No, DNA would not be irrelevant - unless Demigoguery entails a merely superficial change - plastic surgery? Or is to be taken as a act of council creating the Olympian equivalent of confderring knighthood.
I am assuming - ujnless demigods browsing here can assure us of the contrary - that there is involved a substantive change conferring powers.
If you're the reincarnation of say Napoleon you would have Napoleon's karma but you wouldnt likely have any of Napoleon's DNA. But you would have the DNAA if you were a descendant of Napoleon.
So Im not clear as to what your point it.
But you're cracking me up with you're miss use of the word "demigoguery"!
The word means "rabble rousing through angry speech", not "the status of being a demigod".
Although most demigogues would have you believe that they are, if not themselves God, the spokesman of God.
The word you're looking for would be... I dont know.. maybe "demigodhood"?
Demigodery? Gotterdamerung?
