Full Name: Aquaea Xanatos Hayashimizu
Age: 17
Appearance: Aquaea stands at about five foot six, and is possessed of a slender, light physique. With narrow shoulders, long, thin limbs, a narrow waist, flat stomach, womanly figure, and soft, unblemished skin of a slightly pale hue, she looks more like the damsel in distress than the hero out to save others. Despite this air of gracefulness and serenity, one might notice that she is a bit odd. Her deep blue eyes - brought into stark relief by the smallness of her nose and chin, her soft, pursed pink lips and well kept white teeth concealed behind them, her small ears, and her exotic black-on-white hair - always look slightly distant, and somewhat mournful, as do the rest of her features. Aside from this melancholy air, however, one would be hard pressed to find any emotion at all within the warrior maiden's countenance. Her enigmatic coldness simultaneously repels one and draws them in through curiosity.
Preferred Clothing: Aquaea's usual outfit consists of an almost military-like dress, made up of a white blouse connected to a tight white and blue "skirt" - which can hardly be called such, as it has prominent segments cut out of the sides so as not to hinder movement, whilst not being overly revealing, and is quite short on top of this - beneath a cyan-on-black half-jacket. To compensate for the possible immodesty of her outfit, she wears tall black pantyhose. Her feet are clad in sandals, the color scheme of which matches with the rest of her ensemble.
Role: Female Human
Love Interest: None yet.
Skills: Aquaea possesses a quick mind and a good memory. She is quite skilled at planning things out ahead of time, even in the midst of battle. She also possesses a great deal of strength, speed, and stamina belying her small stature, making her much more formidable in combat than she first appears. She's a remarkably good singer, although she rarely indulges in this hobby, and can cook reasonably well, having had to make food for herself most of her life.
Weapon: Aquaea's weapon of choice is a sword - or, more accurately, the hilt of one. This hilt is that of a simple katana, made from some strange, crystalline blue substance. When she wields it, however, this hilt absorbs water vapor along a certain plane, tightening the hydrogen bonds amongst the molecules, thereby ultracompressing it into a liquid form with properties of a solid. The result is a whip-like blade of an indeterminate length, which is only one molecule thick at all points, but is so dense as to be as tough as metal regardless. The very edge of the blade, then, has its pH lowered to make it an incredibly powerful base, causing it to tear through organic matter like a hot knife through butter. If looked at from the front or back, the blade is actually too thin to be visible, rendering it a very confusing weapon.
This weapon has a few other uses as well. The blade can be wrapped around her legs, then puppeteered to exponentially boost her running speed. She can also form it into a small platform of water which she may hover upon, or create crystallized liquid water - like ice, only not cold - and release it in a projectile shower with her attacks. This crystallized water has its pH raised, causing it to become a powerful acid, and similarly destructive to organic matter. If it comes into contact with the edge of the sword's blade, however, the acid and base will react violently, releasing a tremendous amount of heat in the form of a sudden explosion. Overall, the sword gives Aquaea the ability to control water, and its pH.
Fighting Style: Aquaea favors doing battle from a range, battering her opponent with convoluted strikes of her whip from several directions at once, combined with showers of projectiles to further wear down a target. If her enemy gets within striking range, she will quickly recall her weapon, and then use it to either defend herself precisely or, more often, launch herself out of the way at high speeds, making her a very difficult opponent to take down.
Personality: Aquaea might strike someone immediately upon first meeting as being very cold, cynical, and stoic. She's slow to trust anyone, seems to feel very few emotions, and is fiercely self-reliant and isolated. She hates accepting favors or help from other people, although her overall motivation is to help other people. Her worldview is rather morbid, as she believes that being a hero will reap her no reward, and that the only thing at the end of her struggles is death - something she's not entirely reluctant to accept. While she is usually very patient, if someone gets under her skin, they can expect to be paid back in full with bitingly insulting shots of sarcasm before she once again retreats into herself. Beneath all of this, however, Aquaea is a very kind, vulnerable person. Due to her issues trusting people, she acts as cold and impassive as possible so as to prevent anyone from getting close to her. She is terrified of being betrayed, and as such, distances herself from social interaction as much as possible. Despite this, she believes that she lives only to alleviate the pain of others, and so fights alone no matter what the odds, doing her duty to save Humans even though she might be killed along the way.
