In the year 5,000 humanity has survived a nuclear holocaust and escaped to the oceans where they have managed to thrive thanks to a symbiotic coral named Hyrdosteel. Since their transition to the seas life has changed. Now it is a fairly common practice to befriend sea creatures or tame wild and powerful ones for show. Technology has actually advanced greatly as has the species net understanding of the world around them.
Hyrdosteel
- Is a species of coral that can grow on a human from before birth if the mother has her own specimen
- Is symbiotic, benefitting humans (and other creatures) in many ways while feeding off of their eatings
- Also houses a colony of bacteria that perform various essential tasks
- Creates a thin layer around human skin, with a thin, opaque, semipermeable membrane in front of their face, protecting them from the pressures of the deep while also able to adjust to the shape of any headgear and cover it as well
Weaponry
- Boiler-blades are swords capable of reaching extremely high temperatures, boiling the water around the blade
- Aero-pistols function in a similar manner to the pistol shrimps claw, firing a super-pressurized bubble of air that bursts upon contact and delivers significant concussive damage
- Electro-projectors are wrist mounted gauntlets that fire invisible fields of electricity like some rays
Societies
- The Republic of New Atlantis is the capitol of the Atlantean empire, a very western style confederation
- No living humanoids have been discovered in the depths
- Various tribal groups live in relative harmony with the world around them
- Few explorers have dared venture out to dry land, all claiming to find terrifying beasts
- It has become increasingly apparent that there are a great number of intelligent beasts in the sea
