Hook said in the finale that… “…then they shall walk the plank and pray the mermaids take pity on their SOULS…” I’m paraphrasing, but the keyword here is SOULS.
I’d been thinking in more simplistic terms, as RumplesGirl said, just along the lines of them drowning anyone they catch in the water, (setting it up for Ariel to be the exception to the rule when she actually saves someone from drowning instead). Hadn’t really focused on “souls” so specifically, was just thinking of it as a general term for “life”, but you bring up some interesting possibilities. I am hoping they make their version of The Little Mermaid a bit darker.
I’m thinking their is a lot of room for Ariel and Hook to be a couple. He could be playing the role of her prince. Possibly.
Google “Hookriel” and you’ll see that there are already quite a few people out there shipping them. I’d love for it to happen!

As to the father figure for LM/Ariel: Poseidon/Neptune is possible. Triton, from the movie, already bears resemblance to the idea of a water god and in the TV series he is called the son of Poseidon.
Just keeping his name as Triton would be a nod to the Greek god. Ariel’s father had no name in the Anderson version, (none of the characters actually had names, if memory serves), but Triton was a good name for Disney to give him. We’ve already had Midas in the Onceiverse, so why not the son of Poseidon as well.

As to Atlantis: maybe? But that seems a bit much for one season that already has PP mythology and now possible The LM mythology. Remember, the biggest complaint this season was that H and K took too many toys out of the box. They need to be more concise in the future.
Actually delving into specific Atlantis history could be something they don’t have room for right now, but I could see them maybe naming Triton’s realm Atlantis. What better place to have a mythical, sunken island, than in the same world as a mythical island where time stands still.
