As the Imperial pejorative of Squat suggests, Kin are short and stout humanoids who nonetheless are strong, sturdy, and resilient. This is thanks to genetic templates dubbed [[Cloneskein]]s, which have granted the Kin a variety of physical land and spiritual abilities. Being in essence a genetically engineered cloned species, Kin also have higher red and white blood cell counts, and formidable strength and resilience. Other cloneskeins impart enhanced reaction times, infrared vision, or limited resistance to extreme temperatures, gravity, and radiation. Many cloneskeins manifest physically, whether it be unusually colored eyes or skin, craggy subdermal layers, chemical body odors, or various other giveaways.{{Fn|1b}} New Kin are spawned in cloning vats dubbed [[Crucible (Leagues of Votann)|Crucible]]s, already emerging mostly grown and mentally developed with their base level of knowledge for their tasks ahead.{{Fn|4}}
