The cloning of Darth Acheron would first be funded by Empire Reborn and then later by the Second Imperium. The cloning could take place on Wayland. I do not know whether Darth Acheron would be able to move as a Force ghost, but if the management does not permit it, the clone would have the genetic knowledge of everything Darth Acheron has prior to his death. I was hoping to look at this as a failsafe plan set in motion in event of Acheron's death, and that the clone would be awakened years later. Then he'd set out to do some work for the Second Imperium, along with personal missions for himself, causing destruction as usual.

Oh, one more thing, if this is approved, i'd like for Darth Acheron to wear customized armor and mask as not to reveal his identity to many.

Thank you for taking your time and read this.

As the person who killed Acheron, I feel kind of bad voting to DENY this request. However, cloning generally hasn't been approved (indeed, situations such as this one are mentioned in Rule 1B). There are also two practical problems; 1.) cloning technology is rare and neither the Empire Reborn or Second Imperium had access to it, and 2.) to my knowledge, clones can't be genetically engineered to have the memories and experiences of the original person—when this occurs in the canon, it's not because of genetics but, rather, a miraculous mastery of the Force that I don't think Acheron would have achieved with only his few months of self training. I don't think Brakiss or Hethrir would be able to do so either, even if they did have the technology.

There's some inconsistency on this point, however, insofar as Isard was known to "update the memory" of her clone on a regular basis and it's never apparently explained how. But I digress.

Just one suggestion, if you want to keep Acheron's memory alive, as an alternative you might consider making a new character from the Second Imperium, unrelated to Darwin, who also calls himself "Darth Acheron" in honor of the original one whose life he might have studied?

For TB related purposes, I must regrettably vote to DENY this, mostly because if such cloning was pre-approved before his death, it would be more believable. While I don't believe that Acheron is attempting to use deux ex machina to his advantage here in resurrecting a character, I do think that it's too coincidental that a character happens to of had a carbon copy. Sorry man!

Consider this:
