One or more of a character's parents is a god, an angel, or devil. 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. The trope is Older Than Dirt. Many of the examples are related to mythology, and myths have many examples. Some of the more modern examples are retellings of ancient myths. Related to Half-Human Hybrid. After all, these characters are half-human, half-god - but since the gods are usually thought of as looking completely human, the "different species" issue doesn't tend to come up. A step above a Heroic Lineage, which is perhaps somewhat ironic since 'hero' was originally the ancient Greek word for examples of this trope (and in Greek myth, due to how much the gods screw around, many heroic lineages can be traced to the gods, heck Zeus is Heracles' divine parent and great-great grandfather). May be the end result of a Divine Date. A character discovering this parentage may experience a Really Royalty Reveal (with divinity instead of royalty). Compare Our Ancestors Are Superheroes and Semi-Divine, and contrast Deity of Human Origin. See also Nephilim, which are often portrayed as angel hybrids. Examples |

Wonder Woman (1942): According to Ares when he granted her powers, Helena Alexandros was a descendant on her mother Leda’s side from Helen of Sparta, daughter of Zeus and Leda, aka the same Helen of Troy from which she was named, giving her some degree of divine blood. | |

Lan of Public Humiliation is Hades' grandson, which makes him a very powerful necromancer capable of starting a zombie apocalypse on his own, or bringing the dead back as free-willed undead with their original souls and everything, depending on his motivation. In the end of the main comic, Lan ends up succeeding his grandfather as god of the dead. | |

Herakles, Perseus, Helen of Troy and many other classical figures were children of Zeus. Sometimes, in fact, Zeus would seduce a woman who was already a distant descendant of his through a previous affair. He sure got around. (the page image is from Disney's Hercules which actually twists the trope a bit: in the myth, Herc's mother is a mortal, Alcmene; in the movie, he's the son of Zeus' wife Hera, but becomes a demigod after being Brought Down to Normal) | |

In The Sun Sword, the god-born—people with one mortal, one divine parent—are semi-common. They have Supernatural Gold Eyes, general superhuman physical and mental abilities, and usually some magic related to their divine parent's portfolio. Most importantly, the Two Kings of the Essilyan Empire are god-born (one is the son of the god of wisdom, the other the son of the god of justice), and more ominously, Kiriel, one of the main protagonists, is the daughter of Big Bad and God of Evil Allasakar, with her heritage being a focal point of the Myth Arc. | |

The player character from the Baldur's Gate series is revealed to be the offspring of Bhaal, the god of murder. Big Bad Sarevok from part 1, the PC's childhood friend Imoen, and the five main antagonists of Throne of Bhaal are as well. In Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, it's said that the Shining Lady, leader of the "crusade" now seeming to threaten Baldur's Gate, is the child of a god. At first, that's implied to mean she's a Bhaalspawn, like the player character. However, she is actually an aasimar, a distant descendant of good celestial beings. The Big Bad needs divine blood to open a portal from Hell, and the fact that hers isn't strong enough is a plot point. |

Justice League greatly implies that Hades is Wonder Woman's father. When she points out that her origin story doesn't allow her to have a father, he resorts to a technicality. Whether or not it's true has been left ambiguous, and when Shayera suggests using the Lasso of Truth find out if he's lying, Wonder Woman rebuffs her, stating that she knows who raised her and what she was raised to do (more or less saying that it doesn't matter in the end). | |

Fire Emblem usually averts this trope due to being a weird halfway between political High Fantasy and supernatural Low Fantasy, but Corrin and Kana from Fire Emblem Fates in particular are the children and grandchildren respectively of Anankos, the Silent Dragon and a Physical God in his own right. Part of the reason why they can transform into a dragon despite the First Dragons having left this world is because of their direct ancestry from one of the only remaining First Dragons left in the world Fates is set in. | |

Dreadfleet: It's rumoured by her peers that Aranessa Saltspite, the Captain of the Swordfysh, is the daughter of the sea god Manann. While there is no concrete proof, the mermaid-like mutations that she was born with and her being raised by sea-nymphs does lend credence to these rumours. In-game, this parentage is represented by the Blessed by Manann special rule that grants Aranessa multiple re-rolls during a game. | |

Discworld Susan Sto Helit is Death's granddaughter. By adoption. She can still walk through walls. Don't ask. Susan briefly compares her situation with that of a classmate, whose great-grandfather was the god Blind Io, making her a hemi-semi-demigoddess. This doesn't seem to come with any powers, but apparently has enough prestige to get a good table at restaurants. Yet another: Lobsang Ludd (and his kind-of brother) is the son of Time. |

