Star Trek has kind of taught me that you don't have to LOOK alien to really be alien, but honestly Star Trek also has no conception of biochemical barriers (which Mass Effect does have, and ingesting the wrong DNA chemistry leads to very...unfortunate  effects).

I will say the alien thing wasn't the point I was trying to make (it was kind of one of those jokes that honestly might happen). Ozpin could have been a normal human but the powers that be (who could  be aliens mistaken for gods or whateverthejunk) made it so Dust doesn't work for the sole purpose of making sure Ozpin doesn't leave Remnant, including by altering human civilization to develop the technology he needs to escape.
