Alertness: He has decent senses. He can see underwater as if it were a perfectly clear day.
Physical: He trained with the royal guard, as all members of the Eskil Line are expected to do. he is a trained warrior, using Atlantean martial arts, which are rather unique to the nation. He is also trained with blades, weighted nets, and tridents. His style is primarily meant to be used underwater. however, Atlanteans have fought on the surface as well (Usually in secret), so certain techniques can be used on land with ease. The style is fluid and fast and graceful, and while it can hurt it focuses more on defense…just like Atlantean culture. While there are certain branches of the style that focuses on more violent and aggressive moves (Created by the newer factions who want Atlantis to lean towards a more violent future) he has not studied them much…yet.
Energy: Most Atlanteans are simply more physically capable and aquatic versions of humans. The chosen of Atlantis, however, gains other abilities from the Reef. He can control water to the point of making it sail through the air, form walls, smash into people, liquidate or solidify, form weaponry or armor, etc. He can even effect the water in a persons body, causing damage by simply yanking it about or drying it up. He would rarely ever do that, though, since it is far too brutal for him. This is also for the weather control that comes from the Reef. He can blast people with wind, or call down lightning from a storm, or batter them with hail.
Durability: He can survive at extreme levels of pressure, and can survive sudden shiftings in pressure with no effect. He could launch himself from the bottom of the sea, up to the surface and suffer no ill effect. He can also deal with the insane cold from it with no bother. His skin is also more dense then most people. bullets will still mess him up, but they are more likely to leave nasty bruises and lacerations then actually puncture him, and blades with cut but also likely snap. It is hard to break through to really kill him.
Literature: One of the things he enjoys about the surface world is reading. He is a big fan of human literature, and is getting more and more into it.
Super Strength: All Atlanteans can lift around 1350 lbs (Str 2), but as the Chosen of the Reef, he can lift around 6 tons. he can tear through the hull of a ship if he needed to.
Swimming: He can tear through the water at roughly eight hundred or so miles per hour. He can maneuver with ease as well, dodging left and right and performing complex moves at high speeds. Underwater he can move much like a person, swiming and kicking like a normal person on the surface. He can do things like swim up at high speeds and launch himself out of the water, landing several stories up with ease.
Water Breathing: As an Atlantean he can breath water the same as air. They have no need of gills, as it is a magical effect.
Weather Control: As the Chosen of the Reef he can control the weather. he can summon fog or storms or tornadoes. He can calm a storm or create a torrential downpour. He can build up the wind to degrees that could tear down a building, and direct said effects to focus primarily on a person. If he summons a storm or there already is one he can call down lightning and hit a specific target. To create major effects takes time, though. He can summon a storm on a cloudless day in about an hour of intense concentration, but altering a cloudy day into a major storm takes less, etc.
Healing: As an Atlantean he heals a little faster then a human. he can heal a badly broken bone in about 2 weeks and 5 days (Instead of 8 weeks).
Marine Control: All Atlanteans can control the minds of marine life to a minor degree, but as the Chosen of the Reef he can do incredible things. He can control the movements of schools of fish, or summon sharks to attack or defend him. He can convince swordfish to leap from the water to skewer an enemy, or for a whale to ram a ship. There are older, massive things that dwell in the deep, and with enough work he can guide them as well. Pushed to real power, this is a terrifying ability, and one of the main benefits of being the Chosen.
Surfing: He loves surfing, and is very good at it!
Underwater Communication: As it is hard to talk underwater, Atlanteans communicate via a minor form of telepathy. They can project conversation int a mind, and hear the conversation thought back at them. they CANNOT read thoughts not directly pushed towards them as conversation, nor can they sense people through this, etc. It is just communication, though it does bridge any language barrier, and can be used up to twenty or so miles.
Water Control: Thanks to being the Chosen of the Reef, he has control over water, much like he does the storm. He can effect any water he can sense (And he can sense up to about 100 yards away at his current level). He can force it to flow unnaturally through the air, harden to be as strong as steel, form weapons or armor that is as strong as steel but as light as water. He can create barriers, or slam into people with it. He can cause it to lift him and set him somewhere, or rocket him somewhere normally our of reach. It is a verstile power that is growing more versitle as he works on it. He is also learning how to control the water in somebodies body, drying it up or pulling at it to cause severe damage…but he avoids doing this.
Prince Loren is the youngest sonf of the Royal house of Eskil, which has ruled Atlantis for the last several millenia. Atlantis was once a proud island nation in the mythic age of man, but its own hubris and a massice earthquake sunk it beneath the waves. Amidst the horror they were contacted by a supernatural force at the bottom of the sea known as The Reef. The Reef is just that…a massive underwater Reef that is the spirit of the sea both in metaphor and physical form. It offered the Atlanteans a new life, and they took it. Since then they have shrunk from controlling most of the ocean to now only controlling a roughly Russia sized swath of seat in the Altantic (Beneath and around Hawaii for a rough idea). The capital has moved a few times over the millenia, as they lost ground to the Merfolk and other underwater races or situations.
Each generation one of the Royal Line has become the Chosen of the Reef, serving as its ambassador and warrior to the Altanteans and others. Usually it is not the heir. This generation it fell to the youngest son, Loren. he became the Chosen only a year ago, at 15, and has been trying to come to terms with it. The Reef does not forcefully guide you, but gives you nudges and lets you decide what it really wants. One of the things he has decided the Reef wants is to reveal full existance of their nation to the surface and to understand humans. To do this he has manage to enroll in the school. Meanwhile, factions in Atlantis push to overthrow and cause them to become more warlike and go to war with other underwater races ant the surface.
