As You're Writing What You've Stated Is A Very Old Story, Has A Lot Changed Since You Began It? If So,

What made you decide to call your characters "Enhanced" instead of something like "superpowered" or "mages" or something else?

Oooooh love this question!

I knew I didn’t what to drift too far into high fantasy from the real world because I specifically wanted to have this story be more in the realistic side, which crosses of ‘mage’s’ and anything adjacent for me bc that feels like a staple of fantasy worlds

And ‘superpowers’ just feels…. overused, I guess? And it implies that it’s something supernatural (at least to me)

And in this, it isn’t! It’s more of like a… genetic anomaly thingy????? Longer lore post at it is coming soon

So I wanted something with less of a fantastical or overused connotation, I wanted something to make this story stand out

Cut to me working on a character profile for someone, and writing his powers:

‘Enhanced speed, enhanced strength—‘

HEY! That works!

And boom

Yup….,,

If there’s one thing I learned since I signed up on 4/23/25, 9:44:50 PM, it’s that #enhanced: updates takes up too much of my time.

fun fact: essays are actually the best form of writing

Okay, new poll since I’m almost done w chapter 1!!!!

Do you guys want me to post chapters as I write them (much more sporadic schedule but you’d get the first chapter sooner); or wait until I’ve written a good amount to post with a more specific schedule (new chapter every week-ish)?

I’m leaving towards waiting because it’s exam season and I don’t want y’all to have to wait for the next chapter for a while yk????

Anya appearence 19 and weather 13

19 - If your character had to get a tattoo what would it be?

Ooohh.. Probably like, her brother's birthday or something. She's very very family oriented so it'd definitely be something for one of them, but I'm not sure what exactly, maybe i'll think of somth and make it canon eventually :3

13 - What element best represents your character?

Hm.. probably like Light (is that an element in this sense?????) or something, just cause it gives her vibe
