Story Summary:
Spade lives in Oldhills Town with his family. His mother and father are the perfect example of an average couple. Though Spade and his parents are close, he prefers to spend time with his friends.
Spade is Chess's best friend. They have been since they were children. How they met was rather unusual. One day in kindergarten, Chess was eating an apple when a kid suddenly bumped into him. This caused him to swallow an unchewed chunk and he started choking. Spade noticed this, and immediately took action. He did the heimlich maneuver and quickly dislodged the piece of apple, allowing Chess to breathe.
Everyone was amazed and praised Spade for saving Chess. Back then Spade was a bit shyer, so he was very modest about it. Ever since that faithful incident, Spade and Chess were best friends.
Over the years, Chess and Spade grew closer as friends. Spade grew to enjoy Chess's calm, serious nature. Being somewhat of an opposite, Spade loved convincing Chess to relax once in a while.
Whenever Chess suffered tragedy and loss in his life, Spade was always there to offer comfort. Sadly, he was not that much help. When Chess decided to become a guardian, Spade became worried. He heard rumors about how brutal the guardian training was. There was a possibility Chess would be badly affected by it. Sadly, Chess refused to listen to Spade's warnings and began the training.
Fortunately, Chess did not seem to change while he went through the training. However, Spade was still suspicious of it. There was something about Chess after he went through a training session that seemed unsettling.
Powers and Abilities:
Spade has a special variant of poison that is more liquid than gaseous. It is called acid. With his acid element, he can fire sprays of light purple mist from his weapon swings to burn his opponents. He can also coat his blade in the volatile substance to cut through solid objects. His acid is powerful enough to burn through wood cleanly, but can only sizzle stone.
His skills with his oversized blade are above average, but since his weapon is unusual in shape, size, and fighting style it is hard to say what his true weapon wielding skill level is. His physical strength is slightly above average, but not all that impressive. His speed is average, but he can dodge attacks very well.
Spade seems to have a sense for trouble and deceit. This is likely due to the fact that his great grandfather was a marineman. This emotional sense often helps him see through a person's lies or feel their malicious intentions.
Personality:
Spade, as his star name suggests, is very energetic, positive, and determined. Some believe he is the opposite of Chess, but this is only because of their behavior. Spade is often confident and full of energy. He loves spending time with his friends and helping them stay happy.
Unlike Chess, Spade does not take things too seriously. However, he is usually serious when he absolutely needs to be, like in battle. Spade believes life is too good to take things too seriously. His optimism is admirable to some.
Spade is overall a very kind person. He's willing to face danger for his friends and the innocent and he cares deeply about others.
