Personality: On an average day Guido Mista is relatively laid back and seeks out the simple pleasures in life; he wants to enjoy things on a rather basic level. He wants things to be uncomplicated; to enjoy pretty girls, food and just live his best life. When he’s not out fighting for what’s right, he seems to like reading magazines and books but doesn’t like to be distracted while doing so. When he’s calm, he’s calm and from the outside that makes it look like he’s truly dim-witted when there’s really a lot going on underneath that blank expression. It’s just part of his nature, that part of him that still wants to live the life with few complications that he had before joining the gang. That boy is still in there, it’s just under layers of violent defiance.
He’s not quite as serious as the rest of the gang and is by far one of the more sociable of the group, but sociable doesn’t always equate to being polite. He’ll bring up strange conversations out of nowhere, often times things that just seem random or possibly inappropriate (e.g. wondering whether someone’s diet has an impact on how their own meat would taste in the event of cannibalism, thinking about vegetarians wearing leather). While he gets along with his teammates on a regular basis, that doesn’t stop him from being rude or mildly disrespectful to them in addition to strangers. If something irritates him he doesn’t always outright say it, instead opting for more silent or stealthy methods of dealing with his issues like sabotaging Narancia’s stereo. He’s not above making fun of his enemies if he’s doing well in battle or even a small one on one issue and he doesn’t have an issue when it comes to keeping his language unfiltered; nothing is too bold for him to say. He is absolutely and un-apologetically rude in some cases, including situations that could lead to violence.
Mista has no problem readily committing acts of violence, whether they be to further the goals of the gang or his own selfish agenda. He doesn’t have a problem picking petty or childish fights with people over even the simplest things, so it’s best not to insult anything that he likes unless you want to be kicked repeatedly. His violent tendencies aren’t all outward rage and posturing, if it means completing an objective for the gang he’s more than willing to engage in torture or murder if it gets them the answers or the outcome that they’re looking for. His approach in these cases is rather cool and casual to an almost disturbing degree, treating the situation as if it means nothing makes him seem all the more formidable for the person on the receiving end. This attitude seems to deeply contrast his actions while engaged in such behaviour, no one should be so calm when it comes to this manner of ‘taking care of business’.
His cool resolve is helpful, though, especially when it comes to entering battle. There’s an air about him in heated situations that says he’s very confident in his abilities, though sometimes that confidence borders on being flat out cocky. Once he’s in a dangerous situation there’s hardly a trace of that nonchalance that he carries with him the rest of the time; it’s replaced by steely resolve and an unquestionable intent to win no matter what. While he’s able to maintain his cool under most circumstances, it does leave some room for him to become reckless when things don’t go exactly as planned. While he is certainly a talented marksman with excellent control of his abilities both with and without his stand, he’s not immune to rushing into battle or making mistakes; these mistakes are often costly to his physical well-being. You’d think after being shot with his own bullets multiple times he’d be better about his approach and not blindly charge in to go for the immediate kill. He is persistent, though, finding ways to adapt to these situations with tactical insight that he doesn’t outwardly seem capable of. He looks for patterns and weak spots to restore order to a battle and gain the upper hand. Even he has a breaking point though, especially when there is far too much on the line and far too much left that is unknown (such as the ‘final battle’).
Aside from being pushed to the brink via battle, there is a good amount of doubt in Mista’s mind when it comes to superstitions. He suffers from anxiety inducing tetraphobia, the fear of the number 4. He doesn’t like seeing it, he doesn’t like hearing it and he certainly doesn’t like having to confront it in a hands on capacity. He rages and becomes paranoid if there are 4 pieces of cake and visibly sweats or panics if he ends up with 4 bullets left. For him this particular number is almost certainly an omen and there’s no telling what will come if it’s attached to a situation or an object. Even his stand, Sex Pistols, completely removes the number 4 from the lineup, skipping from 3 to 5. He’s shown to have other superstitious beliefs, but doesn’t seem to stress over them nearly as much.
He’s really a good guy on the inside, self-sacrificing in more than a few cases. While he is abrupt and volatile with people, he doesn’t seem to like seeing innocent people being targeted for any reason; it doesn’t matter if it’s someone he knows or not and he’ll go out of his way to avoid putting the uninvolved population in danger. He’s rushed to the aid of a woman that was being beaten by thugs and even put himself through extremes that could have killed him to achieve the desired results for the greater good. He cares deeply for his teammates, going above and beyond for them but especially for Bucciarati and Giorno; both of which he shows a great deal of respect for.

Note: I played here before and if I recall I might have submitted some revisions but I can’t find the link right now. I’m also hoping just to pick up where he left off and keep his initial monster form of Naga.

Anxious: This trait in particular can also go hand in hand with his tendency to be superstitious. While the main focus is on his tetraphobia, there are other moments in canon where he references other superstitions that he expresses concern about but isn't 100% actively scared of. It's not just about his superstitions, however, it's also about those moments where he's sure that his plan was solid and things suddenly take a turn for the worse. While he is very adaptive in the long term it doesn't come without the drawback of being shocked that something hasn't gone exactly the way that he planned. This is usually seen in the way of him freaking out as he's a very expressive and reactionary character. Most of the time he does recover relatively quickly, but it's just as easy for him to let his sense of anxious dread to take over if under the right (or rather in this case, wrong) circumstances.
The Innocent: Mista's perception of who is innocent is a little skewed, but it doesn't meant that it's non-existent. In his eyes even if someone is guilty or under suspicion there's absolutely no reason to hold back. However, in those moments where he's on the outside looking in on particular scenes it's clear that he's upset or disturbed by what's going on around him and what's happening to people. The first example of this would be from his 'origin' story when he comes across a woman being attacked in a car, while there's no reason for him to truly intervene he sees something happening there that is inherently wrong and does something about it, albeit without really thinking about it and it being an instinctive sort of reaction. Another good example of this occurs during the Green Day battle, Mista being visibly upset by the fact that even innocent villagers are being attacked with the enemy stand. He does refer to them as such, appearing to see them as outside parties that are being involved in something for no other reason than 'because they could be'.
In short those that Mista deems worthy of some sort of punishment are not off limits to have their asses kicked (i.e. enemies or even people that talk crap about actors outside of the cinema). If they are bystanders or people that haven't hurt him or his own in any capacity then that is absolutely wrong in his eyes. His heart is in the right place but the way he sees things isn't always what someone else might perceive as just.
