[Personality]
If Allen were to be assigned a color for his personality spectrum, it would have to be a light gray. He has plenty of good aspects but a fair number of more dubious and darker ones as well. This will be explained step by step in the below sections.
White:
On the surface, Allen is an extremely polite and friendly young man. Due to his upbringing with Mana, he has certainly learned the social skills befitting of a young gentleman. He can act in a civilized manner towards anyone he meets for the first time. However, that is subject to change depending on further interactions. A prime example of this is Allen's first encounter with Kanda. Even though the man had just tried to kill him, Allen was still willing to shake hands since they would work together in the future.
He is kind, compassionate and mostly a person who cannot help but try to help anyone he sees in need of assistance. This also applies to people who were enemies only moments before, as he demonstrated when he wanted to take Tyki Mikk with him after he thought he exorcised the Noah. He thinks all humans deserve to live. This belief also extended to some non humans as well such as the living doll named Lala.
Allen has a strong sense justice as well so he always makes sure wrongdoers get punished for their actions. He also cannot forgive those who take advantage of the suffering of others and will not hesitate to crush and punish them. One such example can be seen in his reverse novel when Allen encounters one of the Earl’s Broker’s. They are people who cause tragedies for the Earl to use to make AKUMA. Allen almost strangled the man with his Innocence hand at that time.
Allen hates sacrifices. Even though he is a fighter in a merciless war, he strives to prevent innocent sacrifices as much as possible. This also means that he feels his failures that much more. In his words, he "wants to be a destroyer that can save" Because of this, he tends to jump in, head first, into danger with little regard for his own well being. Though that aspect of his has improved since the literal bitch-slap from Lenalee, back in the Rewinding Town, he will still push himself beyond his limits to fight and to protect those in need. When his body is beaten beyond measure and his ability to move out of the question, he will use that undying determination to keep going, even if it means using his own Innocence to operate himself like a puppet.
Despite being friendly and caring towards those he meets, there are very few who he really opens up to even if that usually happens without him realizing it. He is also never the one to start a conversation unless he has to. On the other hand, if others approach him he will humor them if he does not have a bad history with the person in question. So while he may engage in friendly chatter with anyone who may approach him, he is in fact on his guard and quite likely getting a read on the person he is speaking to. The only people he truly drops his guard around, are those he considers trustworthy such as Johnny and especially Lenalee who seems to have the ability to read into his real thoughts, an ability that no one else around him has had before which makes it something he can never get used to.
Allen is someone who takes his work very seriously since he has worked in countless hard labor jobs from a very young age, all for the sake of paying his master's monstrous debts. He takes his work as an Exorcist even more seriously due to his personal goal to save both humans and the souls of the AKUMA. He is a devoted comrade to most of the other Exorcists. Yes that does include Kanda as well even if he is more likely to exchange verbal sniping with the man when not fighting the enemy.
In fact his dedication to the war and the AKUMA have given him quite the dependency. He believes that his only purpose is to be an Exorcist, a living human weapon with the power to save humans and to release the souls enslaved inside the AKUMA. Because of that, he has a hard time picturing a normal life. Even though he is pretty self-adjusted he sees himself as a soldier first before anything else. He can adapt to a more peaceful environment but for that he needs outside support. The war has also left him little to no time to think about relationships, though he does have a vague understanding of romance. Sadly he fails to apply that to himself so he still is a bit dense in that aspect.
Allen is not someone who is ashamed to show his emotions. If he feels like crying he will cry. If he feels angry you will know it by the feeling of his boot in your ass or head, he's not picky. The only time he will hide his emotions is when he knows that showing them would sadden his friends. Because of that, Allen can smile even in the darkest times. If it's for the sake of others then he will smile even if the situation is not one to smile about.
He has a very high level of pride and usually does not allow any insults go unanswered. It was also this pride that had him fight off becoming one of the zombies after he got bit by the Matron (another of the disasters brought about by supervisor Komui’s work). You could argue that pride is also a factor in his resisting the 14th's takeover. It is still on a lower level than his desire to keep his friends safe but it IS there.