Exalted: Gods, Spirits, Demons, Fae, Ghosts and the Celestial Exalted (about anyone with essence 4 or more) can bear or sire children, who inherit some of that power. One of the canonical examples includes a woman being impregnated by an earth spirit through an earthquake. The God/Ghost/Demon/Fae-blooded people are a few large steps above mortals, but they still don't have a chance against Exalted. Their parents have considerable difficulty with the Exalted as well... | |

Plentiful in Dungeons & Dragons. Not only do deities sometimes dally with mortals to produce demigods, other creatures from beyond the Material Plane can produce half-celestial or half-fiendish offspring, the descendants of which will exhibit signs of their supernatural heritage. These "planetouched" are viable player races, and each has their own traits and abilities based on their ancestry. Or you could abuse D&D's template system and create a character that has celestial, fiendish, and dragon blood in their veins. Aasimar have an ancestor from the Upper Planes, and thus tend to be considered beautiful by mortal standards, and are typically passionate about opposing evil. This makes the rare "fallen aasimar" all the more dangerous. The immediate spawn of a fiend and mortal is a monstrous cambion, while their descendants are known as tieflings, who have one or more fiendish traits like glowing eyes, horns, tails, cloven hooves for feet, etc., which only makes life more difficult for non-evil tieflings. There are also specific fiendblooded variants for non-human races: fey'ri (elves), maeluths (dwarves), tanarukks (orcs), and wisplings (halflings). Axani and zenythri have a touch of pure Law in their blood, which manifests in perfect (perhaps too perfect) features with a metallic, purple or bluish tint to their skin. Mechanatrices are specifically descended from the clockwork beings of Mechanus, and thus have one or more inorganic features like a mechanical limb or metal hair. Chaonds are the descendants of someone who survived a slaad's reproduction attempt, but had their bloodline tainted with raw Chaos in the process. They have a crude, blocky, disheveled appearance, and a skin or eye color that shifts at random. Genasi are descended from either an elemental or genie from one of the Inner Planes, and thus have a strong connection to one of the classical elements (or multiple elements, in the case of "paraelemental" genasi). They commonly bear mutations based on their elemental ancestor: hair that constantly shifts in a light breeze, clammy flesh, gemstone eyes, a clnging smell of smoke, and so forth. Mephlings are similar, just Small-sized. Shyfts are humanoids descended from a creature from the Ethereal Plane, and tend to look supernaturally unremarkable. Shadowswyfts meanwhile have an ancestor from the Plane of Shadow, and thus have dark skin and utterly black eyes, as well as a sensitivity to sunlight. |

Wonder Woman: Much like the New 52 comics, Diana is the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta. Though, in this adaptation, her conception was on purpose — after Ares killed the rest of the Greek Pantheon, a dying Zeus severely injured him in retaliation. However, Zeus knew that Ares would one day return, and also knew that no one would be able to stop him. Only a god can kill another god, and Zeus was not long for this world — hence, Diana. | |

From Mass Effect fanfic Crucible: There are four Turian clans of the North (one of which was the Vakarians) descended from the 4 sons of a turian named Makerm and Herz, a reincarnation of a star which basically made her a living goddess. In the present, the only person with a direct god-parent was Jane Shepard whose father was Sam Shepard/Lord Samikis, one of the many forms of the bare-faced turian who was viewed as some kind of a disaster god by the North. He was actually Death. Evidently, Shepard inherited not only her dad's physical traits but also some of his otherworldly powers too. |

Wonder Woman: In some continuities Hippolyta is eventually confirmed to retain her mythological parentage of Ares (Olympian) and Otrera (human) making Diana the granddaughter of Ares and great-granddaughter of Zeus. Wonder Woman (1942): According to Ares when he granted her powers, Helena Alexandros was a descendant on her mother Leda’s side from Helen of Sparta, daughter of Zeus and Leda, aka the same Helen of Troy from which she was named, giving her some degree of divine blood. In the Post-Crisis continuity, Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark is the daughter of Zeus and an archaeologist named Helena Sandsmark. Wonder Woman (1987): Two of Wonder Woman's biggest foes, Circe and Ares, had a daughter named Lyta together. Wonder Woman: Warbringer: The Warbringer bloodline are those who are descended from Helen of Troy, and inherited the curse of inciting war from her. In the New 52's Wonder Woman (2011), it's Wonder Woman who's Zeus' kidnote Prior to that she had a Truly Single Parent, having been sculpted from clay by Hippoltya and then brought to life by Aphrodite. while Cassie's father is Lennox, a different child of Zeus. |

