[ As someone who walks a fine line in fascination with the Christian religion and its teaching, the treatment that many who are intolerant of the religion perhaps show just how awful and unworthy they believe the gods must be. It extends beyond simple normal blasphemy and allegiance to their own god(s), when the religious who persecute do so in the name of a religion that worships only a teaching that will get them to achieve a certain state of liberation.
Perhaps the merciless persecution of Christians, particularly the ones to come under "the child of the sun" who will unite the warring states, eventually... display just how evil and wrong the feeling is that a god be worshipped. A god that loves? One that has no wrath, will always forgive, will never abandon you in your darkest moments when you reach for him, even if you have turned on him and pushed him away countless times... this concept of such a deity is unheard of across most religions.
(What else would a dragon respond with to such an anomaly of defiance to reject everything before it other than fascination?)
Masamune actually does not wonder why Gilgamesh asks despite his knowledge. What Is does not equate to every mortal's interpretation. That's how you get any religion to be twisted and justify the unacceptable nature of man most reject on principle. How peaceful teachings can suddenly lead to war and unjust persecution. So, in light of that, for a union between a god and a mortal... It depends, he wants to say—says in his mind, but that, he imagines, also probably defeats the purpose of what Gilgamesh is trying to convey.
However, instead of simply giving a single word answer, he decides to think on it a little further, to offer something of more substance that focuses on the sole affecting condition for this talk: this offspring is the result of taboo to begin with, regardless of all else, and thus itself is the same. ]
Someone who... belongs nowhere by the viewpoint of either world, and they feel that they themselves are alien in regards to both humans and gods. They can't fit in, because they possess traits from the other kind that makes it impossible in both realms. I think they would be isolated and very alone.
A child of Misfortune.
[ ...and that's only the baseline concept, without any it colored by life or choice or any influence whatsoever. ]
