Um....30?<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Straight<br/><strong>Part of Gotham Residing In:</strong>He's currently moving into a new apartment in Mid-Gotham.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">== Physical Description == </span><br/><br/>Arthur stands at about 6'1, with broad shoulders and a well-defined, athletically muscular build. His long dark hair is currently left freely hanging around the back of his neck and the very top of his back, matching his long-ish pointed black beard. His eyes are similarly a darker colour being a muted hue of brown. His warriors conditioning and training has led to him being in almost perfect physical shape at the peak of what his species can achieve with the added benefit of being open to humanities ability to push past their limits if they drive for it. Whilst his normal persona involves wearing ordinary street clothes in the style of jeans and t-shirt - they feel odd sometimes, but he has to avoid standing out - his "costume" is largely just an armour-reinforced battlegreave set engineered to move like ordinary human trousers, whereas his upper half is clad only in a simple black boiled leather bandoleer-type belt that connects and keeps attached his long Atlantean scale-mail gauntlets and shoulder plate full sleeve. His "colours" tend to be that of the Atlantean royal linel that is, orange, blue and brown, though he makes an effort to avoid dressing in colour coded clothes when in "Civvies." He has a few scars from previous adventures in small isolated areas of his body, but for the most part, he is unblemished and looks as if he has never been in a serious fight...at least, not one that he got injured from. Whilst his face gives off the air of seriousness and determination when in battle, when with friends and trusted colleagues, he is quick to smile and laugh, and his face is capable of splitting into the broadest grin you've likely ever seen.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">== Persona ==</span><br/><br/>When with friends or trusted confidantes in a casual setting, Arthur is relatively laid back and easy-going, always ready with a smile or a dry quip to lighten the mood and provide a welcoming, friendly environment. He's also fiercely loyal to his friends, always making certain that he's around if they need him with either advice, helpful action or simply a sympathetic ear...he sees it as his duty to provide whatever assistance he can to the people he considers worth his time and trust, and he takes duty very seriously. As such, he has an extremely strong moral code that he will follow regardless of who disagrees with him, and if you attempt to do something that he views as immoral or wrong, you will soon find yourself at odds with him in a much more real way than just verbally. Any attempt at putting civilians in harms way, committing crimes to solve a deeper crime, breaking more laws than absolutely necessary in the name of the "Greater Good" because the Ends justify the Means, deceiving friends or allies or generally breaking what he considers to be the Hero Code Of Honour will all get you on the opposite side of his wrath...and that's when his friendly demeanour changes. When in combat or in danger or in a serious situation in general, he soon becomes extremely businesslike, driven and humourless, unlikely to make quick quips in favour of making precise strikes and dealing with the issue as quickly as possible; when innocents are in danger, it is not the place to make jokes or make light of the situation. Similarly, when angered, despite his patience and understanding nature, he is relentless in his fury until he is satisfied that accounts have been balanced. He is not quick to anger except under certain circumstances, but when he does, it is truly a terrifying sight to behold.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">== Powers/Abilities ==</span><br/><br/><em>Atlantean Biological Adaptation:</em><br/><br/>Atlanteans have evolved and adapted to survive deep under the sea, leading to several biological advantages when on land.<br/><br/>- He can breathe underwater.<br/><br/>- Endure and survive extreme pressures without many negative effects, up to a certain number of "atmospheres" worth of pressure.<br/><br/>- Superhuman strength, speed, agility and durability as a by product of being adapted to survive in the intense pressures of the Deep Sea. He is strong enough to hypothetically make Superman recoil with a punch, fast enough to take him by surprise, durable enough to withstand a punch and agile enough to move out of the way if attacked by him...though he is nowhere near as strong or fast as Superman, he is easily at least 150 times as strong, fast and durable as an ordinary human. Being of the Royal Line, Aquaman is a "Super Atlantean," making him far stronger than most other Atlanteans.<br/><br/>- Amphibious nature. He can survive indefinitely underwater, and can go for extended periods of time on land without any ill effect, though he needs to return to the water at least once every couple of weeks or so to rehydrate.<br/><br/>- Due to being adapted to see in the low light conditions of the Deep Sea, Aquaman can see in near total darkness.<br/><br/>- His hearing is several factors of magnitude more sensitive than humans, which also gives him access to rudimentary Sonar.<br/><br/>- Enhanced sense of smell.<br/><br/>- Superhuman stamina that, for example, allows him to swim at 150mph for over four hours without a break.<br/><br/>- Extremely resistant to heat-and-energy-based attacks (EG, Amazo's heat vision).<br/><br/>- Extremely fast swimmer and runner, being able to swim at 150 MPH and run at 100 MPH.