Far across the galaxy, in a solar system not yet discovered by mankind, the large water planet Aquarius slowly revolves around the large star Ustri. Our stories begin here, deep under the currents and swells of the surface all the way to the ocean floor, where life has managed to develop and grow. Humanoid like organisms with very distinct aquatic traits have managed to carve out their own civilizations in both areas where Ustri’s glare penetrates the water, and where it does not. Of these civilizations there are three that share claim to most of the waters:
Atlanteans: Mermen and women of impeccable skill and wisdom who mainly reside in their capital, Atlantis, with scattered colonies throughout the ocean. Their government most similarly resembles an aristocracy, of which the most powerful of the nobles comprise the Council of Avalon, the decision making body of Atlantis. Several other aquatic races also live within Atlantean society (a result of prior conquests by the Atlanteans) but are mostly considered inferior and “lower-class” to pure-blooded mermen. Of the three civilizations, Atlanteans are the most advanced technologically and culturally.
Nagas: Serpent-like and stoic fighters, the Nagas lay claim to the largest stretch of land underwater, all united under the leadership of King Ssivirus III, who resides in the Nagan capital Soma. Mandatory conscription is set in place for all Nagan citizens that turn the age of eighteen until the age of twenty one, contributing to the fact that the Nagan army is the biggest in the ocean. A militaristic society, the Nagas frequently raid Atlantean villages and Trenchen caves and groves for supplies.
Trenchens: Mostly comprised of deep sea creature humanoids, the Trenchens are a united civilization of outcasts, shunned by the Atlanteans and Nagas alike for usually either bizarre physical traits or harmful acts against their societies. Trenchen civilization is scattered, mostly concentrated in areas where Ustri’s light doesn’t shine, such as sprawling cave systems and coral reefs. Little is known about Trenchen society besides stories brought back from Nagan raiding parties of warriors clutching talismans and creating whirlpools and strong currents around them.
You are an individual brought into this perilous world. Will you make a name for yourself in the salty seas? Or will you be dragged out by the tide?
NOTES PLEASE READ
1. Water does not operate under the same physics as it does on Earth, which is why buildings are able to be built underwater.
2. Atlanteans are the most advanced, their technological and cultural equivalent would be the Renaissance time period.
3. Dice are 3d100
4. Dice roll results will (roughly) follow this format:
>1-2: Disaster, something very unfortunate will occur.
>3-20: Critical Failure, something bad will occur.
>21-40: Failure, nothing will occur.
>41-70: Success.
71-99: Critical Success, something very good will occur.
100: Boon, something incredibly fortunate will occur.
5. Skill Benefits will (roughly) follow this format:
>[Basic]-[Advanced]-[Expert]-[Master]-[Legendary]
>(+3)-(+5)-(+8)-(+10)-(+15)
6. Skill benefits cannot save you from a Disaster roll, and cannot grant you a Boon roll.

Born within the Nagan empire, her time under conscription honed her skills with discipline and order, favouring scimitars over the other weaponries.
However, there was some kind of mutation related to her that other Nagas notice: While she was normal when she was first conscripted, the few years of training grew her body above her peers, making her like a titan of sorts. Regardless, given her apparent loyalty to the Nagan Empire, only a few felt that she was a threat, as the rest had no major opinions against her, as she awaits deployment from her superiours against the Nagas' threats…

>Name: Count Alayzel Norphod
>Civilization: Atlantean
>Race: Atlantean, by far the most humanoid of the underwater species yet with webbed hands and feet, gills, and a lack of eyelids
>Origin Fluff:
Count Alayzel Norphod is an Atlantean Nobleman and a Knight of the realm.
He leads his band of soldiers in the continued state of strained tensions between Atlantis and the Naga. The Naga had numbers, a military society and the experience of war. But they lacked technology, and their magic was inferior.
To make up for their lack of numbers, the Atlanteans have strived to keep a technological edge on the battlefield, developing crystal rifles and cannonade, ensuring that for every one Atlantean that is killed two naga go down with him. As such they have had their smartest minds and oldest generals develop new styles of warfare, known as "Spike and Shot"
The principle is simple, Atleanteans armed with long pikes stand in close formations, whether on the bottom of the sea with spears aimed outward, or in the water with spears aimed in all directions. Other Atlanteans armed with the latest crystal rifles are able to fire at great distances or spread out and fire by ranks when the enemy is far away, or take cover under the pikes when threatened by the enemy. To support them, Atlantean artillery and cannonade is the finest in the world, manned by their own wizards they are able to use crystal magic to launch either solid round shot or coral grapeshot, or even the new explosive crystal shot which detonates into smaller deadly fragments that burn and render flesh.
These formations are called Tetraodontidae Tercios, and has helped keep the balance between the Naga's numerical superiority. The pike formations are keen to surround and protect their artillery in interlocking arcs of fire.
Count Alayzel is determined to ensure the survival of his country and his own soldiers, and lead them through glorious battle or if it comes to it, an honorable end.