Despite this, Allen is a humble person and will most of the time, pass his deeds off as something anyone would do in his position. He does not boast his successes in ways that belittle others. Unless you are someone he does not get along with or if it is about poker. That's when the card demon takes over. At that point you are better off running before he strips you naked in poker. Though it seems even then he has scruples and refuses to do such things to those of the female gender as stated in an interview where he answered that the only ones who would win against him would be Lenalee and Lala since he would cheat to lose.
He is also very adaptable as long as he has the skills required to do so. He also learns from his mistakes, at least the mistakes that don't contradict his beliefs and oaths. Which are many so it is possible to argue that he doesn't learn at all. Even his oaths and way of living can suffer slight alterations, but he can never give up on any of them entirely. This applies to his self sacrificing behavior and the desire to save others, as well.
I've spoken quite a bit about his positive white aspect while hinting at a more darker one. Time to move on to the deeper hidden side of Allen Walker.
Black
There is no lie in saying that Allen is a goody two shoes and a big softy most of the time. But these were things that were only added to who he already was. His experiences forged him into such a young man. But not all of his experiences were positive. In this section I will speak of his less positive traits.
Allen at the very deepest core, is a rude, sarcastic sometimes vicious and almost cynical brat. This was most evident prior to him being adopted by Mana. He knows the darker aspects of this world all too well. He is no naive child when it comes to knowing how rough life is on the streets and in the underground world. He is also familiar with most of the vices the lesser known side of cities have to offer. This is mostly due to having travelled with Cross for five years all around the world. Brothels, gambling joints, bars, he knows his way around all of these after being exposed to all of Cross' vices. Even so he did not take them as his own. In fact he uses them as reference as to what NOT to do. All except gambling which unfortunately, he had to learn in order to live and pay off those unearthly debts. Then there is alcohol. After a certain incident involving chocolates with alcohol in them and his master finding out he ate them, he developed a rather intense dislike if not fear of alcohol.
He has no qualms in using his COLORFUL insult collection on those who REALLY piss him off. Few get that far. Kanda takes the top of the list on that with his Master a close second. He also possesses quite the snide attitude towards such people. Because of this he has no hesitation to take them down a peg or two in indirect, direct and shameless ways.
Sometimes he even uses this playfully such as belittling Lavi's maturity or calling his watcher, furniture. On the other hand, he has never shown to do this towards any females.
Allen is not one to play by the rules. He will use any dirty trick he can pull if it means he can win. Any opening he sees in his opponent, he takes. If there are no openings, then he will make some by ANY means necessary. He is not below acting like he is cornered for a moment and then turning the situation around using some move from the opponent's blind spot. Those stupid enough to turn their back on him for even a moment risk to find themselves attacked and possibly defeated. This also applies to poker where he is a virtual GOD at cheating and getting away with it, all with the most pristine smile and unbreakable poker face imaginable.
Despite being dense about romance, Allen has shown to be QUITE aware of the charm he has in his arsenal. That is if he is desperate enough or the situation demands it. One such example was when he SEDUCED one of Komui's robots into opening the door and getting ultimately destroyed.
This relates to another trait. He has a manipulative side but he is very selective with it, only bringing it into play when he deems it is appropriate. This is usually aimed at those who have really managed to push his buttons too far or who are just generally more stupid than him. After living in the streets for much of his life, it is only natural for him to know how to cause infighting among thugs or others such similar elements of society.
His time with Cross has also created in Allen a bit of a ruthless persona which manifests under certain specific trigger conditions. One of them is poker. He will destroy his opponents. He is proud of this. Challenge him at your peril. Another trigger is the topic of DEBTS. This mere word carries enormous trauma for the boy and causes him to go into BLACK MODE as it is called. This mode is usually accompanied by an aura of doom which causes many to quite literally freak out when exposed to it and question what on earth Allen has gone through to make him so warped. The last trigger is on a bit of a case by case basis. Simply getting in his way. This was discovered by Bak Chan himself when Allen resorted to blackmail in order to get the man to let him return to the battlefield.
