Dio Brando

"'Rise and shine. Everything's gone to shit.'""— Dio, to Remilia"Dio Brando is the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. While this incarnation of Dio is around the age of 18, several events have led up to him gaining both vampiric powers and his older self's stand, The World. Originally similar to his portrayal in his source material, a dauntless and maniacal villain, Dio himself has become much less vicious, actually having made a few friendships during his time in Starcross.

Appearance
Dio is a handsome young man of above average height. He has long blonde hair and three moles on the lobule of his left ear, supposedly signifying his destiny as a conqueror and ruler of men. He's usually seen wearing a white shirt accented with gold trims and rolled up sleeves, accompanied by fingerless gloves. Dio also wears breeches, a type of trousers commonly seen in his time period along with a pair of striped strocks and brown loafers.

Personality
While having mellowed out compared to his past, Dio is still rather picky when it comes to people. Dio only met most of his friends due to happenstance, and is not one to actively seek conversation with strangers. He will not hesitate to voice his displeasure if they annoy him. Despite this, Dio still appears reserved, polite and intelligent around those he is friends with. Dio's demeanor is almost always one of composure and style. It's hard to get him to crack, save for the occasional fits of maniacal rage in combat.
