Like so many other fics by [[Tropers/Thrythlind|Thrythlind]], this was started merely by an idle “what if” statement that consisted of “what if Ranma Saotome had children by the Gods?”. The first elements were posted in mid-August on the Maximum Adventure. The prologue, chapter one and some of chapter two were written between then and late January of 2007, after which time it sat untouched until picked up again in June of 2009, recently reaching its [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5175006/1/Divine_Blood 48th chapter].

The story then skips seventeen years to Ranma Satomi (a European misspelling of her name that she’s adopted to avoid attention) deciding to return to Japan after raising her children for seventeen years, during which she has acted as a [[Action Girl|freelance mercenary]] and exorcist.

Ranma avoids Nerima, not wanting to go right to her old home just yet, and [[Ah! My Goddess|Nekomi]], due to sensing something similar to her attackers there. Instead she arrives at Jindai High, her children starting school the same day as [[Full Metal Panic|Sousuke Sagara]].

''Note: A careful look will show that most of the entries here were added by me, Thrythlind, and that it has been added to with even more frequency than I add to my original works. This is because I often use this as a sort of self-evaluation/accounting of what has or has not happened in the story. I always like it when somebody else posts an entry, because they often find something that I didn't think of, but I like having a place to go that has all the characterizations and tropes I've used so far because it makes for a handy tool for maintaining consistency in my story.''

''So, yeah, I use tvtropes as a public plot map. Not sure if that's the intended use or not.''

'''Tropes Found In Divine Blood:'''

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Bit character Illujanka was a terrible mother to her daughter Rene. Rene's [[Heroic Sacrifice]], which was preceded by Rene apologizing to her mother for being a failure, being continuously replayed on the news leads to Illujanka having a massive [[Heel Realization]].

{{quote| '''Illujanka:''' Her name was Rene. She was born nine months after Woodstock. Her father was a human who died in a car accident I was too drunk or high ~~too~~ see coming. She was the only daughter I had in ten thousand years of life and the last thing I said to her before those bastards attacked us was that she'd never amount to anything... And they keep playing her apologizing to me.}}

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Janet Frasier is one of Kodachi Kuno's victims.

** Frank Simmons, a character played by [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|John DeLancie]], starts acting very full of himself {{spoiler|after being mutated by Leonard Testarossa}}.
