My hobby is to make puppets...then infuse them with the souls of real people. To tell you the truth, that is my Stand's ability.
~ D'Arby

Summary

Telence T. D'Arby is professional gamer. He uses his stand, Atum, to put the souls of people he defeats in Video Games into dolls. He, alongside his brother and many other stand users, are recruited by DIO to defeat the Joestars. He's chosen by DIO to be his butler and guard his mansion from intruders.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 10-B, possibly 8-C with Atum

Name: Telence T. D'Arby. Called Darby Younger in the Anime

Origin: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Classification: Human, Stand User

Powers and Abilities: Extrasensory Perception (Capable of seeing ghosts and souls among some other supernatural forces that are normally otherwise invisible), Aura, Summoning (Of his Stand), possibly Levitation (Though it should be noted this could be Kenny G.'s doing). Atum has Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Extrasensory Perception (Much like its user), Flight (Within its effective range), Incorporeality (Stands are the incorporeal manifestations of one's vital energy, and can only be harmed by other Stands), Non-Physical Interaction (Stands can interact with ghosts and other Stands), Selective Intangibility, Invisibility (Stands can only be seen by other Stands and Stand Users), Soul Manipulation (Like his brother, he can take the soul out of someone's body if they lose in a game to him. He can also grab onto someone's soul, attaching Atum's limbs to it, allowing him to attack them if need be), Telepathy (Can read someone's soul and have it answer a yes or no question, which must be answered with full honesty), Sealing (Can seal someone's soul into a doll)

Attack Potency: Human level, possibly Building level with Atum (Was able to physically restrain Star Platinum after catching its punch. Was confident that he could damage Jotaro after grabbing onto his soul, to the point that Kakyoin was willing to wager his soul to make him let go)

Speed: Unknown (Avoided a blow from near end of Part 3 Star Platinum, though he did so by dodging before he even began throwing his punch)

Lifting Strength: Average Human, at least Class K with Atum (Casually restrained Star Platinum. Pulled Jotaro into a portal despite both Kakyoin and Joseph pulling on him)

Striking Strength: Human level, possibly Building level with Atum

Durability: Human level, possibly Building level with Atum (Should be comparable to its AP. Its stats suggest its durability being well above its power. However, it should be noted Stand Stats in general, especially in Part 3, are extremely inconsistent)

Stamina: At least Average

Range: Standard Melee Range, Unknown with Atum

Standard Equipment: Atum

Intelligence: Telence has never lost in any game against his brother and beat the top gamer in Japan, though these should be taken with a grain of salt due to Atum's soul reading ability. In his game of F-Mega with Kakyoin, both were noted to be playing completely optimally.

Weaknesses: Any damage Atum takes will presumably be reflected onto him. Atum can't completely steal someone's soul unless they agree to wager it, and they need to recognize their defeat (Though this can be a benefit if his enemy believes they lost before the game ended, as seen with Kakyoin). He's forced to hold his end of a wager if said wager releases any of his captured souls, as shown with Kakyoin. His soul reading can only give him the answers to Yes or No questions. Due to his over-reliance on his Stand, he's more prone to being tricked, unlike his older brother.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Atum: Telence's Stand. A humanoid stand that complements his skills in games, mainly video games.

  • Soul Stealing: Atum can steal the soul of an enemy and place it inside of a doll if D'Arby wins a game against them. It can also grab onto a soul without stealing it, attaching the limb in question so that D'Arby can attack them at any time. This doesn't require him to win a game against them.
  • Soul Reading: Atum lets D'Arby see into his enemy's soul. Depending on what he is thinking, he will either hear "YES" or "NO" from them. These are completely accurate. As said by D'Arby himself, the soul cannot lie.
