Design : [HAYSTACK PRINCIPLE] appears to be made from a black, almost charcoal-colored metal, its torso having distinct patterns consisting of what appears to be blood droplets originating from stab wounds around the area over the heart, flowing down and outwards from the area in swirling, crude patterns. Apon his shoulders are two pads that are covered in poorly fashioned spikes and thorns, all curved upwards with the intent of skewering anyone going for an overhead slash to its neck. Its arms and legs are made from what appears to be rings of the material held together by a cross on either side of the arm or leg. Its hands are normally shaped, except for small holes between his fingertips, which will slide needles out when [HAYSTACK PRINCIPLE] clenches its fist. The feet are shaped like normal armor, but the helmet, however, has two firm horns where the ears are, curving upwards, with 3 spikes ontop of the head, the middle one being larger then the other two. Its helms "Face" is completely barren, the metal slanted forward except for what appears to be a hole over the eyes of the helms visor area, where two soft, red lights shine out in place of eyes.

Ability : [HAYSTACK PRINCIPLE]'s ability is Needle Inductment. When this Stand hits a target, it will cause needles to harmlessly grow out of whatever is hit, these needles being composed of standard size, size 18 to be exact, and high carbon steel wire. It will draw the substance from seemingly nowhere, though testing is still out to see if it can convert latent nutrients in the body into this alloy, however unlikely it is. Once these Needles have been grown, [HAYSTACK PRINCIPLE] can either choose to force the needles to dig into whatever object its currently growing from, causing damage proportional to what it is and how many needles there are, or it can choose to have the needles all shoot out at a singular target. They will automatically aim towards the target before they are fired, but once they are fired, they become normal needles and cannot be controlled by [HAYSTACK PRINCIPLE].

Stand Cry : Nidi-Nidi-Nidi!

Flair : I will accept any and all flairs given, no matter of rank.

Next Week's Contest : If I should win, I would like the next contests theme, if were still doing the "winner chooses themes" thing, to be "Soulsborne Music".
