De-Extinction

The ability to reverse extinction through scientific means. A scientific variation of Extinction Reversal. Opposite to Extinction Inducement.
==Also Called==
*Resurrection Biology
*Species Revivalism
==Capabilities==
Users of this ability can utilize science (or pseudo-science) to reverse the extinction of a species or even several. However, unlike true extinction reversal, often the results are mixed and thus while a species may appear to be revived, they are usually altered in some fashion. This can be slight (meaning the species is almost identical to the previous extinct one) or extremely dramatic (for example Uplifting a species to reverse an extinction).
Cloning is the usual method of choice, but more exotic techniques can be employed such as selective breeding, and in some cases, genetic alteration and even bio-mechanical merging are added to the mix.
==Applications==
(Note: not all of the associations are utilized by every user, rather these are all traits that can be used to bring about de-extinction)
*Biological Manipulation
*Bio-Tech Manipulation
*Breeding Intuition
*DNA Manipulation
*Evolution Manipulation
*Gene-Splicing
*Omni-Cleansing
*Organite Manipulation
*Uplifting
==Associations==
*Almighty Science
*Mad Scientist
*Pseudoscience Manipulation
==Limitations==
*May be extremely destructive, especially if used incorrectly.
*Very rarely restores the species in their entirety, rather creating hybrids of varying degrees.
*Requires some degree of genetic material from the origin species to be available, without which true de-extinction cannot be achieved.
*Often takes time, resources and skill to achieve - making it impracticable for scenarios that require immediate action.
==Known Users==
*Dr. Henry Wu (Jurassic Park) ; via genetic alteration.
*John Hammond (Jurassic Park) ; via genetic-alteration, resulting in specimens near-identical to dinosaurs in appearance.
*Noah Adam Mahn (Extinctioners) ; via uplifting, resulting in dramatic anthropomorphic animals from many species.
