This area was settled by German and Scandanavian immigrants. My Grandmother spoke only German until she started school.
I didn't show her here even though I love every little inch of her.
She's the mother of Ramin and Hermia and the character I had the biggest problem to find a suitable mold for. After a failed GO with LLDT and already fearing I would never find the perfect shell for her Soom suddenly released the brown tan Beryl. And she's just gorgeous...and also still needs a name and face-up

Atlantis, Pacific Ocean - 13 Years Ago.
---------------------------
I was only Six years old, Six years old. I was traumatized. I saw my Parents die right in front of my two eyes. It was like my whole life was ripped away, My parents died, because of me. King Shark killed them right in front of my eyes. The sea was calm, Atlantis was beautiful, the city lights were glowing, but it wasn’t like that for long, King Shark and another man, Dare I speak his name, came that night. Everything went to hell. But as they say, Everything happens for a reason.
I remember the night like it was yesterday. My Father, Mother, and I, went for a swim. Until my father spotted King Shark.
“Mera, take Arthur back home now. He’s here” He said while pushing me and my
mother behind him, and readying his Trident for an attack.
King Shark turns around and spots us. He sneers at us and lunges.
My father blocks his attack with his Trident. His fins are in between the prongs on the weapon.
“Give me the boy, and this ends!” He says.
“Over my dead body!”
Father responds, he then pulls his Trident away from Shark and
stabs him in the stomach. Shark growls and slashes Father on the face with his sword sharp fins. Father screams louder than he ever has. He falls to his knees holding his face.
Shark looks over to Mother and me.
“Now, are you gonna give me the boy, or are you gonna end up like your Beloved Husband?” He Growls.
“I’d rather end up like him, then give up my child.” She says with sadness in her voice.
As a tear crawls down her face, she gets ready to battle. She pulls out her Hydro-Swords and says one thing to me.
“Arthur, Run!”
King Shark punches her in the stomach and grabs her by her hair. She immediately drops her Hydro-Swords and grasps on his hands, trying to get them off her hair. He smirks menacingly.
“Goodbye, Queen.” He says. As soon as he gets ready to end my mother’s life, Father gets up and stabs him in the back.
“Let Her Go!” He Yells. He drops my mother to the ground and immediately pulls his focus to Father. As they brawl, Mother crawls to me and whispers something to me.
“Arthur, this may be the end of our lives, but remember, I'll always be with you. Right in your heart.” She says. She then sobs even more whilst holding me close to her.
“Mother, please don’t go! I need you, how will I go on without you guys..” I mumble as I cry.
My mother then looks up to me.
“Look at me Arthur. Never lose hope. No matter what you go through, always remember I will be there. I’ll look over you like a guardian angel.” She says. King Shark then stabs her while she is lying on the ground. I Scream louder than I ever have. I just witnessed my mother die right in front of my eyes. King Shark grabs me and laughs as he spits blood out.
“YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T LISTEN KID?! YOU SEE?” He growls as i continue to cry.
“THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS!” He points at both my dead parents.
“YOUR PARENTS ARE DEAD BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE YOU OVER! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT.” He screams in my face.
That very second, the second my parents died, the second my life was ruined, was the beginning. The beginning of a new life. The beginning of Aquaman.
Suddenly, my hands started to form a water sword. I, unwillingly, stabbed it straight into his jaw. He screams in pain as I whimper in fear. The water starts to form around me, forming a...Water Giant if you will. It was covered in old Atlantean armor, with a big old Helmet, that almost looked like an Atlantean Crown. Out of nowhere, it starts to speak.
“LET THE BOY BE!” He Screams, pointing his Trident straight to King Shark.
“It’s….IT’S TRUE! THE LEGEND IS TRUE! THE DEAD KING! HE’S INSIDE THE BOY!” He says, with an evil Laughter.
From inside this huge...Monstrous Giant, Everything was so little. I felt as if I could crush everything. As if I wasn’t powerless. As if I could’ve saved my parents.
“Did you not hear my commands? I Said, GO! BEFORE I CRUSH YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS.” He says, Stomping a step forward and blasting ice from his hands.
King Shark quickly swims away, leaving a bloody trail along the way. The ice deformed within a matter of seconds, along with the Dead King. I fall to the ground on my knees, drop my hands to the ground, and burst out crying. I wipe up my tears and crawl over to my dead parents, whimpering like a beat up dog.
“Father, Mother? Please… come back….” I Mutter. Then start crying, falling to my mother’s chest.
I lied there for hours, My Aunt Marlena, Father’s sister, was just standing there, holding back her tears, supporting me as I cried and cried.
“Arthur, we must go.. I’m sorry.” She whispers, bending down. I turn around and hug my aunt tightly. I feel a tear roll down her cheek and onto my head.
That night, we went home to her house. We didn’t go back to our house because apparently right after we left, King Shark’s henchmen destroyed it. We buried the bodies the next day. My aunt took good care of me ever since. When I was 13, I officially became the king. At 15, I was fully trained to be the protector of Atlantis, of course, with my Aunt’s husband, Neal, helping me.
He’s the commander of the Atlantean Military force, so he also trained me. He was the closest thing to a Father to me. At 17 years old, My Aunt died. It was almost like the universe didn’t want me to have my family, but my mother always told me, never give up, and always keep going. The only person I had left was my uncle. Then, at 19 years old, that’s when it happened, when I left Atlantis and came to the surface world. I now realize that there’s still hope, the last several months with John and Tula has shown me that I still have a family. I may have just met them, but they’re family to me. And now, At 20 years old, I’ve become a protector of both worlds. I now realize, my father was half human and half Atlantean, so I have some human blood within me. This is my home too. This is my new life.

