Steel ball run

An ex-prodigy horse jockey who became a paraplegic after being shot in the spine in a movie theater line. After accepting his disability, he encountered Gyro Zeppeli and his steel balls. After touching them his legs started to work. He now stays close to Gyro as a close friend. He possesses a stand, Tusk, which lets him imbue his fingernails with the power of spin, allowing him to shoot them out like bullets. He is snarky, but not rude. He’s generally not trusting, but doesn’t hate people. He wants to collect all the Saint’s Corpse parts to potentially walk again. When he exerts a lot of effort, he frequently yells out “ORA”

He possesses a stand, Ball Breaker. But it only manifests when he utilizes the ‘Golden Spin’ via the golden rotation. Gyro is generally snarky, and rude. But he is also very kind to his friends and respectful to his rivals. He takes pride in his ability and is usually very funny. Gyro’s main goal is to win the Steel Ball Run race. He wants the prize money to pay for a young boy’s freedom in his home country. When he exerts a lot of effort, he frequently yells out “ORA”

The sun beat down on the starting line of the Steel Ball Run, where the air was thick with dust and anticipation. Horses stamped their hooves impatiently, their riders tense and coiled like springs. The crowd roared, a living wall of noise that pressed against the fences.
Gyro Zeppeli stood at the starting line, his two steel balls tucked into his coat pockets, humming a jaunty Italian tune. His friend Johnny Joestar sat on his horse beside him, legs dangling uselessly beneath him.
