Ishtar (TL9)
20 points
The Ishtar genetic upgrade is intended to cater to the desires of parents and creche-groups who want a child optimized for professions such as vid star, dancer, pop singer, model and so on. Designers selected a light, "elfin" build and a facial bone structure that computer-simulations indicated would produce distinctive but highly attractive looks. An extra feature was an augmented liver.
They also deliberately modified the neurochemistry with sequences believed to enhance ego and competitiveness. Some believe they went a bit too far...
