Haha, I love how he's got detailed plans for the core members, and then all the "other" members are kind of vague. Like Aquaman's...he has a kind of sort of idea that maybe he could possibly alter the Scarecrow formula<em>somehow.</em>XD I do also like how he's like "If I go bad, use my parents against me. Nah, 's cool, I understand." XD<br/><br/>Which reminds me, I've been sorting out character connections with other players and Aquaman, so here are the currently agreed ones! :-)<br/><br/><br/>- 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/><br/>And that's it thus far, I believe! Check your inboxes, since I think I've Pmed everybody. If I haven't, feel free to PM me and open up discussions about possible meetings and history with Orin. I don't bite unless you ask me to! :D
