Dodeca Earth Fact of the Day: Horses are a nearly extinct species, passionately sought out by biotech companies to patent and clone their dna build.
Meanwhile, there have been others attempting to replicate the species via biobuilding their own, but most have some odd Quirk that far seperates them from what a horse would be. Many of them have horns, or wings, or both, or some other weird addition- no one can seem to get them right. These bizarre rejected attempts populate the world alongside the donkeys that are plentiful in leu of horse scarcity.
#as a reminder my character world has a LOT of bioengeneering and bioengeneering companies#who yes straight up patent or copyright entire species so no one else can make them#its a complocated process but they can even sort of poison their dna so that#if some company grabs ahold of their copyright species and borrows some dna to clone it#it wont work and the cells just die before they take form#they either need a key ie some chemical concoction only known to the parent company that can break that poison#or. they establish the dna poison after a certain age and clone the unpoisoned zygotes indefinetly while keeping them under lock and key#its a complicated process. just understand that this is capitalism but if it had cloning and bioengeneering#oc lore#ofotw#ill do a general world theme this week. about dodeca and such
