Personalilty
:
Aqua Blade is a harsh pony. Due to the events he has witnessed over the course of his life, his gaze has hardened to a very cold and uncaring glare, as well as developing a short and nasty temper. He generally means well, but is quite blunt with his statements, usually coming off as condescending and jerkish. He has developed a bitter hatred of the Griffin race; he will mercilessly cut one down that opposes him, as well as anyone who sides with them, although he is a bit more hesitant towards ponies. His most sacred treasure, even more than his sword, is his brother’s bandana that he wears and protects it with everything in him. Aqua speaks with an air of venom. He will follow orders he receives usually without question, but will speak up when he sees a severe problem with it; this usually consists of him not getting any action. He despises cowardice and will see a fight he is currently engaged in through to the end, even at the cost of his life. He is foolhardy at times and will charge into the thick of battle even when the odds are against it, but he isn’t stupid enough to try a suicide attempt; if there is no guarantee that he could win, he’ll retreat. He is not afraid to speak his mind and will harshly criticize others for mistakes.
History
:
Aqua Blade was born and raised in Trottingham; he had two caring and loving parents as well as a younger brother whom he cared deeply for. Aqua comes from a family of skilled swordsponies who taught their eldest son the way of the blade. When he was the tender age of five, Aqua started learning swordplay. He earned his cutie mark at the age of ten when he fended off a Manticore single-handedly. By the time he was 12, he had learned most of his father’s techniques; at this point, his father decided he was ready to acquire his own blade. They went to Aqua’s grandfather, a skilled unicorn steel smith, in Las Pegasus to forge a sword that would suit Aqua well. What came to be was Akuaburēdo, a black bladed katana with a sea green wave pattern in the blade, sheathed in a cobalt hilt. It has special properties that enable it to move and cut water. While learning new technique with his new sword, four years later, the Griffin invasion of Canterlot commenced. Aqua wanted to go and help fight, but his parents insisted that he stay in Trottingham, not because he wasn’t skilled, but because he was only 16 and he also meant the world to his 10 year old brother. Nine months later, the terrible Shelling of Trottingham occurred and the most horrific thing could happen to Aqua; his parents were killed in the shelling and while he and his brother were trying to escape, his brother was picked off by a Griffin and started getting eaten alive. Aqua managed to kill the Griffin, but not before the bloodthirsty creature had dealt a mortal wound to his brother. A few years earlier, Aqua had gotten his brother a black bandana with his name (Ocean Storm) stitched in royal blue lettering that he treasured and wore every day. As a dying wish and a reminder to why he fights, Aqua continues to wear that bandana to this day. Aqua managed to make it to Las Pegasus to his grandfather’s house. He lived there for several years, physically toning his body, but when the Griffins invaded, Aqua was forced to flee; not because he was cowardly, as he is far from it, but attempting to fight back would’ve been suicide, especially with morale so low after the loss of Stalliongrad. Aqua’s grandfather had passed away peacefully about a week before Aqua left, which meant that he had no reason to stay in the city. However, similar to his brother, Aqua took a dying wish from his grandfather, promising to return Equestria to the peaceful nation they missed and loved. Becoming a traveling swordspony, Aqua has been striking the Griffins where he can. When he heard of a resistance movement in Manehattan, he decided to head over there, seeing how he would do more damage in a team than staying solo.
