About
hi !
i’m auggie, 20, canadian, & i have approximately half a brain cell. no preferred pronouns.
Muse doubles, crossovers, and OCs are heavily encouraged to interact !
I love seeing other takes on Giorno's character, whether they're centered around canon or are crack personalities.
If you would like to continue a thread from an ask meme, feel free to reblog the answered post !
I use an ask banner, for convenience to others as well as myself.
I am completely fine with having multiple threads with one character, in fact it's almost unavoidable to me, and I enjoy it.
Most of my threads, if not my entire blog, utilizes the small text ( + others ) format for emphasizing the impact / feel I want to project in my character's narration, actions, and words.
If this at all bothers you, or it is in your rules, I would appreciate a heads-up !
It's important to me that my writing partners are happy with our threads.
Please keep in mind my Giorno is canon-divergent.
I develop Giorno by the year, and age him with his birthday, so I will have a separate tag for his Vento Aureo verse where he's still 15. I made this blog for my Gio's 18th birthday, so posts without a specific verse tag will be with a post-Vento don, who's still easing into his responsibilities as the head of the mafia.
Jojo's has a canon timeline, so I do not consider any of my representations as "ageing up". I write him this way because I enjoy the thought of expanding on his already interesting character.
NSFW themes like gore and sex probably aren't going to come up very often.
I'm not very comfortable with Giorno being sexualized in general, but the majority of my verses take place after Gio hits 18, and like Jotaro, I've developed him to grow into a more mature personality. If this at all makes you uncomfortable, my tag for NSFW is ;
━━ ⊰ ❀ nsfw.
for those who would like to block it !
As for violence, I'm a fan of it, but I don't often find the opportunity for Giorno to get violent in threads. That won't take away from the fact that he IS the head of the mafia, and like most gangsters, he can be ruthless even when he's just giving the orders. Throughout the show, he doesn't show qualms with murdering those who put themselves in the way of his goals, and I aim to keep that as an important part of his character ( outside AUs ).
Shipping can work with any of my verses except Haruno, as he is a pre-teen. I'm honestly not very picky about ships, but of course, I refuse to ship Giorno with any Joestar or familial figure in his life ( such as Bruno or Abbacchio ). If I see you shipping Gio with either of his real dads you'll be hard blocked, I am extremely uncomfortable with that kind of content.
I do ship post-Vento Giomis in my current verse, so there's your warning if that ship bothers you, and the tag for it will be ;
━━ ⊰ ❀ giorno && mista.
However, I would never push this ship on anyone, and am completely comfortable with them interacting as just friends !
As for ships with OCs or crossover muses, I would be thrilled.
Whether it's slow burn, a one-sided crush, an OT3, or anything in between, I'm usually up for it.
Shipping obviously isn't my main priority, but romance and partnership development are very enjoyable for me.

rules
I'm pretty lenient about rules, but if you break them on a constant basis, I'll likely soft block you for my own mental health.
1. Basic RP etiquette applies, ( no godmodding, cut your posts, etc. )
2. Do not spam me for replies, or in general, please. I am often very busy with work, spending time with people I care about, or just out doing other things I enjoy. If I haven’t replied to a thread after about a week or so, and you would like to continue, all I need is a heads-up !
3. No drama / callouts. I think callout culture is unhealthy, and the whole reason I came to Tumblr was to avoid drama, so I don’t want to see it.
4. If I don’t follow back, please respect that. It could be because you’re a personal blog, I just don't vibe with your style, or any number of things. I’m a bit picky, but feel free to come in my DMs and change my mind.
5. I would appreciate a soft block if you show no interest in interacting !
It clears the blog clutter for me and gives me a much better understanding of who actually wants to be mutuals.
6. Please do not take my edits or icons. All icons were cropped and edited by me, as well as any other edits on this blog. However, most art I use for these do not belong to me unless stated otherwise, so feel free to ask me for the source material.
7. If you are a personal blog or I don't follow you, but you still show interest in interacting with my blog, I ask that you please use anon when sending in a question !
And finally, I want to thank those who have read through my about & rules. I know it's tedious but I appreciate it !

