Amazons and Atlanteans

There is a fairly large notable change here. Neither society will be advanced with either magic or technology, but instead will have TL based on where they stopped interacting with society as a whole.

Amazon
The Amazons are a race of super women that live on an island nation of Themyscira. Men are not allowed on the island, and Amazons generally only interact with men when they venture forth for materials. As a society, Amazons tend to distrust men.

Amazons babies are always female. Amazons mature slowly (adult at 576) and begin aging rolls at 1600 years. Diana is the youngest of the Amazons at a youthful 500 years old and the only one of the last raiding/breeding adventure.

The Amazons effectively understand and have access to TL/4 technology. Amazons have a small but diverse matriarchal society, though outsiders mostly encounter Amazon warriors.

Amazon racial package
ST +20 (Super -10%) [180], HP -20 (Super -10%) [-36], IT:DR/5 (Super -10%) [113], Regeneration (Slow; Super -10%) [9], Intolerance (Men) [-5], Low TL (TL4)* [-20]. Total 241 points.

*TL4 and Intolerance (Men) comes from being raised on the island. Characters that adjust to modern society can buy off both. Wonder Woman does not have intolerance.

Atlantean
Atlanteans survive in caves of an island that collapsed into the depths of the North Atlantic ocean more than three thousand years ago.

The Atlanteans are TL/2 with domestication of several unique aquatic species. Atlanteans use mostly obsidian and bone weaponry.

Atlanteans are adapted to live deep in the Atlantic ocean. Negating abilities such as Doesn't Breath (Gills) negates the ability to breathe air. Atlanteans mature at half the rate of humans and live twice as long. There are several subspecies of Atlanteans.

Atlantean base racial package
ST +20 (Super -10%) [180], HP -20 (Super -10%) [-36], Enhanced Move 2 (Swim; Super -10%) [36], IT:DR/5 (Super -10%) [113], Regeneration (Slow; Super -10%) [9], Telecommunication (Telepathy; Racial -20%; Super -10%) [21], Ultravision (Super -10%). Cold Blooded [-5], and Low TL (TL2) [-30]. Atlantean have the features: Aquatic, Breathes Water, and Deep Water Dweller. Total 297 points.

Royal blooded Atlanteans also have Amphibious (Super -10%) [9], Doesn't Breath (Gills -50%, Super -10%) [8], Pressure Support 2 (Super -10%) [9], and a Dependency (Daily, must spend 1 hour per day in sea water) [-15]. Total 10 points.
