I took like a whole day coming up with the name. It's not the most clever one, but it's the most appropriate I can think of.

1)Basic info 2)Appearance 3)Characteristics Acqua is the daughter of parents who works in the maintenance of the Vale CTT. Once in a while, they bring her along to work to show her the ins and outs of the communications system. In an early age, she showed an advanced understanding of how to operate scrolls, and began to self-study once she was 8.

 * Nicknames: Aq (Friends), The Visionary (Professionally)
 * Occupation: Huntress-in-training, Hacker
 * Aura Colour: Blue
 * Aura Effects: Wet-like effects surrounding her skin
 * Height: 164 cm

 * Combat Outfit: Wears a blue hoodie with a rain motif over a white shirt. A large belt with several Dust cartrige is worn around her waist. She wears a dark blue combat skirt with a slit on the side for ease of movement. Wears a pair of thigh-high boots.
 * Casual Outfit: Same as combat outfit minus the blue hoodie and belt. Replaces combat skirt with normal pants. Shirt design varies from Achieve Men, a recent Spruce Willis movie and an unofficial Schnee Dust Company t-shirt
 * Hacker Outfit: Wears a gray coat over her casual outfit and wears an Omoikane mask with a voice filter.
 * Gadgets: Universal Rewire System (URS) - A homemad hacking tool Acqua made in her hacking days. While outdated, it can still be used against very low-level security locks.
 * Background:

She initially passed it off as a side hobby, as she also wants to become a Huntress, so she enrolled into a combat school and did double duty tinkering around with the appliances at her home.

However, she finds that she's been heavily distracted by the whole tinkering thing and her grades began to plummet. Something that her father saw. Acqua admitted that she's been getting distracted by the things she can do by tinkering around with her scrolls. Once pressed, she finally relents and shows to her parents what she's been doing.

She somehow managed to access the camera system of the city block they're in.

Realizing the risks involved with what she's doing, her father forbid her from doing anymore things to her scroll.

But while she stopped it during her youth, she didn't exactly lose the knowledge she had of somehow hacking her scroll.

She graduated from her combat school with passable ratings in combat, but scored impressively when it came to academics focusing on technology. She went straight to Beacon and enrolled there, becoming a member of Team OCNE (Ocean), acting as the intel and rear guard.

However, the moment she gained another scroll, she can't help but play with it again. With some pushing from her teammates, she commited into learning how to hack stuff.

As a result, from the suggestion of their team leader, she began taking side jobs outside of Beacon as a hacker, specializing in gathering intel as well as stealing information from companies of dubious intent.

She did this under the alias of The Visionary, using the camera system of Vale to interact with her clients. But while it proved profitable, Acqua was not as skilled as she thought, as she didn't mask her presence while hacking, so many came to know the existence of the Visionary.

To twist the knife further, her hacking skills proved to be incredibly useless after the Fall of Vale, as with the loss of the CTT, all connections within Vale ceased and she lost her entire playground.

Additionally, many are now hunting down the Visionary for its actions. Acqua's current state is, to sum it in a few words, FUBAR. Acqua is a fairly reasonable person, if a bit susceptible to peer pressure. While polite, she has a fairly foul mouth and isn't shy from screaming profanity if pushed enough. Her above-average intellect also causes her to look down on stupid questions and doesn't like being asked obvious things, which, to the layman isn't exactly obvious.
 * Personality:

As the Visionary, she takes on a more professional air and talks rather distant, as if the situation doesn't concern her. 4) Trivia: Unnamed Parents - Acqua's parents. While she has a stable relationship with them, they don't exactly like her hobby, out of fear that it may cause her trouble down the line.
 * Likes: Machinery, Difficult Problems, Egg rolls
 * Dislikes: Stupidity, Stupid Questions, Stupid People
 * Notable relationships:

Team OCNE - Acqua's teammates. Seeing that she had extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of technology, they semi-exploited her talents for a quick profit, not knowing the risks it has for her.
 * Notes:
 * Omoikane (思兼 or 思金) refers to the Shinto God of wisdom and intelligence. Acqua wearing a mask of his face is a reference to the fact that Omoikane is often called upon by heavenly deties for counsel, just as Acqua is when it comes to hacking.
 * Character Basis: Loosely based on The Drop of Water by Hans Christian Andersen based on a few things
 * Acqua herself is Kribble-Krabble, except instead of a mage, she's a hacker.


