Orin of Atlantis; Aquaman
Basic History Of The Character:
The original Atlanteans are long dead. When they disobeyed their God Poseidon, his punishment was bringing the Great Flood upon them. Once the cradle of civilization, the Golden Age of Atlantis died beneath the waves.
Atlantis was then populated by marine life who, due to centuries of us poluting the waters, were mutated. One mutation was humanoid and highly evolved, and this spread, creating Atlanteans as they are now. They found Atlantis, and mastered the ancient technologies there. Life in Atlantis was akin to that of barbaric tribes.
One of the Atlanteans whom called himself Kordax, brought the Atlanteans together. Uniting the savage tribes into one brought harmony amongst the diverse Atlanteans, but not to the Gods of the Sea. The sea nymphs acted as spies for Poseidon, taking a closer look at what had become of the lost civilization now that it had started to sprout and prosper once more.
Ideologies such as science, magic, and religion had truly began to improve within the colonies of Atlantis, starting with the new capital which was in Poseidon's name: Poseidonis. However, the Old God of the Sea did not take this news well, for the religions were starting to diversify and spread. The Gods whom which the Ancient Atlanteans used to worship, were now almost forgotten.
And so, Poseidon punished the Atlanteans once more. He rampaged through the city of Poseidonis, claiming their leader: the blonde haired Kordax. On that day, he laid a curse upon Kordax and all of his bloodline which would be distinguishable by their blonde hair. That very same day, Kordax was slain. Taken to the center of the city, tied up to one of the pillars, through Poseidon's demands the creatures of the sea ate at his flesh until Kordax died. All who witnessed this horrid day, forgot the ideologies Kordax and his campaign had brought forth. For they feared of his same punishment.
The curse became widely referred to as the Curse of Kordax. So feared, that the wife of Kordax--Cora--was forced to flee to the city. Little did the inhabitants of Poseidonis know however, Kordax's son laid in her womb. Scared and unsure who to turn to, Cora turned to the ancient aquatic titan Tethys. Tethys creates a pact with Cora, claiming that the creatures of the sea will forever guide and protect her family, as the titans touched the belly of Cora. A blue glow emanated afterwards, and Cora could feel something different: she was starting to feel hope for the survival of her son.
Cora dies giving birth to Kordax's son, his heir, Orin as was the price of making the deal with Tethys. But just as the titan Tethys promised her, the very ocean protected Orin as the baby grew up. When Orin grew to manhood, word spread across the waters about an Atlantean with blonde hair.
Orin travelled to Atlantis, finding the city of Poseidonis. He was not met with open arms, as the people immediately tried to kill him: for fear of what him and the Curse of Kordax would bring upon them. Upon his arrival a large Kraken attacked the city, and the citizens blamed Orin's arrival for their misfortune. However, this thought quickly faded away when Orin slained the Kraken with his bare hands.
From that day forth, Orin was a hero among the Atlantean people. However, that isn't to say that everyone was thrilled. Some still remain loyal to Poseidon and the other Gods of the Sea and most importantly...Poseidon's decree about the descendants of Kordax.
Three Reasons Why You Have Chosen That Character:
1. Ever since my portrayal of the Aquatic Ace in the fifth Season of the DC RPG, naturally I fell in love with the character. He is easily one of my top five favorite superheroes.
2. He has a rough history in the Ultimate DC RPG. And when I say this, I mean really rough. Constantly introduced with different writers and constantly changed. This will be the last retcon the Marine Marvel will need.
3. I have an idea for an Aquaman Movie and since obviously I will never type up a script for one or have it appear on the screens...perhaps I can reveal my idea through this RPG. I have a feeling it will be well received. The origin will be different than the movie idea I had, but not arc/plot I have planned.
What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character As A Person (IE: How are you 'utlimizing' him or her?):
I am going to embrace the mythological and old folklore traits of the King of the Seven Seas and his realm. There will be a small reflection of one of Peter David's work with the Gods of the Ocean in my portrayal, but in my own way.

Please Provide A Small Sample Post In The Format You Wish To Portray Your Character In:
Orin awakes his slumber, and in the process awakes his two 'guests' as he sits up on the edge of the bed. A woman's hand lays upon his shoulder, another wrapping around, locked on his arm. Orin found himself much more welcomed once he slayed the sea monster.
"Don't go, darling. The tides haven't even changed yet."
"Yes. Come back to bed."
Orin grunts as he pulls away from the two women, getting up from the bed. He walks up to the window, staring at the underwater city around him. The building was airtight, preventing the outside water from rushing in. It was the design of every building in Poseidonis.
But while it had become a comfort to some Atlanteans to remain dry if they wish, it would never be something Orin could get used to. He grew up with the waves of the ocean, swimming and playing as far as the eye could see. The entire ocean was to himself it seemed.
"Love?"
"Will you two shut up? I do not even know your names, yet you talk to me with such words of infactuation and you speak of myself as though I am your one, true, love."
Orin turns around, looking at the two women. There is sadness in their eyes, but Orin knows not to think of it much. They were simply 'loose' women who slept with the hero who killed the Kraken. They did not care for love, only for that fact.
Orin walks back over to the bed, and two women smile. However, their mood soon shifts as they see him begin to put his clothes and armor-scaled shirt and gauntlets back on. He doesn't even look back as he exits the bedroom, wishing to leave without interruption.
