**Aqua** is one of the original members of the server, joining on June 21st, 2023. Played by Aquahouse\_, Aqua takes the origin of Thornling.

## Appearance

Aqua has pale skin and short black hair. Standing at 4'6, he's taller than most of his server members but still quite short. She wears a short sleeve white dress shirt, a pair of brown pants, brown boots, and a purple cape with a golden trim. Their clothing is torn and messy. In his hair is a purple flower, similar in hue to to his cloak. Its eyes are golden and around him floats various enchantment runes.

After the 12th of October, Aqua wears a white dress shirt, brown pants, and brown boots. He wears a brown cloak over his right shoulder, and underneath the cloak is a purple armband taken from his original cloak. This outfit was given to him by the villagers at The Fort.

## Personality

Aqua is a stoic, kind character who prefers words to fighting. He keeps to himself, but is more than willing to lend a hand or accompany others on long journeys. He's incredibly respectful, often leaning towards honorifics in speech and rarely speaking out against other server members unless he feels it will help diffuse conflict or the member in question has done wrong. When he does accompany others, he can be quite jovial and often tries to lift the group's spirits.

One if the more proactive members of the server, Aqua actively joins explorations to find more info on their strange circumstances. Her primary goal is to keep others safe and to uncover the truth. Aqua seems to believe that he's not very important, and is looking for clues to help the others as opposed to himself. It has a very deep-seated fear of not being enough, going out of its way to protect others even at the cost of its own health.

After Polaris's death, Aqua became very paranoid, constantly doing things either to help others or The Fort. She is very self-blaming, referring to Polaris's death as his fault. Avoidant of others, Aqua spends much more time alone, intentionally leaving if he feels things are growing uncomfortable.

Aqua's hallucinations have become a large part of how Aqua perceives the world, leading to Aqua talking to itself more and more as it responds to and tries to get the hallucinations to leave.

## History

### Post-joining

Aqua woke up with the others, a small distance away. After joining with the others, it followed Nox for a while and joined him in gathering materials and helping Fish. After Nox left, Aqua expressed concern at his leaving, but split off from the others as well to find a place to stay. Later on in the first day, they joined with Shay and the two found a village together, deciding to stay.

On the 26th, Aqua met up with Ren, Pax, Polaris, and later Sin to help wait for turtle eggs to hatch. They showed each other their houses and at Pax's Tree house, the group's joking took a serious turn and Aqua accused Polaris of being a traitor to the group. Polaris and Ren left, and Aqua returned home expressing regret.

Aqua helped with the date night, stopping in for a few minutes then dying. The next morning, he found the gift Polaris left for him. He would spend the next few days grinding in the mines bellow his house and in the nether, making a gift for Polaris. Much of that time was spent at Atlantis, grinding for a trident. Having been unable to get one, Aqua returned home on the 29th, finding an invite from Azalea for a book club to discuss the latest findings.

At the book club, Aqua and Polaris largely avoided each other, and Aqua managed to sneak a netherite backpack onto Polaris' person as an apology gift without her knowing. After discussing the possibility of Aqua spending time with Azalea and Nox, Sin pulled Aqua away and told her not to trust Polaris or any of the Travel Quartet (Polaris, Ren, Viridian, and Fish). Aqua agreed not to, returning to the others and the discussion. The group eventually moved to the Nether to check it out, leaving Fish behind at the ruined portal due to her inability to enter. In the Nether Sin punched Aqua, inflicting wither damage and harming her quite a bit. When prompted why Sin said he didn't trust her, and Polaris left to talk with Sin privately. When they left the Nether, Polaris pulled Aqua aside and apologized formally for the incident. Aqua did the same, and they discussed Sin's latest behavior. Deciding not to trust him, the two decided to keep their latest findings to themselves and to keep playing along with Sin. Shortly after Aqua returned home.

Aqua would later find Fish and Sin at Atlantis, the two hearing Fish speak for the first time. They decided to go exploring.

On October 12th, Aqua would find a gift of a communicator, giving the group collective access to the chat feature. Aqua went to spawn to chat with the others and was found by Polaris and Pax. The group found an underground structure and began to explore, finding several new books of information. After Aqua read from a book, Polaris read from one he found and panicked, fleeing. The others followed, but after they were unable to find him Aqua found Ren at the Travel Quartet area. The two spoke, joined by Shay and Nox The four wandered for a short while before stumbling across a house and the broken down Polaris. Ren would take the broken shell and flee, leaving Aqua, Shay, and Nox in the safe house.

Shortly after Polaris's death on November 22nd, Viridian, Aqua, Pax, and Sin would create a bunker together, customizing the various floors. There, Aqua told the three of them about Polaris's fate, and they would discuss details on what's been happening to them individually. Aqua would later confide in Sin about being anxious about their past. The four decided to make this a safe space for the group, coming back here in times of trouble.