[Specialties/Abilities]
Edge
The Claw is not the only component of Allen's activated Innocence. In addition to that, he gains a white cape made of the same material his Clown Belt is made off. Attached to the cape is a cowl with an intricately designed masquerade mask. These two components serve as a full body armor capable of repelling energy and physical attacks. But defense is not all that it is good for. Just as with Clown Belt, Allen can control how solid, thick, sharp and long it can be. As such it can also be used as a hidden weapon. In addition Allen can shoot out multiple Clown Belts from it for an added surprise.
I've been mentioning Clown Belt for a while now. It is only fitting it will be specified next.
The Clown Belt is pretty much exactly what it says. Only with so much more kick to it. It is a tendril of the same material that Allen's clape is made of. It can be used as a whip, a spear or spike, or a tool to grab things or even his enemies. It can also be used as a rope. As such it can be used for rappelling and swinging. Allen has shown the ability to freely control the length, thickness, hardness and sharpness of this weapon. It can be fired from both Allen's right hand glove and sleeve as well as his cape and cowl. When fired from his cape, he can use multiple of the tendrils for a deadly porcupine effect, as well as using it to bind one or more troublesome foes. There is another use for Clown Belt however it is a quite disturbing one and it truly reflects Allen's tenacity and willpower. He can wrap the Clown Belt around his own body and operate it like a puppet so as to continue fighting. He can also detach the Clown Belt from himself, but he loses control over it so it is basically reduced to a normal rope at that time.
Cross Grave: Much more powerful than its previous incarnation, Allen can crucify targets simply by etching a cross upon them with his left hand. The stronger the target the lesser damage it takes. It can now also be used defensively since it can generate a shield by drawing a cross on the air.
Crown Edge: A projectile attack which unleashes a barrage of crown-shaped rings from the clawed fingers on Allen's left hand. It has medium to long range and is usually used to either flush out invisible enemies or just take out large numbers of foes.
Edge End: A swipe of raw destructive power from his activated claw, capable of tearing up steel and concrete alike.
Sword of Exorcism:
When Allen's synchronization ratio exceeded 100%, he became able to transmute his entire left arm into an exquisite broadsword with a large cross emblazoned on the side the blade. While in this mode, his left shoulder is capped with a cross-shaped emblem, and his cowl usually extends the cape to cover the missing arm. Once invoked, the blade can exorcise evil from any vessel it strikes without any harm to the vessel itself. The effectiveness depends on how strong the entity being exorcised is. Sadly the only active use of this ability backfired terribly and caused Tyki's Noah to take over the host completely. It can still be used to effectively destroy weaker entities and creatures like the AKUMA. Allen also has shown the ability to telepathically recall the Sword to himself, should it be thrown out of his hand. (Yes think of what Luke Skywalker did with his lightsaber in the ice cave.)
Death Ball: When using the Sword of Exorcism, Allen can create an explosion which he names Death Ball. This is an area of effect attack meant to decimate masses of low level enemies in one blow.
Energy Arc: When using the Sword of Exorcism, Allen can release an arc of energy at his target. The range is medium on this attack.
In addition, his Innocence has shown the ability to act of it's own accord if it decides something near it, is an enemy. This has most recently come into play as it attacked the mutated Third Exorcist, Tokusa despite Allen's intention. Also being a parasitic type Innocence wielder has boosted his immune system so poisons and viruses don't work on him or the effects take longer to manifest before healing quickly.
The Curse
Resembling a sort of cogwheel monocle, Allen’s most recent cursed eye enables him to pinpoint an AKUMA's position even when they are not visible to the naked eye, regardless of obstacles, from a distance of up to 300 meters away. But the most astounding change is that others close to Allen are able to see the lost souls trapped within AKUMA as well. After witnessing Allen's 'world of black and white', Lavi commented that the world Allen sees 'is like hell on earth'. However, the cursed eye appears to lust for the destruction of AKUMA, often causing pain to Allen sometimes in the middle of the night by self-activating, as though "it is a sin to be sleeping instead of destroying AKUMA". In Panfandom RP's it will likely react to any dark entities or powerful abilities. The stronger they are the more strongly his eye will react and pain him.
Musician/Noah
Even though he has never touched a piano in his life, thanks to the 14th's memory, he has recently developed a heightened affinity for the instrument and music in general seeing as that is the key to operating Noah's Ark.
