Appearance
Da'an's appearance is that of a small, slender humanoid with a bald head and no gender-specific characteristics. His voice is pitched too low for a woman and too high for a man, adding to his androgynous appearance (exactly how he produced Zo'or is open to speculation). His eyes are a brilliant cobalt blue, and his skin ranges from pale human tones to pure white. He wears an "exocovering," ranging from black to purplish-blue, which apparently acts like a second skin.
In reality, Da'an has few of these characteristics – like all Taelons, he is primarily made of energy, and a little matter mixed in. He is actually translucent and made out of channels of glowing blue energy, with some vestigial characteristics like eyes and mouth. Since he is primarily energy, Da'an cannot be injured by bullets or knives, although these can pierce his exocovering and rip it.

The dove in the belly builds his nest and coos,

Like excellence collecting excellence?”
