So If....

[Katie]

Okay,in the book you know that a Dimidus and a human create a Quartarus. Also that a Dimidus and a angel make a Triplare. So what would a Triplare and an angel create would that be 7/8 angel or what? And vice versus with two Dimidus or two Quartarus or human and Quartarus.
Because if you look at it mathmatically
4/4 and 3/4
Add those two 7/4
and then average out the numerator (top one) that would be 3.5/4 = 7/8. Right and if you apply that to the others would that too be correct or am I wrong?

Ugh... It's summer. I can barely look at your math. I think you're right though. This is how I look at it. So a dimidus (1/2) and angel (1) make a triplare (3/4). That's basically meeting halfway. So between an angel (1 or 8/8) and triplare (3/4 or 6/8) meeting halfway would be 7/8. A human and quartius would make a 1/8 angel. And I'm thinking if both the parents are the same the kids will be the same... *throws hands in air* I don't know! I'm tired of trying to think mathematically. Maybe you should think of it in the terms of a punnett square.

Okay. So if you have an Angel parent you become a Dimidus (2/4). If you have a Dimidus parent you are a Quartius (1/4). Clara and Jeffery are Triplares, so they get (3/4) when you add that up. The angel power is diluted at a rate of (1/2). So to follow the pattern, if you have a Triplare parent, you'll receive (.375 or 3/8) angel power. So to clear this up:

Dimidus & Human: [(1/2)/2]+ (0)= (1/4 or .25) thus a Quartius

Triplare & Angel: [(3/4)/2] + [(4/4)/2]= (.375 or 3/8) + (1/2 or 4/8)= (7/8) so a sevenplare or something

Dimidus & Dimidus: [(1/2)/2] + [(1/2)/2]= .25 + .25= (.5 or 1/2) so another Dimidus

Quartius & Quartius: [(1/4)/2] + [(1/4)/2]= (1/8) + (1/8)= (1/4) so another Quartius

Quartius & Human: [(1/4)/2] + (0)= (1/8) so an Octavius or something.

Just remember that you half to divide the parent's blood fraction by two, because the angel power is diluted by (1/2). And everytime you mate two angels of the same level their kids will be the same level as they were. So if Christian and Clara were to have kids, they'd turn out to be Triplares. Or if Clara and Tucker turn out to have kids they'll turn out to be...(3/4)/2= (3/8) of angel which means the kid will be less powerful than a (4/8)Dimidus, but more powerful than a (2/8)Quartius.

And with that I've filled up my math quota for the year.