>Name: Murkuz Rentfin
>Civilization (if applicable): Trenchen
>Race: Merrow (debased Naga)
>Origin Fluff:
Sallow, lurking and gruesome to behold, the Merrow were scarcely welcome in Atlantean society. Most fled persecution into the cold, murky waters of the Deepfathom, far beyond the control of the Council. Though ostensibly joined with the Trenchens, the Merrow keep to themselves, isolated even from a society of outcasts by their physical separation and the grotesqueries of their bodies and minds.
Murkuz is one such Merrow, a member of the Rentfin clan. He has no interest the life of the warrior or the leader, the mage or the hero. Self-centered, unscrupulous and brutally ambitious, Murkuz thinks only of personal wealth, and he deals in the most valuable currency of them all: knowledge.
In the dark meanders of the Deepfathom, information and rumor passes quickly. With the aid of a his Rentfin cohorts, Murkuz plots to develop a vast and far-reaching spy network. Secrets sell, and in these times of heightened tension and political intrigue, everyone's both a buyer and a mark.

>Name: G'rath of the Blackest deeps
>Civilization: Atlantean
>Race: Merman
>Origin Fluff: In the dregs of every society there lies the unmentionables, people so poor and downtrodden that they are better off ignored by the higher echolons of the people, for to gaze upon them, their filth, the sheer destitute nature of their very souls, would wrack them with a pain so deep as to splinter their very consciousness. There is one benefit to being born into squalor, however. It teaches one how to survive, or else they'll not make it past a month in the slums. G'rath is one of these beings, born into the poorest part of the Atlantean city of Avalon, he grew up quick and cold, he had to to survive. For his fifth birthday he buried his mother, the only person in this world who was ever kind to him. For his tenth birthday, he gutted a fishmonger for a meal. For his fifteenth birthday, we was recruited by a local gang to be their lookout for their operations. He developed many unsavory skills throughout his life as a result of his upbringing, and when he was finally caught, mere days before his scheduled execution, the Nagas, ever violent, attacked. Seeing his skills would be better put to use raiding naga supply lines and destroying their unprotected camps, he was pressed into service with the Atlantean military. After many bloody months, the Nagas stopped coming, apparently satisfied with their gains, though G'rath had gained quite a few Naga knuckle bones from the conflict, a treasure he keeps for each prey he slaughters. Not wanting a dangerous man and known criminal back in their streets, he was sent to spy on the Trenchens next, where he currently resides poised on the edge of one of their many lairs, staring at the deep, endless blackness below.

>Name: Murkuz Rentfin
>Civilization (if applicable): Trenchen
>Race: Merrow (debased Naga)
>Origin Fluff:
Sallow, lurking and gruesome to behold, the Merrow were scarcely welcome in Atlantean society. Most fled persecution into the cold, murky waters of the Deepfathom, far beyond the control of the Council. Though ostensibly joined with the Trenchens, the Merrow keep to themselves, isolated even from a society of outcasts by their physical separation and the grotesqueries of their bodies and minds.
Murkuz is one such Merrow, a member of the Rentfin clan. He has no interest the life of the warrior or the leader, the mage or the hero. Self-centered, unscrupulous and brutally ambitious, Murkuz thinks only of personal wealth, and he deals in the most valuable currency of them all: knowledge.
In the dark meanders of the Deepfathom, information and rumor passes quickly. With the aid of his Rentfin cohorts, Murkuz plots to develop a vast and far-reaching spy network. Secrets sell, and in these times of heightened tension and political intrigue, everyone's both a buyer and a mark.

