The ability to possess the traits and attributes of a clone. Variation of Science Attuned Physiology and Artificial Physiology. Not to be confused with Replication.
Also Called
- Doppelgänger Physiology/Mimicry
- Replica Physiology/Mimicry
- Replicant Physiology/Mimicry
Capabilities
The user is a clone/copy of another being, being a genetic duplicate of the user, a robotic double, created through magical means, etc.
Applications
- 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 possesses 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.
- Sentience Development: Clones have 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.
Associations
- Artificial Physiology
- Bionic Physiology
- Bio-Technology
- DNA Manipulation
- Human Physiology
- Magically Enhanced Physiology
- Replication
- Science Attuned Physiology
Limitations
- User's genetics may be unstable, resulting in nasty 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.
- Apathy: 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 die out.
- Multiple personalities: The clones would possess the personality of the person they were clones from as well as their own individual 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.