<br/><br/>- Super reflexes; he can react about 15-20 times faster than an ordinary human and has been shown to have superior reflexes to people like Deathstroke and Batman.<br/><br/>- Telepathy, though this is not restricted to marine life. He can compel any life that lives beneath or on the waves - for example, Sea Eagles - to obey him, though he generally requests their assistance rather than forces it. He can also perform basic telepathic feats like mind-to-mind contact and mental probes. In extreme cases, he has even been known to be able to dominate non-aquatic life due to their shared biological ancestry...though this is extremely difficult and almost impossible on stronger willed minds.<br/><br/><em>The Trident of Poseidon:</em><br/><br/>The Trident Of Poseidon is an indestructible three-pronged staff that Aquaman has incorporated into his fighting style. It has a number of unique abilities that only Aquaman can unleash, due to his nature as the favoured of Poseidon.<br/><br/>- Able to shapeshift into a sword and back again on command.<br/><br/>- Grants absolute control of any body of water, though the larger the amount, the more effort and energy it requires. Also able to create water from the air around it.<br/><br/>- The creation of Water Constructs including but not limited to Elemental soldiers and any type of water-borne craft.<br/><br/>- Able to disperse energy bolts and forcefields using magical energy.<br/><br/>- Able to conjure up any weather condition derived from water, including rain, hail, sleet, snow, thunderstorms, fog, waterspouts, tidal waves, whirlpools, intense storms due to its power over water and the oceans.<br/><br/>- Able to create earthquakes by altering water pressure beneath the Earth.<br/><br/>- Allows teleportation across the planet using water as a medium.<br/><br/><em>Other Abilities:</em><br/><br/>- Aquaman is a master of hand to hand combat and weapon-based warfare.<br/><br/>- Being a Super-Atlantean, he is a master tactician and has a natural inborn charisma that makes him a natural leader.<br/><br/>- Besides the sticky subject of coming from an Autocracy, he is generally very accomplished in the art of diplomacy.<br/><br/><em>Weaknesses:</em><br/><br/>- Needs to periodically return to water or he will weaken.<br/><br/>- Due to his powers nature, if he is cut off from the Trident or is trapped in an environment without water, he will rapidly wan in strength and potentially die.<br/><br/>- He is strong and durable, but not invulnerable; small arms fire barely phase him, but concentrated large arms fire or concentrated assault from a super-strong assailant will injure and eventually kill him.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">== Background ==</span><br/><br/>Quite simply, Aquaman kept to his own domain until only a few years ago; he grew up the offspring of a human and an Atlantean in the Capital City of Poseidonis being bred for rule of the Autocratic Empire; though some grumbled about his being only a "half breed," the ancient laws of The Dead King were absolute...being the eldest son of the Atlantean Queen - who was herself the daughter of the previous King - Orin was destined to rule Atlantis regardless of who his father was. Even when his younger brother, a full-blooded Atlantean named Orm, was born only a few years later, Orin was still first in line for rule. He eventually took his place on the throne when his father died about ten years ago, and attempted to lead his new subjects as best he could. Unfortunately, as soon as he took the throne, a splinter faction named "The Loyalists Of The Trident" that opposed his mothers union with a human and sought to depose Orin and replace him with Orm - who had been convinced of Orin's illegitimacy and ill-fortune for Atlantis by his mentor Aldarth, later revealed to be a Loyalist instigator - while the former was still vulnerable, and forced Orin into fleeing the palace in order to marshal his forces. He managed to escape with the Trident of Poseidon, the Atlantean Royal Lines greatest treasure, and went into hiding as he planned and orchestrated his return, seeking aid from anybody who would help him. In this time, he happened to meet several members of The Justice League and, after aiding them in a few of their fights, managed to persuade them by showing them evidence of the new regimes brutality to help him reclaim his homeland. Two years after the coup, he raised his banner against the oppressive new regime of Atlantis and marched on the Kingdom, reconquering his birthright and proving himself an able commander, thereby winning over the remaining Atlanteans to his cause and deposing his despot brother, who he sentenced to life imprisonment for his treason, being unable to execute his own younger brother. He then promised the Justice League as much aid as he could offer as soon as his Kingdom had recovered from their ordeal. He fully intended to keep that promise, but the infrastructure of the Empire needed great attention to repair, so it was several years before the Kingdom was back to its former glory...unfortunately, when the Justice League requested Atlantean aid on its ill-fated final mission, disaster struck again.