>Name: Count Alayzel Norphod
>Civilization: Atlantean
>Race: Atlantean, by far the most humanoid of the underwater species yet with webbed hands and feet, gills, and a lack of eyelids
>Origin Fluff:
Count Alayzel Norphod is an Atlantean Nobleman and a Knight of the realm.
He leads his band of soldiers in the continued state of strained tensions between Atlantis and the Naga. The Naga had numbers, a military society and the experience of war. But they lacked technology, and their magic was inferior.
To make up for their lack of numbers, the Atlanteans have strived to keep a technological edge on the battlefield, developing crystal rifles and cannonade, ensuring that for every one Atlantean that is killed two naga go down with him. As such they have had their smartest minds and oldest generals develop new styles of warfare, known as "Spike and Shot"
The principle is simple, Atleanteans armed with long pikes stand in close formations, whether on the bottom of the sea with spears aimed outward, or in the water with spears aimed in all directions. Other Atlanteans armed with the latest crystal rifles are able to fire at great distances or spread out and fire by ranks when the enemy is far away, or take cover under the pikes when threatened by the enemy. To support them, Atlantean artillery and cannonade is the finest in the world, manned by their own wizards they are able to use crystal magic to launch either solid round shot or coral grapeshot, or even the new explosive crystal shot which detonates into smaller deadly fragments that burn and render flesh.
These formations are called Tetraodontidae Tercios, and has helped keep the balance between the Naga's numerical superiority. The pike formations are keen to surround and protect their artillery in interlocking arcs of fire.
Count Alayzel is determined to ensure the survival of his country and his own soldiers, and lead them through glorious battle or if it comes to it, an honorable end.

(as an aside damn you luch. serpentine naga are best naga.)
With the chainmail prepared I immediately begin preparing for our next raid. The atlanteans won't kill themselves and it is the best way to gain loot and fame+promotions.
1.2. Set about the barracks gathering those who would join me on a glorious raid. This will not be the average raid. Even a few serps can join. There will always be a need for frontline fodder and that's all they are good for.
3. Go to the provisions marshall. I am planning a big raid which means sneaking deeper into atlantean territory to get an untouched village
4. Seek out some of the veteran scouts. I will need one to help decide and guide us to our future bounty.

>Name: Cyrus the Wise
>Civilization (if applicable): Trenchen
>Race: "Changed" Atlantean
>Origin Fluff: Cyrus the Wise, formerly known as Cyrus the Foolhardy, was a respected Atlantean explorer, who specialized in the ruins of times long past, but was known for being headstrong. He would enter crevasses, without thinking about how he would get out. He often entered crumbling ruins, which could collapse if he made one wrong move. People acknowledged his expertise in the field. After all, he had mapped caverns and abysses which no Atlantean had ever heard of, much less seen. The treasures that he brought back from the ruins that he explored were justification enough for his pay grade. However, they also called him impulsive, imprudent, and oblivious to the danger that followed him. In the end, it was this trait that brought about a certain event, after which the Atlanteans though him lost. In a ruin as old as civilization itself, Cyrus plumbed the depths of the world. When he reached the cavernous complex's main chamber, he saw a light, something that he did not encounter often in his adventures (He could see fine without it.) It was a green crystal, the size of his forearm. From within it, a light shined, now soft, and now harsh. Surely, the crystal was deeply magical, and would win him much admiration and respect back home. He approached it, and hesitantly grabbed the crystal. He went to put it into his satchel, but found that he could not let it go. He waved his hand, in an effort to get it off, but the crystal responded by sending a massive pain up his arm. It began to shoot tendrils of green light up through his body. His veins began to glow a bright lime green, and his eyes began to sting from the light behind them. Slowly, the crystal dug itself into his body, distributing itself into his flesh and blood. His eyes were burned away by the light, and his tongue was split in two. His hair fell away, and his teeth sharpened to fangs. His hands became claws, his feet became talons, and his back hunched over and grew green bone spines. When his transformation was complete, Cyrus was blind, but could feel his changes, and knew that he was no longer himself. His body was not the only thing that had metamorphosed. His mind was geared to remember great and terrible things, long forgotten. Ancient magics and profane rites, buried with their creators. Like the name of a person, met once or twice, he could not remember them all, but they lay upon the tip of his tongue, waiting for him to delve into his subconscious and uncover them. With a great cry, he bellowed his despair and anguish. Suddenly, he could see again, if only for a while. He saw the lines of the cavern, and knew how close the surfaces were. Even after this tracing of the world faded, he could see the tiny creatures that patrolled this forgotten tomb of the ancients: shrimp, crabs, fish, and other such animals. He began to speak, experimentally, and found that when he made noise, he could see his surroundings. Eventually, he found his way out of the ruins, and went to the only place where he knew that he would be accepted. He went to the Trenchen's deeps. There, he found a grotto, where he shrouded himself with an old, tattered cloak, and hid, for many long years. After a little while, others began to come to his cave, after one Trenchen found him there. They asked him questions of life, philosophy, and magic, and he answered best he could, not knowing why he knew the answers to their questions. He felt their faces, and remembered their names. They brought him food, and a staff to lean on. Despite his stature, he could be quite swift, should he need to be, for short periods of time. With practice, he was able to "see" his surroundings with clicks and whistles, but loud noises clouded his vision. He learned a deal of magic from the forces within him, and one day, decided to venture out of his cave for the first time in many years.

