Homebrew Enhanced Species Details
Angelino stood, shifting from place to place, seemingly glitching at the end of the hallway. Xargor saw his brother twisting and writhing in agony as his body disappeared then reappeared in a new place. The cells in Angelino’s body were being ripped apart, then thrown back together again in a new place over and over. The pain was unimaginable.
Xargor had tried to help his brother, but he had just shrugged him off, telling him to stay away. There was something different about him, and not just this ‘glitching’ that was happening. Angelino just seemed different. He could barely recognise his own brother.
Enhanced humans, as their name implies, the enhanced gain their powers completely at random. Perhaps an ancient blood gift, just recently triggered, or a gift from the gods, enhanced have unimaginable power, taking fantasised abilities and placing them in reality. Some use their powers for good, some for evil, but still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.
Human form
Enhanced look almost exactly like humans, though they sometimes have a few alterations, due to their powers. The first few seemed normal, but after generations they started gaining slightly odd appearances. Their small differences are usually relating to their power, for example a flyer might have wings. They are generally the same size and height of humans, but some might be larger or heavier depending on their powers.

Ability names: Soar, Dash, Valiance, Pummel, etc.
