17	---> -Azazel (The Yellow-Eyed Demon), [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E22DevilsTrap "Devil's Trap" (S01, Ep22)]]
18
19	Even before their births these children were chosen by [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Azazel (The Yellow-Eyed Demon)]] to serve as his soldiers during the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Apocalypse]]. '''Special Children''' refers to chosen individuals to whom Azazel fed his blood on their 6 month birthdays, having snuck into their homes after making a deal with their parents. The result was that the blood awoke/created psychic abilities in them so they could (apparently) lead an army of demons in a war against humanity and God. In [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E21AllHellBreaksLoosePartOne "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One" (S02, Ep21)]], Azazel tests these children to find who will be the strongest by putting them in an abandoned town called Cold Oak, South Dakota, and manipulating them to fight each other. Azazel led everyone to believe that he wanted a leader for his demon army. However, as it was later revealed, the endgame was bigger, and Azazel chose the children because they were all potential vessels for Lucifer. The strongest one would be chosen to contain Lucifer throughout the apocalypse.
20	----
21	!Tropes related to the Special Children:
22	* AbortedArc: Azazel briefly mentions other generations of Special Children that exist but only one ever comes up again and nothing really comes of it. [[spoiler: Possibly they became useless to the demon cause once Azazel was killed.]]
23	* AdaptationExpansion: Lily and Jake get [[ADayInTheLimelight an episode of their own each]] ("Darkness Calling" and "Loser", respectively) in [[Anime/{{Supernatural}} Supernatural: The Animation]].
24	* AntiAntiChrist: [[spoiler:While they are all potential vessels for Lucifer who have been fed demon blood,]] most of the Special Children are just young adults trying to fit in and deal with their powers.
25	* BadassArmy: Their powers, the pattern of nursery fires, and the manipulation by [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Azazel (The Yellow-Eyed Demon)]], lead the Special Children to find each other, even before they start arriving in Cold Oak. A demon told [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Gordon Walker]] that they were intended to fight on Hell's side in the upcoming war.
26	* BadPowersBadPeople: Ansem and Max quickly start using their powers to murder people.
27	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Sam, who tries to use his powers to help people when he uses them at all (though even that ends up being dangerous), and Andy, who is just an ordinary guy with no interest in hurting anyone.
28	* BlessedWithSuck: The psychic visions are accompanied by headaches, and it takes Ava and Sam some time to understand what their visions of death really are. Lily accidentally kills her girlfriend by touching her. Scott started to develop migraines, depression, paranoia, and nightmares, as his power manifested. Also, most of their powers don't work on other Special Children, so plenty of them don't get ''any'' benefits. (Lily in particular gets it bad--the one time she's in a situation where instakilling people via touch would actually do her some good, it doesn't work.)
29	* BioAugmentation: All of the Special Children possess demon blood within their blood, courtesy of Azazel bleeding in their mouths at 6 months of age.
30	* BizarreBabyBoom: While there are hints there may be multiple generations including Rosie's generation born in 2006, the story focuses on children born in 1983.
31	* TheChosenMany: They were chosen by [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Azazel (The Yellow-Eyed Demon)]] based on their pedigree, and [[spoiler:he then has them battle to find the one true vessel for Lucifer.]]
32	* CoDragons: To Azazel in Season 2. The Winchesters encounter several Special Children that have been corrupted into working for Azazel.
33	* ComboPlatterPowers: While most of the Special Children have PsychicPowers, some also have SuperStrength or TouchOfDeath. Scott uses [[ShockAndAwe electrocution]] to kill with his touch.
34	* TheCorruptible: [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Azazel (The Yellow-Eyed Demon)]] plays TheCorrupter by manipulating the Special Children by [[FatalFlaw killing or threatening family and loved ones, promising power and glory, or exploiting feelings of loneliness or a desire for revenge]].
35	* CreatorProvincialism: Unless Azazel is performing separate trials in other nations, it seems that all of [[spoiler:Lucifer's potential vessels]] are Americans.
36	* CursedWithAwesome: Andy seems to enjoy his telepathy, despite the fact that it was given to him by the King of Hell.
37	* TheDarkSide: Unfortunately, most of the Special Children succumb to evil.
38	* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: Once [[spoiler: Ava, Jake, and eventually Sam,]] give into their dark side, they find it easier to continue on this path.
39	* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:The parents of the children made this 9.5 years prior to their birth.]]
40	* DemotedToExtra: In focusing more on Lily and Jake, [[Anime/{{Supernatural}} Supernatural: The Animation]] dropped early episodes featuring Andy and Ava. It also didn't feature Rosie, Ansem, or Scott.
41	* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Ava and Sam.
42	* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Max and Ansem revel in their new powers and use them to exact revenge.
43	* GhostTown: Cold Oak, where [[spoiler:Azazel gathers the children.]]
44	* InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath: [[spoiler: Azazel gathers all the surviving children in Cold Oak once their powers have manifested, and they fight to the death as ThereCanBeOnlyOne, who will be the leader of his army.]]
45	* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: The children are manipulated by Azazel, who eventually [[spoiler:forces them to fight to the death.]]
46	* IAmAMonster: Sam and the other Special Children are worried about what they may become as their powers manifest and they start to understand Azazel's plan.
47	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Azazel does not have to push all of the Special Children very hard to get them to become murderers.
48	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:All except Sam, who came back from the dead thanks to Dean's deal with the crossroads demon.]]
49	* MissingMom: Most of the kids' moms were [[CruelAndUnusualDeath telekinetically pinned to the ceiling, gutted, and burned alive]] by Azazel when they were babies because they interrupted him as he was feeding the babies his blood. This includes Sam, Max, Andy, Lily, Jake, and Scott.
50	* MindControl: Andy, Ansem, and later on [[spoiler:Jake]] can utilize CompellingVoice.
51	* MindManipulation: Andy gains the ability to implant images in another person's mind.
52	* MindOverMatter: Max and Sam can move objects with telekinesis.
53	* MustBeInvited: Azazel needed this to enter the homes of the children.