Allen can create instant travel gateways known as Ark Gates, to any place he has visited in the past. The Ark itself, being an enormous floating white city, is used as a central hub for these gates. This gate ability is DISABLED in all RP's unless the mods wish to make use of it. As such the Ark is ALSO disabled unless the staff wish to implement it somehow.
Miscellaneous:
He is ambidextrous thanks to his time as a circus performer. It's surprisingly convenient given his role as the Musician of Noah's Ark. The countless hours of performances he has done during his time as a performer, have honed his physique and mind thus bestowing him amazing physical and mental stamina. Performing in front of a crowd is second nature to him and his smile can stay in place for hours on end during such times. The various tricks he learned during his childhood in the circus have also given him enhanced body balance and hand-eye coordination making him highly skilled in gymnastics, acrobatics and juggling.
Another skill is gambling. At first Allen learned to play cards and poker as an exercise to restore the mobility of his left arm since he almost completely lost the ability to use it at all after his first activation. But that changed when Allen was made to face his master's debt collectors. He became a vicious poker demon who never turns down a challenge and could win against anything walking this planet. He even stripped a Noah even though neither of them had an idea who the other person was. As such his poker skills were developed primarily with financial reasoning. Because of this he relies HEAVILY on cheating. To back up this kind of lifestyle, Allen has perfected the art of Pokerface to the level of an art form. Added to that are his high level cheating techniques that VERY few can even hope to catch a glimpse of let alone catch him in action. Since joining the Order his gambling streak has not manifested all that often but when it does it makes it disturbingly clear just how cruel and terrifying he can be.
Aside from this he knows lock-picking, has excellent night vision and surprising skill in dealing with finances. All of these honed to the highest form thanks to Cross's debt collectors hounding them every step of his journey with Cross.
He also has a ridiculously high pain tolerance as he has shown recently when he got his leg crushed and still stood up to fight.
He is a glutton. Because of the high energy consumption of the parasitic Innocence, he eats inhuman amounts of food in very little time. He will LITERALLY eat you out of house and home.
[Affection] When interacting with those he does not know, most shows of affection have him back up a little awkwardly. He appreciates the sentiment but it's not necessary. The most affection someone like that can get from him is a pat on the back and some encouraging words.
Things change when people get to know him. He will accept your shows of affection (Unless you're Lavi and you hug him for no reason other than to watch him squirm. So teasing him with such gestures can likely earn you his boot in your face). He is dense when it comes to people who HONESTLY might have romantic interest in him. As for things more platonic than that, he can pick up on them in a short amount of time. Still something new for him in Somarium.
[Fighting] Allen is made to be injured hurt brought within an inch of death or even killed. He asks for it given how he jumps in the thick of it on instinct. Just hit me up for plans along that line though I'd rather not get him killed too soon so at a later date please.
He does not start fights unless provoked by someone he SEVERELY dislikes or unless someone is in danger.
[Other Permissions] Telepathy: You might want to doublethink that. Allen is not alone in his mind you see and the 14th may be more than you can handle or you might give the creep the opening required to take over Allen and then things get messy.
4th walling: preferably nothing that makes his existence a work of fiction. Ambiguous hinting is fine. But nothing solid please.
[Other Facts]
The Dream:
Allen seems to share a paranormal link via dreams with Lenalee. The two's dreams are different yet they intertwine. In Allen's dream, he sees Lenalee's shattered world dreamscape only it is inside a lake as if on the other side of the watery mirror. Alternatively Lenalee's dreams take place in a ruined structure submerged in a black lake partially. She cannot see what is beneath its surface. Recently, Allen's dream has shifted to that of a devastated city. There is a theory that the voice that spoke in Allen's dream was in fact Lenalee's Innocence given that she too was sleeping close by. Another detail to support this is the shape in the sky of Allen's dream. It seems very similar to the crystallized form Lenalee encountered as well as the scars on her legs where her Innocence draws the blood to sustain itself.
The 14th Noah.
