#But dhampir Giorno is a hc that I stan in this house

[toasteaa]

You know what headcanon I actually enjoy immensely and wish more people would play with? The idea that Giorno Giovanna is a dhampir.

It's literally 2 am so I will give bullets as to why I love this hc and tinges of my own hcs:

The "Giorno killed his own parents" theory

Literally one of my favorite theories and not because Giorno's parents were pieces of shit. It gives Giorno a reason to have completely changed his name from Haruno to Giorno. Other than disconnecting himself from his past, he became a whole new person. And that's not just figurative - Giorno changed overnight because he finally gave into a thirst he didn't even know he had. Once he did that, those latent Dio genes finally woke up. It just cost his mother and step father their lives.

Giorno literally fits the definition of a dhampir

The traits of a dhampir are often as follows: "[Dhampirs] can sense a supernatural creature within a specified distance, have acute sense of sight and hearing, have regenerating abilities, immortality, walk in sunlight...[and] also eat like a human, dhampyres can also control animals." (source)

"sense a supernatural creature" is pretty obsolete in the Jojo universe because of all the Stand users, however, Giorno is usually the first person to sense when something is amiss or is the first to figure out another Stand ability. Additionally, what are Gold Experience's abilities? Regeneration and creating life out of inanimate objects - including animals that he can "control". Giorno doesn't need to drink blood all the time - or much at all really - because he isn't a full fledged vampire. Hell, if we want to really get into gene pools, Giorno wouldn't even really be a halfling because Jonathan's body was human. If Giorno's mom got pregnant before Dio was fully bonded with Jonathan's body, there's a chance that Giorno is only 1/3 vampire - meaning he could probably go for years before without drinking blood, but now probably needs it every few months. That need probably increases with each drink he has and it would definitely be interesting to see someone play around with the idea (or I'll do it myself -).

It explains why Bruno was able to last as long as he did after his fight with King Crimson

Bruno fucking died. There's literally no way to ignore that. He literally died and Giorno brought him back to life. How? We see that it was GE that did it, but that's not explained - GE's abilities are rarely explained. However we have seen how GE works on Bruno twice before this funky, back to life sequence happened and it was in a way that made his consciousness extremely fast and strong - almost like a vampire.

Bruno is a walking corpse after the fight with KC, however he comes out of the church unscathed when he and the gang decide to keep Trish safe and defy the Boss. He has no blood, as seen when he fucks up his ankle while talking to kiss men. He has no pulse. He can still eat regular food. Why? Because Giorno accidentally made him a dhampir, but didn't do it completely. You can't make a dhampir/vampire out of someone that has already died. Giorno managed to fix Bruno's body and yank his soul back in, but it wasn't enough to actually keep him functional. His body was breaking down because of it.

Anyway I'm gonna go pass out now and I hope this made even the slightest bit of sense because I've got brainpower but my eyes are also threatening to beat me up if I don't sleep.
