I don't have it outlined much but here's the gist:
So it'd be like a post-apocalyptic with a bunch of mutants and/or zombies which had taken over the world. Of course, people look for safe places to fortify themselves in.
One of these safe places was found in the depths of the Amazon jungle. The mutant undead have issues crossing water, and someone found a giant basin which waterfalls flowed into and lots of shiny stuff like that and a huge sequence of connected floating rocks and vines in the middle. It was home to a spectacular ghost city- empty plazas and streets and buildings, as well as fortifications. A mysterious new metal was found- lightweight but strong and proven to have magical properties. It matched almost exactly the ancient descriptions of Orichalcum.
People settled on this paradise, and it was named Atlantis. Soon, people began to wonder who caused this paradise to be formed. An expedition was made to climb to the highest and final rock spire mote thing, which no one had ever gotten to before. What the explorers found shocked them.
There was a huge plaza, with cobblestones of orichalcum and mother of pearl detailing the form of a nine-petaled lotus. Furthermore, there were eight ancient oriental-palace-style temples. Entering the only unlocked one- the central and largest- the explorers found a scroll detailing the laws of Atlantis.
Each temple was devoted to a certain star, whose power could be channeled by the humans. One human would be chosen as the Paragon/Centurion/I'llthinkofatitle of each star and the head of their temple. Normal weapons would not work within Atlantis, but swords and other weapons forged of orichalcum (which could be found in the surrounding basin) would work beautifully. One star which ruled all the others would chose the first Emperor of reborn Atlantis.
At first many were dubious. But when people started being selected as the Paragons/Cenuturions/Whatevers, slowly people began to realize that this was created for them by the stars or some shizzle like that.
Along came a man known only as the Headmaster. The brother of the Emperor, he decided to create a school to teach people to channel the power of the stars. Using heretofore unattempted magic, he raised an entire new spire, slightly disconnected from the rest and founded the Academy.
The RP would focus around the Academy and the politics of Atlantis. And fighting bad guys.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW SEE IT'S REALLY ROUGH