Up until recently that was the only name he was known by. The 14th. The Enigmatic member of the Noah clan who should NOT have been born. The one who took down ALL the Noah except the Earl and Road Kamelot and the one who caused severe memory damage to all the slain Noah thus delaying their resurrection even further. He calls himself Nea and claims the title of Noah of destruction. His personality is still a mystery given the little screentime he has had. But one thing is certain. He is insane. He is also aiming to replace the Earl after murdering the fat man. Despite this, the person who met Allen in his mind showed remarkable composure and indifference. He even introduced himself as the Noah of Destruction, all with a serene smile on his face. His motivations are unknown currently. He claims the Earl is a mad puppet and that Allen has become one as well. In a twist of irony, it seems the curse Mana left on Allen is preventing him from taking over Allen. The irony comes from the fact that Mana was the 14th's biological brother. His power is undeniable though. to take out 11 of the Noah all on his own and severely damage their memories not to mention CRIPPLE Noah's Ark before finally going down. All of this seems to indicate a power level bordering demon overlord class. As was shown in a recent chapter, he is a high level Noah, seeing as his awakening is far more violent than that of a Noah such as Skinn Bolic. That's quite the feat given that Skinn had succumbed to the Noah completely the moment he turned.
There have been hints that he can be the model ally and act nice to get what he wants before backstabbing you when it suits him best. He is also most likely fearless given the mad gambits he has taken to advance his goals. (like picking a random kid on the street and ruining his life by overwriting him, all to get another chance to do what he failed in the past)
Timcampy | Pet & Partner.
In theory, Tim is a magic-mechanical golem that was made by the 14th and then handed over to Cross shortly before the 14th died. He is basically a small golden ball with wings and a bushy tail along with small horns on the top and peg-like feet on the bottom. The peg feet sometimes morph into tiny hands when he tries to be more expressive or comfort his stupid young master. He also has a cross symbol on his front/face. This symbol has changed temporarily several times over the series. This is mostly just to give more detail to his reactions as well as make them more humorous:
~An "A" when Tyki Mikk called Allen "Cheating Boy A"
~A Heart when Lenalee "begs" Cross Marian to stay at the Order
~An exclamation point when Link shows Allen the "musical score" during Allen being under surveillance..
~An exclamation point when the hair-tonic falls on both him and Allen during the Zombie Arc.
His front also houses a mouth FILLED with rows of razor sharp teeth that give him quite the intimidating look. However it is not constantly there. His front can be completely smooth for one second and in the next, you see a toothy maw glaring back at you. He doesn't have to eat but he likes to. Apparently almost as much as Allen and that is saying a lot. He can change size at will and depending on circumstances. He has been steadily growing in size after becoming Allen's golem completely. Also in recent chapters he grew several times the size of a man of Link's stature before unleashing a spell that destroyed a barrier surrounding the North America Branch. He also can CLEARLY see despite having no eyes.
He is capable of outrunning most of his pursuers and his evasion skills are excellent. Even when smashed to tiny bits he will gather himself together good as new. He has the ability to record audio and video, however, this would probably be disabled in most RP’s due to the common communication devices most characters receive on arrival. He can also eat objects and then spit them out at a later date thus making him a good delivery system. Even so, Timcampy has a high degree of independence. He was technically created by the 14th, however in recent chapters he was the one responsible for breaking the Barrier that sealed Allen's cursed eye. So we can clearly see that Timcampy took action to push his creator back.
He somehow manages to use an amazing array of emotions for a silent nonhuman creature with no real face
Timcanpy has very deep attachments to both General Cross and Allen, mainly because Allen is Cross's disciple, even going as far as "crying" when reunited with Allen in the ark. After Cross's disappearance, Tim often visits his room to cuddle against the bloodstained place where Cross was last seen. Allen has to retrieve him on many occasions.
Tim has a 'rivalry' with Kanda Yuu’s golem. As it is seen when Allen and Kanda argue, the two golems glare at each other and even once Tim has eaten Kanda's golem.
Tim is shown to be aggressive in self defense or to protect his old master or his current new master. Tim is also seen following Lenalee when Allen is not around.
He smokes like a Cuban gang lord. Even Bookman has mentioned that he is impressed with Tim's smoking.
