Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Cloning Procedures

The inner reflection comes alive in Russet Aperture. Staring into your own eyes through the pure waters of the hidden paradise, your darkest secrets and harshest truths will manifest in a mirror of your own flesh. Most find it useful to summon such a synchronized partner, but some will learn that they truly are their own worst enemy.

In addition to paying 200 spirits to create a clone, your character must also meet the following qualifications:

It must be at least 180 days after their biography was accepted.
They must have at least 200 posts.
They must have at least 120 overall stats.

To create a clone, make a thread labeled "Cloning." Write a 200-400 word IC post describing your character viewing their reflection and any personal ritual they desire to invoke their true selves. Next, post in Invocation to alert staff. 200 spirits will be deducted from your IC account.
In an OOC note within your post, provide your character's "core trait," which is their deepest, most buried version of themselves. This is an emotion or characteristic that is at the very heart of their personality, even if it completely contradicts their outward behavior--a sweet, loving character may have an evil core trait if their most oppressed and driving force is dark, such as envy. The core trait must be a single term, such as "compassionate" or "fear of death," but may include a few paragraphs for further explanation if desired. It cannot contain more than 1 trait, emotion, or drive. For example, it might be "arrogance," but it cannot be "arrogance, greed, and hatred" combined.
For proof, provide a link to their biography, a tracker if they have one, and link to at least 5 IC posts where the character has demonstrated this core trait, whether in their actions, thoughts, emotions, or dialogue. To link to a specific post, hit "Options," select "Link to Post," and copy from "Link to this post in this thread." If the staff member feels your proposed core trait is not the most accurate choice, they will discuss it with you to arrive at the best solution. This may involve successfully convincing staff that you selected the proper trait or negotiating a new trait that is more fitting.
Every character is allowed only 1 clone at a time. This clone acts like a companion to your horse. They can be posted and used the same as a regular character except they do not have a personal account and they cannot be in a thread without their original counterpart, although the original may post without their clone's presence. They can communicate intelligently, move freely, and the original character cannot control them. However, their personality is rigidly composed of the core trait. They are less dynamic than a real character would be; they religiously adhere to their black-and-white disposition and do not develop over time or with experience. They are simply what they were made to be: an impression cast from the mold their original made in the moment they were summoned.
Clones do not receive any secondary effects from their original, such as: sensory powers, energy abilities, armor, horeseshoes, contribution specialties, protection tiers, bonds between companions, powers through soul binding and unification, herd ranks, and rebirth. They cannot be ridden by humans or act as a tamed horse. While they may have the aesthetic appearance of features made through the item functional, they cannot have any offensive, defensive, or evasive power it lends. For example, if the original character has wings through functional, then the clone can have wings but will be unable to fly. If desired, you may purchase and apply functional items to a clone in order to recreate the original's ability.
A clone may be dismissed at any point by posting in Invocation but then can only be recreated by repeating this process, including paying the fee. Recreated clones have the same personality as their previous version; therefore, the same OOC note of their earlier cloning process can be simply copied and pasted, though the IC section must always be unique. The only time a clone's core trait will change, thus requiring a new OOC note describing their core trait, is if the original character has evolved since they last completed the cloning process. For example, a truly life-changing experience, like a trauma, may be a significant enough catalyst to warrant inner evolution. You may choose if the memories of the previous clone are retained or if they should be removed for a fresh clone.
Core traits must be followed. If a clone is found to be fluctuating too drastically, staff will send a reminder of the clone's restraints. Clones may be permanently removed if there are repeated issues, but only in extreme and unreasonable cases.
The clone will mirror their original's appearance at the time of its summoning. If the original develops later on, such as gaining new scars or longer hair, the clone will not adapt and small differences will become visible between them. To update the clone's appearance, this process must be repeated.
Horses who have produced a successful clone have it indicated in their mini-profile by a staff member. If you choose to dismiss your clone, please post in Invocation so staff can remove this marker.
