Editing LeviathanTempest:NuClan (section)

===='''Genetics'''====
They say if a Nu wants to trace his ancestry he should start by looking at his great uncle's second cousins. Like ripples spreading the touch of the divine bloodline moves outwards from a Nu to his surrounding family, often manifesting in ways that cause dead ends on the family tree. Yet a few branches will be spared. Like runner shoots these often are or soon will be the most distant to the original Leviathan; genetically, culturally or even geographically. It is these distant and healthy relations which are most likely to give birth to the next full blooded Leviathan while the more direct descendants are often destined to die out or leave their heritage behind entirely. 

Nu are most commonly born out the blue as it where. The healthy branches tend to be free of Lemashu and other markers of the Tribe. Even culturally most tend to be distant from the unusual side of their heritage. It is rare for the same branch of the family tree to produce more than one Leviathan before the cycle repeats itself but several escaping branches may exist in parallel. As far as anyone can tell in regards to when and if they produce another Leviathan each branch is entirely independent of the others.
