Apparence
Star Platinum is a humanoid Stand, resembling a tall, well-built man with similar proportions to Jotaro, if not more muscular. His skin is often a shade between purple, blue, green and some places are golden. His face and body have various colors.
He has long flowing hair, a darker hue above the eyes and on the bridge of the nose. The spaces under the eyes, on the cheeks and chin are darker in color and are clearly distinguishable from the space around the nose and mouth. He has a mark on his chin and a three-part metal headband, the central part of which is shaped like a vertical ellipse. Initially, his facial features were very similar to those of Jotaro.
A wavy line runs from each arm to the front of his torso, then falls down his legs. He wears little clothing and armor, including a short circular scarf, shoulder pads with a spiral design, long gloves with nails in the back, knee and elbow pads, a loincloth and short boots (which are longer from part 6 on).
Star Platinum was designed to look like a guardian spirit. His shoulder pads resemble those worn in Hokuto no Ken (Ken the Survivor). The spiral patterns symbolize undulation and the concept of infinity.
In the animated and film adaptations of Diamond is Unbreakable, all of Star Platinum's clothing, such as his red scarf and black gloves, are white, reflecting Jotaro's transition from black to white. His darker purple highlights, such as those under his eyes, also turn sky blue.
Personality
Jotaro described Star Platinum as extremely violent. He is perfectly silent, with the sole exception of his scream, the "ORA ORA ORA!". Possessing an almost human face, he changes his expressions depending on his mood, but generally has the same stoic face as Jotaro, smiling only to tell his victim of a moment of pain.
Star Platinum shows some sort of interest in self-preservation, as seen when he stops a bullet that Jotaro experimentally shoots himself in the head, protects an immobilized Jotaro from DIO's attacks during the time stoppage, and revives him after a near-death experience by pumping his heart directly into his chest (however, given Star Platinum's pioneering role in the series, this ability may be primarily related to the metaphysical or subconscious qualities of Stand wielders).
He is named after the Tarot card of The Star, a symbol of hope, optimism and discernment.
Skills
Star Platinum is one of the strongest stands in close combat, so its range does not exceed two meters.
- Force : Star Platinum has immense strength, capable of stopping a semi-truck running into a Jeep carrying 4 men and a girl with a single punch. He can also destroy meters of artificial diamond in a few seconds.
- Protection of his host: Star Platinum can act freely if it is to protect or provide for Jotaro, if he is taken by surprise or is hindered: when DIO stops time, when Lovers makes a surprise attack, by restarting his heart when he is close to death or by providing him with food and entertainment when he is in prison.
- Star Finger : Star Platinum extends its finger two meters, allowing it to surprise its opponent with an attack beyond Star Platinum's usual range. This attack is moderately powerful and is therefore rarely used. It could be a reference to the Zoom Punch of the Wave Wielders.
- Accuracy : This stand has excellent accuracy, which is said to be even more effective than a machine. This allows it to catch a ball in mid-air or microscopic objects.
- Exceptional vision : Star Platinum has exceptional vision, far beyond that of any human being. Jotaro uses this power several times, looking with Star Platinum, allowing him to scan the desert or to watch the movements of a professional card player. It is thanks to this power that Jotaro can distinguish the fly on the ideography of DIO and draw it in great detail.
- Speed: Star Platinum is also among the fastest stands, with a speed comparable to that of The World or Silver Chariot. Its speed is supposed to equal the speed of light, although it is 380 km/h.
- Stopping time: Star Platinum can stop time for a few seconds (2 seconds in part 3, then 0.5 seconds in part 4 IV since he hasn't used his stand for 10 years and 5 seconds in part 6). Jotaro can act freely during this pause. He discovers this ability during the fight against DIO and requires a certain period of recharge before being able to stop time again (contrary to DIO, whose vampire nature greatly reduces this recharge time)
Star Platinum: The World
Stopping time
When activated, Star Platinum is able to stop the flow of time for a brief moment, making everything around him seem frozen in place. During this time, Jotaro is able to interact with any object or person within its range. The measurements of time during the time out match the normal measurements, as evidenced by Jotaro's involuntary reduction in the duration of the time out affected by Made In Heaven. He is unable to use this ability sequentially and must wait a few seconds between each use.
When Jotaro was young, this ability lasted 5 seconds, but it has diminished over time due to the negligence of his wielder. Ten years after his first use, Jotaro is only able to stop time for half a second, but he eventually extends it to 1 or 2 seconds during the last half of Diamond is Unbreakable.
In Stone Ocean, the Stand is given the official name Star Platinum: The World, as well as different stats than the original Star Platinum. Despite a significant drop in the Stand's persistence, Jotaro increases the duration of the time-stop from 2 seconds to its original 5 seconds during the Cape Canaveral confrontation.
