Description
User: ???
Stand Name: Mano Negra
Stand Ability: This stand can hypnotize and drag out people's souls, to make current user younger.
Power: A
Speed: B
Range: B
Durability: C
Precision: C
Learning: E

Description:
Mano Negra is a fully-manifesting stand, which can have different users and acts on their own.
To fully activate this stand, special conditions must occur.
At first: stand can appear only in long, not-too-crowded-or-empty, not-wide alleys, with houses (usually tenement ones) packed one next to another.
To make stand appear, user has to mark one of the walls with a sign of black hand (by using his own hand).

Mano Negra will then emerge from cloud of smoke at the end of an alley and casually walk to the other end.
During this, every person who will catch sight of Mano Negra will be affected by ability.
They will walk towards stand, hypnotized. Their soul (and stand) will "betray" body and approach stand.
Mano Negra will then use right hand to drag soul/stand out completely and reshape them into the form of a string, which will tie to their outfit.

Mano Negra will also try to pull out soul of people who attack this stand without looking.

After becoming souless people will continue to slowly follow Mano Negra, until it gets to the end of an alley.
It will them disappear in the same way it appeared. Additionaly, those who will be standing too close, will disapear along with stand.
This ability does not affect user, who is forced to remain outside during this process.

Stand will not be seen for those who are outside of alley. (unless they enter it)

One side of user's hand will remain black until Mano Negra's second appearance.
Mano Negra cannot be summoned again this day. It will appear again on nearby roofs approaching midnight.
After short walk stand will sit down and starts attaching soul-strings to lute it was carrying all along.

During second appearance Mano Negra can be seen with no consequences.
When lute has full set of strings, Mano Negra will start playing on it.
During this, strings will eventually break, releasing soul to afterlife, to be quickly and authomatically replaced with another one.

When all string are gone, stand will disappear. Mano Negra will reward their user for every soul it "released".
During random nights user will become younger (6 months younger for 1 soul). If user suddenly dies, he/she will be painfully regenerated and revived for the price of 1 soul.

If Mano Negra is attacked during second appearance it cannot use soul-dragging ability.
But it can use currently "played" souls/stands to defend themselves.
Those souls will not express complex behaviour and it's very unlikely for stands to use their abilities during this.

Stand itself can also use their regenerative power on themselves and cannot be destroyed in most cases.
The key for defeating Mano Negra is their lute. Once destroyed it will release all "unused" souls/stands back to their hosts.
Mano Negra will crumble down and all ages granted to their user will be taken back (presumably killing user).

This stand decides when it wants to manifest.
If user refuses to activate it, Mano Negra will starts haunting user, appearing in various places when user is alone and causing horrific nightmares during their sleep.
If that's not enough, Mano Negra will start causing visions and talk to user in their head.

Mano Negra will also prevent most attempts of suicide.

If user is gone, stand remains, waiting for fate to grant them with new user, and sometimes manifesting to some potential users, luring them into becoming the owner of Mano Negra.
(When Mano Negra has no user) Any person can become user by marking one of the walls of the alley where last appearance occured, with a sign of black hand.
(When Mano Negra has user) This can also be performed when Mano Negra is manifested, causing it to turn back , return all held souls and disappear, changing user and doing no harm to anyone.
This user-swap cannot be overused, otherwise Mano Negra will simply ignore new attempts until it collects and "relase" some souls.

Appearance:

Mano Negra appears as 2.3m-tall creature, resembling skeleton, wearing dark-red cloak and sombrero.
Their right hand is black and emits particles of the same colour.
In fact, skullish face of Mano Negra is a mask. (which can be taken off during "persuading" user to activate stand).
