Yeah, his "skin" is a nonsentient Ateros though it functions as an actual portal to the portion of space shown through it... Yet somehow he's able to pick things up and wear clothes and such. Yes, it doesn't make much sense, and he doesn't really know how it works either, just that it does.
Ezvrael or U would probably be able to give a better explaination though it wouldn't make a lot of sense.
As far as I can tell you hate everything, so I'm not as offended by that as I would normally be.
"Look I'm programmable matter that has decided to constrain itself to the physical limitations of a human being"
First of all, programmable matter, or nanites, are basically the worst thing to have in a narrative, they're either always underutilized, or horribly abused. The explanation behind them usually goes something like this:
Which literally explains nothing...
I originally had rules for them, though nobody really paid much attention so I just gave up with getting those to apply to everyone. You'll notice that any I've had control of have generally been limited to one or two forms and have all sorts of issues caused by the barely understood and buggy technology.
Secondly, I know Shopkeep's Ateros makes especially little sense, which is probably because I retroactively retconned his form into being sustained by Ateros. That's what happens when you try to integrate what was originally intended to be an intentionally-overpowered one-off joke character into the story because they ended up being surprisingly popular. If it's any consolation, his Ateros has been all but completely destroyed with only a few fragments remaining at best, and he himself is pretty much gone for good. He may show up a few more times but he's pretty much been phased out of the semiserious "story" completely.
Hell, I don't even know if I'll ever continue the RP since I continue to have zero motivation to do anything anymore asides from sheer boredom.
