top- Aquagirl, Killer Frost, Icemaiden, Freeze, Baron Blizzard, Terra, Sand, Fire, Fever, Pirahnna, Devil Ray, Shark

Bottom- Arion, Glace', Chill'ah, Gaea, Aarden, Cellsiaus, Kraykhen, Nondi, Mako, Delphinoidea

Aquagirl- (Reefcutter & Sharkstooth)
Daughter to the King of Atlantis, and niece to Sword of Atlantis, Kaizen(Aquaman). Umiko is chosen by Zenjiro(Aqualad) to be his apprentice, due in part to her insistance, and her father's prohibition. she is headstrong and difficult to teach, but loves her uncle & wishes to aid in his safe return.

Killer Frost- (Sword of Sommersa)
Originally apprentice to Icicle, she was constantly abused by him. during the Poseidon's Trident quest, it was revealed that his abuse included rape. Aquaman flew into a rage and was stopped from slaying him by Frost. He never trained her, but kept her around to employ as a decoy to his foes. It was also during this quest that Icicle used, not only many of his IceWeaving skills, but his most secret technique to stop one of the monsters, to save the lives of his team. After seeing this, Frost stabs him from behind with his own sword. she was keeping an eye on him the entire time she was with him, and had now seen him uses all of his techniques. She claimed the sword, as well as the title Killer Frost. She takes his bloodstained headband, along with some other articles of his armor, after scalping his ponytail and wearing it as a trophy around her waist. It is on Aqualad's Missing Master Quest, that it is discovered that she has taken the apprentice...

Icemaiden- (Icepick & Icespike/ New Sword of Sommersa)
A royal of Sommersa, she has been sheltered, but was chosen by Killer Frost against the wishes of the Council of Elders. She is very nieve, and Killer Frost is subtly trying to corrupt her & turn her against everything she's known. Her training swords absorb energy(especially heat) to train for Iceweaving. When she acquires the Sword, her inexperience allows her to be swayed to choose the apprentice...

Freeze- (Icepick & Icespike)
A very cold and calculating boy. he is chosen to be apprentice so that the council can have control over the sword again, but he has his own sinister agenda. he is shown holding Icepick

Barron Blizzard-
Member the council, who persuades Icemaiden to take Freeze as apprentice for the good of the empire.

Terra- (New Sword of Lemuria)
After training with her brother Geo, Terra changes her outfit to be more like his. When Geo goes missing, she qickly gathers the cheiftains to offer candidates for apprentice. she takes all of them on in hand to hand at the same time and the last one standing is...

Sand- (Boulderdasher)
a bit egotistical, and mildly sexist, Sand figures he should have the Sword, but wouldnt dare to take it by force. he does frequently challenge her for it, and when she continually kicks his backside, starts making random wagers, with the sword as the prize...which he also looses. his training sword allows him to expell force at a great rate upon impact, causing massive destructive power. the sheer weight of the sword is training in itself.

Fire- (New Sword of Su' phala)
After finding her confidence at her master Siren's side, Fire dons some similar pieces of her armor when she acquires the sword. as is costumary, the women in the city are gathered and the sword glows brightest when it is near the next person to be chosen as apprentice. this time it happened to be...

Fever- (Ember's Edge)
based on the Doom Patrol Member Fever Pitch. very indoctrinated in the ways of Su' phala. she believes that men are only good for procreation. even tho fire had begun to adopt some of those beliefs from Siren, she begins to question them when she hears them aloud coming from her young apprentice. training sword allows user to concentrate energy into the blade in the form of heat.

Piranhha- (New Sword of Rhakotis/ Twin Arcblades)
it is only because his master Charybdis has a secret stash of riches that Piranhha agrees to go on the quest. he fully intends to find out the stash's whereabouts, then kill his master & keep the sword. he chooses Moray as his apprentice, who's training swords allow the user to manipulate the bio electrical impulses of target on contact, as well as amplify their own and channel into the blade.

