It shows that it enjoys fiddles with objects on random occasions.

Stand Cry: DAME DAME DAME ...!!! (When Stand rushing)

Powers/Abilities:

Paradox is an extremely powerful Stand. Being physically strong (being able to punch through people's bodies and easily bend heavy metal) and possessing the ability to skip events instantly and to perceive and understand all cause and effect relations. It's physical strength and speed are comparable to Star Platinum and The World. It is also shown to physically durable and is able to withstand powerful physical attacks from Stands like The World.

Event Skipping- Paradox has the ability to skip any event instantly. An example of this is someone's clothing soaked in water. Paradox can use this ability and skip the events leading up to it being dried up. When that event is skipped, the clothes will then be instantly dried without having to wait. When it skips an event that involves people, let's say, someone about to run towards a door, Paradox can skip the running and the person will suddenly find themselves in the situation they were supposed to be afterwards (the person being in front of the door now.) When this happens, the person would have memories of him/her running towards the door despite being the event of him/her running is skipped, other people who witness the person would also have memories of the skipped event from their perspective. This false memory effect doesn't apply to Raymond at all and he can take advantage of this effect to confuse his opponents.

Paradox and Raymond can use this ability in many ways, like teleporting to a far spot without having to move at all or attacking without doing anything (punching someone without having to punch at all, for example) because the events that made these happen are skipped. Paradox can use this avoid or negate attacks and Stand abilities. Raymond can remove his injuries instantly by skipping the events that recovered from those injuries, he can do the same thing with other people but the false memory effect would still affect them.

Paradox can simulataneously skip multiple events that happens at the same time and could be very destructive depending on what events Raymond wants to skip. Raymond can use this mess up his opponents strategies or plans and cause unexpected events to happen.

Paradox also has its own sub-Stand hidden on its cloak.

Powers/Abilities:

Causality Perception- When Raymond wears Search For Perfection, Raymond can perceive and understand all cause and effect relations, deducing the path leading to any effect, allowing Raymond to plan, analyze, and take action with absolute efficieny. Raymond can perceive the cause and relations of his own thoughts giving him the ability to tackle various situations by simply thinking about possible routes he could take.

Raymond can instantly understand anything by perceiving all the causes and effects it is currently made of, as well as the previous ones that lead to this state. If he looks at someone with Search For Perfection on, he can learn their nature, personality, history, expectations, strengths, weaknesses, secrets etc. He is even able to learn what the person's Stand (if he/she has one) and its abilities and even what it's capable of. Because of these, Raymond often wears Search For Perfection and uses this ability to help him know what event to skip or not to skip.
