◼ HYDROKINESIS
Primarily, Arthur uses this ability to propel himself through the water at insane speed, but with concentration he can also manipulate water.
◼ ENHANCED SENSES
Arthur can see in the near lightless depths and his hearing is more acute than a normal human.

__________________________________________________________________________________
The son of a lighthouse keeper in the sleepy town of Amnesty Bay, Maine, Arthur knows very little about his mother. And his father seems cryptic but adamant on keeping it that way, for reasons Arthur can't imagine. What's clear is that Arthur isn't like other kids his age, which is a difficult problem to grapple with at a time when he's also aged into a period in his life where fitting in is the most important thing to him.

Rather than wrestle with swim team competition and the eternal question of what to think about the prospect of a middle school dance however, Arthur is confronted with the reality that someone wants him very dead.

The question of why will take him to places beyond imagination, and truths he may be unprepared to receive.

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. In a world where Superman is not an icon and Batman is merely a rumor on the streets of Gotham, Arthur Curry still being a goofy kid seems to fit.

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, Namorita, Orm, Vulko, Black Manta, Siren (one iteration of her anyway), the Trench, and even my own version of Sardine from Super Friends. 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.
