ENDOGENOUS METAMORPHOSIS

Endogenous metamorphosis is one of the most invasive gene therapy procedures.  It is not just a chain of injections to induce a single mutation, but a series of carefully planned retroviruses causing multiple mutations.  Normally a character is limited to one retrovirus before drawbacks begin to occur.  This line of retroviruses was carefully designed to prevent overlapping in areas of critical DNA for each mutation.  This allows multiple retroviruses to coexist without penalty. 

The gene therapy regiment required for endogenous metamorphosis and the speed of change is so intense the first phase merely puts the character into a medically induced coma and causes their body to produce a cocoon-like structure.  When the character emerges from the cocoon days later, they will have gained one of the Gene Therapy Templates. For additional information on gene therapy templates see Section 3 Genetic Templates.

The level and price is determined by the Genetic Template gained.  Although endogenous metamorphosis is the product of several retrovirus applications, the Genetic Template is treated as a single retrovirus in all respects.
