[COLOR=limegreen][indent]The son of a lighthouse keeper in the sleepy town of Amnesty Bay, Arthur was born into a rebellion that he knew nothing about until it crashed upon the shores of Maine. The only child of Queen Atlanna of Atlantis, Arthur finds himself thrust into a civil war raging beneath the sea and the quest to try and recover the legacy of a mother he knows nothing about. A quest that will take him places beyond imagination, and the discovery of truths he may be unprepared to receive.

The dangers presented were made real when an out of town swim competition in New York turned deadly, with Orm Marius unleashing fire trolls upon the Big Apple in a bid to eliminate Arthur as a threat, before being turned back by the combined power of Arthur, Martian Manhunter, Captain Marvel, and other heroes.

Rather than wrestle with swim team competition or what to think about having been kissed by another boy, Arthur is confronted with the reality that his uncle wants him very dead, as well as newfound fame as the "superboy of New York."

[COLOR=limegreen][INDENT]The story of a forbidden love between an Atlantean queen fleeing an arranged marriage and a lighthouse keeper in Amnesty Bay, Maine, told in the vein of the Golden Age Superboy stories where Arthur's childhood is the story rather than relegated to flashbacks. Orm is the primary nemesis in this take, re-imagined as Arthur's uncle who has usurped the throne of Atlantis in his bid to become Ocean Master, using Atlanna's flight as justification for imprisoning her and assuming the throne. His quest to eliminate Arthur as a contender to the throne will bring other familiar faces to the story, including Black Manta.

In regards to Namor and Marvel's version of Atlantis, for this concept I'm interpreting "Atlantis" to be like GoT's Westeros, filled with multiple feudal kingdoms vying for political dominance. Atlanna and Orm Marius just represent the equivalent of the Iron Throne. This also allows for physical variation between Atlanteans (think Arthur's typical appearance vs. Garth's Year One appearance vs. Namor's typical appearance). So I'm trying to leave room for any future Atlantean character to be able to interpret things as they may need to suit what they want for their character, while still being able to mix into my lore.

My story will use Atlanna, Garth, Mera, Orm, Vulko, Slizzath, Black Manta, Siren (one iteration of her anyway), the Trench, and even my own version of Sardine from [i]Super Friends[/i]. In keeping with past OU games, the Alpha Flight character Mar will appear, with Marvel's Plodex race serving as the OU version of the Brine. Giving away a spoiler, the Savage Land will feature when Arthur finds Atlanna. Everything else Aqua-related is up for grabs by whoever wants it.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][/COLOR][/INDENT][hr][center][sup][color=darkgray][i]All formatting originates via the work of[/i] [color=248ffd][i]Lord Wraith[/i][/color][/color][/sup][/center]
