[So basically one guy's Stand made him a reject from Yu-gi-oh! Good to know...]
That is quite a variety of talents, though I suppose it makes sense since people's souls are just as varied.
[Diarmuid tilts his head slightly at Kakyoin's reaction and then nods.]
I mean, I am not Stand expert, but it seems odd to me that one Stand would have such a strong physical ability and then also have one that is such a strong mental ability. The only thing I can think of that might explain it is something to do with him being a vampire and maybe having lived a long time, but again, I know so little about how that kind of thing works on your world...
[you know ordinarily i'd argue but that's pretty much literally what went down]
No--from what the others said, Dio had only awoken to his own Stand fairly recently. Before that, he was in a coffin at the bottom of the ocean. It can't be something like a matter of time to practice.
[Something here was striking Kakyoin as atypical even when the sheer range of Stand abilities came into consideration, but it was the kind of thing he'd need to carefully consider--another time, when he was better able to focus.]
You're probably right...maybe it's just to do with the variations in someone's soul compared to any other.
[His eyebrows draw together as he thinks on what might be going on. The next thing that comes to mind he almost immediately dismisses, but after a moment decides to mention just in case...]
I suppose if someone had something of a dual nature going on, but in his case, I doubt there is much if any humanity left in him... [Diarmuid shrugs.]
Ah well, perhaps something will strike you at some point in the future. I wouldn't give up on it quite yet.
Well, on my world at least, vampires were once human, so I was thinking that if part of him still clung to his humanity after becoming a vampire, then maybe that would be a big enough divide to cause a Stand to have split power focuses like that. One power would be tie to the part of him that considered itself a vampire while the other would be tied to the part that considered itself human. [But does anyone really think Dio has any humanity left?]
Possession is another possibility and don't you mention it and then 'never mind' me. [Diarmuid laughs, leaning forward again to rest his head in his hands.]
Believe me, if you knew the kind of things I saw as a kid... I grew up in the house of a god. Extraordinary was just what I saw before breakfast.

Vampires.
[Diarmuid nods as if that somehow just explains everything. It's probably a safer answer than the real one, anyway...]