Devil Ray- (NightSlasher/ New Sword of Dwarka)
Fiercely loyal to his master, Black Manta. he has no intentions on keeping his sword. he does not choose an apprentice to emphasize this. he carries both swords until he can return his master's to him.

Shark- (Breathtaker/ New Sword of Shindagha)
last time, i wasnt sure if this sword was his or his master Dolphin's... i've decided. the sword with the ribbon is the training sword Breathtaker. he is a very hostile individual, and it wasnt until he was taken into the order, that he began to find inner peace. he cooses Remora as his apprentice, although he also fully intends to return his master's sword if she still lives...and kill the man responsible if she does not.

Arion- (Lord of Atlantis, the Royal Capital City)
Arion was the 2nd born twin of two gods. Dainichi(a god of order) and Iki-Ryu(a goddess of chaos) fought for ages. during one conflict, they got close enough to each other that Dainichi caught her off gaurd with a kiss. surprised, she kissed him back furiously, and they began to make dangerously passionate love for days. after laying together, Iki-Ryu got angered at Dainichi for something and attacked him. instead of retaliating like normal, he retreated. he sensed the life within her and left her there alone, rather than endanger their offspring. he returned as she was giving birth. knowing that they could never live together, he helped her deliver the twins, and took the second born. he said that in 10 years he would return, and they would trade children for another ten years. she cursed him as he vanished with the child. 10 years later, they both returned to the spot with the boys. Arion had trained with his father, while his brother Kompera (Garn Daanuth) had trained with their mother. they traded children and disappeared. while with his mother, Arion was subjected to harsh treatment and living conditions. she treid to get the child to learn the black arts of magic, but he refused and studied his father's training in his head. 10 more years later they returned to the spot. Kompera was visibly disturbed. he screamed at his mother, for apparently they had struck a deal: he would kill his father, and she would kill his brother and they would be happy together. she told him he obviuosly failed since Dainichi made it to the meeting, as she always supected since he was a dissapointment. she sensed that Arion was potentialy stronger and held out hope to sway him to her. Dianichi prevented Kompera from killing him early on. he told him that his mother would betray him, and if he was wrong he would willingly let him kill him. Kompera lashed out at his brother for "taking away his mother" and she stepped in to protect him...dying as a result. this started the bloodfued. Arion would later become ruler of the continent of Meropis, which had 7 cities. Eventually, Arion's brother returned to destroy his brother's kingdom. with his dark magik, Kompera summoned elemental creatures to destroy the realm. not eing able to take them all on at once, Arion magcally crafted 7 swords. he gave one to a champion of each of the cities, keeping one for himself. each of them faced off with one of the creatures, and were able to extract some of its essence into the sword. they then attacked which ever elemental was weakest to the element their sword was imbued with.
Lightning< Earth
Earth< Fire
Fire< Water
Water< Ice
Ice< Wind
Wind< Darkness
Darkness< Lightning

The creatures were defeated and Kompera fled. Years later, he would return with a host of monsters from the depths of the ocean as his army. they attacked, and The Swords deffended. However, he was able to use his powers to destroy the continent, and begin to sink it. Arion crafted a spell, using the Swords as conduits, to turn the populace into seabreathers. Since some of the cities were submerged during the spell, their inhabitants took on characteristics of the sea life around them. Arion used his last bit of energy to relocate the 7 cities final resting places. he then disappeared.

much appreciated! i like her design as well! i tried to make the characters recognizable. i also am fond of how Devil Ray came out. i wanted him to look similar to my black manta, since the character was derived from him...but different. i also liked designing the swords and naming them!

"Freeze eventually discovered a means to amplify his iceweaving abilities 1000 times over, and he started freezing over the earth in a bid for cryogenic conquest. None of the Sea Samurai could stop Master Freeze, but Batman and the Batclan were able to finish where they started.
Freeze was banished from the undersea kingdoms, and now he seeks revenge on all those who undid his work... starting with a certain Dark Knight."
