Clones are Jinteki's answer to labor solutions: biological bodies grown via AIVM, minds shaped by neural conditioning from braintape models. They look human because they are organic—yet law and prejudice rarely grant personhood.

Lines (Henry labor, Tenma drivers, Omoi security, Nisei experiments, etc.) specialize roles. Escaped or "defective" clones drive adventures (SotB hooks: Escaped Property). PC clone archetype is core to SotB themes.
