AtroposDay

I am planning to write a book series that takes in elements of scifi, fantasy, supernatural, and some romance.

The first book of it is set in Atlantis. You all probably know the story. But I am attempting to do something rather original, while borrowing a good amount of information from this psychic I've researched (for the story) named Edgar Cayce. He gives quite original info about it, and while it may not be exactly correct, I am willing to use this as a sort of base to kick off my story, which quickly leaves Atlantis after the first book in which it sinks, but the plot somewhat returns to it now and then (especially in the second to last book, as planned).

I was just wondering if any of you have any idea if this has been used a lot in the past, and where exactly. I just wanna make sure I don't repeat someone else's ideas, or basic information.

I can provide more information if you wish to.

Hm... I dunno. Maybe if you give some more info.
Im currently writing a novel with Fantasy and Supernatural and im pretty sure noone els has done it before. Its about my hobby: Tigers, and if there would be something like that out there im sure I would have known.

So... maybe do some more researsh on it... it might help.

The novel/series that I am writing is just set in Atlantis, but it is a good starting point. The main character (Chaudra) is what some Biblical texts call a "nephilim" or a son by the union of an angel and a human being, or a giant. He's not gigantic in statue, just... taller than the average human, as are all Atlanteans. That theme in itself is not really delved into, since I leave it up to future books within the series to develop to the fullest.

At any rate, the political nature of Atlantis' status as the story opens (perhaps a month or so before its "sinking") is very precarious. There are no more kings since 15 years ago the Council used the social unrest caused by a prophet-priest called Ryo (who saw and spoke of the sinking of Atlantis from a vision) to reduce them to a figure-head position only. However, the Priesthood (something akin to Christianity, but... better) still remains a formidable "foe" to the Council, who naturally want to control all of Atlantis. For the last 15 years the Priesthood has been receeding from their public stage, leaving it mostly to the Council, and begun recruiting the help of exceptionally psychic individuals (most Atlanteans were psychic in my story, though in very small versions) in order to help them fight a future civil war that is brewing nonetheless (and the King whose power was reduced is entirely supportive of the Priesthood). However, the Council is not dumb and has been preparing their own plans to finally crush the Priesthood and the King and become supreme rulers. At the same time, they are being influenced by semi-immortal entities known as the "Patres" who were exiled thousands of years ago from Atlantis after THEY tried to take over (the Council was created to pacify their "children" who were left behind, but who slowly followed in their father's examples and gained power exponentially until this moment). Even as this happens, Ryo returns from his exile (which is how the Council got rid of him after they siezed power 15 years ago) under the protection of the Priesthood, in order to complete and finalize their "superhuman" army (which is more like a few dozens), he is also given the choice to lead this "army." But, since he originally sought to get rid of the Priesthood (whom he saw as the ones guilty for Atlantis' future sinking, still pending) he refuses outright and hands the position to the unwitting, unwilling Chaudra.

Well, better not tell the entire story... I probably said more than enough! Gtg!
