Double Farris (Term)

Where both parents have the Farris gene.  Example:  If two people of the Farris line marry and produce a child, that child would be a DOUBLE FARRIS.

Such double-farris individuals have an exceptionally low survival rate in a low-technology climate.  They tend to be exceptionally sensitive and sometimes with unstable personalities.  Once this phenomenon is better understood and remedies have been developed to sustain them, the double-farris individuals can find their unique places and be extraordinarily productive.  They do tend to be Endowed, which only makes life harder for them.  Nobody envies a double-farris.  Such children often complain to their parents, "Why did you have me?"  And very often they grow up determined not to have children of their own.
