Stand-awakening property
When a living creature is pierced by one of the Arrows, it will catalyze and awaken the individual’s dormant Stand . The reason the Arrows can awaken Stand abilities is because the meteorite the Arrows were made from was host to an alien virus. The virus is a merciless one, with most people who contract it dying. However, a small number of people possess an abstract trait that allows them to survive, and as if to reward this trait, the individual's Stand is manifested. This process has been d...
Arrow piercing Stand users or Stands
The effects of an Arrow piercing a Stand or its user after awakening are accompanied by a certain level of uncertainty. When an Arrow pierces a Stand user, it triggers the awakening of a new ability, as seen with Yoshikage Kira's Bites the Dust.

A family member without the...

In this case, a meteorite crashes into the desert and forms a mobile formation of land known as the "Devil's Palm" that would change location every time and was feared by the natives near the area. As was the case with the Arrow, it was rumored that the "Devil's Palm" sought out future Stand users, and like the Arrow, imposed a heavy affliction upon them from which the person would survive and...
