[b]Powers:[/b]
[hider=Royal Atlantean Physiology]Mako can breathe underwater, endure the vast pressures of the deep, see in total darkness, and his hearing is acute enough to perform bio-sonar much like a dolphin can. On the other hand he can only spend a limited time out of water. He also possesses superhuman levels of strength, speed, endurance and durability, all by-products of his body being adapted to survive unprotected in the tremendous pressures of the ocean depths. Although other Atlanteans possess similar adaptations, Aquaman's royal lineage makes him a super-Atlantean as well as super-human, and as such he has greater physical capabilities than does a typical Atlantean.[/hider][hider=Marine Telepathy]Mako has the ability to telepathically commune with and empathically coerce all creatures of the sea, and to thusly enlist the aid of these denizens of the oceans. Unlike his father, Mako has not as of yet demonstrated any aptitude for general telepathy or mental control towards non-marine life.[/hider][hider=Atlantean Sorcery]Schooled in Atlanean sorcery, Mako has tattoos etched on his forearms which allow him to subtly manipulate the water in a person's body to repair damaged tissues. He has to be in contact with the injured area to do this, and it's a slow process. Obviously, this only works on lifeforms composed largely of water.[/hider]
[b]Weaknesses:[/b]
[hider=Water Dependency]Mako must return to water after a period of time or he becomes dehydrated. This period can be extended by the humidity in the atmosphere but eventually prolonged dehydration will weaken him thus he must return to aquatic environment to recuperate.[/hider]

[b]Equipment:[/b]
~Trident of Neptune: The Trident is a magical weapon that grants its wielder great power and the divine right to rule the sea. The Trident of Neptune was forged by the cyclopes out of admantine and Neptune's own essence. It can manipulate and conjure water, as well as disperse energy in the form of bolts.

[b]Personality:[/b] At the best of times Mako is heartfelt, earnest, compassionate, and outgoing. At less sterling moments he may come across as brash, overbearing, or even arrogant. He's been raised as royalty from an early age, with all of the gravity and responsibilities that entitles, but very few of the benefits that traditionally go along with them. He is quick to anger, though he's good at not showing it openly. He is something of a warrior poet, and loves art of all sorts.

[b]Bio:[/b] The fall of Atlantis truly began with Mako's older brother Arthur Curry Jr. When Darkseid's invasion spread beneath the waves to threaten Poseidonis, the toddler prince was killed in the siege. Orin was consumed by the loss of his son, and in a rage lead his armies in an attack on Darkseid. Though he fought fiercely, he was slain by the new god.

With the loss of their king, Garth retrieved Aquaman's trident and rallied the remaining troops to lead them in a withdrawal. With an incredible majority of the population of Atlantis already dead, they had few options remaining. In a last ditch effort, Garth used his sorcery to augment Mera's innate connection to her home dimension: Dimension Aqua. Opening a rift, they evacuated the surviving Atlanteans into the other dimension, fleeing from Earth and leaving it to it's grim fate.

At the time of the invasion, Mera was already with Orin's child, though she knew it not at the time. Nine months later, she gave birth to her second son, Mako. The displaced Atlanteans lived as refugees for years, never truly integrating with the society of Dimension Aqua. Mako grew up knowing that he was the King of a wandering people, who'd lost their lands at the hands of a tyrant. From a young age, cold fury burned in his chest. He became aggressive, and his mother had Garth channel that aggression towards positive ends. He taught him to fight, to lead, and to know the sea like the back of his hand. In many ways, Garth was the father he never had. The two of them went on many adventures in the watery world of Dimension Aqua.

When he came of age, Mako made a decision to go back and see the desolation that Darkseid had wrought upon the Earth. His mother was terribly against it, but eventually he and Garth returned to Atlantis: it was a ruin and a tomb. Utterly lifeless, along with the rest of the world. Sorrow and anger and fear collided against one another inside of Mako like a tropical storm. Just before he felt he could no longer bear it, they detected a signal. A message left on an infinite loop, playing over and over again to deaf ears. Before departing the planet with the fleets, Batman had arranged a delayed information cache in the case that anyone or anything might have survived in hiding or otherwise. It was encoded using cryptography that had been standard within the Justice League, and they were able to make sense of it. It contained projected routes of the fleets, the identities of trusted contacts within his burgeoning rebellion, contact frequencies, and other vital information.

Spurred to action by the discovery, Mako returned to Dimension Aqua with Garth in tow. They got into contact with Batman, and learned about the unsuccessful efforts that had been thus far made. When he told them about the plan for the time portal, Mako offered to have the Atlantean scientists begin the initial construction of the installation while they awaited the arrival of Wayne and Luthor. When the chosen heroes arrived back on earth, Mako was there to greet them; and insisted on going along.
