I HAVE FINISHED CHAPTER 2‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Hi Will! How did Anya get involved with ERGO? She seems kind of on the young side, is she new to the program or get involved earlier somehow? Can you be an Enhanced and work for ERGO? Is ERGO top secret or is it a known branch of the government?

Hey!!!!!! Thanks so much for the ask!!!

First of all; you mentioned the name in a rb sooooooo

What does it stand for?

ERGO stands for the Enhanced Regulation and Global Oversight department!! Aka ya boi rly rly wanted a fun cool acronym T-T

Is it known by the public or unknown?

ERGO is both known and unknown. A lot of people know of it, they know it’s a branch of the government that was made to deal with the enhanced, though no one knows exactly what it is that happens there. It’s safer that way, best to not put a target on their backs, a lot of people have it out for enhanced people.

Can you be Enhanced and work for ERGO?

Yes! The majority of ERGO’s members are enhanced!!! Including their acting director, retired hero Gray Adler (hero name placebo). Though there are a few non enhanced members, including Kyra (character in act 2 :3)

How did Anya get involved?

Okay okay so in the city where this is set (setting intros coming soon!) anti-enhanced riots are pretty common and a really bad one broke out and while trying to contain it, Gray got injured! They took a back road trying to get back to the liek main building or whatever

Enter 18 y/o!Anya, walking home from class and using that same back road to get there quicker! She’s jsut innocently going about her day and boom she’s face to face with one of her favorite hero’s who is injured.

Prolonged eye contact ✨

And then Anya goes and heals them (bc that’s her enhancement! Yippee!!)

Gray: ‘oh wow that is a very useful power uh. want a job?’

Anya: ‘…sure?’

Gray: ‘ur mine now’

And now Anya’s their second favorite recruit! (jsut behind Kyra, who Gray has been fighting to adopt for years lmao)

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

Title ✨

I like to have multiple projects running at the same time !!! Whenever I get stuck on one, hop over to the other and keep going!!!!! It helps keep the brain juices flowing and stops me from getting tired of a story!! :3

As for sharing what I’ve written… all I have to say is keep an eye out!!! My tag list is very very open so please let me know if you’d like to be notified when chapters begin to post!!!!!

See yall here next month, this was a blast!!!

Whatever it is, share a link. Or a link to something else you’d like to give attention to. (remember to share others’ links!)

This is the promo post.

PROMOTE YOURSELF.

DO EET.

SHOW ME THOSE LINKS.

Hope you had fun and I’ll see you again next month!

OOOHHH OK OK OK SO

Favorite worldbuilding: ERGO! Its history and founding, its members, all of it!!!!! A long post abt it is coming very very soon don’t yall worry! (Tag list is open for anyone who wants to be notified!)

Least favorite worldbuilding: the fact that the city still doesn’t have a freakin nameeee UGH

Random fact: ERGO’s working leader, retired hero Gray Adler’s hero name was Placebo which I think is very fun. Basically their power is enhancing other peoples enhancements, and they got a lot of backlash as a young hero for being a useless hero and just a ‘human Placebo’. Sooooo they embraced that! And now it’s their hero name !!!!!!!!

Gonna rb this on BOTH my accs talking abt each of my characters moms hehehehehehhee

Okay okay so!

Charlie had a relatively good relationship with her mom, until she was kidnapped and later escaped only to find out that her parents were already dead. She doesn’t believe that it was an accident.

Anya is probably my favorite answer to this question!!! Her parents died in a car crash when she was 12. She was catapulted into the foster system for a few months, before finally landing with the Henare family—a pair of Polynesian immigrants and their only son, Kai. She lived with them for a while, and eventually? They adopted her. Anya is very, very close with her adopted mother, and is so grateful for her little family.

Adam…. Killed his mom. His powers, fire, went haywire when he was 13 and he accidentally set fire to his childhood home. He was the only one who made it out, due to his body being more resistant to the flames. He will never forgive himself.

Robyn despises his mother. His parents threw him out at the first sign of his enhancement. As soon as those tiny wings sprouted out of his back, he was tossed out like garbage. He grew up on the streets, surviving on only his wits and

Kyra has no idea who her mom is. She didn’t even sure her and her two brothers have the same mom, given her father’s… promiscuous nature.

As you're writing what you've stated is a very old story, has a lot changed since you began it? If so, what's the biggest thing?

Heya!!!!

Not a lot has changed to be perfectly honest, the plot is still mostly the same, and the characters have only been expanded upon!

I guess some of the larger changes have been to the story from a conflict standpoint. When I was a kid I was a more novice writer with no concept for what made a good, compelling story. There was literally no overarching conflict lol

But now there are MULTIPLE conflicts external and internal (some I cannot disclose for spoiler reasons) that compile onto each other for a fun story!!!!!!!

I’ve also added some characters! For example Adam and Robyn used to be love interests.. and now Adam has a wonderful gf Kyra and Robyn is aroace!

Since today is Mother’s Day, here’s a snippet from chapter three !!!!!!

She remembered when she was younger, a scared teenager who’d been ripped away from everything she’d ever known, and placed with a bunch of strangers. When she had nightmares, her mom—well, foster mom at that time—would make her a mug of warm hot chocolate and sit with her until she felt better. The only sound would be the woman’s humming and the occasional sniffle of a very confused twelve year old who had no idea what was going to come of her.

It was funny, the fact that she now recalled those as fond memories, considered those ‘strangers’ family more so then even the one she’d lost.
