The Delphic Bloodline is a familial bloodline rumored to go back thousands of years, tracing their lineage back to an individual designated as PHIA Prime, who was believed to have lived during the early 21st century when virtual reality became an emerging technology. It is sometimes known as the PHIA bloodline due to how often women of the lineage are named "PHIA". Last names are also highly variable due to differing marriage customs on whose surname gets adopted which can make it very difficult to keep track.
At some point during the golden age of the Valerian Empire, a woman named Minerva somehow gained the ability to see into the memories of her ancestors. With thousands of years of knowledge on hand, she used her wisdom and influence to eventually become the empress. She named her firstborn daughter after the furthest ancestor she was able to reach out to: PHIA Prime, a woman from ancient Earth. Minerva recorded this encounter along with many others onto data crystals which she kept in a great library.
The bloodline would continue, even after the fall of the Minerva Dynasty, spreading to the blood of nobles and commoners alike. What propogated its spread even further was cloning technology that replicated Minerva's powers resulting in people unrelated to her to acquire the powers. Over the generations, it inspired many different sects and other cultures on the best way to use the powers of the ancestors. Some sought to rule others in a position of power. Others focused on contribution to the knowledge of humanity and some opted for simple lives as monks.
Knowledge of the origins of the bloodline became lost with the Blackout and in some parts of the galaxy, a reversion to a preindustrial age. Some societies saw members of the Delphic Bloodline as witches that served the devil. Others had a more positive outlook, relying on them as seers to share their wisdom.
The data crystals that Minerva created would eventually fall in the hands of various other parties - from museums to private collectors to pirates trading it on the black market.
