Bianco e nero: Gelato e Sorbe

Me hubiera gustado dibujar a Gelato y Sorbe por separado, cada uno con su stand, pero no sabemos nada al respecto: desconocemos el nombre, aspecto y habilidades de estos stands. La única pista que tenemos es se complementaban.
He imaginado muchas veces cómo podrían ser, pero mi inventiva no puede competir con la del autor, así que, de momento, prefiero no aportar mis propias ideas que sin duda, no estarían a la altura.

*******

I'd like to draw Gelato and Sorbe separately, next to their stands, but...we don't know anything about their name, power or look. The only clue we have about these stands is that both of them worked well together.
I've imagined several times how they could be, but my ideas don't match up at all to these of the author. so I find better not to show them.

Impotenza

La "Squadra di Esecuzioni" estaba formada por nueve asesinos dotados de stand que jamás fracasaban en sus misiones, pero en quienes el "Boss"; el gran líder de "La Passione" no confiaba.
A pesar de su habilidad y eficacia, nunca se les dio la posibilidad de ascender en la escala de poder de la organización ni se les concedió un territorio que les proporcinara beneficios.
Hartos de esta injusticia y con la confianza en sí mismos que les daban sus éxitos en las misiones más difíciles, dos de los miembros de la "Squadra" decidieron que iba siendo hora de traicionar al "Boss", de destapar el secreto de su identidad y derrocarle.
Esos dos osados eran Gelato y Sorbe.
Se nos describen como dos peligrosos psicópatas que solían actuar siempre juntos. Se entendían tan bien que su relación iba más allá de lo profesional y lo amistoso. Eran amantes.
¿Estaría Risotto al corriente de su acto de rebeldía? ¿Lo aprobaría? Si hubieran tenido éxito, Risotto se habría convertido en el nuevo capo de la Passione, así que es de suponer que la decisión de sus hombres le hubiera halagado.

Sin embargo, Gelato y Sorbe fracasaron. Posiblemente descubrieron la identidad del Boss y le vieron la cara. Sin duda llegaron mucho más lejos que nadie... pero no les sirvió de nada y fueron ejecutados de un modo brutal y ejemplar.
Desde ese momento, Risotto y sus seis subordinados cayeron en desgracia. El "Boss" los tendría estrechamente vigilados y sólo les asignaría esporádicamente los trabajos más ingratos.
Todo esto no hizo sino acrecentar la impotencia, el rencor y el deseo de Risotto y los suyos de vengar la pérdida de Gelato y Sorbe y obtener lo que ellos no lograron.
Ahora bien, habría que actuar con mucha cautela, no dar un paso en falso y esperar pacientemente la oportunidad.

The "Squadra di Esecuzioni" was composed by nine assassins and stand users who never failed in their missions.
However the "Boss", the big leader of "La Passione", never trusted them.
In spite of their ability and efficiency, they never got the chance to be promoted and any territory with all the benefits it may provide was never assigned to them. Sick of standing up what they considered unfair and with a self-confidence given by their success in the most risky missions, two Squadra members decided it was high time to betray the Boss: to find out his secret identity and to topple him. These two daring men were Gelato and Sorbe.
They are described as two dangerous psychopath that always worked together. They got along so well, that their relationship went beyond friendship and work. They were lovers.

Did Risotto know about that act of defiance? Did he approve it?
If Sorbe and Gelato had succeeded, Risotto would have become the new "capo" in "La Passione", so I suppose it would have flattered him.
But Gelato and Sorbe failed.
They probably unmasked the Boss and even saw his face, I'm sure they got that far. But all that was useless. They were executed in an awful and exemplary way.

From that moment, Risotto and his six men fell from grace. They were closely watched. Only the most unrewardy and hard missions were given from time to time to them.

As a consequence, Risotto and his men experienced such a powerlessness and hatred that to avenge their dead teammates and to succeed in what they failed became their main target in life.
Anyway, the lesson was learnt. They had to be extremely cautious and wait patienly a chance to take their revenge.
