RE: Nicholas "Nick" Burkhardt - syscrash - 12-25-2016
When Kelly was talking to Nick she mentioned as little girls their dad would take her and Mari on the hunt. Kelly said she was ten years old when she saw her first wesen.
Because both Mari and Kelly where Grimm's at the same time. I don't think it is passed upon death.

My best guess is part of how it is passed on by is affected your nearest GRIMM relatives. If GRIMM relative thinks you are more mature like some girls are it can come earlier. If your relative sees it as a curse, Aunt Marie and Nick, it could come very late when the relative is sick. If the relative believes that family member would never make a good GRIMM that person can be passed over like Rolek and Josh Porter. There also could be a limit on the number GRIMMs based on the original number. As example, if Nick's family is a descendant of two different original GRIMM knights maybe there can be no more than two GRIMMs per generation in that family.

Kelly went into a long dialog about how one becomes a Grimm. She explained how girls know much earlier then boys. She also explained not all children of Grimms become Grimms. She then explain how her and Mari learned to be Grimm. She also explained why Nick did not know about Grimms. She explained why she choose to let him believe she was dead.
rewatch women in black the last episode in season one. Kelly has a long dialog that explains all of this.

Chances are Kelly and Marie were adolescents when they became Grimms and we're trained by their father. By the time Nick was born, Kelly would have been a Grimm for maybe a decade or so. I don't think it's a case of one Grimm dies then another is born, it's just biology between male and female and active Grimms have considerable short life spans compared to those not Grimming. It puts the males at a disadvantage and increases their likely hood of their early death due to lack of experience. But then it balances out because girls are exposed to danger much sooner than the boys.
So in other words, if Grimm women want to marry and have children who are Grimms, they cannot simply wait around for their intended to mature because it might not happen, as in the case of Josh. So it is conceivable that the Grimm part of these people is being bred out of them because they are marrying true humans instead of Grimms.

Even if Josh never becomes a Grimm. His kids could still be Grimm's because his dad was a Grimm. The show stated being a Grimm can skip generations. Because of the randomness of it. It would be almost impossible to bread for Grimm's. Maybe with DNA testing you could keep fertilizing eggs in a dish until you get the Grimm markers you are looking for.

Since Grimms can skip generations so that is why I believe there is some of trigger to become a GRIMM beyond having the genes. Another way that might trigger turning into a GRIMM is you are attacked or threatened by wesen. Adalind might have been watching Nick already and she was threat to him. Trubel was attacked by male wesen in a garage and that is the first time she saw a woge. If someone with GRIMM genes is never attacked by a wesen maybe the genes are never activated.

That shows your trigger idea does not work.

Maybe he does not have the right genes or the fact dad did not think he could handle it affected it.

So it's along the line of a recessive gene then. Even at that, the more they marry into humans, the less likelihood of them becoming a full fledged Grimm. And this makes me wonder about people like Kelly, Marie, and even Nick himself. Are these people really like their ancestors, or have their genes turned against them?
For instance, Nick often displays sociopathic tendencies. I wonder if that is a true Grimm tendency, or is it the result of so much outside the species breeding, the genes have now become radical and even a danger to possess.
RE: Nicholas "Nick" Burkhardt - syscrash - 12-25-2016
You can not sight one example of Nick showing sociopathic tendencies. You can not be a sociopath and have a group of friend that are willing to die for you.
