Clones are just genetically identical people. Identical twins are naturally occurring clones. They're someone else entirely. If my player tried to clone his character and use it for spare parts, I would give him a DSP for each part! And I'm lenient on DSPs. If he just wanted a clone in general, I'd run him as an NPC.

The clone is like a twin. How identical it will be to the original will depend on whether Star Wars cloning is more identical than real world cloning. Note that in the real world cloned animals often do not look identical.
| Quote: | | For example, the first cat to be cloned, named Cc, is a female calico cat that looks very different from her mother. The explanation for the difference is that the color and pattern of the coats of cats cannot be attributed exclusively to genes. A biological phenomenon involving inactivation of the X chromosome (See sex chromosome) in every cell of the female cat (which has two X chromosomes) determines which coat color genes are switched off and which are switched on. The distribution of X inactivation, which seems to occur randomly, determines the appearance of the cat's coat. |
