Properties[]

The character is a clone/copy of another being. They are a genetic duplicate who was created through scientific or magical means, or through other forms of Replication or Self-Replication power. Unlike doppelgängers, the character was created as a copy of another being and is not simply imitating/mimicking that other being. Unlike multipresent clones, the character is a unique being with their own consciousness and soul. Clones will usually have the same physiology as the being from which they are duplicated, but in some cases, they may possess an Artificial Physiology that simply appears to be that of the duplicated being.

Associated Powers[]

Accelerated Development: Clones can be engineered to develop, adapt, and learn faster than normal human beings.
Bio-Augmentation: Clones can be genetically modified to have superior physical and mental attributes than the person they are cloned from.
DNA Curing: Clones can even be genetically modified to not possess hereditary disorders and illnesses, such as Huntington's Chorea, from their genetic donor. This optimizes a clone's health in contrast to the original genetic donor.
Genetic Memory: Clones can possess the memories of their respective genetic donor(s).
Hypercompetence: Clones can be engineered with a set of skills, ranging from specific skills to a variety of skills, depending on the intentions behind their creation.
Identical Self-Reincarnation: Clones usually inherit the identical appearance of their genetic template.
Sentience Development: Clones have the potential to become sentient beings themselves rather than just being a copy of their genetic donor.
Total Mimicry: Clones possesses all of the traits of the being cloned from, ranging from the genetic donor's memories, skills, knowledge, or powers.

Techniques[]

Relationships/Variations[]

Clone Soldier: Clones that are or were in the military.
Cyber Clone: Clones are sometimes the digital version of their mental template.
Hybrid Clone: Clones are sometimes the hybrid version of their genetic template.
Modified Clone: Clones are usually the modified version of their genetic template.
Mutated Clone: Clones are sometimes the mutated version of their genetic template.
Robotic Clone: Clones are sometimes the mechanical version of their genetic and/or mental template.
Unmodified Clone: Clones are usually the unmodified version of their genetic template.

Associations[]

Limitations[]

The user's genetics may be unstable, resulting in side effects such as:
- Accelerated Aging: The people who engineered the clone would give the clones a limited lifespan to prevent possible uprisings against their creator.
- Infertility: The people who engineered the clone could engineer the clone's genetic with terminator genes, preventing the clone from procreating or even being cloned.
- Emotionlessness: The clones can be engineered to possess no sense of human emotions and thus be nothing more than a biological weapon.
- Self-necrosis: The clone's physiology could be unstable to the point of death by breaking down via necrosis/decaying, causing them to painfully be dying out.
- Multiple personalities: The clones would possess the personality of the person they were clones from as well as their personality traits at the same time.
If the clone is overused or abused, it may turn on and kill its handler.
- May be able to overcome their programming thus refusing to submit to their creator's orders.
May have/develop personality traits different from the original.
