Aqua Dawnstone is the goddess of water and the fabrics of time and space. She is the former captain of the old Seakeepers and is currently the curator of the famous Araneaborn Gallery museum. Being a part of the God Tiers, her role is that of divinity to many but she has many flaws that don't make her perfect. She specialises in bending the water itself by creating the very seas itself and using it offensive in a method similar to casting spells. She's best at fighting while alongside Chikyū, Fuego and Vincent. Since they are all linked to the One.

## **Appearance**

Aqua is a very tall elven-stylised dragon. In terms of using human skin colours, unlike Chikyū and Vincent, her skin is dark but still features scales near her whole body if she was exposed but normally it's seen on her forehead, hands and legs. She has two working eyes despite wearing a eye patch. Her exposed left eye is yellow and is unusual, as if she constantly has stars in her eye. However her right eye is another story. It's a completely dark blue and disturbing to look at. Since it will ruin her friendly image to mortals, she has it covered with a eye patch that features the Seakeeper's logo written in gold. Finally, she has a singular horn that resembles a unicorn's horn and her long, almost literal, wavey hair is a deep blue with much lighter blue highlights that is meant to resemble the white tips of a wave.

Her usual outfit is a tidy and friendly looking work outfit with a blue galaxy theme. On her light blue collar, she has a lotus flower just below her chin. On her shirt, she has her araneaborn gallery name tag which features the logo, her first name and her role as the curator. She wears light blue gloves and a matching galaxy themed skirt that features the roman numerals of the numbers that goes up to 12, referring to a clock's minute options. Finally she wears dark teal fishnets and black ballet shoes.

## **Personality**

Aqua is shown to be very friendly but that's mostly from her appearance. She is factually a workaholic, meaning she is extremely dedicated to her job as the curator of the Araneaborn Gallery and even her minor astrology job. She is very tidy, shown when she displays relics for the gallery and it led to people questioning if she is working too much and possibly needs a break. She does take breaks but very rarely and as a result, she looks tired; having bangs under her eyes and sometimes drifting to sleep only to wake herself up. Regardless, she is dedicated to work the best she can for the benefit of the world she now lives in and is shown to be mild-mannered and reserved.

She speaks in using a stereotypical British tone and using terms like "cheerio" and "ruffian". This mostly shows that she is well acquainted with the mortal world's customs, regardless if some see it as stereotypical. She once spoke like a pirate, similar to Kyin, but after leaving the seakeepers, she chose to use her British tone as a way to start anew.

The one thing Aqua hates is being called a witch. Mostly because of the way she uses her offensive water and ice attacks being similar to casting witchcraft. While some argue she could be a witch, nowadays, the term is rarely used nowaways due to it's negative impact but there are some that accept the term like Blair. For Aqua, she views herself as someone who is friendly, someone who people can trust. So being referred to as a witch kind of ruins the image she wants to show. Which shows she can be dedicated, not only to her jobs, but to her image. Something the other dragon gods are very aware of.

When it comes to conflict, Aqua is a warrior of justice. Seeing combat as a trial that she has to defend herself. Resulting in her being the armour of the One, as her defensive fighting style and sense of defending herself and others proved this point forwards. This also results in her weakness of having self doubt when she works too hard, combat or not. She worries she will overdue things and it causes her to be overly dramatic. But like the other dragon gods, the mortal world continues to amaze her and she becomes more positive in nature.

### **Might of the Aether**

Being a dragon, she is a godlike figure. So that means that she is immortal and beyond powerful. She does have traits of a dragon like a fire breath and flight but she prefers to fight in her own way.

### **Divine Waterbending**

Aqua's waterbending is beyond powerful and elegant. Something that cannot be matched by mortals. But it does have a dark twist.

