Сынок Baby Face - непобедимый стэнд дальнего действия! Никому его не одолеть!

”

Baby Face (ベイビィ・フェイス, Beibyi Feisu) это стэнд Мелоне, появляющийся в Vento Aureo.

Baby Face - уникальный в своём роде стэнд: это компьютер, который при помощи некоторых манипуляций генерирует второй, разумный стэнд, способный к развитию. В манге Мелоне называет оба стэнда Baby Face, в аниме-адаптации ко второму стэнду он обращается Джуниор (младший) (ジュニア, Junia).

Внешний вид

Baby Face внешне напоминает ноутбук с трекболом, в который Мелоне может вставлять маленькие сосуды, содержащие образцы ДНК. Снизу у него находится лицо, руки и ноги. Baby Face, в отличие от многих других стэндов, виден в том числе и обычным людям.

Вторая его форма - гуманоид с модифицированным металлическим ирокезом на голове. В торсе у него несколько кабелей, соединяющих верхнюю и нижную половины тела. Внешний вид был создан таким образом, чтобы стэнд напоминал злую версию Echoes ACT3.^[1] Изначально ребёнок, со временем Джуниор может вырасти до размеров взрослого человека.

Оба варианта стэнда изображены в цветной манге в светло-синих тонах, в аниме преобладает лавандовая палитра. В игре GioGio's Bizarre Adventure, оригинальный стэнд не показан (видна только белая клавиатура), Джуниор представлен в белых и серых тонах с зелёным ирокезом.

Личность

Оригинальный Baby Face не имеет какой-либо личности и сознания. Джуниор, в свою очередь, это сознательный стэнд, отделённый от своего хозяина. Он рождается без знаний, но с интеллектом, и для положительной динамики развития нуждается в образовании; иначе он может стать непослушным и неконтролируемым.^[2]

Личность Джуниора основывается на таковой у его "матери" и формируется благодаря "образованию", которое ему даёт Мелоне. Вариант, противостоящий группе Буччарати, был рождён благодаря "матери" с пылким характером, в результате чего демонстрировал в себе те же черты.

Способности

Baby Face

Сам по себе Baby Face - автоматический стэнд без особых боевых способностей, не подходящий для прямого противостояния. Его сила заключается в создании второго стэнда, которого Мелоне направляет на своих жертв. Процесс создания второго стэнда требует времени и ресурсов, но результат является безопасным для владельца (при уничтожении второго стэнда Мелоне не получает урон) и довольно эффективным.

Генерация гомункула

Мелоне создаёт гибрид стэнда и человека

Благодаря своей форме и функциям компьютера, Baby Face имеет возможность генерировать второй стэнд с боевыми способностями.^[2] Для начала Мелоне изучает женщину, необходимую ему для этой процедуры. Он собирает различную информацию (возраст, состояние здоровья, группа крови, знак зодиака, предпочитаемые сексуальные позиции), чтобы узнать о шансах совместимости, а также физической силе и потенциальном характере будущего "ребёнка". Если на основании данных Мелоне делает вывод, что данный "ребёнок" ему подходит, Baby Face атакует выбранную женщину, в результате чего формируется гуманоид.^[3]

Though the child is progenated through undisclosed means, it is stated that the insemination holds no similarities to human reproduction; upon waking up post-Stand encounter, Baby Face's victim shows no signs of being raped.^[1]

The development is fast, taking three minutes for a fertilized egg to fully develop into a new junior^[3] that then appears near the host. The child also appears to develop within or around the mother's head, approximately towards the back. This is hinted at when Baby Face's speech seemingly originates from that point, and urine trickles down the target woman's neck when it relieves itself.

If Melone possesses a sample of a target's blood, he can incorporate it into the junior by placing the sample in a niche beside Baby Face's keyboard. The resulting junior will be able to sense the target's location and track them no matter the distance.^[3]

Computer

In addition to generating homunculi, Baby Face can be used like a regular computer, capable of holding and interacting with the data gathered by Melone.^[3] The computer Stand also maintains contact with the junior, as if Melone was having an online discussion with the junior's spirit. A webcam and microphone allow Melone to show the junior images and converse with it orally.^[2] It also monitors the junior's status, allowing Melone to watch its growth.^[4]

Junior

The secondary Stand (or junior) that Baby Face creates is an independent, long-range, power-type Stand that acts as a surrogate fighter for Melone. It is powerful by default, can develop further depending on the progenitor, and its demise doesn't affect Melone, making it useful as a proxy assassin.^[5] On the other hand, because of its independence, it can disobey its creator under duress. Its creation is also a lengthy and intensive process, as Melone must find a suitable "mother" and train the resulting junior in order to carry out its mission. As a unique mix of human and Stand, the junior can be seen by anyone^[5] and is vulnerable to mundane things most Stands are immune to, like burning.^[4]

Matter Manipulation

Bucciarati is turned into nondescript cubes

By generating a square-shaped vacuum, the secondary Stand is capable of breaking matter apart into cubes while keeping lifeforms alive.^[2]

It can forcefully divide anything it touches into cubes, or merely extract a single cubic part of the target.^[6]^[7]

Upon dicing something, Baby Face is capable of rearranging and reconstituting the structure of said objects into anything it desires; for instance, it separated Trish's body into cubes and rearranged them into a table. It can even apply its powers to itself, reproducing the appearance of anything and blending in with the environment.^[6]^[7] The junior can thus hide inside an object, go into any adjacent object, or even fly about as a mass of cubes in order to evade attacks.^[8]

Although cubed people typically stay alive despite their condition,^[9] Baby Face can weaponize its ability by removing key parts of the body like the throat.^[7] It can also absorb the cubes for nourishment, although it is only seen using this on its "mother" to hasten its growth.^[2]

Physical Growth and Aging

The junior starts as a small baby able to hide inside someone's hair. Over a short period of time, it will grow both physically and mentally into a fully aged adult.^[2]

Aside from developing physically, it will grow as a Stand itself. While most autonomous Stands, such as Killer Queen's Sheer Heart Attack, lack precision or the ability to allow their users a sense of awareness to their current condition and status, Baby Face is able to assimilate information witnessed or heard. Through that learning and Melone's counsel,^[7] the Stand will become more powerful and efficient in combat. It can also acquire other skills separate from fighting, such as driving a motorcycle.^[8]

On the other hand, it is free-spirited and may go berserk^[5] and disobey Melone's orders, especially if its "mother" was strong-willed. For better or for worse, the Stand will then follow its instinct alone when battling an enemy.^[4]