In Somarium he would play the role of the cute flying ball constantly around Allen. That is when he wouldn't be eaten by all the cats who seem drawn to him. He has a veritable talent at getting eaten by cats. He would also be around to snap Allen out of his funk if no one else would bother to do it. His method usually involves applying his teeth to Allen's ear or nose. He has no role in fights. The most he would do is carry Allen's sword if he is in no state to hold it.

Allen is not one to play by the rules. He will use any dirty trick he can pull if it means he can win. Any opening he sees in his opponent, he takes. If there are no openings, then he will make some by ANY means necessary. He is not below acting like he is cornered for a moment and then turning the situation around using some move from the opponent's blind spot. Those stupid enough to turn their back on him for even a moment risk to find themselves attacked and possibly defeated. This also applies to poker where he is a virtual GOD at cheating and getting away with it, all with the most pristine smile and unbreakable poker face imaginable.
Despite being dense about romance, Allen has shown to be QUITE aware of the charm he has in his arsenal. That is if he is desperate enough or the situation demands it. One such example was when he SEDUCED one of Komui's robots into opening the door and getting ultimately destroyed.
This relates to another trait. He has a manipulative side but he is very selective with it, only bringing it into play when he deems it is appropriate. This is usually aimed at those who have really managed to push his buttons too far or who are just generally more stupid than him. After living in the streets for much of his life, it is only natural for him to know how to cause infighting among thugs or others such similar elements of society.
His time with Cross has also created in Allen a bit of a ruthless persona which manifests under certain specific trigger conditions. One of them is poker. He will destroy his opponents. He is proud of this. Challenge him at your peril. Another trigger is the topic of DEBTS. This mere word carries enormous trauma for the boy and causes him to go into BLACK MODE as it is called. This mode is usually accompanied by an aura of doom which causes many to quite literally freak out when exposed to it and question what on earth Allen has gone through to make him so warped. The last trigger is on a bit of a case by case basis. Simply getting in his way. This was discovered by Bak Chan himself when Allen resorted to blackmail in order to get the man to let him return to the battlefield.
[Specialties/Abilities]
Edge
The Claw is not the only component of Allen's activated Innocence. In addition to that, he gains a white cape made of the same material his Clown Belt is made off. Attached to the cape is a cowl with an intricately designed masquerade mask. These two components serve as a full body armor capable of repelling energy and physical attacks. But defense is not all that it is good for. Just as with Clown Belt, Allen can control how solid, thick, sharp and long it can be. As such it can also be used as a hidden weapon. In addition Allen can shoot out multiple Clown Belts from it for an added surprise.
I've been mentioning Clown Belt for a while now. It is only fitting it will be specified next.
The Clown Belt is pretty much exactly what it says. Only with so much more kick to it. It is a tendril of the same material that Allen's clape is made of. It can be used as a whip, a spear or spike, or a tool to grab things or even his enemies. It can also be used as a rope. As such it can be used for rappelling and swinging. Allen has shown the ability to freely control the length, thickness, hardness and sharpness of this weapon. It can be fired from both Allen's right hand glove and sleeve as well as his cape and cowl. When fired from his cape, he can use multiple of the tendrils for a deadly porcupine effect, as well as using it to bind one or more troublesome foes. There is another use for Clown Belt however it is a quite disturbing one and it truly reflects Allen's tenacity and willpower. He can wrap the Clown Belt around his own body and operate it like a puppet so as to continue fighting. He can also detach the Clown Belt from himself, but he loses control over it so it is basically reduced to a normal rope at that time.
Cross Grave: Much more powerful than its previous incarnation, Allen can crucify targets simply by etching a cross upon them with his left hand. The stronger the target the lesser damage it takes. It can now also be used defensively since it can generate a shield by drawing a cross on the air.
Crown Edge: A projectile attack which unleashes a barrage of crown-shaped rings from the clawed fingers on Allen's left hand. It has medium to long range and is usually used to either flush out invisible enemies or just take out large numbers of foes.
Edge End: A swipe of raw destructive power from his activated claw, capable of tearing up steel and concrete alike.
