"I thought the stars looked like they were about to fall."
When Clear is first introduced in the game, he's described as very strange in a haphazard and almost whimsical way: he meets Aoba for the first time after suddenly falling off the roof of a building, calls him "Master", and wears a gas mask. It's enough to scare anyone and Aoba, along with the others in the group, is initially quite wary of him. However, as the game progresses, Clear slowly develops from just the token comic relief character to a more well-rounded one with courage and a strong will to protect others.
Not much is revealed in the beginning about Clear aside from his vaguely airheaded, eccentric demeanor and his tendency to speak in "riddles", according to Aoba. He's cheery, he's polite, and sometimes can even come off as a crybaby at times, making him seem somewhat of a pushover. He also has a very energetic and childish personality, often getting excited over the smallest of things and providing a nice contrast to Noiz and Mink's stoic behavior. His cheerfulness and eccentricity (in not only his behavior, but the way he dresses as well) are usually what sets the others off about him and they're not quite sure what to make of him. This is explained later in his route: in truth, Clear is an artificial intelligence created by Toue who used him as his tool to brainwash people through Dye Music, a song that could literally "dye" people's brains. Being a robot, Clear views the world with a childlike curiosity and his concept of things such as life and death are very limited. In his route, he often asks Aoba questions about what happens to humans after they die and what it really means to be alive.
As Clear's route progresses, it's revealed that he has a lot of insecurities and is actually very emotional for a robot. He's very insecure about his appearance and he refuses to take off his gas mask for Aoba even after numerous requests. Initially, Clear's grandfather had told him to never take off his mask, leaving Clear to believe that people will come to hate him after seeing his real face. However, this mostly stems from the fact that Clear's grandfather wanted to protect him from being discovered by Toue, who had ordered Clear's disposal as a defective unit prior to the start of the game. It takes multiple reassurances from Aoba before Clear hesitantly takes off his mask, and the first thing he asks Aoba is if they look the same -- if he looks like a human and not a robot.
And that's essentially the root of his sort of existential crisis throughout the game. Clear wants to be alive, he wants to be regarded as a human and not a robot or a monster: a heartless, soulless being only to be used by his creator for destruction. Clear wants to feel like a human, wants to love like a human, and ultimately, wants to live like one. It's because of these reasons that he doesn't want to return to Toue and risks his life to protect Aoba from the alphas, cutting out his own key lock so he could fight back despite knowing that his body would deteriorate.
At his core, Clear is an almost painfully sweet being who just wants his loved ones to be happy. Though he knows that he will outlive everyone (and it's something that plagues him often), it doesn't stop him from taking the chance to show how much he cares about people, to live in the moment and not worry so much about what may happen in the future.
Abilities/Powers:
Being a robot, Clear possesses strength and speed above that of a normal human. He can take as much as he can dish out, which is a hell of a lot, since he can fend off multiple gang members at once without them leaving so much as a scratch on him. The only time he actually sustains any damage is during his fight with the alphas, who, being advanced models, areharder better fasterstronger than him. What sets Clear apart from the others however, is his ability to sing the "Jellyfish Song": a song that negates the effects of Dye Music.
Items/Weapons: Just his clear umbrella, gas mask, and the clothes on his back.
