PageSummary
Click-Sonar PalateEcholocation splice: click-and-listen navigation that maps a room and its occupants without a photon.
Crushworld BoneHigh-gravity-optimised frame: dense bone and anchored stance, immovable in a well, ponderous in the void.
Dietary LockA metabolism locked to a specialty amino balance: thrives on its own rations, sickens on anything else.
Frail ConstraintA thin, under-built frame: less meat on the bone, less blood to spare, easier to break.
Gene-Screen FlaggedA gene-marker on every scan: the bearer's line is on file, and the file follows them.
Grip-Limb SpliceClimbing-limb splice: long, gripping digits and a gecko-pad palm that hold a hull or a cliff without a line.
Hyperplasic MuscleDense, hyperplasic musculature: more fibres per fibre, raw strength written into the meat.
Latent Helix-PsionA latent gene-psion marker: a thread of telepathy or illusion, heritable, and flaggable on any gene-scan.
Light-AverseLight-sensitive eyes: bright light hurts and dazzles, the price of a line bred for the dark.
Rad-Scrub LiningRadiation-hardened metabolism: a thyroid and marrow lining that scavenges rad isotopes before they settle.
Short-LivedAn accelerated metabolic clock: the line burns bright and fast, and ages out early.
Spar-FramedLightweight spar frame: hollow-cored bones and a narrow build, quick and hard to hit, easy to shove.
Spindle ReflexSped neural reflex arc: the body moves on the first signal, before the conscious mind has finished deciding.
Subdermal WeaveEngineered subdermal weave: a reinforcing mesh under the skin that turns blades and slows slugs.
Tapetum OpticLow-light engineered eyes: a reflective tapetum that gathers starlight and deck-glow baseline eyes waste.
Telomere LockHeritable longevity: telomere repair baked into the germline, so the line ages slowly and dies older.
Visible SpliceA visible chimeric splice: features that unsettle baseline stock and mark the bearer as a disallowed line.
Void-Tuned FrameLow-gravity-optimised frame: fluid and fast in null-g, leaden and slow in a full gravity well.
