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
