Omni

Physiology:

Omni is, upon close examination, a gestalt of independant ameobic [chromatophore]-containing cells. Intercellular communication is done by electromagnetics, and as such, even in the limiting physics it knows, shape, size, color, texture, and count is set on a whim.

In short, Omni is composed of an organic analog of nanites. For the sake of brevity, its cells have been called cellites. There is no specialization within its cellites, so strange and bizarre concepts like organs, bones, and a central nervous system are still stumbling blocks for it.

Despite a lack of specialization, the cells seem to have slight differences, and memory and knowlege is not evenly distributed.

Omni has grown to an extent that most of it is not what is seen and called Omni. Instead, the bulk is hidden away, serving as a storage tank of knowlege and memory, trying to understand the realities of the mess as well as slowly spreading to every warp's nook and cranny.

Origins:

Omni's home is near-forgotten memory. This is not to say Omni does not want to return to its home-moon. It still remembers the methane geysers and beautiful landscapes, the planet and other moons setting in the sky. But knowing what it knows, it probably will never return home, and has almost come to accept that.

There is another memory, however, of travelling to another planet. It is a scientist, and it was sent to study and document the inhabitants there. It took a form similar to the natives there, and began about its duty. This duty has been cut short, however, because Omni is now in the Mess, far away from either the homemoon or the assigned planet. Those two are probably in an entirely different plane of existence.

Unofficially, the best theory put forth is that Omni was a group of cells accidentally left behind in the laundry. These cells were transported to Puzzlebox, the magical land where socks go when they mysteriously dissapear from the wash.

Traits:

Omni does communicate, and it has several means:

Further thoughts about how Omni works is stored in the OOC theories of gestalt.

Known forms:

At first thought, a catalog would be rather pointless, as Omni can change shape on a whim. However, there are a few reoccurring forms that are known to Omni's new friends.

Each form is known to Omni as a mindsim, a simulated mind that has its own personality and traits. This is an adaptation to blend in, and the mindsims are only partially autonomous, as memory and knowledge is shared, and the mindsims are aware that they are just characters of the actor that is Omni.

Buddings

Omni has already created progeny, using its nature to send colonies of cellites to be with others, including:

Buddings have unique personalities and identities independant of Omni, strongly dependent on the state of Omni at the time of budding. When meeting up with a budding, a sync is customary, to tell each other of their experiences.
