Pagan Bloodline

A Pagan Bloodline is any Bloodline whose origin can be traced back to a Pagan God or Goddess. Pagan Bloodlines were quite common throughout the ancient world, with many of history's great heroes believed to have been spawned by the gods. However, they are more of a novelty than a fact in the modern age.
Pagan Bloodlines are associated with the Order of Pagans and those who are born into such a Bloodline has a significantly raised chance of being inducted into the Order.
== Facts: ==
-Members of a Pagan Bloodline will be powerful magick-users. Most of them do not have to learn complex forms of magick to call extra-dimensional powers to themselves, they merely have to reach within to summon the latent powers within their own blood.
-Members of a Pagan Bloodline are often noted for possessing great physical beauty.
-The most famous member of a Pagan Bloodline is probably the ancient Greek hero Hercules who the Order of Pagans claims as a member.
-Naturally, the average Pagan God will be favorable towards any of his or her's descendants. Many Pagan Gods will keep a close eye on their Bloodline or may even act as the head of the family.
-Curiously, a member of a Pagan Bloodline need not be religiously pagan themselves. There have been several accounts of someone, sometimes even Adepts, discovering their heathen ancestry. Such situations make for great stories, especially if the Pagan God decides to involve themselves in the Adept's life.
-Pagan Bloodlines are often affiliated with the Heathen Order and may act as allies, sometimes even serving alongside Pagan Adepts. Many Pagan Bloodlines are landed families with wealth and estates and they acquire much of this through their alliance with the Pagans.
-Pagan Adepts can usually find help and succor with the local branch of the Pagan Bloodlines.
-Members of a Pagan Bloodline may acquire some minor supernatural powers, usually exhibiting powers associated with the Pagan God that spawned the Bloodline. Indian Pagans who claim descent from the goddess Kali frequently have powers over the dead and the forces of death.
-The closer the Bloodline member is to their Pagan God founder, the more potent will be the powers they acquire. Pagan Bloodlines do wither away over the course of centuries.
-To prevent this withering effect, many Pagan Bloodlines actively seek out new or 'fresh' Bloodlines and intermarry with them. This practice keeps Pagan Bloodlines going and it makes them interconnected. Pagan Bloodlines will prefer other Bloodlines spawned from within the same Pantheon, but in the modern age, the increased scarcity of such Bloodlines has forced these families to forego any kind of pickiness they would normally have.
