Chariot Requiem

Chariot Requiem (チャリオッツ・レクイエム) or simply Requiem (レクイエム) is a Stand featured in Part V: Vento Aureo.

It is the evolved form of Silver Chariot.

Appearance
Chariot Requiem is solid and can be seen by anyone. Its face is shown to have an arrow-like mark underneath what seems to be a large empty eye. Buccellati even described it as 'black coal'.

Personality
Chariot Requiem is the Stand that Polnareff develops when Silver Chariot is stabbed with the Arrow. Polnareff died shortly after the arrow pierced the original Silver Chariot, and the Stand survived his death but became uncontrollable (much like Notorious B.I.G., a Stand that activated after the user died and was never eliminated).

It seemed to be nearly mindless, only walking forward. This Stand appears to be the only Stand with its own goal: to change the life forms of earth by putting spirits of another world in all living things.

Abilities

 * Sleep Slaving: Chariot Requiem can put all nearby living organisms to sleep when it first activated. As those affected wake up, they discover their spirits have switched bodies. If the body is destroyed, the spirit currently inhabiting the body will also be destroyed; however, the original spirit may return to the body (in the case of Giorno) in the event the body has been healed and restored. As a secondary effect, any Stand User will have their Stands strengthened. Strange creatures are also summoned from within those whose spirits have change bodies, and this will slowly mutate them.


 * Forceful Attack: Anyone who persistently tries to take away the arrow from Requiem will be attacked by their own Stand.


 * Regeneration: Chariot Requiem is shown to be able to reattach detached limbs, as it reattaches its arm after Buccellati managed to detach it by attacking it with Sticky Fingers.


 * Shadow Hearts: A person who has seen Chariot Requiem will see that Chariot Requiem's shadow is at a different location. This localization will never change no matter where the sun is because the shadow is actually a person's darkness from within his or her heart. However, the presence of a shadow necessitates the presence of light, which proves to be its weakness as when someone attacks the light that exists behind them, it will slowly destroy the shadow; thus hurting Chariot Requiem. Upon its death, all the changes it had caused will return to normal.

Heritage for the Future
The Capcom fighting game marks the debut of Requiem in a video game. It appears as Polnareff's level 3 super combo move, where Silver Chariot gets shot in the head by an arrow, and briefly transforms into its Requiem form. After the light emitted from the Stand fully engulfs the screen without interruption, the opponent is instantly put to sleep.

Golden Whirlwind (PS2)
Requiem appears as the main enemy faced in chapter 20, as the player must beat Requiem before it reaches the coliseum's exit, using Buccellati in Diavolo's body.

Requiem never attacks the player, and it only slowly walks to the exit. Defensively, Requiem summons a copy of Sticky Fingers that retaliates whenever the player tries to attack it. The copy can use all the attacks available to the player.

Trivia

 * According to JOJOVELLER, its design is based on the myth of a messenger all in black being Death image ordering a Requiem to Mozart. This Stand also is of unisex design.
