Demonborn Lore

The demonborn are a disparate group, while some are indeed the descendants
of human and demon couplings these are very rare, far more common are humans
who were affected by demonic forces while still in the womb. The result is
basically the same however, a human who is in some small part demon. The
demonborn tend to be physically stronger and hardier than most humans, also
with a much higher tolerance for heat. Many find themselves drawn to and
interested in fire as well. The demonborn are also infected with the innate
demonic sadism. They derive physical pleasure from the pain, discomfort or
unhappiness of others. While this isn't enough to make all of them turn
into psychopaths it does turn a lot and others tend to settle into some
lifestyle or profession that allows them to get their fix. They are
commonly found as dominatrixes or in pain oriented kinky relationships, or
in professions such as soldiers, police, criminals, or professional
fighters.

The blood of the demonborn is a potent mystical chemical accelerant. It
will augment any natural chemical reaction such as those of explosives. A
drop of blood into the gunpowder of a bullet can double its penetrative
power, while a glass of it can make any bomb much more deadly.

Today demonborn genes are erratic like other supernatural genes. Usually
activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of
your direct family also being active demonborn is astronomically small, but
it possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There's also a
decent chance that twins, both fraternal and identical will share the trait
if one has it.

Demonborn much like faeborn and angelborn can be either latent, passive or
active.

Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some
point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive.

Passive demonborns are mostly human but then tend to be a bit stronger and
hardier than most, have more tolerance for hot temperatures as well as
possessing the innate demonic sadism and the properties of their blood.

Active demonborns are passives until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very rare in people not living near the
Gate. As well as the effects of passive demonborns actives also gain other
supernatural powers.

Note: Demonborns are physically entirely human in appearance.
