[indent]
Aquaman was born in the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, the heir to the queen Atlanna and the Great King Atlan, both beings of incredible magical prowess. The name his mother gave him upon his birth is Orin Of Atlantis, heir to the throne. He had a younger brother, born two years after him, named Orm.  When Orin was three years old, the convoy he was transported with inside of Atlantis was attacked by a monster of mythic proportion, killing his convoy and causing a riptide that washed up him on land, where Arthur William Curry, a fisherman and owner of a lighthouse took him in and raised him as his own for several years, Orin's vague memories of Atlantis was thought to be nothing more than a child's imagination. For the coming years he had a normal childhood, fixated on water and a stronger swimmer than his peers.

Nine years later, when Arthur was 12 years old, people came to the lighthouse - the kind that didn't look familiar, out of this world. They wanted to kidnap The Prince and when his surrogate father resisted they killed him, striking him down like a dog, right in front of Orin. That was the first time Arthur saw someone die.
But it wouldn't be the last time. The would be kidnappers were destroyed by a young girl who also emerged from the water. Her name was Mera, and she had come to get Arthur.

Once he returned to Atlantis, things started coming back to him. He began remembering the submerged city, the aura of magical energy, the golden architecture and the long lost sense of grandure. Yet a deep sorrow in his heart. Mera, the girl who had saved his life tried to talk with him, cheer him up, but he was not in a talkative mood. he had already lost his dad today, only to be brought into the Royal Court to be greeted by a crying woman, claiming to be his mother her embrace reminiscent of a time long ago. She told him that his father had passed. That the King of Atlantis was dead.

Following the next six years, Arthur would learn about Atlantis, about his heritage and he would learn how to rule his kingdom. He would prove to be a strong warrior, a excellent tactician and a graceful king, putting his people before everything else. On his 18th Birthday he was crowned king, handed the Trident Of Poseidon and declared the ruler of the seven seas. The people of Atlantis rejoiced for a time.


Over the course of the next ten years, Orin would marry Mera and he would lead Atlantis with a strong hand, forever having Atlantis's best at heart. Yet, parts of him longed for the world he had lived in previously. The surface. Maybe it was tunnel vision, or that very same longing that made it impossible for the cunning king to prevent the betrayal he faced by his brother, Orm whom had plotted a coup against Orin to steal the throne.

Civil war erupted, many were dead, Mera and her unborn child included. Filled with anger and grief, he struck down his only still remaining kin, condemning Orm to a life of torture. His spirit broken, Arthur left Atlantis behind, to walk the Earth. In 2014, after a outing where he stopped a mutated sea beast from destroying an oil rig - thus preventing the biggest oil spill in human history, Arthur has become known to the world as Aquaman and asked to join Lex Luthor's attempt at a joint Superhero operation - the Justice League. He accepted.  Once again, his mind is thorn, between being a hero and the king he used to be. He misses Atlantis, he longs to be with his family, yet he finds purpose in being a hero of the surface world.

[indent]For one, I wanted to play a.. More Gray-scaled Aquaman. He's a warrior, a soldier and a king, before he is a hero. Inspired by the JLU and Flashpoint versions of Aquaman. The goal with the character is to write a interesting story, weather it's justice league or Atlantis based, or anything inbetween, as I think Orin is a grosely underrepresented character without equal in that regard. Besides B'Wana Beast, of course.[/indent]

[indent]This entire sheet is based on the idea that nobody is playing Namor and therefore I've made no mention of him as that would complicate the entire sheet for no good reason, if anyone would be interested in playing the [i]false king of Atlantis[/i], we should collaborate a backstory that works with the two.