POWERS
LIFE GIVER.
Gold Experience can endow anything its fists touch with life, which translates into a variety of different effects.
This ability's most featured use is converting inorganic objects into living organisms, be it an animal or a plant. For instance, it can transform a piece of luggage into a frog or a lighter into a rose. These lifeforms can persist for as long as Giorno wills them to, regardless of distance. It can also freely cancel this effect and return an object to its original inorganic state.
The speed of the transformation varies wildly, depending on the desired form: an object morphing into a plant is always shown to be fast, but animals generally take more time. Thus, transforming parts of a helicopter into a tree is nearly instantaneous and violent enough that the branches can burst through metal, but transforming a rubber lifesaver into a fish takes a noticeable amount of time. Giorno has also instantaneously transformed drops of his blood into a swarm of ants, suggesting that the transformation time is proportional to the size and complexity of the life form he creates.
Giorno frequently produces small life forms ( frogs, snakes, flies ) and plants of which he has no control. Thus, when he creates an animal, he has to guess what the animal is likely to do in order to take advantage of it. Since the animals do not always act the way he predicts, like when a snake accidentally burns itself on a lighter, using them can prove detrimental. Notably, however, life forms created from parts of a whole, such as someone’s tooth or debris from a statue, will naturally make their way back to whatever it came from, such as when Giorno transformed Narancia's shoe into a fly so that he could be tracked. If the environment is absolutely unsuitable for life, such as when White Album decreased the temperature of the environment to around -100 °C, then Giorno cannot transform objects into lifeforms.
Initially, when any of the created life forms were attacked, the damage would be reflected back at the attacker, including Stand abilities. For instance, Luca had tried to smash a frog with his shovel only for his head to be bashed instead.
Also shown once is its ability to even clone organisms. During Bruno's fight against Diavolo, Giorno recreates Coco Jumbo the turtle from afar, using its Stand ability to temporarily trap Diavolo inside the turtle.
LIFE SHOT.
Gold Experience's ability can also be applied to living individuals, causing their thought processes to greatly accelerate.
When Bruno Bucciarati was hit by one of Gold Experience's punches, his consciousness accelerated to such a point that he perceived everything else to move slowly. However, his body did not follow the sudden surge of speed and could hardly move, and Bucciarati had an out-of-body experience as his consciousness separated itself. While it heightens the senses of its victims as well, it also means that the then-defenseless body will feel a much more acute and intense pain over a much longer period of time when injury is taken; a punch to the face from Gold Experience that lasted a brief instant was perceived by Bucciarati as lasting much longer, even long enough for him to think full sentences and internally describe the sensation of pain as he's being punched.
Though only shown once, Gold Experience can also speed up an already-existing life form's life through its ability. Thus, he caused a tree to wither and expire immediately as a result of a greatly shortened lifespan.
FLESH AND ORGAN CREATION.
Inspired by Baby Face's ability to transform body parts into inert cubes, Giorno discovered that he could do the reverse and create singular body parts and organs out of inorganic matter. Thus he is able to heal gruesome wounds through various means.
In one instance, he transforms bullets into the very flesh they pierced and grew back one of his hands out of a ladybug brooch. The process of replacing lost organs and flesh with created ones is noted to be painful, although neither Giorno nor Narancia react when this ability is used on them, with only Mista feeling any sort of pain from the process when Giorno heals him.
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 lifeforms 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.