Sword of Exorcism:
When Allen's synchronization ratio exceeded 100%, he became able to transmute his entire left arm into an exquisite broadsword with a large cross emblazoned on the side the blade. While in this mode, his left shoulder is capped with a cross-shaped emblem, and his cowl usually extends the cape to cover the missing arm. Once invoked, the blade can exorcise evil from any vessel it strikes without any harm to the vessel itself. The effectiveness depends on how strong the entity being exorcised is. Sadly the only active use of this ability backfired terribly and caused Tyki's Noah to take over the host completely. It can still be used to effectively destroy weaker entities and creatures like the AKUMA. Allen also has shown the ability to telepathically recall the Sword to himself, should it be thrown out of his hand. (Yes think of what Luke Skywalker did with his lightsaber in the ice cave.)
Death Ball: When using the Sword of Exorcism, Allen can create an explosion which he names Death Ball. This is an area of effect attack meant to decimate masses of low level enemies in one blow.
Energy Arc: When using the Sword of Exorcism, Allen can release an arc of energy at his target. The range is medium on this attack.
In addition, his Innocence has shown the ability to act of it's own accord if it decides something near it, is an enemy. This has most recently come into play as it attacked the mutated Third Exorcist, Tokusa despite Allen's intention. Also being a parasitic type Innocence wielder has boosted his immune system so poisons and viruses don't work on him or the effects take longer to manifest before healing quickly.
The Curse
Resembling a sort of cogwheel monocle, Allen’s most recent cursed eye enables him to pinpoint an AKUMA's position even when they are not visible to the naked eye, regardless of obstacles, from a distance of up to 300 meters away. But the most astounding change is that others close to Allen are able to see the lost souls trapped within AKUMA as well. After witnessing Allen's 'world of black and white', Lavi commented that the world Allen sees 'is like hell on earth'. However, the cursed eye appears to lust for the destruction of AKUMA, often causing pain to Allen sometimes in the middle of the night by self-activating, as though "it is a sin to be sleeping instead of destroying AKUMA". In Panfandom RP's it will likely react to any dark entities or powerful abilities. The stronger they are the more strongly his eye will react and pain him.
Musician/Noah
Even though he has never touched a piano in his life, thanks to the 14th's memory, he has recently developed a heightened affinity for the instrument and music in general seeing as that is the key to operating Noah's Ark.
Allen can create instant travel gateways known as Ark Gates, to any place he has visited in the past. The Ark itself, being an enormous floating white city, is used as a central hub for these gates. This gate ability is DISABLED in all RP's unless the mods wish to make use of it. As such the Ark is ALSO disabled unless the staff wish to implement it somehow.
Miscellaneous:
He is ambidextrous thanks to his time as a circus performer. It's surprisingly convenient given his role as the Musician of Noah's Ark. The countless hours of performances he has done during his time as a performer, have honed his physique and mind thus bestowing him amazing physical and mental stamina. Performing in front of a crowd is second nature to him and his smile can stay in place for hours on end during such times. The various tricks he learned during his childhood in the circus have also given him enhanced body balance and hand-eye coordination making him highly skilled in gymnastics, acrobatics and juggling.
Another skill is gambling. At first Allen learned to play cards and poker as an exercise to restore the mobility of his left arm since he almost completely lost the ability to use it at all after his first activation. But that changed when Allen was made to face his master's debt collectors. He became a vicious poker demon who never turns down a challenge and could win against anything walking this planet. He even stripped a Noah even though neither of them had an idea who the other person was. As such his poker skills were developed primarily with financial reasoning. Because of this he relies HEAVILY on cheating. To back up this kind of lifestyle, Allen has perfected the art of Pokerface to the level of an art form. Added to that are his high level cheating techniques that VERY few can even hope to catch a glimpse of let alone catch him in action. Since joining the Order his gambling streak has not manifested all that often but when it does it makes it disturbingly clear just how cruel and terrifying he can be.
Aside from this he knows lock-picking, has excellent night vision and surprising skill in dealing with finances. All of these honed to the highest form thanks to Cross's debt collectors hounding them every step of his journey with Cross.
He also has a ridiculously high pain tolerance as he has shown recently when he got his leg crushed and still stood up to fight.
He is a glutton. Because of the high energy consumption of the parasitic Innocence, he eats inhuman amounts of food in very little time. He will LITERALLY eat you out of house and home.
