Alphagen is a name given to humans with a unique set of defining characteristics.

Very few people know of Alphagens and the majority of information about their existence and origins is kept top secret by members of the Agrarian Seers. Sparse details are also kept on file by the International Police. In some regions it is a serious crime to reveal such status about someone without permission.

History

The name 'Alphagen' stems from the location these types of humans originate from - an interdimensional location known as the Alphaworld.

Almost all first generation Alphagens arrived in Oci's dimension by accident through interspacial rifts via some form of commercial transport such as aircraft or ship. There have also been cases of deliberate passage.

It is hard to pinpoint exactly when these types of humans gained access to this world, though currently the earliest recorded date is 1966FD.

There are many similarities between the Alphaworld and Oci's dimension, which helps to accommodate displaced Alphagens within it.

Alphagenic Characteristics

Physical

One of an Alphagen's most defining physical differences is their nose, which is rounder and more prominent than other humans'. Not to be mistaken with a bulbous nose obtained through ageing, an Alphagen's nose shape is as such from youth and tends to be its most noticeable on males.

First generation (Alphagens who are not descendants of those that first appeared) Alphagen hair colours only occur in blond, brown, black, grey, white, and certain shades of red.

Additionally, they lack any amount of Pokérol in the bloodstream, so until they've spent a few years eating Pokémon meat, they are physically very fragile.

Most curiously, the Aura energy signatures of Alphagens are of an entirely different frequency to those living in the Pokémon world. Due to the inability to detect or read these energy signatures, scientists originally thought Alphagens had no Aura at all. However, this means that Alphagens are incapable of using Kakureiro and have more difficulty understanding or being understood by Pokémon.

The flip side of this is that they also resist Aura-related abilities- they're immune to non-telekinetic Psychic-type attacks and are hard to sense. In fact, the only psychic-related telepathy-based ability known to get through to them is the ability of Pokémon to understand any spoken language - suggesting that this ability works on a more universal frequency. Unless an Alphagen lives in a place where there are Kakureiro or Cho'moken wielders around, they'll go completely unnoticed, indistinguishable from other humans who don't use Aura.

Mental

They don't always react positively to the sight of pokémon since these do not exist in the Alphaworld, and absolutely despise ghost pokémon. Domestic animalia are another matter. Despite being extremely rare in Oci's dimension, they are prevalent in the Alphaworld and as such, virtually all newly-appeared Alphagens recognize the non-pokémon varieties of cats and dogs.

Like many rich people, they seem find the idea of children being strong enough to survive on their own by the age of ten hard to swallow or even revolting, asserting that it should take almost twice as long to become self-sufficient.

They sometimes make references to things that seemingly don't exist. The claim that the light bulb was invented by someone named either Einstein or Edison and the phrases connecting Phrossan Vikings to a place called 'Minnesota' both seem to originate from this.
