Spectralopia ("Spectral Eye") is a range of inheritable conditions possessed by Mass Produced Humans and their Offshoot descendants.
Overview
Spectralopia first emerged during the creation of the first generation of Mass-Produced Humans, in which they would develop unusual characteristics of the eyes as a side-effect of the cloning process. 1 out of 10 would have strange eye colours, such as red, pink, yellow or purple, termed Type-01 Spectralopia. 5 out of 10 had a glittery, metallic sheen to their eyes, termed Type-02 Spectralopia. Individuals with both were termed to have Advanced Spectralopia. Later batches of mass-produced humans would have Type-01 and Advanced Spectralopia ironed out of them thanks to refinements in the cloning process, but they would still have a 1 out of 50 chance of developing Type-02. Spectralopia persists as a condition to this day as a result of Offshoots inheriting it from their parents.
