IT IS DONE! And, hopefully, I'll wrap up Doreen's first storyline here in one or two more posts. Mainly though, just happy I finally pushed that one out...
Looking forward to seeing everyone's stuff moving forward, and even moreso once I'll be open to some potential collaborations! I promise I won't make them as wordy as my solo posts
I'm working on an application that will merge DC and Marvel's versions of Atlantis.
Before I get too far, has anyone made any references to Atlantis, Namor, or Aquaman? My searches of the topic have only brought up that @Retired might have ideas (or have had ideas) early in the OOC, but that appears to be it. But I wanted to ask in case I'm about to step on any toes.
Sep firmly on the other side of 'Quality Over Quantity'
Why not both?

GARTH OF SHAYERIS ♦ PRINCE OF IDYLLS ♦ ATLANTIC OCEAN
O R I G I N S:
The son of King Thar of Shayeris and Queen Berra of Crastinus, Garth represents the new hope that is the United Kingdom of Shayeris and Crastinus, one of the twelve undersea kingdoms that comprise Poseidonis. Under the tutelage of the High Mage, Vulko, Garth is coming of age in a realm of magic that stands in firm opposition to Venturia’s warmongering. This has thrust the boy into the midst of undersea politics he doesn’t yet understand, as his uncle, Slizzath, conspires to bring about events that will propel him to power at great cost to life both above and below the surface.
As the United States prepares to sink the aircraft carrier USS Trafalgar with the stated goal of creating an artificial reef, events are set into motion that will upend Garth’s royal life and ask the question of whether one boy alone can stop the tide of war with the surface.

THE UNITED KINGDOM OF SHAYERIS & CRASTINUS The Hamlet of Thierna na Oge
There was so much blood in the water.
At first, he’d thought that it was just sediment. The visibility around the tremendous impact sending hundreds of pounds up from the ocean floor to create a veritable fog in which the boy could no longer see the hand in front of his face.
It was a quick and sobering realization that debris was not the only thing floating around him. Luckily, the cold waters around him stole away his tears as quickly as they sprang.
Taking a deep breath, the youth steeled himself. Even without his sight, the boy’s sense of location could pick out each of the guards around him in turn. “What are you standing around me for?”
From the murky blackness the thoughts of the man-at-arms was quick to answer, “Your Highness, it isn’t safe!”
“Yes, and our people need your protection,”the boy charged
He could feel the guards checking in with one another. After an awkward silence, a voice finally offered, “I’ll stay with the prince.”
The boy gave a sigh of relief, releasing a breath he’d held in anticipation of being dragged back to Shayeris and thrown into a room. To wait around with tutors while others did the work that needed to be done.
Or worse, catered to him when that attention was needed elsewhere.
“With me,” the boy said, not wanting to yield for even a second when it seemed the hand had loosened on the reigns that sought to tether him to a throne that was not yet his.
N O T E S:
Tha-Korr is King of Atlantis, but I will make no references to Fen or Atlanna, so the royal family of Atlantis is free to be interpreted by anyone who may wish to pick up Arthur/Orin or Namor. Similarly, I will make no reference to Tom Curry, Amnesty Bay, Nereus, Mera, or Xebel.
I have no plans to introduce Black Manta, so if anyone wants to use him and/or introduce a version of Khaldur'am/Jackson Hyde, they're free to do so.
Planned Rogue Gallery is Slizzath and Attuma for the undersea side of the plot, and Dr. Dorcas and the Scavenger for the surface side of the plot. Future plots may also use Suma-Ket, the Dead King, and the Unforgiven Dead.
Surface side plot involves Beachrock, Massachusetts.
Support Cast: Deputy Wilson, McCaffey, Quisp (Silver Age version), Mar (Alpha Flight)
"The Brine" people refers to Marvel's Plodex race in this merged undersea-verse.

This makes my life so much easier, honestly. One of the FF's first big adventures is going to be an expedition to Atlantis, and working out how the politics of two blended versions would work, what with both Orin and Namor, was tricky. You being in control over all that is a lot off my plate once I get to that point.
I was gonna work on my post but things are happening
