Stand Name: KTE Cypher

Namesake: Hunnid-P song of same name

Stand User: Maki Nishikino

Appearance: Organic humanoid. Very top-heavy with large torso and thick arms, as well as almost-exaggeratedly large fists. Face is mammalian, having features similar to that of the animal family Tachyglossidae. Shoulder-length locks/clumps of hair rest straight downward, deep red in color.

KTE Cypher itself is covered in thin fur. Crescent-shaped white fur marks the Stand's chest, while the rest of it is deep red like the 'hair' on its head. In place of hands, it has white, boxing glove-like fists with no separate digits other than thumbs, two spikes protruding on each fist. Within KTE Cypher's mouth is visible, carnivorous fangs.

Abilities:

Primary

Songbird's Berserk: Whenever KTE Cypher's user sings, she can increase the raw physical strength of anyone she chooses that can hear. Strength increase is dependent on difficulty of the song (voice range required to sing it), with a maximum of 3x the target's base strength. Duration of effect is dependent on length of the song, with a maximum of 5 minutes for a 5-minute minimum length song.

The weakness is that the ability is directly tied to the user's voice. If Maki is interrupted, the effect will be greatly reduced, and of course, by any means, it is possible to prevent her from singing. The ability also has a special weakness, in that its effect instantly wears off if a target with it active chuckles for a minimum of 2 seconds.

Knock Knock: If the Stand is able to touch all four of the spikes on both its fists onto a surface twice, the sound produced from the surface in question will have greatly increased volume. Stone/concrete will produce sounds that sound grating to the ear, while glass and thin metal may result in eardrum hemorrhaging. The weakness is that both of KTE Cypher's hands need to be free, and the spikes must make contact with the "same surface" (same surface ends when the material make-up changes [e.g. wood to carpet] or the surface bends beyond a 70 degree angle) for the sound to be produced.

Of note is that if the ability is used on any precious gemstone, no sound is produced, but the Stand temporarily powers up with an increase in speed and range (a full letter grade for both stats). However, the gemstone in question will be destroyed once the ability takes effect.

Secondary/Misc: KTE Cypher, as a Close-ranged Power Type, is immensely powerful at the cost of range. The Stand's grip alone can bend steel, while the spikes on its fists go through boulders. Within the Stand's fur itself, each individual strand has been described as tougher than leather.

The Stand has some sentience. As Maki is a teenage girl with little lust for battle, she has difficulty controlling KTE Cypher's impulse to indiscriminantly destroy, or at the very least throw punches in random directions. Its capacity for speech is spent verbalizing its desire to hit something, leaving the user a dangerous liability if made upset. Fortunately, music has the effect of calming the Stand, though it doesn't like anything of the Rock or Orchestra genres. Due to its violent nature, the Stand has made a notorious name for itself and its user within the world of Stand Users:

"The Fighting Freak"