<br/><br/>Remnants of the Loyalists of The Trident that had attempted to seize his throne returned, this time having secretly created a False Atlantis - dubbed New Tritonis - in an attempt to rival the original and conquer the planet in its own name. They ambushed Orin while he was en-route to the surface with a contingent of soldiers, and launched a simultaneous attack on Poseidonis itself. While Orin and enough of his soldiers escaped and arrived back in the capitol in time to repel the attack, the Loyalists succeeded in freeing Orm from his imprisonment and blockaded the city, shutting off all entrances to the underwater continent. A devastating underwater war broke out beneath the seemingly peaceful waves of the ocean that raged for four bitter years, filled with atrocities on both sides, unleashing increasingly horrific prehistoric beasts and powers on Atlantean and Fauxlantean soldiers alike, before New Tritonis finally fell in the climactic Battle Of The Abyss, a battle so horrific that none of the chroniclers present even dare speak of the brutality out loud, refusing to ever record the details of what transpired in the battle. The only detail that matters is that Orin emerged victorious, but scarred...not only had he just fought a four year war - the second conflict in the first decade of his reign - but he had failed to help his friends, which had led to their deaths. He'd also seen the death of his brother Orm during the Battle Of The Abyss, dragged into a nightmarish portal from which there could be no escape...though he was his enemy, he was still his brother. Afterwards, he saw to the reconstruction of Atlantis over the next year, devoting all of his efforts to repairing the damage done to all life beneath the sea until a few months ago when he got word that something strange was happening on the surface; his Mystical Advisers warned of a great series of disasters approaching, of the kinds that would make The Great Atlantean Schism look like a mere squabble between children by comparison...and that in the future where it was defeated, Orin was standing by the side of the land-dwellers and not hiding in Atlantis. Thus, Orin took on the name Arthur, left his trusted lieutenant as regent in Atlantis and ventured to the surface to investigate this new threat. His Mystics aren't sure what the disaster will be, but they know that it will start in Gotham....so Orin ventures to Gotham in order to head off the catastrophe that has his advisor's so rattled....or die in the attempt.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">== Existing Relationships ==</span><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">- Booster Gold: <br/><br/>Booster was in the JLA when they first met Aquaman, and as such was present in the first battle against Darkseid and during the War Of Reclamation, helping Aquaman retake the throne of Atlantis. Whilst Aquaman and Booster often conflict on the field of battle - Aquaman seeing Boosters flippant attitude towards violence and battle as the height of foolishness and disrespect - they tend to get along better when in a casual situation, since that is when Orin allows himself to relax and have a little bit of fun. Despite Boosters apparent selfishness and superficial nature, Orin knows from his fights alongside Booster that he is, at heart, a good man and thus tolerates his....eccentricities...in good grace. Until a particularly brutal conflict during The Long Night there was a statue of Booster, along with the other members of the JLA and the soldiers in the army that served under Orin when he reclaimed the city, standing proud in one of the many ceremonial gardens of Atlantis. Unfortunately, it has since been extensively damaged and Atlantis currently lacks the funds to repair it. They haven't seen each other in years, though Aquaman has heard that Booster was thought dead then appeared again, apparently having skipped the battle against Darkseid. Despite his overall like of the man, Orin has more than a few pointed questions that he needs to ask...<br/><br/><br/>- Jason Todd: <br/><br/>Jason and Orin have only met two or three times over the course of the last year since Aquaman first arrived in Gotham. They met originally about two months after Orin's initial arrival when they were both investigating the same case. Orin was impressed by Jasons martial and tactical ability, though somewhat concerned about the mans aggressive and violent methods, often going a little too far with suspects for Orin's liking. They met again once or twice when their paths crossed in particularly strange or dangerous cases, but their differences came to a head perhaps the fourth time they met each other in the line of duty; Jason attempted to kill a suspect, much to Orin's displeasure, and Orin stepped in to prevent Jason from "doing the deed." Jason, annoyed and already full of adrenaline, proceeded to attack Orin, though admittedly not with the intent of killing him. After a brief fight, Orin gained the upper hand but instead of taking Jason into custody, allowed him to retreat with a warning that the next time Jason attempted murder and Orin heard of it, he would finish the job and haul him before the local authorities. The two haven't met since, and neither one particularly wants that to change.<br/><br/><br/>- Superboy:<br/><br/>This is an odd one; Connor has the collective memories - that were deemed important, at least - of Superman and thus knows more than most about Orin; namely that his powers are more extensive than you would initially expect, that he's the King of Atlantis and that he fought in the first battle against Darkseid, something that not many people - even among the hero community - actually know. He also remembers that Orin promised aid to the JLA against Darkseid when he attacked the second time, but never showed up...so even though he and Orin have never really spoken much at length - running into each other now and then, but not really taking the time to connect in any meaningful way - there is an undeniable frostiness coming from Superboy whenever he meets Aquaman. Aquaman himself doesn't know who or what Connor is, though he does get an uneasy feeling of distrust whenever they run across each other...though that is probably just a side effect of Connor making no secret of his dislike towards Aquaman, even if he respects his abilities. Of course, there's also the uncannily creepy resemblance to a dead man that might also have something to do with Orin's unease around Superboy...