* **Illuminating Dew:** Healing water that seems to cure wounds almost instantly. It's more effective on sea creatures.
* **Water of the Deep:** Water she controls mostly through sight. It seems to be used mainly for defence, as it reacts to a enemy's attack by creating a shield or by creating a invulnerable armour set onto Aqua. Offensively, they act like waves of water that she casually moves or blasts around her, almost as if the water is sentient. The one drawback is that if she is blinded, she is unable to direct the water where she wants it to.
* **Freeze:** Aqua can manually freeze water by changing it's temperature. Which means she can mainly make structures by using her water and freezing them. However, unlike Chikyū's structure, they are not exactly perfect and can be destroyed easily. But she can do things like splashing opponents and then freezing them. Or create a ball of ice that spits out icicles.
	+ **Ice Blade of the Deep:** A blade that Aqua created herself using water shaped as a blade that she froze. It serves as a replacement for her Blade of the Dragon's Tongue. She's as effective using it as a skilled sword user.

* **Forbidden Blood:** The art of controlling blood is forbidden to many waterbending and the one to prove how dangerous it can be is through Aqua. When her disturbing right eye is exposed, she is able to do everything she can do to water and apply it to her enemy's blood. Meaning she can control her enemies like a puppet, cause the blood within them to freeze, resulting in them becoming stiff and probably the most gruesome part, she is able to cause the blood within them to burst, completely blowing her foes up into a bloody mess. The last part is something she only showed once but she does use the others to disable her opponents briefly since she will completely lose herself if she does this for much longer.
* **Black Whirlpool:** A powerful attack she uses that combines her spatial powers with her waterbending. It involves the removal of her eye patch and the water around her will turn into a powerful vacuum of water that completely injures those who are sucked in, acting like a black hole. She uses this attack as a way to create a mixer for the other dragon gods. Fuego can turn it into a boiling hot water whirlpool, Vincent causes it to enlarge it into more of a deadly water tornado and Chikyū adds rocks to it, causing it to pile up into nothing but a blender of rocks.

### **Space-Time Manipulation**

Aqua's godly ability to completely manipulate time and space. Meaning she can cause things to be affected by gravity, she can slow, pause or rewind time for only a couple of seconds and she can freely move from dimension to dimension without any external needs.

* **Delayed Reaction:** Aqua is permanently 3 seconds ahead of everything. Meaning that most people sound deeper and slower in tone to her. This mostly means she is very fast compared to others and could also mean she can directly see Alex, Ander or Scarab when they are going in full speed.
* **Alterrarge:** A dragon's main ability of seeing into the past and future. Aqua's version is "by-will" as she describes it. So instead of just touching something to see into it's past or future, she can just simply do this normally without any requirements. Her version is also categorised as part of her Space-Time powers because it seems to be in relation to the concept of time to her more than the other dragon gods.

### **Blade of the Dragon's Tongue**

A longsword Aqua once used during her time as a Seakeeper and was eventually given to Huella. She is a reasonably talented sword user and would use her after-mentioned ice blade as a replacement. And like the Ice Blade, she uses it as a way of justice. Something that Huella would do when she became this sword's new wielder.

### **Aether Resonation**

A link that the dragon god's have with the one. If they are teamed up, they notably gain perks. Like gaining relics of the one. Aqua needs to resonate to make her protective armour property, via her water, stronger.

### **Ascension: The One Above Us All**

The dragon god's combined ascension where they create a projection of the one in the form of a huge warrior. The warrior has different colours around them to represent the relics of the one. Aqua's water armour represents the Amour of the One, that the projection uses. This serves as a second layer of defense alongside Chikyū's shield. It's believed that this projection is supposed to represent what the one actually looks like but this is untrue, as the one doesn't have a physical form.

## **Biography**

### **Backstory**

As of the beginning of time era, Aqua was born when the prime universe was created. Which was the result of a egg that hatched into the galaxy. Growing up, Aqua was a tricky person to deal with and was born with a disturbing birth defect that causes her right eye to have this disturbing void texture that would causes deadly vortexes and sometimes cause her blood to stiffen, only to loosen eventually when she passes out. It became so apparent that Chikyū gave Aqua a eye patch to conceal her once uncontrollable powers. It worked surprisingly and she pretty much wore this eye patch most of her life until it was replaced with another during her time as a Seakeeper.

