Origins of Supers: How Did You Get Your Glow-Up?
How do Supers in the world of Generation Nova get their powers?
Was it a freak lab accident? A cosmic inheritance? A top-secret government program? Maybe they were just born this way...
In the world of Generation Nova, Supers fall into seven major classifications, based on the origin of their abilities:
🧪 AUCTREN - aka Augmented, Experimented, Enhanced
Born normal, made exceptional. These are your serums, your super-soldier projects, your "I signed up for a clinical trial and now I can lift a car" types.
👽 EXOGEN - aka Aliens, Extraterrestrials, Otherworldly
From beyond the stars… or somewhere even weirder. Whether they're cosmic royalty or just crash-landed exchange students, Exogens aren't from around here.
🔧 MECHAN- aka Engineers, Scientists, Gadgeteers
No powers? No problem. These tech-savvy minds build their way to super-status — powered armor, combat drones, jet boots and beyond.
🧬 METAGEN - aka Mutants, Metahumans, Evolved
Born different, or awakened by trauma, time, or tides of change. Powers are in their DNA — and sometimes a total surprise.
🤖 SYNTHARI - aka Robots, Androids, Automatons
Artificial life, real impact. From prototype AI to full-blown synthetic heroes, they’re wired for greatness (and maybe feelings?).
🔮 THAUMATRIX - aka Mystics, Magicians, Sorcerers
Magic is real, baby — and it’s chaotic. Whether it’s arcane study or cursed bloodlines, these Supers bend reality like it’s no big deal.
🎯VIRTREN - aka Elites, Specialists, Master
No powers, just peak human ability and relentless training. Think Olympic-tier parkour, martial arts mastery, or unshakable precision. Absolute icons.

📝 Note:
These classifications are used in official contexts — think scientific files, S.E.N.T.I.N.E.L. databases, and news reports.
Most teens in Solara Bay don’t casually say “I’m an Exogen” at lunch. You’re more likely to hear:
“He must've been like.. absolutely super serum'd.”
“She’s totally a techhead with zero chill.”
“That kid’s magic or cursed or something, IDK.”
So yeah — the terms are formal. The vibes are whatever you and your homies decide.