In Pony POV Series: Cupid was the demi-Alicorn son of the love goddess Venus and her mortal lover Mars. Unfortunately, he was eventually killed with the Concept Killing Spear and erased from existence. Lovestruck is Cupid's G3 incarnation's Reincarnation and as a result eventually merges with Cupid's Shadow of Existence and becomes a demi-goddess herself. She's technically only this trope by adoption, as Venus is only her adopted mother, not her biological one. Though it retroactively makes her daughter Heartthrob 1/4 god. Celestia's sister Galaxia had a mortal lover during her time on Equus, though their child is never focused on except as Blueblood's ancestor, making him an extremely diluted case of this trope. Fluttercruel is Discord's daughter and an accidental Child by Rape with Fluttershy (Mind Rape to be specific, as she has no physical body of her own and was born directly from Discord's brainwashing of Fluttershy). Even Discord has no idea how he did that. While at first her Draconequi aspects are minor, she eventually becomes a full Demi-Draconequus during Rumors. |

EXTRAPOWER: The truth of Zophy's heritage, alluded to in EXTRAPOWER: Attack of Darkforce and later expanded on in EXTRAPOWER: Giant Fist. Zophy's distant ancestor is a phoenix, one of the majin who watch the Earth, and possibly the ancient Latour hero Romes. But phoenix ancestry is confirmed when Magma-O informs him of the ancient blood locked away inside him. As a twist, Zophy's divine ancestor is so far back in the past that Zophy is effectively a completely normal human. All of his power and strength comes from a life of disciplined training. But if he agrees to unlock his ancestral blood, he becomes a Flame Warrior, a majin in his own right. That choice is up to the player. | |

The Elder Scrolls All of the recognized Cyrodiilic Emperors of Tamriel (the Alessian, Reman, and Septim dynasties) claim this from Akatosh, the draconic God of Time and chief deity of the Eight (later Nine) Divines pantheon, in the metaphysical sense (imbued with "Dragon Blood"), dating back to Akatosh's covenant with St. Alessia, founder of the First Empire. In addition to the patronage of the Divines for the Empire, these Emperors serve as Barrier Maidens, sealing and protecting Mundus (the mortal plane) from Oblivion. The series' dragons are the "children" of Akatosh and/or, according to some theories, fragments of his very being. This would also include those who are Dragonborn, mortals gifted by Akatosh with the immortal soul of a dragon, who are to serve as natural predators to dragons. Like the dragons, the Dragonborn possess instinctive knowledge of the draconic Language of Magic and can use the Thu'um. The "Last Dragonborn" is one such example. The Nords still refer to themselves as the sons and daughters of Kyne (the old Nordic aspect of Kynareth, the Divine Goddess of the Air and Heavens), who in their old religious tradition "breathed" them into life by exhaling on the Throat of the World. In the Yokudan/Redguard religious tradition, Zeht (their aspect of Zenithar, the Aedric Divine God of Work and Commerce) was the God of Agriculture and the son of Ruptga, the "Tall Papa" and their Top God. Following the creation of the world, Zeht renounced Ruptga, which is why Ruptga makes it "so hard to grow food". Demiprinces are a form of lesser Daedra born from the union of a Daedra and a mortal. Their dual nature gives them an odd perception of the world and time itself. Umaril the Unfeathered, the Ayleid sorcerer-king who ruled the Ayleid Empire during the Alessian Revolt, claimed that his father was the "God of the World-River" from the previous kalpa, or cycle of time. (Umaril would return and serve as the Big Bad of Oblivion's Knights of the Nine expansion.) |

The Bible: Jesus is the son of God and a human named Mary, conceived via divine intervention. However, Christianity holds that he is not half-god and half-human, but fully divine and human simultaneously. Yes, it's weird and everyone knows it; the seeming contradiction is why certain early-church heresies that said that Jesus was either not fully God (Arianism, which said he was a lesser divinity to the Father) or not really human (Docetism, where his mortal form was an illusion). Tv Tropes, not being composed of religious scholars, will not be elaborating further. | |

Sanae Kochiya from Touhou Project is the distant descendent of a Shinto goddess, and thus has the power to "create miracles" (which comes less from her ancestry and more from being recognized as a living goddess by the people of Gensokyo). This twist is that Suwako Moriya, Sanae's great-to-the-nth grandmother, is still around, one of the deities Sanae serves as a Miko, lives with Sanae, and is currently taking the form of a little girl with a cute googly-eyed hat. It's thus not uncommon for fan works to depict Sanae as a motherly figure to her own ancestor-deity, though in canon it's suggested that Suwako isn't as childish as she can act. | |

