Whitesnake
A priest's Stand that steals the very essence of life, turning memories into discs.
Whitesnake is a Stand with the unique ability to extract and store the fundamental essence of living beings in the form of compact discs. Unlike most Stands that rely on physical force or energy projection, this entity specializes in information theft, capable of removing memories, skills, and even personality traits from its victims. It serves as the primary weapon for Enrico Pucci, a high-ranking priest within Passione who seeks to fulfill a grand destiny tied to his master's will.

Lore & Background
The implications of this power are profound within the narrative, as it allows Pucci to not only incapacitate enemies by stripping them of their past but also to enhance his own capabilities. By inserting these discs into himself or others, he can instantly acquire the stolen knowledge and abilities. This ability plays a pivotal role in his scheme to reach Heaven, as he uses it to gather information about the universe's secrets from those who have already died or been defeated, effectively turning every encounter into a source of data for his ultimate goal.
Reader's Guide
Whitesnake operates by physically extracting 'discs' from living targets through direct contact or proximity. These discs are not mere recordings but contain the actual essence of what they represent, such as memories, skills, or even personality traits. Once extracted, these discs can be stored within the Stand itself or inserted into other beings. If a disc containing a specific skill is placed inside a new host, that person instantly gains mastery over that ability, regardless of their prior experience. Conversely, removing a memory disc leaves the victim with a permanent gap in their life history. The Stand is wielded exclusively by Enrico Pucci, who uses it to gather intelligence and power for his plan to reach Heaven. It is highly versatile but requires the user to be close enough to touch or interact with the target to initiate the extraction process.
