Misborn

Overview
Very common in the first years after the Gene Wars, the misborn are those who are born with defects, disabilities, or other hindrances that made life on Underhill difficult, almost all a result of a genetic anomaly or an increased concentration of the ambrosia compound in the mother. In some cases, they turned these differences into strengths, and new races of fae were born. In others, they succumbed to the rigors of the planet. By the time the Changed returned from Old Earth, the occurrences of misborn were rare. They still occur though, not usually resulting in a new race to populate the planet. Misborn often live on the edges of society. Sometimes they are helped by those around them, other times they are left to fend for themselves, depending on which race they were born into and the degree to which they are afflicted.

Causes
Genetic defect in one or both of the parents as a result of the bombs of the Gene Wars or the experiments done before it. High levels of the ambrosia compound in a mother prior to birth

Symptoms
A variety of symptoms, depending on the source of the condition and the race the child comes from.