POWERS
ENHANCEMENT.
Gold Experience Requiem is a close-range Requiem Stand that boasts an incredible increase in both speed and power compared to its previous form.
Created by the Arrow and born from Giorno's strong desire to defeat King Crimson and exact revenge on Diavolo, it wields the arcane power of reverting anything to "zero", effectively undoing their actions; a power that trumps even the time erasure/nullification of King Crimson.
Gold Experience Requiem is powerful enough as a Stand that it permits Giorno to levitate with it.
Due to its increased power, Gold Experience Requiem has the ability to fire a stone fast enough that it ceases to be visible to the human eye, and has enough power behind it to penetrate through a hand and destroy part of a building.
RETURN TO ZERO.
Gold Experience Requiem's ultimate ability is to revert actions and willpower back to the state of "zero", completely nullifying them and preventing them from becoming "real".
If the opponent is killed by Gold Experience Requiem, then they will continuously experience death, as they will die but repeatedly return to point "zero": the point immediately before the process of death ( i.e Diavolo's endless death loops ). Through this ability, GER creates a new "reality", as it calls it, for Diavolo as a form of poetic justice for the many times the mob boss has manipulated reality to his advantage with King Crimson.
LIFE GIVER.
Despite its transformation, Gold Experience Requiem appears to have not only retained its life-giving abilities after evolving, but said abilities are noted to be vastly more potent compared to the original Gold Experience.
This is demonstrated briefly when Requiem fires a high-speed small stone with enough power to pierce Diavolo's hand, before it transforms into a scorpion and attacks him.

BACKGROUND
Haruno was a gift from Eldath, the mother of groves, to two powerful druid elders, in an attempt to solve the rising conflict between them. For ten short years, the child seemed to keep the peace, growing alongside both fathers and having a relatively normal childhood among his village's druid circle. However, one of the elders grew to become greedy, and made an attempt to take the gifted child away as the village gathered to celebrate Haruno's birthday.
During this attempt, he was caught by the other elder, and made an escape by burning their village to the ground. Sadly, it left only one survivor, and what happened to either of Haruno's fathers still remains a mystery to him, as their bodies were never recovered.
The child was eventually found by a travelling druid who had come to converse with Haruno's old circle, and brought back to their own, in a village built far outside the comforts of the forest. A large village mostly inhabited by humans, causing young eladrin to stick out quite obviously.
A woman agreed to take him in, and for a short while, he isolated himself inside, to recover from the loss he'd witnessed. When he was finally ready to leave the house, it became apparent that the other village children wanted nothing to do with him; they claimed he was bad luck, because of his survivor status. Being a refugee, and having such an unusual appearance had turned them away, leaving him only the company of livestock. This was something he had grown accustomed to over time, and after about a year, felt better about this relatively fresh beginning.
What Haruno hadn't properly prepared for was the fact that human lives went by much quicker than what he had been used to before. His adoptive mother married a man that the child had barely gotten to know, and the small family moved in with him. This new step-father had a terrible temper, and when Haruno's mother wasn't around, would abuse the boy both physically and verbally.
This continued on for some time, until two or so years later, when Haruno had begun to notice subtle changes in the village. Men who wore symbols and specific colors, that would only ever speak to the village folk in the privacy of their homes. After some prying, he discovered they were from groups called factions.
It was not long until the fateful encounter with a cornered faction member, injured and laying vulnerably on the ground. A spell of plant growth was cast impulsively on the stranger once Haruno had analyzed the situation, and although it only lasted for a few minutes, it was enough time to send hostiles in another direction.
This action led to the faction member promising Haruno safety, and the mysterious hero delivered. Suddenly, the beatings stopped, and the isolation from the other children had come to a halt as well.
Well over twenty years went by before he moved out of his old home, and traveled back to the forest he'd grown up in, to familiarize himself with the wildlife and get back in touch with his druidic roots.
Now he's eighty nine, steadily climbing his way to becoming a powerful druid, and dreams of becoming a faction leader. Because he has disconnected from all previous druid circles, and has no elvish relatives to give him his official name, Haruno has claimed his own adulthood ten years early by donning the name of Giorno Giovanna.

He lives with his older brother, Diego Brando, in a manor funded by their family's successful lifelong investing. Because it is against the law for stand users to become heroes, or be put in any position of political power, Giorno actively covers for his brother who poses as a regular quirk user. He wants his brother to live the life neither he nor any of the other stand user students can achieve, however wrong that may be.
