Blokes

Blokes

Each of the 41 known Clone species created during the Bionetic Age of United Earth is a sad testament to human greed and capacity for immoral acts.

While the big Gene Clone companies spend billions in research to develop a Super Soldier or a biological alternative to robots, there were start ups and small operators who wanted to cash in on the Bio-Boom.

One such company was Work-Blokes LTD founded by a Genetic Engineer and a businessman in London, England Earth.

Their only product were the Purple Blokes (later simply known as Blokes)

The only DNA manipulation was the elimination of body hair and a purple skin tone. Blokes were human in all other regards. The company kept the females in prison like breeding farms while they sold the males. They advertised them as perfectly engineered human bio bots.

About 700,000 Blokes were produced. Blokes were among the most active clones during the revolt and the clone war. They were also among the angriest.

Like all other Gene Clones they were recognized as their own species and United Earth offered them a planet of their own. The Blokes refused to be "exiled" and rather wanted to select their colonies individually.

Blokes left with other colonists in small groups.

The added genetic traits that distrinquished the Blokes are virtually gone after almost 3000 years of mingling with other members of the species Homo Galactus.

The last census identified less than 3000 individuals identifying themselves as Blokes or of Bloke descent.
