I prefer to double~ (In any roleplay I end up doubling) Did you want to set this before the sinking of Atlantis or after Milo and the others visit or some time in between?

Well like I said, this idea is really inspired by the movie and doesn't really tie in with it. But if you wanted, I would say before. I was hoping for my girl to be the princess(life source) and yours to be an Atlantean male. Essentially what was I thinking for my female was when she was young, om of the Atlantean's started rebelling at the fact Atlantis got sunk and ended up killing the king and his wife, but not having the heart to kill the young princess, they get one of their gifted young Atlanteans(your male) to erase her memories so they could send her to the surface. Basically after that happened she has been living in the human society, not remembering anything of her past, and slowly after she was sent away, the crystals in Atlantis begin to loose their power because she is so far away from Atlantis. They don't really start to see the hangs until years later though and when they do, they decide they must bring her back and sends the boy who erased her memories in the first place to retrieve her. This is just kind of a basic outline XD We can fine tune it if need be. Now as for your female and my male, I'm cool with whatever ideas you have for that.

Oooh....I like that idea~ One thing I'd really like to include is the fact that the natives of Atlantis were gifted with longevity. 1. Your princess could keep a piece of her crystal, or since she is linked with the crystal she still has longevity on her side. After being sent to the surface she learns painfully that she isn't like everyone else (either due to her appearance due to her Atlantean heritage or the fact that she doesn't age normally). This could lead her to holding everyone at arms length throughout the ages but she meets your male and eventually they start a friendship or whatever even though she knows the outcome of such things. This not only gives us a bit more to our story but it brings in your male, who could get mixed up in everything as well. 2. I was thinking that after the deaths of the king and queen and the exile of the young princess, a new king (or queen) was chosen to rule Atlantis (since they'd need some form of a ruler). The new king/queen takes the talented young Atlantean boy as their own child and he becomes somewhat of a prince. His adoptive parent(s) gave him a slave-guard, one of mixed heritage (Atlanean and non-Atlantean) who slowly becomes the closest thing to a sister he has. His guard is chosen to accompany him to the surface in order to find the exiled princess. This is how my female would come in~ Now as far as plot things I think it'd also be kind of interesting if they only wanted the exiled princess for one thing - to bring stability back to the crystal. They know that the ones chosen to the crystal typically never return to the world of the living since they become part of the crystal itself. This does two things for us: gives motivation for not only restoring Atlantis to it's former glory but it also gives the new royal family a way to permanently end the former royal line without really having to do the dirty work. And it gives our characters a bit of conflict. My male and female know what the exiled princess if going to be used for, they just don't know that they are sending the princess to her death. They'd learn about that later since the elders of Atlantis would keep that secret from everyone and only a select few would know their true intentions. The current royal family is illegitimate and they can't send one of their own to the crystal since that person would be rejected. This gives us a bit of background with Atlantis since the current king/queen would declare that they were the true heirs to the throne but the former king and his wife stole it from them. We've got our bad guy right there...so that's all I got...

Ooooo, I like it. So your two know she is to stabilize the crystal, but they don't know how that is supposed to work. Perhaps they thin her just being there will stabilize it. Thats great. I think her Atlantean heritage would be the thing that would make her feel different. I can see them maybe aging normally until they reach a certain age for the sake of the rp that way she's not like 5 years old for 100 years haha XD maybe when they reach age 20 or 21 their aging slows dramatically tot he aging rate of those in the actual movie? How about my female, in being sent to the surface, gets put into foster care and moved around from place to place. And maybe in being in foster care is where she meets my male. After that they could get pretty close and she could essentially become her foster brother, the two getting moved around together because they refuse to be separated? And that last idea works as well, but I have to wonder what they pan to do about the crystal when she's gone? After all, that would be the end of their line if she were to die, so what would happen when the crystal needed stabilizing years later? Perhaps they think that will be past their time(when their dead) so they won't have to deal with it? Or maybe something else?

Hm. I was thinking that the current royals, with your female out of the way, would think that the crystal would have no choice but to select them as the next stabilizing force. The current royals _do_ have some royal blood in them but it's not much though; there is no difference between the current ruler and a non-royal (as far as the crystal is concerned). They come from a small, lesser noble house who are generations from the actual royal line. It's like the difference between you and a neighbor - you might share a common ancestor hundreds or thousands of years ago but you aren't related today. :3

Okay XD So they are really mislead and power hungry haha. Sounds good. Gives me some good ideas for the rp as well ;) Anyways who should start this and get the thread up?

Hm...I guess I can start us off if you want to make the thread? Also did you want to keep the looks of the Atlaneans? (White/blonde hair, dark skin, blue/black eyes, tattoos)

Sure. I'll get the thread up in a little bit. And I'm flexible on the looks. Personally I was hopinh\g to have mine be blonde but if you'd rather keep it white thats cool too.