 * Her extensive usage of the camera systems of Vale is her "magnifying glass" to the "drop of water"


 * Her shenanigans in hacking have caused her to gain the same fate as some of the people seen within the "drop of water"

I) Weapons
 * Name: Chiarezza Arcobaleno (Clarity Rainbow)
 * Wielder: Acqua Cristallo
 * Maker/Smith: Acqua Cristallo
 * Type: Multi-Shot Terminal Gun
 * Weapon Derivation: Laptop, Missile System
 * Design: Acqua's symbol can be seen on the back of the laptop component
 * Holstered/Inactive Form: A normal-looking custom laptop, with a large gun component separate from it.
 * Form 1: The gun component splits into four cannons and merges with the laptop to form a missile terminal.
 * Form 2: The cannons rotate sideways, allowing a wider range of fire.
 * Dust Capacity: Can use every Dust type, but only one type per cannon.
 * Ammunition: Compact homing missiles empowered by Dust.
 * Usage: Inactive, the gun component can be used as a bludgeon that explodes on contact, but it is not a very efficient way of using it.

Transformed, it becomes a large console with six buttons which can be used to fire-off the cannons.

Acqua is rooted in place as the terminal needs to be firmly rooted due to the sheer recoil of its shots. She acts as a humanoid sentry gun. However, if the situation calls for it, she can set the weapon into autofire mode, but will still have to reload it manually.

Each cannon has around six shots before it requires manual reloading.

II) Semblance III) Combat Info
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: More guns
 * Notes:
 * Blatantly inspired by the Pandora from DMC4, as I've been playing it lately, and it just so happens to suit Acqua.
 * This weapon is the reason why Acqua scored incredibly high in her technological academics.
 * Name: Watertouch
 * User(s): Acqua Cristallo
 * Type: Aural
 * Purpose: Utility
 * Short description: Allows minor manipulation of water.
 * Activation cue: The sound of splashing can be heard around user's presence.
 * Range: Medium
 * General limitations: Requires a body of water to be present. Cannot be used if user is thirsty.
 * Passive ability: Creates a small water barrier around user.
 * Active ability: Tier One: Throw a drop of water to enemy at high speeds. Ineffective except against bare skin.
 * Active ability: Tier Two: Create a whip-like weapon to attack with.
 * Dust interaction (Ice): Allows temporary manipulation of ice.
 * Dust interaction (Fire): Turns most usage of semblance into a superheated smoke.
 * Dust interaction (Wind): With proper training, enhances semblance to allow minor weather manipulation.
 * Dust interaction (Lightning): Generates electricity on all bodies of water user touches. Dangerous so not used.
 * Notes:
 * Acqua discovered her semblance after the creation of her weapon, which is why both are incompatible in usage.
 * Thanks to her hobby, she doesn't bother to train her semblance further for fear that it'll cause everything she's hacking to short circuit.
 * While mostly inspired by Waterbending from Avatar, the elemental combinations was the only thing I can think of on-the-fly to keep it fresh enough.
 * Class/Position: Sniper, Rear Guard
 * Landing strategy: Utilizes her semblance alongside a water pouch and an ice Dust to create an ice slide to slide down to solid ground.
 * Fighting Style: Acqua is not very resilient, as she has a very weak aura aptitude and her general combat performance is subpar.

She compensates by having a devastating weapon, being the secret weapon of Team OCNE. She generally holds from using her weapon, relying on getting as far away as possible from the battle until she gains a vantage point. Once safe and clear, she deploys her weapon and rains destruction upon her enemies.

If someone closes in, she can switch her weapon into automatic fire and deal with the assailant using her semblance to fend them away until she can holster her weapon again and move to a different spot.

This makes her useful in very informal battles, but very useless in competitions.

Not exactly something I can say is my best. But it's passable enough I guess. :D
