So what happens if a human and a Sessian have a baby together?
Glad you asked!
While possible, it’s rare — and usually, sadly, ends in miscarriage.
But when a baby is born, they aren’t quite human and aren’t quite Sessian.
Without enough Serenicity in their blood, they have no Vrils —
a disappointing reality to Halfies everywhere.
Biological Composition
| Component | Origin | Function | Hybrid Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Blood Cells | Human | Oxygen transport | Normal |
| White Blood Cells | Human | Immune defense | Dominant (10:1 over Sess cells) |
| Sess Cells | Sessian | Serenicity production, healing, hormone management | Present but suppressed |
Result: Sess cells exist but are crowded out and attacked.
Serenicity production is rare and unstable.
Vril Cortex Status
- Underdeveloped: Present in most Halfies, but dormant due to low Serenicity.
- Phantom Activation: May flicker during stress, trauma, or ingestion of Sessian compounds.
- Ignition Threshold: Requires extreme kinetic surge or chemical boost.
Stress-Induced Vril Ignition
| Trigger: | Life-threatening stress spikes heart rate and blood pressure. |
| Effect: | Sess cells collide, Serenicity surges, Vril cortex briefly activates. |
| Aftermath: | Fatigue, cellular burnout, phantom Vril symptoms. |
Serenicity Rejection Syndrome (SRS)
A dangerous hybrid-specific condition where the immune system attacks
foreign Sess cells and Serenicity compounds.
- Cause: Immune system attacks foreign Sess cells and Serenicity compounds.
- Symptoms:
- Persistent cough
- Chest pain, nosebleeds
- Phantom Vril flickers
- Long-term tissue damage
- Treatment: Dampening agents, immune stabilizers, Vril cortex shielding.
Cultural & Emotional Themes
- Sessian View: Halfies are biologically promising but vril (magically) incomplete.
- Human View: Misdiagnosed as autoimmune or sensory disorders.
- Hybrid Identity: Torn between potential and limitation. Some seek ignition. Others fear it.
Underground Culture
- Serenicity trafficking
- “Ignition cuts” sold to desperate Halfies
