Genes

Genes are a system for adding capabilties to human pawns.

Metabolism, denoted by the symbol, is a measure of how much food a colonist needs to eat. Negative traits will increase their metabolism, meaning they need to eat less food, while positive traits will decrease their metabolism, meaning they need to eat more food. The metabolism counter caps at -5 (250% food intake) and 5 (50% food intake). You can have a metabolism higher than 5, but the food needed will not go below 50%. You can not have a metabolism below -5.

Complexity, denoted by the symbol, is a measure of how complex the genetic makeup of a colonist will be. It affects the amount of time needed to regrow the colonist's genes, if need be.

Name	Description
Gene implanter	Carriers of this gene can implant a copy of their xenogerm into another person through a somewhat gross-looking injector organ. Their own genetic material will then regrow very slowly. If they implant while their genes are regrowing, they will die. Adds ability: Implant Genes Passes on a copy of all xenogenes to a target. Causes genes to regrow for 2 years afterwards. Using this ability while genes are regrowing kills the pawn.	0	3	1
Perfect immunity	Carriers of this gene have archite-enhanced immune systems which intelligently destroy invaders. They are totally immune to most normal illnesses. Immune to Flu, Malaria, Sleeping sickness, Plague, Infection, and Lung rot. These are all the diseases that are fatal and that adult colonists can acquire.	0	3	1
Non-senescent	Carriers of this gene do not go through senescence in the normal way. They never get chronic age-related diseases like cancer, bad back, cataracts, or dementia. Total immunity to carcinoma, heart attack, and chronic conditions (Alzheimer's, Asthma, Artery blockage, Cataracts, Dementia, Frail, but not Hearing Loss).	0	3	1
Scarless	Carriers of this gene have a special type of regenerator cell which can heal old wounds and chronic illnesses like bad back. Heals 1 scar, permanent injury, or age-related condition (Alzheimer's, Asthma, Cataracts, Carcinoma, Dementia, Frail, Hearing Loss and Blindness) every 15-30 days, akin to (and alongside) luciferium.	0	4	1
Ageless	Carriers of this gene have archites in the bloodstream which continuously reverse the process of aging. Starting at the age of 13, carriers begin to biologically age slower. By 18, the aging process stops completely. Aging ?x at age 13 Aging 0x at age 18	0	3	1
Deathless	Carriers of this gene have archites in the blood which will sustain their life processes no matter what. As long as the brain remains intact, a carrier of this gene will never die. If a pawn would've died, but the brain (or head) is not directly destroyed, they enter into a regenerative coma. This coma lasts until otherwise fatal conditions are removed, then 7 days after that. Does not regenerate limbs or organs, except for the torso[And?]. Pawns with the Deathrest gene instead enter deathrest. After lethality is removed, the usual deathrest mechanics take place.	0	7	1
Archite metabolism	Carriers of this gene have special archites in their cells that facilitate and optimize metabolism. This improves overall genetic and metabolic quality. Increases metabolic efficiency. No other effect.	+6	6	2

Notes

• If a pawn with Deathless gene and a Deadrest gene takes lethal damage, it will go into an involuntary Deadrest. Their hemogen reserves will also be emptied. This deadrest works like normal deadrest and can be interrupted early, though doing that while their injuries are still lethal will immediately start a new involuntary Deadrest.
• If a pawn with Deathless gene and without a Deadrest gene takes lethal damage, it will go into a regeneration coma. The coma will end in seven days, but will only tick down while their injuries are non-lethal. Their hemagen reserves will not change if they are Hemogenic.
• Genes that are restricted for specific xeno humans will cause a bug if its present at humans not belonging to said xeno races. (i.e: unable to draft)
