here's the 6th member of Bootleg La Squadra

Stand name: Dance with the Dead

Stand namesake: Dance with the Dead, synthwave music group

Stand user: Consigliere Paradiso

User namesake: Italian for "councilman of paradise"

User appearance: Paradiso appears as a human male of average height's perfectly intact animated skeleton. He wears a traditional mitre and white clergyman's robes. Paradiso carries a gold-adorned staff (stick with a skull on it) with him at all times. While he cannot communicate normally, due to having no vocal chords, his stand's power allowed his soul to remain inside his body, letting him communicate through it instead. While in his soul form, Paradiso appears as a 45-year old man, wearing the same clothes as his body does, having black eyes and short white hair.

Personality: Paradiso's main defining characteristic is his desire to free people from life on earth and allow them to go to Heaven. To accomplish this, he does not stop at anything, believing that "the ends justify the means". Paradiso acts apologetic towards his victims, but is assured that their time in Heaven will be better than their time on Earth. In battle, he is impatient, always trying to dispose of his opponents in the quickest way possible, regardless of consequences. Paradiso is prideful, loudly proclaiming the righteousness of his goals and extremely zealous, seeking to eliminate anyone who opposes him.

Stand appearance: DWTD itself has no physical appearance, instead manifesting as the souls it takes control over.

Stand abilities:

Control over souls: Whenever Paradiso kills a living creature, DWTD takes over that creature's soul. The souls are automatically stored inside a suitable "vessel" (such as Paradiso's staff). What constitutes a suitable vessel is whether or not it has any sort of spiritual significance. From here, Paradiso can choose to transfer a soul inside a body, instantly reanimating it as his minion. Vessels can hold a limitless amount of souls, but a body can only hold one.

Reanimated bodies: The beings Paradiso resurrects will do his bidding (such as retrieving a certain object or killing a certain person), but they only follow the basic orders and go about accomplishing their task in their own way. Additionally, unlike the mirror copies created by Cypress' Kids in the Hall, Paradiso can only communicate with his resurrected minions if they're close by and is essentially unaware of what they're doing and what's happening to them.

However, if the resurrected body in question belongs to a stand user, they retain their original personality, intelligence and Stand, even having the same ability to communicate through their soul as Paradiso.

Fortunately, Paradiso does not need to resurrect actual dead bodies, as things such as stuffed animals and artificial copies will also count. The resurrected beings have the same physical characteristics as their non-"alive" bodies do, but feel no pain or fear, allowing them to sustain heavy damage and keep moving and making them extremely hard to kill. In fact, to "kill" one of DWTD's zombies and free the sealed soul from the stand's control, one would need to destroy over 70% of the body.