You spend most of the day traversing the ocean floor in order to get to the edge of Tul-Hulla. Peering into its seemingly bottomless abyss makes your sigil throb painfully. Only after when you avert your gaze does the pain revert to a dull ache. In your glimpses it seemed as though the shadows at the bottom of the Tul-Hulla trench were…moving.
You spend some time attempting to reawken your frost magic. You manage to weave a small snowflake with your fingertips in the deep water. Progress!
>Basic Frost Magic 1/3
Wandering along the perimeter of Tul-Hulla at night, you happen upon the skeletal corpse of a snakelike creature. Based on the intricate detail on its armor and weaponry, you surmise that it must have been an elite warrior. Finding it dead does nothing to alleviate your worries of what could be at the bottom of Tul-Hulla. Nonetheless, you strip the corpse of its equipment. Luckily its armor fits you.

You pay a visit to some old treasure hunters and spelunkers that you used to adventure with back in the day. Most of them have either moved on to other occupations or long since retired in their old age, though you do garner what supplies they've had left stowed away.

In the afternoon you roam around the carnival that has set up in the Atlantis central square. All sorts of spectacles astonish you, ranging from electricity breathing seahorses to fearsome ocean bears. While munching on some candied seaweed a carnival tent catches your eye, “Baba’s Mystical Wares”. Curiously you wander in, and are astonished by the sheer number of artifacts on shelves lining the interior. Disappointingly enough you couldn’t afford anything in the tent, though you strike a conversation with Baba the Rock Crab in the back of the shop.
>Where did I get all of these wares? The Dragon Boneyard, you can find it here…
>Why am I telling you this?
The rock crab gives you a toothless grin.

Amidst talk of the mayoral election you hear a handful of rumors and small talk.
>Did you know the Thieves Guild may be setting up a new chapter in town? If they brought the black market with them we could be seeing many more travelers in Koom-Kabal. You didn’t hear this from me, but I heard Nukiam is gonna use them to try to rig the election in his favor.

News of your presence in Ssyurem is met with great celebration! Surprisingly most of the town consists of serpentine nagas, a rare anomaly. The most able-bodied of them all do all but throw themselves at your feet in order to join your company. Your mercenary band swells in size.

Slowly rising out of your trench, you peer out onto the ocean floor to see what tasty morsels you could satisfy your hunger with. Years spent in stasis at the bottom of a trench definitely builds up quite an appetite. It doesn't take you long to find a mother sperm whale and her child swimming through the current. You shoot out a quick force pulse to distract the mother while you sink your teeth into the child's blubber, dragging the young whale back to the abyss to feast. The grief-stricken mother lets out a series of guttural calls, warning other whales of your atrocity. You definitely didn't make any new friends today.

She managed to do well enough to reach a rank of Commander of her own battlion. Her future was assured.

