The Seven Clans of Atlantis

The "Base" Atlantean

Rarity Level: Common

Special Attributes: long, flowing fins, unique to every merperson

Abilities: Varies, depending on the merperson

The most abundant beings in Atlantis, mermaids and mermen each receive a magical power unique to them. Their magic is often determined by personality traits, interests, strengths, and weaknesses. Specialized merpeople, such as kelpies and selkies, stem from these Atlanteans.

The "Ancient" Atlantean

Rarity Level: uncommon

Special Attributes: Betta-fish tails, often vibrant colors, glowing markings, horse-like ears

Abilities: Duplication and Potionmaking

Legend has it, kelpies were the first mythical creatures to settle into ancient Atlantis. Being one of the rarer legions, these unique merpeople stand out in both looks and magic.

The "Mysterious" Atlantean

Rarity Level: Rare

Special Attributes: Seal tails, which they shed to get human legs

Abilities: Vast range of spells and charms

Not much is known about the origins of the selkie, but legend has it they stemmed from Celtic roots. Selkies are the rarest type behind sirens. It's safe to say these enigmatic merpeople always have a trick up their scales...

The "Vibrant" Atlantean

Rarity Level: Common

Special Attributes: Neon, colorful fins and tails, golden irises 

Abilities: Lightning, super-speed, intangibility (rare skill)

Known for their zingy, excitable energy, nereids keep Atlantis on its toes. These types of merpeople usually make great guards or generals due to their lightning-quick reflexes and agility.

The "Spellbinding" Atlantean

Rarity Level: Common

Special Attributes: Scales that shimmer or dull depending on mood, deeply rooted in the natural world

Abilities: Influencing, invisibility, Mind-Targeting (rare skill)

Despite being common Atlanteans, nymph magic is anything but mundane. These merpeople can influence anyone around them to feel a certain emotion, sometimes using special chants to strengthen their power. While these sentiments are mostly positive (such as joy, peace, and determination) some particularly sinister nymphs have been known to evoke guilt or terror into the hearts of their victims. 

The "Feared" Atlantean

Rarity Level: Extremely Rare

Special Attributes: Large, pointy scales, billowing and flowery tails.

Abilities: Manipulating natural disasters, healing small wounds

Since the dawn of time, sirens have been viewed as menacing sea monsters. That is, until Madison arrived at Atlantis, determined to change the minds of everyone forever. Thanks to her and her friends, sirens are one step closer to being fully accepted as Atlanteans.

The "Forgotten" Atlantean

So little is known about these merpeople, even the High Governor himself is kept in the dark. Isolated and outcasted for centuries, nobody knows what kind of wicked scheme might be in the works of these former Atlanteans...
