Homunculus is born when a clone creation fails. They look, talk, act, and even have the memories of the person they have replicate, but have a twisted outlook on life.They are born with a gnawing void in their soul that slowly consumes them, causing them to strive to become whole again. They tend to use everyone around them like pawns in order to achieve that goal. On the rare occasion though, there are some Homunculi who love their newfound power, and scoff at the thought being reverted back into a lower life form. While they tend to be callous and keep to themselves, they tend to be an ordinary individual. Homunculi are known to look down at everything else as an inferior being.