55	* PubertySuperpower: These children develop their powers as young adults at 22 years of age.
56	* SummonMagic: [[spoiler:Ava learns a very specific form of mind control which she uses on an Acheri demon to help her kill the others at Cold Oak.]]
57	* SuperhumanTransfusion: They received Azazel's blood to prepare them as infants. Drinking demon blood, as Sam does, also has the ability to increase their powers and is required for [[spoiler:Lucifer's vessel.]]
58	%%* {{Transhuman}}: A variation of the trope.
59	* TykeBomb: [[spoiler:Engineered by Azazel to serve in the Apocalypse.]]
60	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:Max, Ansem, Ava, Jake, and eventually Sam get DrunkWithPower sooner or later]]. The only exception seems to be [[spoiler:Andy, who got stronger (on his own) but not crazier]].

Max was abused by his father, Jim Miller, and his uncle, Roger Miller, as he grew up, while his stepmother, Alice, did nothing to help him. After he gains telekinetic abilities, he takes revenge on those who abused him.

The Yellow-Eyed Demon enters her nursery on her 6 month birthday, but Sam and Dean save Rosie and Rosie's mother, who like so many ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' mothers wears a long white nightgown, from the house fire that erupts.

104	* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Her mother recognizes something special in her daughter.

128	* MindRape: Andy admits to beaming sexually explicit images into another guy's brain at all hours of the day because he thought the guy was a dick. This is [[BlackComedyRape played for comedy]] as the images consist of [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale gay porn]].
129	* MundaneUtility: He uses his power almost exclusively to ward off debt collectors, get people to give him things, and otherwise live for free. That’s all he wants or needs out of it.

131	* NighInvulnerability: Cannot be killed by fire, decapitation, or holy water.

But, more disturbingly, we first see Andy leaving an apartment in a robe as a woman on the second story blows a kiss at him, with the [[DoubleStandardRapeSciFi implication that he used his ability to convince the woman to engage in sex with him]].

