Rating time hee hoo

Uniqueness: Full Metal Alchemist. *deepens voice* Full Metal Alchemist. - 0/2

Creativity/Effort: Hrmm.... leaving aside the fact it's a recycled stand idea, I'd say it's pretty well explained for the most part. Though I do have a question or two! - 1/2

Balance: Hmm... bit of trouble discerning what the weaknesses are.... will leave this score blank until after the questions are answered. - ?/2

PAPA (Power Against Plot Armour): So far.... very op. Would put up a major fight. - 2/2

WIWI (Would I Want It): *inhales hard* FULL METAL ALCHEMIST. - 2/2

Questions Section:

• For the 'semi autonomous' mode, what happens if the cable is severed? Is this a physical cable, or made of stand energy (aka can this go through walls, or does the cable have to wind around corners and such like a string through a maze)?

• For being able to be made of Tungsten..... does this stand take on an actual physical body made of surrounding materials/matter, or does the stand have the usual stand energy body that just mimics tungsten?

• Does the mimicry of other stands extend to the higher plane abilities like time and space manipulation (Star Platinum, Made In Heaven, D4C, etc)?

• Any potential weaknesses that were not already listed?

Answers:

-This wasn't based off Full Metal Alchemist at all, just saying

-The cable is made of the same material Inferno is made of visible Stand energy, and is physical. If it has its Tungsten armor up, the cable will take several minutes of constant "Ora-Ora-Ora"-ing before snapping. Once it snaps, Inferno's range is gone, and it will dissipate after a few minutes. The cable has to edge around obstacles, or use its ability to phase through things.

-It has the Stand energy similar to Tungsten, but if it was commanded to, then it could make a shell of actual Tungsten out of the surrounding matter.

-Yes, Inferno can mimic abilities like The World's time stop. It can also stop the movement of all atoms, stopping time without needing to use The World.

Other weaknesses:

-Even if caught off-guard, Inferno can activate its Tungsten shell in milliseconds, but if an object is jammed into Inferno's skin, the Shell can't form around the object, leaving a gap in the armor. Without its tungsten shell, one attack from even a weak stand like Hermit Purple will cause serious damage. The armor is also slow to expand, so attacks involving stretching or tearing can inflict damage as well.

-Inferno relies on sight, sound, and touch to navigate, so if it is blinded, deafened, and numbed, it will be completely obsolete until it uses its ability to heal.

-It can't use its ability if there is no matter nearby, so if it is put in a vacuum with no material within its radius, it can't do much.

-It hates bad music, so it will be incapacitated if it hears music it thinks of as "bad".

@Spyfe What proof do you need? Ask me anything.

EDIT: NO FACE REVEALS

Aight, final ratiiiiiing = 6/10

@Subnauticafan100 no it was just a joke-

Oh ok lol.

@Rhino Schneider the III Good rating. What stopped it from getting 10/10?

Sure, I can give a second breakdown....***pls ofc take my word with a grain of salt! I rate stands mainly for fun/hobby, also to maybe give peeps ideas on how to improve on the stands.... BUT in the end, it's just my humble opinion....

Anyways, here's my reasonings:

• 'Uniqueness' is the category that answers "have I seen this ability set, or something similar before in fiction?" - yep, matter transformation is pretty common... hence the Fullmetal Alchemist referencing.

• 'Creativity/Effort', the category that answers mainly "how creative did you get, how much effort was put in, how solid is the concept, does it stick to a theme, and how many questions does this leave the reader with?" - a point was subtracted here, for the number of questions I was left with (so the loss of the point here isn't too much of a 'bad thing', it just means that as a reader, I was left a lil confused on how some parts of the stand worked. A '2/2' score would be given if I completely understood the stand's abilities with just one reading).

• 'Balance', the category that answers "Is this stand not overpowered, and does it have clear weaknesses and set limitations to balance out the abilities?" - for this one, I rated a '1/2' after the answers to the questions were given as for the most part this stand comes off as very OP and mayyybe a wee bit unbalanced because of that. Just to go over the answers real quick.... The cable needing 'several minutes' of ORA-ORA level hits is..... that is VERY durable for a cable, like I would trust that more than my mother. Secondly, the cable can phase through things, so there's no point in it having to wind around corners.... which that detail makes the range pretty dang far if it can extend in a straight line through any obstructs. Next, not only can the stand's body/energy be as tough as tungsten, but it can make even more layers of tungsten around it as long as there are materials to transmute. Then, it can mimic just about any other stand; so it has it's own set of abilities plus every other stand in existence. For the weaknesses.... first part there, says 'even if caught off-guard' it can still transmute materials within milliseconds - that, is marvelously quick for a reaction time and should not count as a weakness. For the part about jamming an object through the physical tungsten armour.... one may consider that weakness moot, as it's previously stated that the stand's own energy body can also take on the durability of tungsten. The armour is slow to expand.... but it's made out of tungsten, so who's going to stretch or tear that? The weaknesses of sight, sound and touch... reasonable and fair - though the stand can heal blindness/deafness? To be put within a void/vacuum.... well, that works out, but I can't help but feel this is already nigh-impossible of a plan to commit to. For the last weakness.... humourous, but as a weakness, it's as niche/hard to take advantage of as "I am allergic to soap operas". In short, one point was deducted for how massively overpowered this stand is.

Aight, I think that covers it... if that helps answer...

I too am allergic to soap operas

Thanks for the input. Me and my Girlfriend's custom Stands tend to be overpowered... Also, the cable only tends to phase through things if the Stand does the same, which it actually tends to wind around things. Also, last I checked, Star Platinum can tear metal. It heals by using its ability to turn surrounding matter into stuff. Let's say Silver Chariot sliced off Inferno's arm, for example. (Note, if a Stand goes inside Inferno, like The Lovers, Steely Dan's Stand, Inferno is defenseless from the inside). Inferno would use its ability to turn a nearby piece of the wall into a spare arm, which would attach to the socket and function normally.

I see, okee doke
