Synthetics
 |
Synthetics is a 47 page guide to synthetic humans for the HOSTILE setting (compatible with Cepheus Engine). Clones get the treatment first¸ from the avatars of the multi-millionaires who just can't bear the thought of death¸ to the illegal clone convicts¸ the replicants¸ and the mass produced 'proles'¸ the genetically enhanced workers given two-bit memory implants and sent to work on the worst worlds imaginable. And then there are the Zeds... clones coming straight out of a Blomkamp movie...
Androids are described in full: advantages¸ disadvantages¸ and an enhanced construction checklist with a number of extra options. You can now buy cheap! Don't spend $990¸000 on a new epsilon-generation model¸ save your bucks with a pre-used delta or if you don't mind an android with a head 'like a novelty condom'¸ buy a gamma. Costs as much as a city car. Shawn Fisher has given us a great assessment of how these artificial people are treated¸ what their rights are and what uses such tools are being put to.
