands with puppet strings to control other people. Although the stand would find a way to get an evolved form where he would no longer need to be bound to a dummy and takes a full humanoid appearance and it's ability to control with it's puppet grows to beyond manipulating people to inanimate objects and eventually other people's stands. One ability of it would be named Seek and Destroy where it gives something inanimate it manipulated to life to find and kill a specific target no matter what like an automatic stand.
