Lost Child

An uncommon mutation that can occur among Monsters and tainted members of the Races of Men, which results in the latter being Monsters rather than Men, individuals with this characteristic are a type of Outsider that superficially appears as a normal, albeit more intelligent, charming, and limber member of its species that has been afflicted with pronounced neotany. Lost Children cease physical development during puberty, usually in the middle or early stages, rendering them emotionally and physically juvenile, even when intellectually mature. They are also notable for possessing digits capable of functioning as claws and a range of magical abilities, mostly oriented towards manipulating the minds of others or corrupting their surroundings, determined by their overall quantity and control over their Mana. One of the most potent and insidious of these is their capacity to magically ingratiate and influence a chosen target over time, usually as a means of controlling a parent or prospective mate.
The Monster Lord of the species is a daughter of the current Overlord and ruler of Fantasia, Victoria. She has notably afflicted individuals who have this mutation with a form of selective amnesia as a means of protecting them from the frustration that comes from never being able to properly grow up... and to help them cope with being targeted by sexual predators among the Races of Men.
