I think that could add a real depth to the social dynamic of the characters. One question Trevis: Generally the people of the setting aren't particularly technically advanced - how do they perform the required alterations? Did you have something in mind? (This is possibly flavour rather than anything else, but it helps shape the setting). Are prospective targets fed something, injected with large needles, is this already established bloodlines? -- DaveMG -- 21 Sep 2006 - 06:37:10

My thinking was that artificial people are always build from the ground up, genetic and chromasome manipulation prior to birth. Birth in artifical wombs. No modification or 'gene resequencing" after the fact. Think Gattaca only "naturals" or God Children have the social superiority and artificials are actually thought of as less than human (i.e. no souls because they aren't born of women) -- TrevisMartin -- 23 Sep 2006 - 06:49:49

I'm thinking They are often made to do 3D jobs, dirty, dangerous and difficult (and perhaps demeaning) -- TrevisMartin -- 23 Sep 2006 - 06:52:37