<br/><br/><br/>- Batwoman: <br/><br/>Much like everybody else, Batwoman approached Orin recently about becoming part of a network of heroes that would be pulled together in order to protect against threats too big for one hero to handle alone. She tracked him down largely from his actions within Gotham but also from Batmans admittedly incomplete file on him; basic strengths and abilities were listed on Batmans database, as well as known feats...and anybody who fights Darkseid and walks away is obviously worth at least making contact with. Aquaman agreed to be contactable as part of the network, but he outright refused to join a "team," since he is still learning who he can trust and who he should be wary of on the surface. if Jason Todd can be considered a "hero," then Orin has to be careful who he associates with...<br/><br/><br/>- Miss Martian, "Megan:"<br/><br/>M'gann is an interesting case; he didn't meet her until after he'd been with the Justice League for a good few months, when J'onn decided to reveal that he had a niece...who was in captivity at the hands of Lex Luthor, a human billionaire who made his living off of experimenting on and reverse engineering various curiosities and marvels in a misguided attempt to kill Superman (for some reason). Orin - along with pretty much every other JLA member - volunteered to go, and they freed M'gann from her captivity and got her to safety. She then demonstrated her power against Darkseid and his soldiers - proving that the apple does not, in fact, tumble far from the bush as the humans say - before apparently feeling the need to return the favour and help him reclaim his throne. She was one of the many statues he erected in the Gardens of Poseidonis in memorial for her service, but then something rather unexpected happened; she elected to stay in Atlantis in an attempt to both learn about the culture and history - which she was apparently extremely interested in - and to help in the reconstruction efforts. <br/><br/>Her aid was a huge help, and even today she is remembered above the likes of Superman in Poseidonis for her kindness and her altruism that she showed whilst staying in Poseidonis. She is probably the only outsider to ever have been taught the Atlantean language, and that....that is a huge honour. They don't share their secrets with outsiders easily. Over the next year and a half, Orin and M'gann became close, less like Mentor and Student and more like honorary family, with Orin coming to regard M'gann as a favoured niece. Perhaps they would have become closer still, but when Brainiac and Zod attacked, M'gann left instantly to help even though Orin couldn't leave his people in the middle of the reconstruction efforts. They wouldn't see each other again until 2010, when she was in the group that visited Atlantis to request aid against Darkseid. He agreed to help, though stressed that he would need time to gather his forces and prepare his economy and infrastructure for war. The JLA wanted him to join them personally, though M'gann appeared to understand that Orin was needed to lead his people and so managed to talk the rest of the JLA down.<br/><br/>And then...The Great Atlantean Schism broke out, and all hopes of aiding against Darkseid were lost as the lost continent of Atlantis was embroiled in brutal, bitter war. Orin didn't know what happened to the JLA or to M'gann in that time, though he was sincerely glad that M'gann wasn't around to witness the horrors of an Intergalactic War focused on a continental scale. It would scar her, he was sure, and he wanted everything but that for his honorary niece. War was no place for a teenager, since - despite her years being more numerous than his - that was what she still was, by the standards of her people. It wasn't until the war ended and he left for Gotham that he met her again; after hearing of the JLA's fate, he deliberately sought her out to ensure that she was unharmed and when he found her in February of 2015, she did something that surprised him; she tried to run. It was only half-hearted, of course, and he caught her easily - something that wouldn't have happened if she'd genuinely wanted to get away - but she still ran. <br/><br/>It was then that she all but broke down on him, spilling out a huge rambling rant about the stress of telepathy in a crowded city and the loss of all of her loved ones and this new side of her that had emerged since Darkseid killed J'onn, ending up as torn apart and inconsolable as he had ever seen her. He hugged her and promised to do his best to help her, and she seemed to cheer a little...though he knows he has his work cut out for him. He has indeed noticed a new darkness inside her and a severe lack of mercy that he finds disturbing, and in order to help her through it and in order to help her regain that spark of light and optimism that J'onn's death extinguished, he remains in constant contact with her so that she is not all alone. She may not want his guidance at times in the days to come, but he is determined to steer her away from the dark path she has stumbled onto. He has fought a war, has seen and done numerous terrible things, has ended so many lives and ruined many others....and that is not a burden he wants on M'gann's shoulders. Not if he can help it.