Archite

Name Description Metabolism Complexity
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. 0 3

Ability

Name Description Metabolism Complexity
Acid Spray Carriers grow glands in the neck that generate and store a sticky acid substance, along with acid-tolerant tissues in the mouth. They can spew this acid over an area, where it will stick to enemies and burn them over time. -2 1

|- id="Animal Warcall" ! Animal Warcall | Carriers of this gene can perform an animal warcall, using a powerful bellow and psychic connection to call an animal to fight for them. | -3 | 1

|- id="Foam Spray" ! Foam Spray | Carriers grow glands in the neck that generate and store a fire-retardant foam. They can spew this foam over an area to extinguish fires. | -2 | 1

|- id="Fire Spew" ! Fire Spew | Carriers are able to spew flammable bile generated by a special organ in their neck. The bile sticks to anything in a small area and can ignite people, objects, and the ground. | -2 | 1

Hemogen

Name Description Metabolism Complexity
Hemogenic Carriers of this gene have a reserve of biological strength powered by a resource called hemogen. The resource can be gained and spent in various ways, all of which are unlocked by other genes. Carriers lose 2 hemogen per day from biological entropy. 1 1
Hemogen drain Carriers lose an additional 8 hemogen per day from biological entropy. 6 1

|- id="Coagulate" ! Coagulate | Carriers of this gene have special glands on their hands and wrists, as well as a unique salivary compound that they can use to rapidly tend wounds. | -1 | 1

|- id="Bloodfeeder" ! Bloodfeeder | Carriers of this gene have small retractable fangs and an organ on the roof of the mouth which can extract hemogen from fresh warm blood. They can bite an unresisting person, suck the blood, and gain hemogen directly. | -1 | 1

|- id="Longjump Legs" ! Longjump Legs | Carriers have special hemogen-powered muscle fibers in their legs which allow them to jump great distances. | -2 | 1

|- id="Piercing Spine" ! Piercing Spine | Carriers grow an opening in their upper chest along with a quiver of keratin spines. Using a hemogen-powered chemical reaction, they can fire these spines at high speed at nearby targets with surprising accuracy. | -1 | 1

|- id="Deathrest" ! Deathrest | NA | 6 | 1

Psychic

Name Description Metabolism Complexity
psychic bonding Carriers of this gene have a special neural organ that makes them psychically bond with a lover for life. As long as the lovers are together, they will be happy. If they are physically separated, they will be disturbed by the distance. If one dies, the other's mind will be badly disrupted. -1 1

Miscellaneous

Name Description Metabolism Complexity
furskin Carriers of this gene grow thick fur all over their body, which protects them from cold temperatures. -1 1

elongated fingers Long, delicate fingers improve the carrier's manipulation capacity. This aids with many tasks, especially crafting and construction. -1 1
nearsighted Carriers of this gene have difficulty seeing at a distance. Their shooting accuracy at long ranges is reduced. 2 0
strong stomach Carriers of this gene have an extra toxin-filtering organ in their stomach and will never suffer from food poisoning even after eating rotten food. -1 0
dark vision Carriers of this gene see well in low light and are unaffected by mood penalties related to darkness. They have a reflective layer behind the retina that amplifies their ability to see in the dark. -1 0
inbred This genetic condition affects a person's fertility, immunity, and mental capacity. -2 0
robust digestion Carriers of this gene grow a multi-fold stomach, allowing them to digest raw foods more efficiently than baseline humans. In general, they get the same nutrition from raw food as from if it is cooked. They also don't mind the taste of raw food at all. -2 2
mild cell instability Carriers of this gene need less metabolic energy to stay alive, at the cost of reduced stability in their cell-replication machinery. 2 0
major cell instability Carriers of this gene need much less metabolic energy to stay alive, at the cost of greatly-reduced stability in their cell-replication machinery. 4 0
pollution stimulus Carriers of this gene get a chemical rush from being exposed to pollution. This makes them move faster and helps them think clearer. A similar gene is found in combat-engineered mega-insects. -1 1
unstoppable Carriers of this gene are not slowed down when taking damage. -2 1

Movement

Name Description Metabolism Complexity

Resistance and Sensitivity

Name Description Metabolism Complexity
partial antitoxic lungs Carriers of this gene are resistant to environmental toxins. They get less toxic buildup from tox gas, polluted terrain, and toxic fallout, but are still vulnerable to direct attacks with venom or injected poison. Additionally, they build up rot stink exposure slower. -1 0
total antitoxic lungs Carriers of this gene are immune to environmental toxins, but not from direct toxic attacks. They get no toxic buildup from tox gas, polluted terrain, or toxic fallout, and they are not bothered by acidic smog. They are still vulnerable to direct attacks like venom and injected poison. Additionally, they are immune to rot stink exposure. -3 2
fire resistant Carriers of this gene have special fast-acting sweat glands and heat-resistant skin. They only take 25% of the normal damage from fire. The chance of them catching on fire is also drastically reduced. -2 0
