''This thread is a few months old already, but I see people are still posting on it, so I'm just gonna share my fan stand if nobody minds. Before I explain the stand itself, I'll explain a type of stand that my fan stand falls under.''

''A split stand is a stand similar to a stand colony, but often consists of much fewer entities. These entities can come together and fuse into a singular stand, which the entities that compose it are considered sub-stands of. They usually have their own unique abilities and appearance based off of the full stand. If a part of a split stand is damaged, that damage will be reflected onto the stand user as if the part was the complete body. Non-automatic split stands often have some sense of autonomy to compensate for the user having to control separate bodies.''

Stand name: Sun and Steel

Namesake: 1983 song by Iron Maiden

Sun and Steel (Fused):

Type: Multiple Ability, Split Stand

Appearance: Sun and Steel in its fused form resembles a muscular, pitch-black humanoid. Its forearms, abdomen and legs are covered in silver armor, with hexagon-shaped holes on the forearms and lower legs. It has sets of four silver spikes running across its head, forearms, lower legs and both sides of its back. It has a structure on its face resembling safety goggles, which connect to its head in the places where a human's ears would be. Multiple straight, orange-yellowish lines run across its body.

Destructive Power: A

Speed: B

Range: A

Durability: B

Precision: A

Developmental Potential: E

Abilities:

Metallic Body: Fused Sun and Steel's body has a metallic structure, making it highly durable. It can also melt itself, turning into a movable puddle of molten metal.

Metal Manipulation: Sun and Steel can control molten metal, move it around and shape it into whatever it wants. It can also absorb it into its body, after which it becomes a part of Sun and Steel.

Metal Transmutation: Sun and Steel can turns anything it touches into metal. It can reverse this effect by making contact with anything it has transmuted again. Sun and Steel also has slight control over the properties of the metal it transforms its target into, including its mass, durability and density, among others.

Heat Absorption/Imbuement: Sun and Steel absorbs heat around it, which it can use to rapidly heat up anything it makes contact with. Instead, it can also take the heat out of an object.

Separation: Sun and Steel can split into 2 separate sub-stands.

Sun and Steel (Sun):

Type: Long Distance, Split Stand

Appearance: Sun and Steel in its Sun form resembles a white humanoid. It possesses every facial feature besides ears and eyebrows and has no nostrils. Its body is covered in red, crooked lines resembling cracks in its skin. Similar to its fused form, Sun form Sun and Steel is covered in spikes. However, these spikes are the same color as its skin. The spikes on its head are also different, as they come in a pair of 2, rather than 4 and protrude from the sides of its forehead and face backwards. Its eyes are yellow and have a design similar to Hierophant Green and other stands with similar eye designs.

Destructive Power: B

Speed: A

Range: A

Durability: C

Precision: B

Developmental Potential: A

Abilities:

Heat Generation: Sun form Sun and Steel constantly generates its own heat, which it can use for its second ability

Heat Imbuement: Similar to its fused form, Sun form Sun and Steel can imbue anything it touches with heat. Unlike its fused form, however, it doesn't require absorbing the heat around it to do so, as it is constantly producing its own. This allows it to heat objects up until they reach their melting point.

Heat Detection: Sun form Sun and Steel can detect any heat within range. It can also tell the exact temperature of whatever it is sensing.

Fusion: Both sub-stands of Sun and Steel can come together and fuse into the complete stand.

Sun and Steel (Steel):

Type: Close Range, Split Stand

Appearance: Similar to its fused form, Steel form Sun and Steel resembles a black humanoid covered in armor. Unlike its fused form, however, the entirety of its torso and face is covered in armor, leaving only its neck and upper arms exposed. Its head is covered by a helmet that vaguely resembles a welding helmet. The top of the helmet is covered by edges that curve backwards, which are also present on the armor covering its forearms, lower legs and shoulders. Its armor is covered in a pattern of lines similar to its complete form, but they don't glow and are gold in color. Its eyes are yellow, but lack any other features.

Destructive Power: B

Speed: B

Range: C

Durability: A

Precision: A

Developmental Potential: A

Abilities:

Metallic Armor: Due to its metal armor, Steel form Sun and Steel is even more durable then its fused form. It can take high amounts of damage without getting hurt, which allows Sun and Steel's user to use its body as a shield.

Metal Assimilation: Upon coming in contact with any metal, Steel form Sun and Steel can absorb it into its body, which it can use to heal itself. Instead, it can also make itself part of any metal, disappearing completely into it. While this doesn't increase the size of whatever metal it becomes a part of, it does make it much heavier.

Metal Transmutation: Similar to its fused form, Steel form Sun and Steel can turn anything it touches into metal. Again, like its fused form, it can reverse this effect and has control over the metal's properties.

Fusion: Both sub-stands of Sun and Steel can come together and fuse into the complete stand.
