Fantasy New Atlantis Lore

Einstein said that he didn´t know what world war three would be fought with, but world war four with be fought with sticks and stones. Thing is, it wasn´t just him: No one could have predicted what happened. By the mid-twenty-first century, the expondencial growth of our technology led to some unbelievable discoveries, such as the hidden third DNA strain in the human body. It seemed to be dormant, and attempts to stimulate it where pratically futile, until one group managed to trigger the awakening of the first superhuman, humasn with greater bodies that sometimes developed abillities. It was surprisingly easy to do, and they began spreading, which in turn awakened something else that was hiding, the world of magic.
Long story short, there was one bloody war, leaving the world on the brink of turning into a full wasteland, until a group "The atlanteans", the descedent of the ancient civilization of Atlantis, pulled their country from under the sea and declared it the origin of the third strand, and brought all sides of the war into defeat.
With the world pratically destroyed, the Antlanteans connected their country to the surviving cities where people would gather to join their civilization. But the problem of keeping all the superpowerful beings from growing even stronger and with their anger overthrowing the ancient civilization once and for all. So instead, the superhero system was created, allowing anyone with the will to fight to work keeping the order in the cities or go out to defeat the monsters created by the side-effects of the war

Power types and the Atlantean Might
There are many origins for the several kinds of unique powers in the new Atlantean Society, but they can separated into seven categories in terms of origin:

1.Third Strand
Humans that possess an active third stran constitude most of the new society. Their powers come from the interaction of their thrid strand with the world around them.

2.Pure Atlantean Blood
Pure Atlanteans are gifted with mysterious unique powers similar to the third strand, and thought to be in it´s origin

3.Belonging to a certain Race
Particular races possessed many unique traits to them, some of which are still possessed by them even if the race´s powers are contained by the Atlantean restriction fields.

4. Magic
Some were capable of using a particular form of magic and spells, pratice which may still be kept to an extent

5. Psychic Powers
Some were born were natural psychic powers or develop some that allow them to stay for an after life on this Earth, becoming spirits or ghosts.

6. Idols
The atlantean idols are imbued with ancient unexplainble powers. Pleasing them with prayer may grant one blessings that become the source of their power

7. Special Tech
Sometime, tech alone can be someone´s power


The might of the Atlantean Society was based on the fact that they alone could wield all this power as one singular entity, super advanced, and thus no invidual group posed too much of a threat
