One or more of a character's parents is a god, an angel, or one of those Horny Devils. Usually, if a character has Divine Parentage, then so will other characters in the setting. Divine Parentage is important because the divinity is often hereditary, usually in an All Genes Are Codominant way. Thus, someone with Divine Parentage can do things people who are fully mortal cannot. If the divine side is dominant or prominent, then you tend to get a demigod. Related to Half-Human Hybrid. After all, these characters are half-human, half god. May be the end result of a Divine Date.
