Racial Info
Atlanteans or Homo amphibios are an aquatic race of humans native to a sunken land mass in the Atlantean ocean located off of Europe. Though the race is now dispersed across the Atlantean ocean and there are some settlements in other parts of the world. Though to this day their birthplace. The city of Atlantis stands as their cultural and technological hub.

In the past Atlanteans were terrestrial humans. They have a long history of trading with and fighting various European nations. Most commonly they would come into contact with Rome and Greece and shared their general religious sphere.
However it was the Atlanteans that would be their own undoing. Civil war broke out and the country was left in a state of chaos. In the mix pirates would take advantage of the war and frequently raid the ports.

The war would eventually end with the invention of a weapon of some description. It is unclear as to the true nature of this weapon but it gave them the power to force the opposing forces to yield. This victory was short lived however when frequent tremors started to occur. It soon became apparent that the tremors weren't earthquakes but rather they were caused by the movement of the island itself. Their weapon destabilized the island and it was slowly sliding into the sea. Many fled in boats and those that refused to leave or found themselves without ease of access to ocean transport began working on an alternative. Gathering all the scholars and alchemists they could they began to research into an alternative means of survival. The thought being that if they could breath in water they would be safe from the collapse of their home.
As time moved on and the island continued to shrink other countries stopped approaching. fearing the island cursed aid became near nonexistent. And their hopes began to run dry until a breakthrough was made. An enchantment that would give them functional gills. The potion was distributed among the populouse who gradually moved off of the land and into the sea as their island crumbled away. Three years of tremors and shakes finally over in exchange for a new, alien home.

Nowadays Atlantean culture has become considerably unique. With art, science, magic and architecture practiced in ways unlike the surface world. Technology became one of their biggest hurdles since they had to waterproof it to prevent casualties of electrical failure. Through the combination of technology and magic they now have a system of power delivery safer than a large majority of surface countries.

In the modern day Atlanteans speak a heavily modernised form of latin. They also still follow a form of their old religious beliefs though this religion has changed a fair bit over time. Atlantis is now a popular tourist spot and modern atlantean homes are built to be dry and waterproof on the inside to accommodate the influx of country interaction.

Atlantis uses the Euro which they converted too after joining the European Union. This prompted circulation of plastic notes to combat the effects of degradation on the standard notes. However these days they have nearly abandoned physical currency in favour of eftpos and credit due simply to the convenience.

NOTE: The name sea monkey has often been used as a derogatory term for Atlanteans.
NOTE 2: Surface humans and Atlanteans can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. However their offspring lack functional gills.

Biology Info
Functionally Atlanteans are roughly the same as terrestrial humans albeit with some blood pressure differences primarily. The gills are the main quality which have in time become a permanent part of their genetic makeup.
Atlanteans can breathe both on land and in water but need to slowly transition to do so as breathing with their gills requires filling their lungs with sea water and breathing on the surface requires them to void their lungs of fluid. If either transition happens to fast they risk drowning or suffocating (though this is unlikely to happen unless forced through outside implements as the body regulates intake and output of sea water).

Aside from the gills some other prominent features have evolved naturally over time. They have a layer of blubber under their skin which is primarily responsible for their grey-purple skin tone, they have longer necks to help with water flow over their gills and internal fluid regulation and they have distinct pointed ears who's origin seems to lie in social favoritism of the feature. Viewing it as attractive which lead to its modern prominence.

Atlanteans are stronger than surface humans due to adapting to underwater pressure. They also have tougher skin but less stamina. In addition they lack the ability to sweat making them very vulnerable in hot, dry environments.

NOTE: Atlanteans have difficulty breathing in fresh water but otherwise it doesn't pose a problem for them.

Model Info
Here are some guidelines around creating a Atlanteans character for my universe

- Longer necks, pointed ears, gill flaps at the back of the jawbone, greyish-purple skin tone.

The gills use the fin ears from this pack.

And the ears are from here.