Distinguishing Features: Aquaea is most easily recognized by her rather unusual hair - half of which is white, the other half black. Other things one might notice are her bright, deep blue eyes, which are the most prominent feature in her soft face.
Charm Point: Aquaea's main charm point is her rather cute face, her petite nose and chin, soft, pure skin, and prominent eyes combining with her exotic hair to create an enthralling and beautiful countenance. Although she rarely has much of an expression besides mild distaste with a flavor of regret, her rare smiles are truly beautiful.
Likes: Saving people, being loved, peace and quiet, reading books, fighting the demons.
Dislikes: Being betrayed, being alone, being hated.
Fears: Although she accepts it as her fate, she is terrified of dying alone, unloved and unmourned.
History: Aquaea has had a somewhat regrettable history with other people, resulting in her current personality. Her parents were both successful businesspeople, and, as a result, were rarely at home, leaving her alone most of the time. She was always somewhat reserved in nature, and, as a result, didn't make many friends, either. She spent most of her time reading books - specifically, fantasy/romance novels, from which she learned most of her young ideals and derived most of her young dreams. She wanted to be a hero of justice, loved by the people who she would fight her hardest to save, to vanquish evil and live happily ever after. The few times she spoke out about these dreams, she was mercilessly mocked for them, and, as a result, became further withdrawn from others. She wanted a purpose in life above all else, but no matter how much she searched, that was the one thing she could not find. Eventually, she turned to wondering if it was love she was looking for.
For a brief while, she believed that this was really the answer. She soon developed a crush on a seemingly kind boy named Johan. Soon, she brought herself to speak up about her feelings, and was overjoyed to find that they were reciprocated. The two started going out, but not all was as it seemed with Johan. He soon made his move, and pressured Aquaea into going with him to rather dubious gatherings. Their relationship ended almost as soon as it began when Johan, driven wild by excessive underage consumption of illicit liquor, attempted to rape her. She, terrified, attempted to flee, and he tried to stop her. In the ensuing scuffle, Aquaea ended up stabbed through the chest with a knife, and she died. Not even this was the end of her suffering, for then her specter was forced to watch as Johan got off Scott free, and her reputation was ruined, her parents forever convinced that their daughter had been a promiscuous delinquent.
Her old ideals intrigued Jack, who, finding her soul in a state of despair, raised her from this pitiful state and trained her how to fight, then sent her back into the world. Although she can't remember the time she spent learning under him, or her life before that, her ideals have changed somewhat. She knows that she is to fight, and die, for the rest of Humanity, that bonds of trust are made only to be broken, and that at the end of a struggle, there is no reward for heroic acts of self sacrifice.
Thus, her life has no meaning. Her body is nothing but a sword to be wielded against the evils that must be fought, and then discarded...
Uninstall
It came from somewhere beyond the farthest reaches of the world that we know, like a creature of shadow
It came to mock us, for we are so naive that we can't comprehend it,
And truly, we are fragile and small
I cannot hold onto the truth
As it slips right through my fingers like a picture that is made of smoke
I don't know how I will last, because my body is so weak that I may crumble away
Uninstall, uninstall
I was told that I am just a single speck of dust
And cannot be more
But I do not understand or grasp the true meaning
Uninstall, uninstall
I no longer have a choice but to pretend
I am brave
For a soldier has to be brave
Uninstall
Our unseen thoughts have been growing ever sharper, unbeknownst to us, deep within the subconscious
But an incling of what has been occuring is revealed to me as
I hear the restless monsters when I sleep
Now my heart is empty and numb
Save for an unrelenting impulse to destroy all things that I can see
It is born from all of the pain, for I have lost the will to choose the day I'll crumble away
Uninstall, uninstall
If there's noone who can take this burden in my place
Then there's no choice
But to take my simple life and
Uninstall, uninstall
And it makes me want to end it all with my own hands
Is it wrong?
Surely it's alright to want to uninstall.
Uninstall, uninstall
I was told that I am just a single speck of dust
And cannot be more
But I do not understand or grasp the true meaning
Uninstall, uninstall
I no longer have a choice but to pretend
I am brave
For a soldier has to be brave
Uninstall
Other: Nothing I can think of at the moment.
