Warborn

Warborn refers to a fictional concept found in various forms of media, often within fantasy or science fiction genres. Generally, warborn are individuals or beings who are intrinsically linked to conflict or battle. This connection can manifest in several ways. Some warborn might be magically or genetically engineered for warfare, possessing inherent combat abilities or a predisposition towards aggression. Others may be individuals who have undergone extreme trauma or transformation due to prolonged exposure to war, gaining unique powers or psychological traits as a result.

The term can also describe a lineage or a species where every member is born with a destiny or purpose tied to fighting. These entities are often depicted as formidable warriors, natural soldiers, or even living weapons. Their existence might be a consequence of a prophecy, a curse, or a societal structure built around perpetual conflict. The motivations and moral alignments of warborn vary widely, from those who embrace their martial nature and fight for a cause, to those who resent their predetermined path and seek peace. Their presence in a narrative often serves to explore themes of destiny versus free will, the nature of violence, and the impact of war on individuals and societies.