##### Hallucinations

On December 9th, Aqua would find Polaris in the caves underneath the fort. Polaris was visibly broken and despite Aqua being confused about how Polaris was alive and so deep into the caves, he agreed with Polaris. The two headed back to the fort, coming across a distraught Ren and Sin. Both insisted they could not see or hear Polaris, with Ren remarking that Aqua was playing a cruel trick on him. Aqua grew agitated, but Polaris convinced Aqua to leave the two be. They headed to the newly built bunker despite Polaris not being able to have the waystone, however Aqua did not notice and showed Polaris the bunker. They returned to the fort, meeting Sin and Ren again. Aqua would grow increasingly agitated as she tried to convince the two that Polaris was real, but would eventually relent after Sin told Aqua off for his behavior. Polaris would urge Aqua to leave again, and the two would stop at the Travel Quartet. During this, Aqua expressed their worry about Ren, saying Ren must be angry at him to be acting like Polaris didn't exist. Polaris brushed off Aqua's concerns, leading Aqua back to Polaris's safe house. Polaris vanished, and Aqua entered the safe house. "Polaris" then re-appeared, seeming incredibly angry with Aqua and blaming it for his death. He disappeared a final time, and Aqua passed out in the safe house.

After the fallout with Ren, Aqua would start spending time in the nether trying to get a gift for Ren. The two met each other accidentally while Ren was trying to get quartz for Polaris. As Aqua's waystone seemed to have disappeared, the two created an uneasy truce to find a way back to a portal. Aqua continued to see and hear things, leading to a confrontation and the two finally airing out some of their grievances. Finding a bastion, they looted it and continued on until they found a nether fortress. From there they were separated, and Aqua found another bastion and searched it before finally finding Ren. With obsidian they managed to make a portal that led them directly to a village. They used the village's waystone to return to the fort, parting ways there.

On a trip to spawn with Ren, Aqua would run into Viridian, Azalea, Eight, and Sin. After Azalea's long disappearance, Aqua was happy to see her back, having remarked that she'd been to Azalea's house and found it overgrown. As the group talked, Aqua would notice Cryo flying in and out of the area, but was too unsure to bring Cryo up to the group. The others soon noticed, calling to Cryo and asking about the sculk on their body. Cryo brushed their concerns, leading to Aqua growing more anxious and soon leaving, unable to be close to them. Later on, Aqua would find the Island and Cryo's house. Despite the immense presence of sculk, Aqua went in to find Cryo. As Aqua discovered a room covered in sculk, Cryo would arrive. Aqua tried to convince Cryo that the sculk was dangerous, but Cryo brushed Aqua off several times before finally threatening Aqua not to tell anyone else and to leave. Aqua complied, leaving the Island and returning to the Fort in a state of panic.

When Polaris returned, Aqua was one of the first people to find the robot. Aqua started the day by finding Ren and Azalea. The trio would discuss Azalea's lack of defenses before chatting with Sin and Pax. Nox and Shay would soon arrived, and after finding Polaris Aqua would bounce from area to area, seeming erratic. Nox managed to get Aqua to calm down, getting him to tell him about the hallucinations. Nox showed Aqua to his lab, doing a check-up on her and saying the hallucinations were from a lack of sleep and stress. Unconvinced, Aqua returned back to the Fort to talk to Polaris. Aqua was incredibly erratic during this conversation, asking Polaris if he was real and begging Polaris not to leave when Polaris suggested leaving Aqua alone. Polaris would soon slip away after Sin came into earshot, leaving Aqua to bounce from group to group. Soon, Aqua would see glimpses of Cryo, but the bird refused to interact with Aqua. Aqua would end the day after updating his journal, deciding to go mining.

A few days after Polaris's return, Aqua would head to the Travel Quartet area to give an apology gift for Ren. Overhearing them, she assumed they were leaving and quickly left the gift at Ren's door, heading back to the Fort despite them calling out to them. The pair found Aqua at the Fort and Aqua would chat with Ren privately, thanking him for helping her. When it acted like it's actions were unimportant, Aqua quickly excused himself, heading further into the Fort and finding Polaris. Aqua chatted with Polaris, helping her get a cow out of the small fence around the Fort before Ren arrived. The two left, leading Aqua alone at the Fort. It later asked if they needed any supplies, bringing coconuts when Ren replied that they needed some. The three would spend some time at the Travel Quartet area, making snacks and chatting. There was a small amount of tension, which rapidly grew as Sin came to the area, throwing things to them and calling Aqua and Polaris out for their lies. Aqua watched as Ren killed Sin, fleeing. She managed to get in touch with Ren, telling Polaris where to meet him despite not knowing itself. It then returned to the Fort, expressing disappointment at their perceived last meeting being such a mess. Days later, Aqua would be visited by Ren at the Fort, asking for the clipboard notes found in the latest structure. Aqua gave them over, and the two were able to talk for a moment about Sin and Ren. Ren gave Aqua a totem, telling them he trusted them before leaving.