John’s House, San Francisco - 12:55 PM.
---------------------------------
I had been sitting in John’s house, watching TV, when John called me on the phone he gave me. I picked the phone up and answered.
“Hello?”
“Hey uh, Arthur, I’ve got something to show you, there’s an Uber coming your way to pick you up.”
“Wait, what? I have to go Hire the Donna woman and her tiny boyfriend for Amanda Waller’s team. She’s your boss, wouldn’t you know?”
“Yeah, but you’ve got a couple hours to spare.”
I Sigh and answer.
“Fine.”
“Alright, Great! Oh and uh, come wearing your armor.”
“What, why would I--”
He quickly interrupted me
“Alright, gotta go. See you in a few.”
I put down the phone and go get dressed into my armor.
About 5 minutes later, the Uber comes. I walk out of John’s house, and over to the elevator. When I walk into the elevator, two women stand there, in shock. They stare the whole way down. When we finally reach to their floor, I say goodbye and wave. They then proceed to chuckle. The elevator reaches the bottom, and I walk out. Then, even more, people proceed to stare. I walk out and into the Uber, and I have to say, it was a very...uncomfortable ride.
I finally reach the destination, and it’s a big building, about 10-15 stories high.
I say thank you to the man and get out of the car. I pull the phone out of my bag and call John.
He picks the phone up, tells me the floor, and hangs up.

The Team's new Lab, San Francisco.
1:05 AM
---------------------------------
I walk into the building and walk over to the front desk. The woman immediately recognizes me and hands me a card.
“Mr. Walker is waiting for you on the 15th floor.” She whispers.
I nod and walk over to the elevator. I click the button that reads “15”, and the elevator starts to speak. It says “Please insert card”. I do as it says, and it starts to move.
When I get to the top, it starts to speak again. “Welcome, Mr. Curry. Mr. Walker is waiting for you in the HQ.” I look around the elevator. New Headquarters? Sounds interesting. The doors open, and I see John working on some type of suit. There were a few tables with some stuff on. Like an Atlantean trident and helmet. There was also a scuba diving helmet and tank, along with a crate that was filled with weapons and stuff. The other table had some other stuff on it like a batting helmet and newspaper and coffee cup. John looks over to me, lifting up his safety goggles.
“Hey! It’s about time you got here.” He says with a smile on his face.
“Sorry i took long. What’s up with this?” i ask looking around.
“It’s the new HQ. My dad owns this whole building, and the whole 15th floor is private. So he gave it to me. ” he responds
“So your dad is a millionaire playboy? Sounds like the man in Gotham City.”
“Bruce Wayne? Nah. my dad’s not that rich. And he’s a businessman, not a playboy.”
“Wait, your dad knows you’re alive?”
“Huh? Yeah. Pretty much all of my family found out after Hal.”
“And you still take the name Walker?”
“Yep. I’m too used to it. Can’t get rid of it. Although I wanna start using the name Jordan.”
I look around, then spot a Robot sort of thing.
“What is that?” I ask, looking over to the Robot.
“Oh, that’s my new project, APEX. I’ve been working on him for a month or two now, but he’s up and working now,” he says
“Huh. Sounds Intriguing,” I Say.
“So how 'd ya like the place?” John says, gesturing around the whole room.
“It’s amazing. I especially love the view of the city, reminds me of Atlantis.” I say, looking out the window.
We hung out for a bit, John ordered pizza. We ate, then talked about Atlantis and when I would be going back. Then, John showed me how APEX worked.
“Alright, so you see these two bracelets like things I have on?” He asks putting both his arms up.
“Yes.”
“They can do many things, one of which is controlling APEX.” he says.
He lowers his hands.
“APEX, Awake.” he says looking over to APEX.
It takes a second or two, but he activates, and gets off his board, and speaks.
“Hello Mr. Jordan.” he says with a human-like voice.
“Hello APEX. How are you this afternoon?” John says, replying to the robot.
“I am doing good Sir. And you?”
“Great. I’d like you to meet Arthur Curry Jr. Arthur is a close friend of mine, and is also Aquaman, King of Atlantis.”
“Hello Mr. Curry, Welcome.”
I Respond.
“Hello.”
“Anyways Arthur, I've come up with a name for this base.”
“That is?”
“Atlan HQ”
I smirk.
“Oh and also, I hired Tula as a part of the team”
“Team?”
“Yeah. We’re a team. We’re Team Aquaman.” He responds
“Team Aquaman huh? Sounds like a team to me.”
“Yep.”

A mother feeding her Child in Shanghai, China.
The one-child policy (simplified Chinese: 计划生育政策; pinyin: jìhuà shēngyù zhèngcè; literally "policy of birth planning") is the population control policy of the People's Republic of China. The Chinese government refers to it under the official translation of family planning policy. It officially restricts the number of children married urban couples can have to one, although it allows exemptions for several cases, including rural couples, ethnic minorities, and parents without any siblings themselves.
A spokesperson of the Committee on the One-Child Policy has said that approximately 35.9% of China's population is currently subject to the one-child restriction. The policy does not apply to the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao.