One day, Chikyū came up with the idea of creating a whole new world for everyone to live in. Everyone was sceptical at first, mainly The Grimdark. But the One saw this as a start to creating a chapter for mortals. Chikyū ended up creating earth and many other planets and when the time was right, she and 4 other dragon gods would finally roam the unfamiliar realm. Aqua said she wanted more so she ended up creating different planets by using Chikyū's world as a basis while also further developing the main planet itself by giving it flowing seas and giving it the concept of time and gravity. She was also amazed with the vacuum of space that houses these planets so she became the first ever astrologist, leading to her almost addictive tendency to work, days on end, rarely taking a break.

Time passed and Aqua felt a disturbance. It was The Grimdark and after leaving to go back to godly realm, he corrupted himself and turned into a pitch black monster, resulting in the start of the monstrous beings known as the Grimdark Spawns. Aqua knew she couldn't interfere with mortal affairs due to being a goddess so Chikyū came up with a plan to recruit Terios Nightingale as one of the three original heroes destined to stop The Grimdark. After years of preparation, things turn bad when Terios fought against The Grimdark. Resulting in Terios winning the war but he would make the mistake of touching the staff meant to seal The Grimdark away, corrupting him and turning him into the new threat of Wowtopia.

Aqua would create a safe haven for sea creatures via the Liquid Depths, she would notice one.. or rather two. A young axolotl/frog hybrid named Gregory, who is carrying a egg with him. Aqua felt a weird power resonating within that egg and her suspicions became more obvious when Gregory would go on a journey to stop Terios alongside the newly formed Guardians. Months passed and Aqua would sense Chikyū's presence of storming into mortal affairs after Terios continuously kidnap the guardians one by one. She wanted to help but she knew this would disobey the one so she focused on protecting her people of the Liquid Depths.

Not much was heard from Aqua since then until after the Guardians' 10 year break. She would become the captain of the new line of pirates named the Seakeepers and would go on expeditions around Wowtopia and occasionally run into Pyro, who gave her the idea of creating a museum to display the relics she finds. With the help of Diesel and retiring from her captain duties for the seakeepers, she creates the Araneaborn Gallery in the Northern Land of Concept but she needed help in further developing it. For now though, she would also give advice to Chikyū about Ace's sudden abilities to use the four main elements and eventually training him to use his waterbending more effectively. Aqua was suddenly met with the recent incident that resulted in the Calamity War. It's where she learnt of the multiple outcomes of how this all ends, resulting in the creation of alternate and even entirely new timelines. She created her own realm just to look over them and she made sure that the outcome she wanted was the one where Ace would defeat Frewil, ending the Calamity War. She did get what she wanted but that was purely out of luck.

Even though things went badly during the war, Aqua was relieved it was this outcome because she saw what the others were like and felt worried. Her journey after this point was her looking over the timeline and eventually meeting Huella Nightingale, who would become Aqua's dragonkin and would also help in further developing the Araneaborn Gallery. After the events of Huella's fight in the Godly realm, Aqua would make some minor help in the Bloodstained Era, where she would tell everyone about why Dare exists but not understanding her true motives. But finally, after that, Aqua wouldn't make any big impacts besides assisting Huella in the museum, helping Tangerine and Mirai grow up and overall just being the overseer of the different timelines. Though there might be a time where she will intervene with the current events..

## **Relationships**

### **Vincent, Fuego and Chikyū**

Aqua sees the other three dragons as her siblings, arguably the same towards The Grimdark. This led to their resonation with the one, making them stronger if they ever teamed up. Although they are mostly separated, they never seem to leave each others side when it comes to godly situations.

### **The Grimdark**

As previously stated and even after everything he's done, Aqua still sees The Grimdark as a sibling. She states she could of gone the same path as him if she didn't know how to control her void eye. She especially knows this thanks to knowing different outcomes in her timeline but even after every outcome, The Grimdark is always her enemy and she wonders why this is the case. The answer doesn't seem to exist, especially when The Grimdark destroys those outcomes outright.

