The faeborn are those fae in their family line. These fae genes activate
erratically, usually for one child in every three or four generations. The
chances of any of your direct family being active faeborn is astronomically
small, but it is possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to do.
There's also a decent chance that twins, both fraternal and identical will
share the trait if one has it.

Faeborn tend to be smaller in stature than most humans, and have more
delicate, elfin like features. They also tend to have a greater
predisposition towards mischief and often a bit less empathy for others
compared to most people. The faeborn tend to attract extremes in luck,
being far more likely to for instance win the lottery, but also more likely
to be wrongfully imprisoned. The faeborn's natural uncontrolled influence
on fate can sometimes be harnessed. If a faeborn is captured and held
prisoner by any person in any way, that person will benefit from greatly
improved luck for the duration of the captivity. The faeborn also won't
attract the same extremes in luck they normally would while held captive.
There are three basic types of faeborn latent, active and passive.

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

Passive Faeborn are almost entirely human, but they have the appearance of
faeborn attract the same extremes in luck and have a special type of blood
that's used in certain rituals.

Active Faeborn are passives usually until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very, very rare in people not living near the
Gate. As well as the effects of passive faeborns the Actives once they
activate have amazing and varied powers. Often gaining supernatural
strength, magical abilities or shape shifting skills.

Note: Faeborns are physically entirely human in appearance.