The lead character of !HERO: The Rock Opera. Given that it's the story of Jesus with a Setting Update, and that Michael Tait is playing the lead character, he is also given a Divine Race Lift. | |

Downplayed in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?. In the fifth novel (animated as S1E13), Hermes mentions "Zeus' grandson" as he watches Bell defeat the Goliath, implying that Bell's grandfather was actually the most powerful deity in their world. In the light novels, however, it was noted that Zeus is only his adopted grandfather, and he is as much a human as everyone else. This explains why he was raised to be a Harem Seeker, since Zeus is infamous for sleeping with everybody. | |

Appears in Fate/stay night as a character's "divinity" rank. Seems to be pointless, until Gilgamesh unveils Enkidu, which is a Variable-Length Chain that grows stronger based on the divinity rank of the person it captures. He uses this to kill a number of should-have-been-challenging-opponents. Characters with Divine Parentage include (in order of original divinty rank): Gilgamesh, a 2/3 deity; Hercules, Cú Chulainn, Caster Medea and Alexander the Great from Fate/Zero (Alexander had historically claimed to be a descendant of Zeus) are all demigods; and lastly Rider Medusa. All but Medusa and Medea are trapped by Enkidu just before dying in at least one route. | |

Warhammer: Dreadfleet: It's rumoured by her peers that Aranessa Saltspite, the Captain of the Swordfysh, is the daughter of the sea god Manann. While there is no concrete proof, the mermaid-like mutations that she was born with and her being raised by sea-nymphs does lend credence to these rumours. In-game, this parentage is represented by the Blessed by Manann special rule that grants Aranessa multiple re-rolls during a game. Warhammer 40,000: The superhuman Primarchs from were created by the Emperor of Mankindnote who always claimed not to be a god, just a highly powerful entity who became the central figure of the official Imperial religion using his own DNA, but weren't conceived in the normal way. How they were created is question with no clear answer, though. In some older versions of the background material, the setting's version of The Illuminati claim that the God-Emperor had actual biological children, called Sensei, and that they are equivalent to the shards of the C'tan Star-gods or the Avatars of the Aeldari god Khaine and will eventually merge with the Emperor once he reincarnates as a Star Child. The Inquisition, meanwhile, believe that they're heretical revolutionaries who need to be destroyed. Warhammer Fantasy Roeplay: According to some myths, the Menogoths, one of the Empire's founding tribes, descended from the children of the mother goddess Rhya and a mortal man. |

The Nephalem of the Diablo series were the ancestors of the humans of Sanctuary, born from the union of renegade angels and demons, but who were weakened into their current human state by the Worldstone when Inarius got frightened by how powerful the Nephalem were. With the Worldstone destroyed, humanity is beginning to get its former power back, and the Player Character of Diablo III is among the first of the new Nephalem. Leah is the daughter of the witch Adria and the Dark Wanderer, a.k.a. Aidan from Diablo (1997), who became possessed by Diablo after sticking his soulstone into his own head. The magical power she wields comes direct from the Big D himself, and she is eventually used by Adria with the Black Soulstone to bring about Diablo's rebirth as the Prime Evil, the sum total of all seven Great Evils in one being. |

Teen Titans: Raven is the daughter of the demon Trigon and a human woman, something that causes her considerable angst. Lilith Clay was revealed to be the daughter of Thia, a Titan of Myth who plotted to overthrow the gods of Olympus. Following the first reboot of the DC universe, this origin was erased. |

The Sandman (1989): The Endless are not mere gods, but Anthropomorphic Personifications of universal constants. They still procreate with lesser entities on occasion though. Orpheus, the hero from Greek Mythology, was the son of Dream and a nymph. Aside from being a supreme bard his head remained alive for millennia after he was torn to pieces. Desire raped and impregnated Unity, the woman who was originally destined to become the Dream Vortex but went into a coma when Dream was imprisoned, as part of a scheme to make Dream shed family blood when their granddaughter Rose became the Dream Vortex (who Dream has to kill to preserve the universe) instead. |

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup has the Demigod as one of its many races. They have poor aptitudes (how much exp it takes to level skills) all across the board, gain experience slower and can't worship any gods, making them a challenge race despite their great stats. | |

In American Gods Mr. Wednesday tells Shadow that while it used to be common for gods to sire children on mortals, the lack of faith nowadays means that he and most of the others are shooting blanks. Though there are some exceptional circumstances where it's possible, foreshadowing that Shadow is Wednesday/Odin's son. | |
