Epic Bloodlines

[Layz92]

I was rereading some Raymond E Feist books the other day and the brothers Jimmy and Dash were in there, descendants on the original Jimmy The Hand. From all the books and games I have read this awesome bloodline is my favourite but I am curious what other epic bloodlines from games or books other people know of.

The Emperor and the Primarchs are already thought of but they are a very short bloodline.

Edit: By request - a bloodline is a unbroken chain of parents and children, with children often inheriting the parents genetic traits. In fiction this usually results in inheriting skills of past family members and also the family name.

The blood line of Jesus Christ in Preacher. Epically retarded that is.

because some people are thick, can you please help those poor people out by explaining what you mean by bloodline?

Well, Sigmars bloodline has got to be a badass one, right? I mean, he's a wargod after all!

Von Carstein bloodline tho... Vlad, Konrad and Manfred are some seriously badass vampires!

Ah yes forgot about the Warhammer Fantasy vampire family. If it involves vampires or undead 9 times out of 10 the Von Carstein name turns up.

Well they were forced into centuries of inbreeding to be fair. Also they were eliminated pretty hardcore. But yes they were epic in that way.

Feist is fantastic! I loved The Riftwar Saga. Just reading Talon of the Silver Hawk. You read it? Its the first book in the Conclave of the Shadows series.

Hell yeah I have read them all twice (and a couple of them even more times). All except the empire trilogy which I am having trouble getting my hands on.

Neal Stephenson's Shaftoes, Waterhouses, and Hacklhebers.

edit: Oh and all the others...

I know for a fact that I am descended from Charlemagne Ruler of the Holy Roman Empire and the father of Europe. That's a pretty epic blood line right there.

Sadly I must be said that every single European can also tranced themselves back to Charlemagne in some way which sort've undermines it.

I know how you feel. I'm a MacKenzie, and often brag about being descended from Kings, but really, every form of McKenzie can anyway.
I do have another rather famous individual I am related to, but it's not really something most would be proud of.
OT: For fiction, I don't know f this counts, but the Bean bloodline form the ender's game series seemed to have some weird shit gunning for it.

The Van Helsing bloodline is pretty epic. Considering all the different media they appear in, from anime (Hellsing) to gothic literature (Dracula) to Universal horror films (Van Helsing, among others), and so on. Pretty epic stuff, right there .

Alexander the great's bloodline was pretty awesome his father was king of Greece and Alexander grew up to take over the ENTIRE known world, which had to suck when he finished since most likely he looked around and said "okay all done... now what?"

How much would it suck to be Alexander and be discovering new lands. "I HAVE CONQUERED THE... whats that across the water? oh for f**k sake... LOAD UP LADS MORE CONQUERING TO DO"

Luffy's (One Piece)
Monkey D. Garp (grandfather)
Monkey D. Dragon (father)
Portgas D. Ace (adopted brother)

There's some other epic shit going on about the whole "D." thing but they haven't gotten to that yet, in the anime at least.

This. I was actually just about to post this, I like it when everyone first learns about this bloodline and Garp's soldier go crazy, as does everyone else.

Looks like I need to get back to Midkemia... been a while since I read my last Feist book.
