Clone

You were born yesterday.

Well, maybe not yesterday, but you do not have a full history the way that others do. Any memories you may have are implanted, and skills and knowledge pre-programmed via advanced genetic engineering and DNA splicing. There’s not much stigma about clones, but they can inspire a little jealousy at times, being slightly ‘better’ at many things than naturally born individuals.

The person from whom a clone is copied is known as the ‘template.’

Who are you a clone of, and why? Did you escape from a facility or were you cared for as you learned about the world? Why are you off adventuring, away from those who created you? Are you a single clone, or were there many of you–even an army?

Rapid Healing

Your genetic makeup allows you to heal slightly faster than most others. When you spend a hit die to recover hit points, you recover an extra hit point per die.
Adventures and Advancement

You were a clone of somebody–your template–and they may decide to seek you out, either to know you, or to destroy you. Alternatively, the facility which created you may seek to recover you.
