A form of metahumanity that differs from baseline humans in that they have been augmented through the use of cybernetics, genetic manipulation, mutation, magic, or some other means. They are commonly considered, feared to be, or believe themselves to be the next stage in human evolution, albeit often from a artificial technological adaptation rather than random genetic chance.
