Far more common are humans<br \/>who were affected by demonic forces while still in the womb. The result is<br \/>basically the same however, a human who is in some small part demon. The<br \/>demonborn tend to be physically stronger and hardier than most humans, also<br \/>with a much higher tolerance for heat. Many find themselves drawn to and<br \/>interested in fire as well. The demonborn are also infected with the innate<br \/>demonic sadism. They derive pleasure from the pain, discomfort or<br \/>unhappiness of others. While this isn&#8217;t enough to make all of them behave like<br \/>psychopaths, many do, while others tend to settle into some<br \/>lifestyle or profession that allows them to get their fix. They are<br \/>commonly found as dominatrixes or in pain-oriented kinky relationships, or<br \/>in professions such as the military, law enforcement, violent crime, or combat<br \/>sports.<\/p>\n<p>The blood of the demonborn is a potent, mystical chemical accelerant. It<br \/>will augment any natural chemical reaction such as those of explosives. A<br \/>drop of blood into the gunpowder of a bullet can double its penetrative<br \/>power, while a glass of it can make any bomb much more deadly.<\/p>\n<p>Today demonborn genes are erratic like other supernatural genes, usually<br \/>activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of<br \/>your direct family also being active demonborn is astronomically small, but<br \/>it is possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There&#8217;s also a<br \/>decent chance that twins, whether fraternal or identical, will share the trait<br \/>if one has it.<\/p>\n<p>Demonborn much like faeborn and angelborn can be either latent, passive or<br \/>active.<\/p>\n<p>Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some<br \/>point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will<br \/>become either active or passive.<\/p>\n<p>Passive demonborn are mostly human, but tend to be a bit stronger and<br \/>hardier than most, have more tolerance for hot temperatures as well as<br \/>possessing innate demonic sadism and the properties of their blood.<\/p>\n<p>Active demonborn are passives until around the end of puberty, usually<br \/>seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate<br \/>later in life, although this is very rare in people not living near New Haven.<br \/>As well as the effects of passive demonborn, actives may also gain other<br \/>supernatural powers.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Demonborns are physically entirely human in appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Also Read: Help Demonborn Mechanics The demonborn are a disparate group, while some are indeed the descendantsof human and demon couplings, these are very rare.
