Welcome to the underwater world of Atlas
The project UWOA (Under Water World of Atlas), started because the earth as we knew it was crippling itself from mother nature. The continents began to move around, smog from Volcano's roamed the skies, animals, plants, and humans started to decay under the rules of mother nature and god himself.
Through the natural process of the world placing self destruction, nuclear warfare broke out amongst the crowds, and scientists raced to figure out how they could colonize space. These plans of colonizing space failed drastically and could not become realistic. In the rush to figure out how to save a diverse and decent amount of civilization, animal populations and species, plant-life, scientists and engineers figured out how to colonize underwater.
Everyone and everything that went down under the ocean's surface, agreed to never return to the top, though they did not care for everything was decaying anyways. Crookedness road into the Atlas project and the government that became entitled began to run Atlas without a second thought. In return of safety the majority of people did not complain, they had jobs, a new life, and had to move on.
Upon the creation of Atlas (or Atli for plural reference), the old governments brought down animals, plants, and humans to move civilization and life forward for the future. This was roughly 425 years ago.
Locations of Atlas
The Surface
Many things have been lost from the surface over the 400 plus years that people have lived down in Atlas. Though the government is keeping secrets of the surface from the individuals trapped underwater. Around 300 years ago, they could have deemed the surface to be live-able. Adapted humans, animals, and plants live along each other in a different civilization base than the people in Atlas.
A sense of magic came back to the world after the loss of critical information like nuclear weaponry, population, and technology on the surface.

The basic idea is that people will start either on the surface or underwater, people on both ends have began to speak about what happened to people who lived on the surface or who went under the surface. While the government underwater stops and goes so far to kill the individuals who try to discover the surface, the people of Atlas (or the group that wants to figure the truth out about the earths state) has to fight their way to freedom and to the top.
While the people who want to help, or figure out there are people down there are trying to enter Atlas. This is causing flooding, system failure, and many other issues which cause people (characters) to actually question if there is something trying to get in. This might spark the realization of other people who have lived outside of Atlas and on the surface.
I do not have the idea fully fleshed out, though I can say. If anybody wants to show interest or collaborate, feel free to leave a message below or PM me!