-[Serpentine] Nagan society comprises of two types of Nagans, purebred bipedals and hybrid serpentines, with bipedals being more common. While your serpentine form grants you slightly better mobility than the average bipedal, you are looked down upon by most bipedals for being a mutt. You are considered inferior due to your body type, which is a big reason to why you couldn’t climb further up the Nagan military hierarchy.
>Bonus:
+[Former General] You skill and wits on the battlefield are unmatched by many within the oceans. Serpentine Nagans look up to you as their hero and idol. Your reputation is so great among the serpentines that when you resigned, several of your officers and most skilled soldiers resigned with you. You have gained their unflinching loyalty, and can easily recruit the likes of other serpentines for your new mercenary band.

1/2 - The first thing any good executive needs is a handful of devoted lackeys who will follow his will without question. Fortunately, the Rentfin name reaches far in this stinking chasm, and the Deepfathom lacks nothing in rogues, destitutes and ne'er-do-wells who'll do anything for the right employer. Agile and perceptive applicants preferred, those who can slink about as second nature.

3 - With or without lackeys, an information broker is nothing without, well, information. While the Deepfathom may not be a font of excitement, it's a place to start.

There is one benefit to being born into squalor, however. It teaches one how to survive, or else they'll not make it past a month in the slums. G'rath is one of these beings, born into the poorest part of the Atlantean city of Avalon, he grew up quick and cold, he had to to survive. For his fifth birthday he buried his mother, the only person in this world who was ever kind to him. For his tenth birthday, he gutted a fishmonger for a meal. For his fifteenth birthday, we was recruited by a local gang to be their lookout for their operations. He developed many unsavory skills throughout his life as a result of his upbringing, and when he was finally caught, mere days before his scheduled execution, the Nagas, ever violent, attacked. Seeing his skills would be better put to use raiding naga supply lines and destroying their unprotected camps, he was pressed into service with the Atlantean military. After many bloody months, the Nagas stopped coming, apparently satisfied with their gains, though G'rath had gained quite a few Naga knuckle bones from the conflict, a treasure he keeps for each prey he slaughters.

+[Master Sneaking] +10 Bonus
>Inventory:
+[Coral Armor {Lightweight}]
+[Balaclava]
+[5 Throwing Knives]
>Flaws/Defects:
-[Debt of Servitude] You've been given a second chance; instead of being executed for your crimes against Atlantean society, you've been pressed into service as punishment. You must continuously complete assigned missions for your higher-ups as they see fit, and failure will be met with swift punishment. You do have a chance of being released from your service, but that is a faraway light at the end of the tunnel.
>Bonus:
+[Resilient] You are naturally resistant to all forms of punishment, a result of living a harsh existence for most of your life. Injury, torture, and even magic must be dished out in plentiful and powerful amounts in order to break you. It is also more difficult for you to catch disease.
You begin on the edge of the entrance to the Deepfathom, an unforgiving and hazardous trench filled with all manners of criminals and villains. You're here to complete a reconnaissance mission, find out what big activities are being planned and report back to Atlantis with that information. Your identity must not be compromised.

