ABILITIES:
Arthur Curry is a man of the ocean, literally. Baffling scientists, Curry not only heals once water touches his flesh, but he's also capable of moving at a rapid pace, even faster than speed-boats while in water. Curry has proved to be able to communicate with marine life as well, another thing that surprises marine biologists as Curry has constantly been able to call forth different water-life, such as sharks and sting-rays and dismiss them when he's done. Many wonder if Curry is even human, he does come across as one but the traits he exhibits with water is not natural, it can't be explained. Proving to be much stronger than a man of his size is supposed to be, as well as being able to hold his breath beneath water for extended periods of time, hours.. upon hours, Curry is indeed unnatural.
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:
Curry has no qualms onto who he is, he's a superhero and has time and time again proved to be a valuable resource when dealing with water-based criminal activity. No criminal has managed to out-run him on boat.
When not around water, Curry's ability and power is highly limited. He still possesses some speed, faster than most, but his strength level holds a noticeable difference compared to when he is around water. It isn't know what a lack of H20 would do to Curry, there is however.. speculation on what could.
BACKGROUND:
All Arthur Curry knows regarding his life is that his father lived in a Lighttower on Amnesty Bay and due to him being a premature birth, his father worked closely with a Doctor Victor Fries on a highly experimental tank that recreated a prenatal environment for Curry to live in.
The specialized fluid helped protect Curry's very vulnerable skin and soft bones from, everything until he was properly developed, which was deemed highly controversial by fellow medical scientists upon learning of the method. Nevertheless, Curry lived a life of a normal child until he was rolled out in sea when he was seven, instead of drowning, he found out that he was able to hold his breath and glide through water like marine life.
One of Dr. Curry's friends, a marine biologist worked with Arthur upon learning of Arthur's ability with water and the ocean; which soon discovered that among manipulating the ocean, he could also communicate with marine life, from primitive life-forms such as algae to more complicated and evolved species like dolphins and whales.
Through life, Curry never knew what he was until he was a teenager and was approached by a stranger from the sea. Claiming to be his mother, the woman asked Arthur of his origin, which he told her- she then revealed starling information regarding his identity that he brushed off as "crazy talk."
The woman disclosed to Arthur that his name, "below surface" was Orin, and he was next in line to rule Atlantis, where his mother- the woman from the ocean, was of royalty, but ran out of the kingdom due to her relationship with Arthur's father. Realistically, Arthur dismissed the information, claiming the woman was 'nuts,' but more and more.. things begun to make sense. As Arthur aged, the stronger the bond with the ocean got, the more powerful his abilities also grew. It wasn't until his 20th birthday when he was approached by several strangers of the sea, telling him of the death of his mother by presenting him with a gold trident, one that Arthur reluctantly took and finally told his father about- the entire situation.
Doctor Curry admitted the truth- on land, Arthur Curry was just a normal man, the son of a scientist.. but below surface- in the water? He was the grandson of King of Atlantis- he was Orin, the heir to the throne.. Something he DID NOT approve of, causing him to cast himself away from his father to find his own path in life, believing that everyone had gone crazy.
It's been eight years since that day, Curry has become a cult-hero for those with obsessions with the ocean. Known for his firm stance on marine-life and protecting the ocean, Curry has been called a lot of things, from "AC" to more cheesy nicknames of "Aquaman" which he hates. Regardless, Curry is 28 years old and is looking to reconcile with his father after learning of startling details of his life.. seeing things for himself upon a diving trip into the Atlantic Ocean.
Arthur Curry refuses to acknowledge Orin as part of him, or his potential Atlantian culture, but he does love and cherish his father which is why problems must be rectified, immediately.
