Background/History:
Born of Atlantian woman and mad Demi-God? Raised by Dolphins and then a lighthouse keeper?
I refuse to use either the "Handless Wonder" or the "Watery Fisted" versions. So this is a slightly tougher Aquaman with a few "Optional abilities" to cover the game supplements I have. Whatever happens with the Crisis Undeux, I will be using this version of Aquaman.
Personality/Motivation:
He's a good guy, like Superman. He's a bit more stubborn and cranky than Clark though. Perhaps its the fact that while Clark lost his world Arthur was booted from his. He's a demon underwater, with exceptional reflexes and almost unheard of speed. Outside the water? Underestimate him at your peril. Even when dried out for weeks he is a beast and a half.
Quote:
Zauriel: "Well, if it's experience you're looking for, I'm afraid I've only been doing this since the dawn of time."
Aquaman: "Not a problem. Never let it be said that the League doesn't respect the new guys."
Powers/Tactics:
Aquaman is probably the closest to a traditional brick on the team, unless he's in his element or where he can contact the sealife nearby, he's gonna run up and hit you. Duck.
Campaign Use:
Aquaman should be someone who is respected by the heroic community. He's hung with the biggest and baddest since his early career and he's got no where near their power. (It's gotta be the shoes... er fins)
Appearance:
Above average height. Bronzed blonde god with more muscles than Hulk Hogan. Wears an orange scaled shirt and green tights with fins. His gloves are green and he wears no mask. Often disguises himself by not scowling.