151
152	He is Andy Gallagher's twin and was born to 18 year old Holly Beckett on June 30, 1983, in Guthrie, Oklahoma, but was adopted by the Weems family from upstate while Andy was adopted by a family in Guthrie. There was no house fire when he was 6 months alone as the Yellow-Eyed Demon was not interrupted, which leads the Winchesters to realize that they could not find all the Special Children by tracking this pattern of house fires. The Yellow-Eyed Demon tells him he has plans for him and also tells him that he has a brother. This leads Ansem to use the fake last name of Weber and take a job in the coffee house where Andy used to work. Appears in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E05SimonSaid "Simon Said" (S02, Ep05)]].
153	----
154	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Pushed off a bridge by his brother Andy.]]

163	* MotiveRant: Once Andy confronts Ansem, he admits that he killed Dr. Jennings and their mother because they split up the brothers. Ansem also plans to kill Tracy because he thinks she is trying to come between Andy and him.

177
178	Scott's mother died in a nursery fire when he was 6 months old like Sam, Andy, and Max. This pattern allows [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Ash]] to identify Scott as one of the Special Children. Scott, who lives in Lafayette, Indiana, starts to get migraines, and the Yellow-Eyed Demon appears to him in his dreams. He finds he has the ability to kill with electricity through touch. He confesses all of this and the plans the Yellow-Eyed Demon told him about to his psychiatrist, Dr. George Waxler, who does not believe him. Later Ava helps Sam steal Scott's confidential psychiatric medical records. Appears in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E10Hunted "Hunted" (S02, Ep10)]].

258	Lily was abandoned by her father, Gray Baker, after he witnessed the Yellow-Eyed Demon feeding his blood to 6 month old Lily and killing Lily's mother. She lives in San Diego, California, and finds out about her powers when she accidentally kills her girlfriend by stopping her heart when she touches her. Appears in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E21AllHellBreaksLoosePartOne "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One" (S02, Ep21)]].
259	----
260	* AccidentalMurder: She inadvertently killed her girlfriend by touching her. Naturally, Lily feels guilty as hell over this.
261	* AdaptationalBadass: In the anime, her touch based ability includes the power to exorcise demons with a touch. She's demonstrated this ability on Azazel, and its effectiveness may extend to demons like Samhain and Lilith.
262	* AdaptationDyeJob: In the anime, she's a brunette with BoyishShortHair rather than a long-haired blonde.
263	* BrokenBird: Very much so due to accidentally killing her girlfriend.
264	* DisappearedDad: In the anime, her father, Gray, abandons her after witnessing Azazel [[spoiler:feeding her his blood]] when she was an infant and killing her mother. Gray later teams up with John to save Lily and kill Azazel in "Darkness Calling". [[spoiler:Although Lily exorcises the demon and father and daughter reunite, Azazel later returns, possesses Gray, and forces Lily to exorcise him by touch again... this time, killing her father]].
265	* {{Expy}}: Lily, with her black leather jacket, long hair, and brooding attitude, has many similarities with [[Film/XMenFilmSeries Rogue]], which go beyond their power to kill with a touch.
266	* [[GayGuyDiesFirst Gay Gal Dies First]]: The first on-screen causality of Azazel's contest. To add insult to injury, Lily is offed so quickly that she never gets any real characterisation outside being lesbian and she never gets a chance to demonstrate her powers on-screen, ''and'' she is even KilledOffscreen.
267	* GenreBlindness: Ignores the other children's warning to stay in [[ClosedCircle the town]] and [[NeverSplitTheParty stick together]], by sneaking away to try to escape through the woods. [[spoiler:She is caught by one of Ava's Acheri demons, and hung from a windmill.]] In Lily's case, it might not be Genre Blindness so much as her desperation leading her to make rash decisions.
268	%%* {{Goth}}
269	* KilledOffscreen: She is killed during the first night, presumably in an ambush as she was trying to get away.
270	* HideYourLesbians: The anime adaption turned Lily's girlfriend into her "friend who is a girl".
271	* MaternalDeathBlameTheChild: Her father abandons her after her mother's death.
272	* OnlyOneName: In the main show. The anime gives her the surname "Baker".
273	* SelfMadeOrphan: Anime-only.
274	* TouchOfDeath: Can give people heart attacks by touching them.
