Peace of Mind

Peace of Mind is the stand of Jonah Bijou. Among one of the very first stands introduced, it is featured along Jonah in the entirety of Jade Jam.

Appearance
Peace of Mind is a humanoid stand, resembling the silhouette of his user. It is tall, well built, and shares Jonah's proportions. Its body is made of a crystal-like material, covered by a jade-like protective shell, seen on its chest, groin and arms. In colored art, the gems and under armor is shown in a green hue, with the outer shells taking on a dark blue appearance. Like most stands in the series, it can have varying hues and tones.

On areas like its sternum, shoulders and forehead, it can have a gem-looking design cue. Made out of a jade-like substance, they are near unbreakable, and the forehead one especially can be used for impaling. The visor-like eyes are always blank, signalling the lack of pupils. His head takes the form of a helmet, out of which a mouth cut out can be seen, revealing its human-like lips. It is assumed that if it were to be removed, its facial features would resemble Jonah's.

Over his left arm, a tape runs from about his shoulder to his forearm. It is tied around a supply tape, further reinforcing the stand's ability. His hands look simple enough, having the logo of a cassette tape plastered on each of them. On his right arm, both of his middle and index fingers have been transformed into scissor-like blades. It can be used by the stand to cut different materials and help the user in combat.

Personality
It doesn't really have a personality of its own. Through Jonah's use of it, though, it can appear to be sentient. He often uses it for help with chores, for hanging around, and for comforting. He has gotten so good at using it, that Peace of Mind can appear like a regular person, acting as a best friend of sorts to the user.

Unable to speak, it only does so through its stand cry, which he doesn't exhibit often.

Peace of Mind, the song it is named after, is a sort of "wake up" call to people in corporate spacings. It comments on the irrationality of people competing against each other and wasting their life in the "monotone comfort" of the corporal ladder. It encourages people to break free from this system and to find their own Peace of Mind. To Jonah and likewise his stand, this represents his breaking free of a lot of social constraints and his growth, basically his need to stop thinking about him not being enough and what other people think of him. It alternatively represents a warped but also true vision of the american dream. It sadly turns out to be a constant grind that sucks the life out of everyone caught up in it.

Abilities
Peace of Mind is a close range stand, with a maximum range of only about 3 meters. Although weak in strength and not very durable, it more than makes up for with its incredible speed and insane precision.

It can be one of the most cunning stands in the series. Through Jonah's constant use of it, it can control it as if it were sentient. Its incredible precision and fortunate ability can make quick work of one enemy at a time, also allowing him to gain invaluable information. If used with an insanely clever and patient user, this stand can overcome most of the challenges befitting a stand battle.


 * Super Speed: With it ranked A, it allows Jonah to always attack and command the battle first. It more than makes up for its lack of strength and low durability, and can often turn the tide of battle. It can easily overwhelm stands like Blackbird and Long Stretch with it alone.
 * Enhanced Eyesight: Despite not having proper eyes, it can see very well. Its precision stat is an A, which means it can track things for kilometers without failure. This also helps Jonah in being nifty. It can help him perform actions that are hard and keen, like breaking locks, attacking specific parts of the body, and so on so forth.
 * Precision: As its stat is A, it can help Jonah with very precise and helpful actions. Like damaging a specific steam pipe to stop all visibility on the ship's quarters, or specifically targeting Nishiki's ear drums, it can help with a lot of actions.
 * Ora Ora Rush: Like most humanoid stands in the series, Peace can launch into an array of fists that rely on mostly its speed. It can be insanely damaging, cracking bones and puncturing organs like machine gun rounds. It can leave most opponents pulverized and most objects destroyed.
 * Memory Manipulation: Its main ability, it involves ripping out a chunk of the foe's flesh. It then materializes into a cassette tape that Jonah can mess with. By cutting and editing the tape, it can make enemy users forget even the most basic things about them. From knowing how to walk to even how to use stands, nothing is safe from this ability.
 * Memory Reading: The chest gem can be used as a makeshift tape player of sorts. It helps Jonah read his opponent, and find out crucial information that can be the most crucial aspect to winning a stand battle.
 * Freezing: While the stand's ability is activated, the enemy user is unable to move or take out their stand. They can still think, however, and besides their locomotor system, their body's other functions are intact.

Trivia



 * Peace of Mind's design went through different phases before being refined. The very first design took on a more technological aspect, leaning more towards its first inspiration rather than the gem-like appearance it's known for. It was scrapped for being too complex and pretty ugly to look at. Rrad then leaned towards a more gem-like appearance, and after a bit of polish, the design we know today surfaced.
 * Peace of Mind was partly influenced by RoboCop. The head shape and visor-like eyes were taken from the look of his helmet. The cutout for the mouth also looks insanely similar. The very first design for Peace took more influence from him than anything else.
