Give the chance for a random mutation at spawn

Obviously things like being blind or deaf are out of the question but i doubt nanotrasen paid top dollar for these clones, there's gonna be some mutations

Why not make it a trait?

Actually that's perfect, just have it be a genetic trait thing that you can't lose, and also can't take robust genetics to compensate

you could even split this into three traits, a costly one with a "good" or at least non-harmful power, a less expensive one that gives you whatever, and one that gives you back a point that gives you a bad mutation

Features are fun, but being punished for literally no reason is dumb.

Trait, you're choosing to make your life terrible, and is therefore not a bad idea a potential feature.

Wasn't this an early trait? It was taken out because the station turned into X-men Station 13 where everyone who got crappy powers would suicide at roundstart while the rest would run around shooting psychic hulks with their laser eyes.

[Technature]

Maybe make it only negative or neutral genes then?

[Newtonsolo]

Maybe have it be 1 weak good trait and 1 weak bad trait

For a dumb thought what if the good power trait was tied to an achievement.

EX-Maeen: Have 3 units of every radioactive chemical in your system. (The lame joke being that you're an "ex-man", because in all likelyhood you might be dead or severely mutated.)
