Gold Experience

"Life... arise... Be born, a new existence."

- Giorno Giovanna

Gold Experience (ゴールド・エクスペリエンス (黄金体験)) is the Stand of Giorno Giovanna, featured in the fifth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Vento Aureo.

It is a short-range power-type Stand with the ability to create life from inanimate material.

Appearance
Gold Experience is a humanoid Stand that mirrors the slim physique and average height of its user, Giorno. There are curved carvings engraved on the top of its head, which resembles a as well as the body of a. It notably has a large arch in the center with five lines emerging from it, segmenting the head into six symmetrical divisions, with the two lines going to the top corners of the arch each having a pattern.

Lacking pupils and irises to look more mysterious, its eyes are segmented by lines. Below its eyes, there are curved markings similar to the letter "J" extending down to beside its lips. It has grooves covering its chest, forearms and legs. Gold Experience bears stylized, small wings on its shoulders and large on each side of its chest, waist, hands, and feet, paralleling the ladybug emblems present on Giorno's design. It wears a loincloth covering its back with slings attached to the front, similar to the suspenders on DIO's pants. It also wears elbow braces and knee pads.

Gold Experience's design is based on scarab beetles, which were a symbol of creation in ancient Egypt, and on ladybugs, symbolizing regeneration, with its angel wings as a symbol of peace. Its helmet, according to Araki, could represent a flower waiting to bloom.

Personality
Gold Experience doesn't express itself much, usually seen with a stern expression on its face. It follows its user's commands without manifesting any will. Its Stand Cry is "Muda Muda Muda~!", like DIO and his Stand, The World.

Abilities
Gold Experience is a close-range Stand, with a range of 2 meters from its user. Relative to other similar Stands such as Star Platinum or Crazy Diamond, Gold Experience is not particularly strong. Despite this, it is rather fast and capable of easily destroying vehicles such as cars and motorcycles. Gold Experience does, however, possess a very versatile power.

Life Giver
Gold Experience can endow anything its fists touch with life, which translates into a variety of different effects.

Life Shot
Gold Experience's ability can also be applied to living individuals. This mainly causes two effects:

Life Sensor
Thanks to Gold Experience's mastery over life, Giorno can sense life itself. Giorno himself claims that life energy to him exists in "clusters". When he touches someone or something, he can sense other life forms from within, allowing him to check if someone is alive or even determine how many souls there may be inside a given vessel. He also planned to track Diavolo by planting a brooch given life on the latter to sense it from afar and stalk the Boss. Giorno also applied this ability by touching the plane that Team Bucciarati planned on flying to Sardinia in, making sure that nobody was inside before any of them boarded.

Puzzle & Dragons (Android/iOS)
Gold Experience was obtainable for a limited time as an assist in the mobile game Puzzle & Dragons.
