007: AMAs, Third Round

[tarnishedavenger]

So, we've got a load of new people, and that means it's time for me to do the only thing it feels like I get on these comms to do anymore: AMAs.

For you new people, I find it helps when we get together and explain a little bit about ourselves, any powers we have, and our skillsets. That way we know what we're starting with and what we can build off of. So, please, come and introduce yourselves and be willing to answer questions.

No we are implanted with several artificially grown organs and are sterilized. A self-breeding race of superhuman warriors could have problematic implications for humanity. Initially I believed it was foolish for the Emperor to not have a self-maintaining force of Astartes but given the recent events of the Heresy War I have come to understand His wisdom.

I see. And I assume any clones would also need similar implants?

Andalites have a long history, much of it lost or obfuscated. There are strong physical differences between early and modern people which are usually attributed to discovering ways to alter ourselves that bred true. Sometimes to pairing with a sort of trickster entity, but I hate to think that has any credibility, even if the entity exists.

Cloning Astartes is forbidden. We are baseline humans who fit the psycho-profile and physical requirements before implantation. As a general rule, we have had exceptionally bad luck with cloning in general, and resort to subtler methods of creating more warriors, or more humans in general.