### **The One**

Being part of the God Tiers, Aqua is forever tied to the one. She is thankful that they forgive her for action involving her void eye and will do everything to make the world safe for their sake.

### **Ace Shoryu**

Aqua trained Ace to master his waterbending but that was really it. She didn't like how rough he can be, which resulted in him failing the most out of all the dragon gods that mentored him. Arguably, he's the reason why she didn't want to find someone and have a child but that's mostly a rumour.

### **Huella Nightingale**

Huella is Aqua's dragonkin, third of the chosen heroes to defeat the grimdark but failed miserably, leaving only Huella. She shares Aqua's compassion to go on expeditions and it resulted in her being the main benefactor to developing the Araneaborn Gallery. Aqua became this mentor to Huella who would give her advice and such but even then, she shows this behaviour towards Mirai.

### **Tangerine Gonzalo**

Not much to say besides Aqua briefly raising Tangerine after she was found in the void dimension. Unlike Mirai, she took less time to be raised. She still thinks she's interesting though, with how she can control the chrono cubes and such. But as long as she doesn't mess with the prime timeline, Aqua and her are on good terms.

### **Mirai/Maxine Nightingale**

Mirai was raised primarily by Huella but Aqua noticed she was strange. She had that weird energy within her as a egg and she was interested in her. Aqua, regrettably, had to take Mirai away from Huella because her potential was left dormant and she was willing to help in developing it, especially because she's a female deepgill. It took time for Mirai to get over losing Huella for years but after a certain incident, Mirai's memories got wiped by Aqua because it was the only way to save her after she unleashed her potential. Resulted in her becoming a blank slate that slowly developed and would eventually return back to the prime universe. Aqua regrets her decisions but she had to help Mirai the best she can.

### **The Seakeepers**

Aqua was the one who started the Seakeeper Pirates since day one. Though back then, they were merely honourable treasure hunters who would do the most craziest of things like fighting a kraken. Aqua's opinions of the current day seakeepers are very negative. And it was all because of Captain Archel Dagger, who turned the seakeepers into rogue bandits that would do anything to get riches and claim what was rightfully theirs. She met his son, Kyin, during the bloodstained era but this was before he became the new captain. She was the one who predicted his actions in the future and while everyone didn't believe him, Huella did and when it did happen, Aqua promised that she does not want to be associated with the current era of Seakeepers despite her new eye patch stating otherwise. Regardless, the Seakeepers still worship her as the "Goddess of Victory". Referencing her triumphant victory against the great kraken during the late guardian era.

## **Trivia**

* Aqua's name is simply given due to her alignment with the concept of water. Her last name, Dawnstone, is also made up on the spot. Though "dawn" can be referred to the time frame of the daily cycle, also referring to her involvement with time.
	+ Her last name was originally "Hydrolysis" when she started as a DND character. Which references the compound breakdown used by water. This was changed due to making things simpler with her namesake.
* Like many others, Aqua made her beginnings as a Dungeons and Dragons character. She was of the Fallen race and she didn't really make any impact on the session. Regardless, her design was great enough to be redesigned and repurposed in Wowlife as one of the 5 gods.
* Her likes consist of:
	+ Coffee
	+ Mashed Potatoes
	+ Chicken Curry
	+ Shiny things
	+ Her jobs
* Her dislikes consist of:
	+ Cucumbers
	+ Being referred to as a witch
	+ Slacking
	+ The current era of Seakeepers
* Her hair is mostly inspired by the waves seen in the famous Great Waves painting.
* The Araneaborn Gallery is based on the popular Skyrim mod "Legacy of the Dragonborn" and it's own Dragonborn Gallery. With Aqua resembling the character, Auryen Morellus.
	+ Since the Last Dragonborn is Huella in Con Air's playthroughs of Skyrim, it is also the reason why Huella and Aqua have this kind of relationship of developing a museum in Wowlife while trying to keep things more original like Huella being mostly alone in her adventures of obtaining relics instead of also having a team to help with her relic seeking endeavours.
