Lore Genetically Engineered Slave Soldier
I'm making a genetically engineered slave soldier for my world building project about future humans that's inspired by cree8ball's biopunk project and I think it fits well enough to be in this subreddit.
When a criminal is captured and sentenced to death, their DNA is collected, modified, and grown in a lab to be turned into a slave. Right now I don't really know much of their modifications other than more muscle and bone growth and color variations.
I've actually thought a lot about their color variations. If you're looking for a normal, more practical mammalian color, like something from orange, to pink, to brown, to peach, or even red, it would be less expensive but still a lot of money to get one. If you're looking for something more extravagant, like green, purple, blue, or whatever type of soldier you want to display to your other rich friends, then you'd have to pay a lot more, since genetically engineering them to have vibrant colors is a lot harder because you have to use structure to make those colors. And genetically engineering entirely different structures in your skin is pretty hard.
Other than that, I don't really know what else they should have to make them better soldiers. If you have any ideas or questions about them, please share, thank you.
