The year is 3259 on the Empyrian callender. Cloning humans has been banned for nearly a thousand years; however a similar technology, the Symbiote Program, has come to the forefront during that time. as a way to get around the moral dilema of clones, and all that it entails, companies had created symbiotes instead. two bodies, controlled by a single conciousness. one brain doing all the work to keep two seperate biological bodies functioning. of course, government agiencies quickly put a limit on each person only being able to connect to a single symbyote once in their lifetimes.