>Name: Count Alayzel Norphod
>Civilization: Atlantean
>Race: Atlantean, by far the most humanoid of the underwater species yet with webbed hands and feet, gills, and a lack of eyelids
>Origin Fluff:
Count Alayzel Norphod is an Atlantean Nobleman and a Knight of the realm.
He leads his band of soldiers in the continued state of strained tensions between Atlantis and the Naga. The Naga had numbers, a military society and the experience of war. But they lacked technology, and their magic was inferior.
To make up for their lack of numbers, the Atlanteans have strived to keep a technological edge on the battlefield, developing crystal rifles and cannonade, ensuring that for every one Atlantean that is killed two naga go down with him. As such they have had their smartest minds and oldest generals develop new styles of warfare, known as "Spike and Shot"
The principle is simple, Atleanteans armed with long pikes stand in close formations, whether on the bottom of the sea with spears aimed outward, or in the water with spears aimed in all directions. Other Atlanteans armed with the latest crystal rifles are able to fire at great distances or spread out and fire by ranks when the enemy is far away, or take cover under the pikes when threatened by the enemy. To support them, Atlantean artillery and cannonade is the finest in the world, manned by their own wizards they are able to use crystal magic to launch either solid round shot or coral grapeshot, or even the new explosive crystal shot which detonates into smaller deadly fragments that burn and render flesh.
These formations are called Tetraodontidae Tercios, and has helped keep the balance between the Naga's numerical superiority. The pike formations are keen to surround and protect their artillery in interlocking arcs of fire.
Count Alayzel is determined to ensure the survival of his country and his own soldiers, and lead them through glorious battle or if it comes to it, an honorable end.
>Skills: +[Master Tactician] +10 Bonus
>Inventory:
+[Atlantean Crystal Rifle {Prototype}]
+[Atlantean Crystal Pike]
+[Atlantean Crystalline Armor]
>Flaws/Defects:
-[Warmonger] You are most at home on the battlefield with the corpses of your enemies surrounding you. Your passion for war has driven you to an obsession for creating new tactics, weapons, and techniques to thoroughly slaughter your enemy. Peace and surrender aren’t words in your vocabulary, And if you have no more enemies…you’ll make more.
>Bonus:
+[Great General] Your victories on the eastern front repelling the Nagan menace have granted you much respect in Atlantean society. You are regarded as one of the greatest generals in all of Atlantean history, giving you a considerable amount of influence over the affairs of your country. You also directly control a significant portion of the Atlantean military.
>Army:
+[100 Atlantean Spearmen]
+[50 Atlantean Seahorsemen]
+[50 Atlantean Archers]
+[25 Atlantean Royal Guards]
+[25 Atlantean Crystal Riflemen {Prototype}]
+[5 Crystal Cannons {Prototype}]
+[5 Atlantean Army Lieutenants]
+[1 Atlantean Army Captain]
1-2. Forward! Forward!
Raise high the flags and double time it to Perla at once! Perla could be under siege at any moment. Press the army to march at full pace, I myself shall step down upon my horse and help any man struggling. Set an example to get the army moving, and leave no man behind. Every man there is another able to fight.
Take heart men, a walk such as this will seem but a sleep compared to the strength needed for the push of pike!

3-4. Don't think just because you are on a horse, that you will be at ease. I want the Cavalry to train in skirmishing in formations while the army marches on.

>Name: Cyrus the Wise

>Race: "Changed" Atlantean
>Origin Fluff: {Had to cut because body was too long}
>Skills:
+[Master Arcane Magic] +10 Bonus
>Spellbook:
+[Crystal Beam] Coordinating with the magical crystalline spines on you back, you are able to amplify a normal arcane bolt into a more powerful version. This version of the regular arcane spell is much more precise and slightly more powerful, but will fatigue you more quickly with overuse.
+[Arcane Sword] Weave a floating sword out of pure magic that can attack and distract your foes. The sword can take a moderate amount of damage before shattering. Sustaining the sword for an extended period of time will quickly fatigue you.
+[Crystal Storm] Conjure sharp shards of green crystals to rain down from the sky and pierce your opponents. Does a minor to moderate amount of damage to creatures within a large area, and requires a significant amount of mental concentration.
>Inventory:
+[Tattered Cloak]
>Flaws/Defects:
-[Abomination] You are a mutant, an anomaly not yet understood by the majority of those that live under the oceans. As a living, breathing testament to why parents tell their children not to go exploring in deep, dark ruins, you will face a significant amount of persecution, judgement, and fear by most. You must always remain covered if you do not want to attract additional attention. And remember, the life of a pariah is one that is always fraught with danger.
-[Blind] You have lost your vision. Though you are unable to see, you are able to "see" your surroundings to a certain degree due to your other senses being amplified.
>Bonus:
+[Unstable Genome] The merging of the ancient magical crystal within your flesh brought with it the lasting effect of continuing to morph your body. Roll an additional 1d100 with each action post, which will determine whether you gain an additional mutation as well as how beneficial that mutation will be to you. The mutation gained will be influenced by your surroundings to a certain degree.
You begin outside of the cove where you've spent a significant portion of your life. You've learned from the people that have visited you that you are within Trenchen territory.
>You may now roll

1/2. The coolness of the world outside of my cave feels good. I've spent too much time there. So much, in fact, that I've forgotten how long it's been. A few exploratory clicks and sniffs should give me a good idea of my environment. Once I find the path that my visitors take, I can follow that to wherever it leads. I think it may be time to go on adventures again.
[Follow the path away from my cave]
3. My body is hunched, but not crippled. I can still move normally, but not as swiftly as I used to be able to. Some stretching and exercise could do me well. [Exercise]
4. Mutation roll (Amidoinitrite?)
