Borne vs. Born
A sentient entity, whether organic, mechanical, or golemoid in nature, has a moment of birth or creation.
To be Borne is an artificial conception and method of birthing. All anthroids and synthoids are borne from other mechanical devices, golems are borne from the magic associated with their nature, and some organic beings are even borne in laboratories, such as Lurdanjo.
To be born, therefore, is a traditional organic birth, conceived by sexual intercourse or solely biological science such as a test tube, and thrust into life from a female's or other potential parental womb. Virtually all organic creatures and some liquem, such as Turin, begin life in this way.
