on clear’s physiology.
Clear being Omega’s heart is not only a metaphorical sense, but also physical. i’ll get into some of the frankenstein’s monster that is Omega’s physiology—that’s what the architects get for playing Tiamat and Bahamut, i guess—in another post, but what’s relevant right now is that Clear is composed of the antimatter from Omega’s limbic system and of the antimatter that formed Omega’s literal heart.
Clear was very unstable at first awakening because his antimatter kept trying to find the other antimatter parts it was dependent on. over years, Clear became more stabilized as his composition adapted to be capable of independent survival. he did his best to physically mimic some of the Whole’s physiology, and subconsciously adopted a solid humanoid form to “blend in” with matter-folk.
—cont. under cut
Clear’s hair is coarse to the touch (barring you haven’t been disintegrated already) and acts as a surprisingly tough cushion for his head.
he has eyes with slit pupils that allow him vision in a variety of light levels. he also has a “third eyelid”-like film that he commonly has closed when wearing his flying water suit in order to protect his eyes from the liquid; this gives his eyes a pupil-less, seemingly unfocused appearance. Clear is rather nearsighted and has decent vision, but he can’t fully compensate for being without an Eye.
Clear has exposed veins spidering out from his core. these veins carry the antimatter that’s more “tender” than the one that forms his skin-like exoskeleton. he could not cover these veins with any other antimatter—in his mimic-biology, they’re a major component of how he breathes, much like the Whole’s streamlined veins on its sides.
Clear, as a whole, is a heart, so that’s one part that he did not need to mimic or compensate for. his atrium/core is simply an indicator of where his veins meet and acts like a bit of a hub.
he’s multi-jointed, a result of a mishmash between humanoid mimicry and mimicry of the Whole. It works out since he has no internal skeleton.
he has claws and talons, another attempt to compensate for a trait of the Whole that he’s missing.
his exoskeleton hardens even further on his hands and feet since those are highly-used features in a humanoid shape.
Clear does have gills on the sides of his chest. they’re a critical part of his respiratory system and allow him to breathe easier in flying water; this way he doesn’t suffocate due to suppression of his antimatter body.
some last tidbits: the way Clear breathes would seem erratic to the average human. instead of a steady in and out flow, Clear breathes in bursts synchronized to a heartbeat befitting a large being. in, out … in, out … in, out … and repeat. if you listen closely enough, you can actually hear a heartbeat underneath the sound of his breathing.