<br/><br/><br/>- Princess Koriand'r, "Starfire."<br/><br/>Koriand'r and Orin met at the same time that Orin approached the JLA for help reclaiming his throne from the Loyalists Of The Trident; whilst beforehand their interactions were few and far between, she was one of the members of the JLA dispatched to aid him in the conflict. Granted, when the JLA realised the scale of the war, she was one of the younger members to actively be kept away from the front lines where most of the fighting was done, she still served a valuable support role and her youthful exuberance and perpetual cheerfulness helped keep the soldiers morale up even when the fighting was at its worst. Much like M'gann's efforts at reconstruction after the war are still spoken of to this day, Koriand'r's own efforts are also spoken of with relative reverence by those that fought in the war and experienced her personality first hand, especially those that were wounded and happened to be being seen to on the occasions that Koriand'r elected to visit the medical bays. Of course, that isn't the only reason she is still remembered; rumours abound that, during the war, Koriand'r and Prince Orin shared a bed on more than one occasion. The alleged war-time mistress of the future King Of Atlantis is not easily forgotten from stories, after all. <br/><br/>The rumours are true, though the stories embellish actual events; they were not madly in love and they were not separated by the cruel twists of fate and they are not starcrossed lovers. King Orin, during the Liberation War, was youthful and impulsive, quick to anger and even quicker to act before his thoughts had fully formed. Koriand'r, intimidated and worried by the young King's brash nature and seeming tendency to become callous during battle, thought to calm his anger and his recklessness and to sand off his rough edges by providing a "release" for his frustrations. War is hell, after all, and she hoped that by spending time with him in an intimate manner, it might serve to "mellow him out" a little. Whilst his mood swings did reduce in severity, Kori's attempts at calming him ultimately failed until midway through the war. After making a bad decision out of impulse and recklessness that resulted in the deaths of thousands of loyal Royalist Soldiers, Orin was forced to take a hard look at himself and make an effort to amend his unkingly ways. He and Kori occasionally shared a bed after that, though Orin was understandably not as "excitable" as he used to be.<br/><br/>After the Loyalists were defeated, Kori left with the rest of the JLA a hero, and though he often fondly remembered their time together - albeit unaware that she'd basically been taking pity on him - Orin didn't see her again until Darkseid's second invasion. Due to her "intimate history" with Orin, she was selected to be amongst the delegation that visited Poseidonis to petition Orin for help. It turned out that they didn't need her "charms" to secure his support; he welcomed them as friends and honoured guests with a great Empire-wide banquet of celebration, followed by a day of "negotiations" which in actual fact largely consisted of plotting the logistics of moving a vast number of soldiers onto land in a short amount of time, since Orin agreed to help the JLA as soon as they arrived. They left the following day with Orin's promise of support, Kori among their number. Of course, that wasn't everything; it was during this time that the rumours of Princess Koriand'r of Tamara and King Orin of Atlantis sharing a bed stopped being rumour and started being considered as fact...it was also around the time that romanticisms of their relationship begun to popularise, despite Garth, M'gann and Orin strenuously denying such an aspect of the relationship. After the banquet on the first night, after the revellers had all retired to their quarters - the Guest Quarters being drained for the JLA's benefit - Kori visited Orin's chambers and didn't leave until morning. The following night, she openly accompanied him back to his quarters after the days work had been completed...and those nearby heard quite clearly how "close" the pair was. Superman in particular did <em>not</em> get much sleep. Whilst before, Kori had been offering her company out of sympathy, Kori had - for whatever reason - missed Orin in the intervening time and was pleasantly surprised by his shift in demeanour from young and brash and reckless to more mature, thoughtful and relatively passive. Still, she departed Atlantis and was not to see him again for another five years.<br/><br/>Despite attempting to visit Atlantis during her wandering - where Border Guard of Loyalists who were blockading the sunken continent of Atlantis managed to drive her off - she had not seen Orin until September of 2015, shortly after she returned to Gotham and, with help from Richard Grayson, tracked him down and reunited with him in the lobby of the hotel he was staying at.</div></div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">== Personal Timeline Thus Far ==</span><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">- 1985: Aquaman is born and begins being raised as the heir to the Atlantean throne.<br/><br/>- 2005: Aquaman comes to the throne at the age of 20, but is exiled from Atlantis after a faction calling themselves "Loyalists Of The Trident" lead a coup against the new king.<br/><br/>- 2006: After a year in exile, Aquaman meets the JLA for the first time and aids them in several missions, including their fight against Darkseid and the rescue of M'gann, J'onn's niece who had been captured by Lexcorp.
