Origin: Dave's mother died during childbirth and his father, an olympic swimming silver medalist had just started to lose some of his youthful promise. He was slowing down and he knew it he had know Idea what he was going to do, he had gotten so close to that gold medal just for it to slip away. then when dave was three he brought him along to his swim practice. while he wasn't looking Dave accidentally stumbled to the pool. his dad paniced and swam over to find that Dave was perfectly fine, infact he was swimming. His dad had it, he couldn't win the medal, but Dave could, he had never seen anyone learn to swim in 2 seconds flat.

     he proceded to train his son round the clock he even became a coach at his school to make him train through lunch and recess. at age 8 dave shattered the youth national swimming tournament and was invited to bejing for the world youth swiming tournament. Dave's Dad was so happy, but dave was just plain sick of it. he ran away from his father during the tournament. Dave slipped while on a bridge. He got pulled underwater by the strong current, and no matter how hard he tryed he could grab onto anything. 3 hours later Dave surfaced and got to the river bank. he looked back at the water and wondered how he justed survived that. then he saw that all the way up the river were jaggade rocks, but he was perfectly fine. confused and tired he decided to take a nap.

     he awoke when a boy about his again poked him in the head. The boy asked what he was doing out here. Dave explained how he ran from his dad and got swept away then suface perfectly fine. The Boy Brought Dave to a temple deep in the forest. There Dave met a man name Chuy Lee, the Grand Nature, who explained that he was Destined to become a hero Called a Nature who would keep the world in Balance. Dave figure this would be a good play to crash and forget his dad so he accepted. He was to be the nature of Water. As he trained Dave started to realize his powers that saved his life. his body was able to move as quick and strong as a might rapid, but that isn't what saved him. He can also change his body structure from a solid to a liquid. under the circustances he changed himself into water and didn't need to breath and could flow around the rocks.

     Soon after he started training a mysterious girl, named Sophie Illun, wandered into the temple one day. She claimed that she got stuck in a box in a plain from brazil and flew to china. Dave Thought there was somthing wrong with her in the head, but the boy who brought him to the temple, who was now called Dusk Theif, Laughed til he fell on his butt. Their master claimed that she was destined to become another nature. After Dusk Thief had finish his training he became th leader of the New Natures that were to be. As Dusk Thief neared the end of his training him and Dave bonded after speding a year with only eachother to entertain themselves. Dave talked about if he had Dusk around back in England then maybe he could have dealt with his dad., Almost like a brother. Dusk thief said he also had tough times that a brother could have helped him with. It was then that the two sworn that they would be brothers for life. Soon after Dusk Thief left the temple and returned with a bulky boy name Daemon Barstun, who would become the nature of Earth

      as the 3 boys and 1 girl turned 10 Dusk Thief was ordered to go and recruit the other natures now that they were starting to manifest. Dusk Thief returned to America to recuit another nature. while he was away Dave quickly became Aqua Devil after finishing his training and due to Dusk Thief's extended absence Dave volunteered to take up the search and substitude as the leader of the Natures. The Master agreed and Dave set out for Raykjavik, Iceland. he was told the general area so he simple had to find someone his age in the city. after a day or two of searching he found her, a girl named Frieda Glaceis. He saw that she was basically a mini goth with a bad attitude so he trick her parents into thinking that he was a student at a very imortant reform school in china. They agreed and shipped her off with Dave. She didn't seem to care. She was destined to become the Nature of Ice.

     With still no sign of Dusk Thief Dave was again sent out to recruit this time from the Netherlands. The recruit apparently wasn't near any civilization. after searching the plains for a short tim he found a young boy staring at the skill. Dave abruptly approached himand the boy just wrote him off. Dave got agitated it seemed like the more serious he was the more the boy didn't care. Dave lost his cool and the two got into a scuffle. Dave quickly knocked the boy out and brought him to the temple. this boy, Gary Blewins, was destined to become  the nature of Wind. By the time he came back Sophie and Daemon had becom Shining Idol and Earth Demon.

