doodle of some first generation style genelines that prioritized style over function. you can still see these patterns emerge in the modern era, and its not unheard of for well preserved citadels to still have the technology to make designer babies like this. however a lot of loamcats find it impractical, wasteful, and sacrilegious (or adjacent) to use the technology for something so surface-level

#labz.txt #ghost's art tag #setting: tnnerp #species: loamcat #spec bio #speculative biology #basically being one of these guys in the modern era means youre a living symbol of your parent family's hubris and excessive wealth #though it depends on culture and circumstance if youll be shunned for it #a lot of citadels with these capabilities will utilize this gene editing technology solely for healthcare reasons #or to create artificial genetic diversity in a species with a dwindling population #to solely use it for aesthetics goes against a lot of culturally engineered attitudes about responsible use of technology
