Weird Science (Stand OC) - Turn

In the summer of 2021, I got into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and I found an important source of inspiration there. Not only for my big elaborate universe, regarding character design and character development, but even for original stands (related to Tarot AND music, I liked both ideas), which would be attributed to people around me and to myself. I intend to do for each stand a small standing turn, with a 3/4 front view and a 3/4 back view, a more dynamic pose once the design is "locked", as well as a JoJo-ified version of the users !

Here is a small turn of my personal musical stand, Weird Science (Wiido Sayansu in romaji), named after the Oingo Boingo song from their album Dead Man's Party (my favorite of the band) ! I wanted it to look like some alien mad scientist, with a crazy haircut, big goggles, a gas mask as well as several vials and tubes coming out of his body. I was inspired by stands like Hierophant Green and Echoes Act 3, but also by the Scarecrow from Batman : Arkham Asylum. Finally, I thought about Lavoisier's famous declaration "Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed", and this gave me the idea for Weird Science's power !

Weird Science is not a very resistant or physically strong stand, but it has an average speed, and its great precision helps it to be a terribly efficient fighter. Its main ability is to turn any liquid it touches into any other liquid. Weird Science can then slow down an enemy which flees using a vehicle if it has the opportunity to touch the fuel and turn it into tomato juice (for example), poison an enemy by discreetly changing a normal beverage into something toxic... but when it comes to lethal and direct approaches, this Stand can come into contact with its enemy's still circulating blood with its syringes, and turn it into nitroglycerine ; due to the beating of the heart (accelerated by fear), this attack usually leads to the violent explosion of the target. But any other noxious liquid would do, if the point is to not draw the attention of other foes.
When using its power on a vast expanse of liquid, it only applies to a four meters radius spherical area ; thus, if it's able to stay outside the liquid expanse and not its opponent, Weird Science can try and turn the fluids surrounding its target into sulfuric acid or lava (which shall solidify and not pollute) to trap him. Also, this stand has a range of only two meters, which forces its user to come closer to the enemies if he wants to one shot them, which might be complicated when facing some particularly dangerous stand users. But it can count on the support of Therion, Iron Maiden and Windmills of Your Mind.

Note : the look of the fluid changes depending on what Weird Science does with its power. As long as the liquid is inside its body, whatever it is, it can't hurt Weird Science.
