Clones
All non-Neo characters are clones (yep, all of you) - but the storyline requires that some of you need to be clones of eachother. We can't all be different.
For the sake of advancing the plots, all secondary characters (if you really need one...) are required to be clones of another existing character. That won't mean much for you, just that you'll be sharing somebody else's faceclaim and may have some trippy scenes with the other character. (Your first character CAN be a clone, but that's optional.)
Some points of information about clones:- they're infertile. They can still adopt, obviously.
- Until a certain point in the storyline, they don't know they're clones (are not self-aware). The only self-aware clones were murdered by the Neo Institute in Operation Helsinki (nobody outside of the Institute knows this yet.)
- they only share the same face with the original. They are all supposed to have different names, backgrounds, personalities and places of origin - so they've never run into eachother before. They're entirely different people with the same DNA.
- More than one clone of a character is allowed to exist, but I'm trusting you to keep it varied and not all be clones of the same character.
- They were the result of IVF.
- They greatly resemble people who had died, since corpses were used as DNA sources. As a result, clones may have had weird experiences with being stopped in the street once or twice in their lives.
RP CONTEXT/HISTORY OF CLONES:
All clones originated from a series of secret illegal experiments known as Project LEDA, a scientific study from around 1971. The project was initially a military operation before the Neo Institute took over. It was deemed irresponsible to create clones capable of reproduction so, as a precaution, they were made barren.
Research is still ongoing, with most of the projects still under observation and study. None of the surviving clones are self-aware: so paid monitors, usually disguised as a partner or a friend, have been planted into their lives with the objective of observing/keeping tabs on them - and reporting on their conditions to a higher authority. All monitors are unaware of the real reason why they're observing the subjects; they are kept on a "double blind," allowing the clones to make their own choices so they can't skew or affect the results of the experiments.
