Backstory:
Crimson Tide comes from a race of aqua elephants that live in the Crimson Sea. Every aqua elephant he had ever met had the same crimson coloring to their watery skin. He was the odd one out with pure blue water for his skin.

Hating that he felt ostracized by his own people, Crimson Tide left. He took up some red armor and wore it around to make himself seem more crimson colored. He took up fighting, using the spear fishing poles as his weapons and began proving his worth to others.

One day, he finally returned to his home to find it under attack by gillmen pirates. Crimson Tide rushed in to help and fought back the pirates, saving the aqua elephants. From then on they stopped judging him for not being crimson. They gave him the name Crimson Tide to make him feel more at home among them and respected him as their greatest warrior.

Personality:
Crimson Tide is a loud person. His volume switch is always dialed up to an 11 like he has to yell everything. That said, he is very hard to anger — although some of his excited yells are taken as anger due to his booming voice.
