Why Should Your Character Should Be....: On an IC perspective, I think this would be a very ironic magic for this character, but we must first understand this character. To begin, Achim is a religious character who treats life like it is a game. A typical viewpoint for FTRP's villains, but Achim is not one to crave the spotlight. In fact, he finds spectating more pleasing than participating, making him a dangerous onlooker with a taste for psychotic situations. But do mistake him for anything but a 'evil' character, he rapes, steals, and murders. And although these are all common traits for an evil character, we must continue.
Achim, on that same note, is also a very religious characters. The foundation of his willpower and goals are based upon God, and although his beliefs and morals are still to question, even by himself, he is still profound in saying that he is a believer in God. And now for the irony: Why would a murderer who worships a god of good will and kindness be a God Slayer? And beyond that, why water? Typically one may associate Venom, Darkness, Metal, or Fire with dark mages, but nothing as pure as water.
But besides irony, water is an underestimated element with deadly potential, and I feel that Achim could best utilize its treacherousness in both plot and out of character, within the magic itself. He is a character that takes one of the purest, light-associated elements and makes it as deadly and formidable as fire or venom.
