Even though Aqua can be a battle hardened warrior, he still has personal emotions from the past and traumatizing memories of the past as well. Read explanation below.
A little explanation about Aqua's backstory: When he was only 6 years old, he wasn't always like this, when his home village was attacked, he was the only survivor of the attack, then he saw someone with extraordinary powers, Aqua realized that the person he saw was the one who set fire to his village. the figure was glowing yellow, Aqua ran as far away from the mysterious person and his guards, then he found a cave to hide in, but when he was exploring the cave, he fell into a hidden chamber where there, there was another mysterious person. Aqua thought he was done for but this person welcomed him and took Aqua in as his own, Aqua was there for 16 years then before his adoptive father passed, the father gave Aqua powers related to his, then... Aqua was on his own. he trained and learned to control the powers. 2 months later, he met a survivor of an attack on a different village, he to was alone, so they decided to become brothers. His name was Dusk. They built their own home. far enough away from the corruption and destroyed villages. he also had similar powers but he was mostly purple. So Aqua taught Dusk how to control his powers, then they became entities that are half human, half spirit.