     Soon after Dusk Thief Finally returned asking to speak with Their master, He wouldn't say why. Dave was concerned for his brother. He noticed that he was much more motivated to recruit the next nature than before. Over the years he had tried to gain power. to see his brother with such a fire in his eyes made him a bit jealous. after another year he stumbled into a room and saw Dusk take on 4 of the natures single handedly and hold his own. Dave couldn't believe it. He started training for the next year. Dusk resumed as the recuiter for the Natures bringin in a french girl to be the Nature of fire.

     when they were 14 Dusk thief managed to get back to the top of the natures... again, eventhough he kept coming and going from america. After Devil had worked so hard for that position. He confronted his brother asking what he was doing in america, It was clear to him that the sorce of his new power came from there. Unable to continue his lying forever, Dusk Thief revealed that upon returning to america 4 years ago he found his Poor mother had found a husband and had mad a new family.  After an on job accident, Dusk had been forced to fill his step-fathers role as bread earner and that master was helping. Dave was Insulted. those many years ago they swore they were the only brothers they would ever need and now he abandoned him for a new family. Josh said that he had to he couldn't just forget about them. That concept was lost on Dave as he abandoned family long ago. The 2 brothers fought and in the end Dusk Thief left the temple swearing to never return. Following his example the natures of Wind, light, and Ice left as well and only Dave, the new Flame Fox, and Earth Demon were left at the temple.

     around a year later a mysterious teenager arrived at the templeand demanded to speak with Chuy Lee. He managed to defeat Dave and the other 2 natures and become the new Lightning Warrior in under a month. Dave had never seen anyone that skilled since Dusk thief. Shortly after Chuy Lee ordered the natures to go to America and follow this Danger Dude as the new Leader of the Natures. While in America Aqua Devil reencountered Dusk thief who now was just Dusk. He also started to see that his Serious, calm, and cool Demeaner was being overcome by a bloodlusting rage. In the end the team up between Dusk and Danger dude proved able to overcome mountains. In the presence of these 2 power houses Dave resolved to go back to the temple and train to overcome these new angry feelings he was having.

Identity Known to: The Natures, Justice Boy, and Zoomanoid.

Personality: Dave has always had a tough exterior. he keeps calma and cool in battle like a smooth flowing river. however whenever he is in the presence of Dusk or other darkness based People a berserking Anger over comes him. afterward he looks at himself for when he sees himself at his worse he sees the darkness in him and it brings up an entire lifetime of hatred for his father, his weakness, and for his Brother Dusk abandoning him. in this state of instablity he feels unnatural. But this is just his personality reflecting the anger and calamity of a viloent rapid.

Powers: Aqua Devil can move and hit as hard and fast as a rapid making him move and hit much stronger than a normal human. he can also Change his entire body into pure water and still able to reassble his body into it's solid form. after much training Aqua devil has become a master of the chain Sickle.

Equipment: Aqua Devil use to wear a blue horned mask, a flowing Blue scarf and hood, a blue Chest Plate, blue Chain Pants in the linen, and a long sleeve blue shirt. for a weapon he uses a Sickle attach to a chain with a weighted ball on the other end. He has since lost the old armor, but kept the weapon. He now has a black leather jacket with a cut and folded off right sleeve and a left shoulder plate to wrap his chain on the clip, a sash on his pants, and a sleeveless turtle neck with a slit that extends to his ear and wraps the rest of his face while his hair covers the other part.

Fighting Strategy: Devil will try to handle a fight quickly and effectivly. If his anger gets the best of him he will go on a rampage and it is at that moment he slips up the most, but when he's in that moment he is willing to kill. which in the end will just make him more unstable. he uses his water form to escape dangerous attacks but for offense he depends a lot on his speed and accuracy using his weapon at range. when enraged, he grips the sickle at its base and uses more of his strengeth than accuracy, but he still uses his speed then.

Weaknesses: Aqua Devil has misgivings about power thinking that by simple hunting after mor power by any means he will be strong. His Anger though makes him sloppy and being a perfectionist makes him even angrier. Keep this going and he will destroy himself as he fights. just don't let him make a fatal blow when he is enraged.

Creator's notes: I made Aqua Devil to be a parallel to Dusk while I was filling the roles for the natures. At fires he was to be simply a calm cool tactition of a hero, But then I got the Idea to make him go down a self-Destructive path of anger and Power trying to overcome his own misgivings while refusing to let anyone in. The eventual betrayal I can use for that has many options I can use down the line. 

Rights: I retain the Right to Aqua Devil's Stroy, Likeness, and Name. If you wish to use him in a comic go right ahead, but he can be a difficult character to transfer if you don't know him well. his feelings are complex, but if applied effectively can become quite entertaing for a story. how that could relate to a comic not involving the natures, however, It may not work that well.