[Affection] When interacting with those he does not know, most shows of affection have him back up a little awkwardly. He appreciates the sentiment but it's not necessary. The most affection someone like that can get from him is a pat on the back and some encouraging words.
Things change when people get to know him. He will accept your shows of affection (Unless you're Lavi and you hug him for no reason other than to watch him squirm. So teasing him with such gestures can likely earn you his boot in your face). He is dense when it comes to people who HONESTLY might have romantic interest in him. As for things more platonic than that, he can pick up on them in a short amount of time. Still something new for him in Somarium.
[Fighting] Allen is made to be injured hurt brought within an inch of death or even killed. He asks for it given how he jumps in the thick of it on instinct. Just hit me up for plans along that line though I'd rather not get him killed too soon so at a later date please.
He does not start fights unless provoked by someone he SEVERELY dislikes or unless someone is in danger.
[Other Permissions] Telepathy: You might want to doublethink that. Allen is not alone in his mind you see and the 14th may be more than you can handle or you might give the creep the opening required to take over Allen and then things get messy.
4th walling: preferably nothing that makes his existence a work of fiction. Ambiguous hinting is fine. But nothing solid please.
[Other Facts]
The Dream:
Allen seems to share a paranormal link via dreams with Lenalee. The two's dreams are different yet they intertwine. In Allen's dream, he sees Lenalee's shattered world dreamscape only it is inside a lake as if on the other side of the watery mirror. Alternatively Lenalee's dreams take place in a ruined structure submerged in a black lake partially. She cannot see what is beneath its surface. Recently, Allen's dream has shifted to that of a devastated city. There is a theory that the voice that spoke in Allen's dream was in fact Lenalee's Innocence given that she too was sleeping close by. Another detail to support this is the shape in the sky of Allen's dream. It seems very similar to the crystallized form Lenalee encountered as well as the scars on her legs where her Innocence draws the blood to sustain itself.
The 14th Noah.
Up until recently that was the only name he was known by. The 14th. The Enigmatic member of the Noah clan who should NOT have been born. The one who took down ALL the Noah except the Earl and Road Kamelot and the one who caused severe memory damage to all the slain Noah thus delaying their resurrection even further. He calls himself Nea and claims the title of Noah of destruction. His personality is still a mystery given the little screentime he has had. But one thing is certain. He is insane. He is also aiming to replace the Earl after murdering the fat man. Despite this, the person who met Allen in his mind showed remarkable composure and indifference. He even introduced himself as the Noah of Destruction, all with a serene smile on his face. His motivations are unknown currently. He claims the Earl is a mad puppet and that Allen has become one as well. In a twist of irony, it seems the curse Mana left on Allen is preventing him from taking over Allen. The irony comes from the fact that Mana was the 14th's biological brother. His power is undeniable though. to take out 11 of the Noah all on his own and severely damage their memories not to mention CRIPPLE Noah's Ark before finally going down. All of this seems to indicate a power level bordering demon overlord class. As was shown in a recent chapter, he is a high level Noah, seeing as his awakening is far more violent than that of a Noah such as Skinn Bolic. That's quite the feat given that Skinn had succumbed to the Noah completely the moment he turned.
There have been hints that he can be the model ally and act nice to get what he wants before backstabbing you when it suits him best. He is also most likely fearless given the mad gambits he has taken to advance his goals. (like picking a random kid on the street and ruining his life by overwriting him, all to get another chance to do what he failed in the past)
Timcampy | Pet & Partner.
In theory, Tim is a magic-mechanical golem that was made by the 14th and then handed over to Cross shortly before the 14th died. He is basically a small golden ball with wings and a bushy tail along with small horns on the top and peg-like feet on the bottom. The peg feet sometimes morph into tiny hands when he tries to be more expressive or comfort his stupid young master. He also has a cross symbol on his front/face. This symbol has changed temporarily several times over the series. This is mostly just to give more detail to his reactions as well as make them more humorous:
~An "A" when Tyki Mikk called Allen "Cheating Boy A"
~A Heart when Lenalee "begs" Cross Marian to stay at the Order
~An exclamation point when Link shows Allen the "musical score" during Allen being under surveillance..
~An exclamation point when the hair-tonic falls on both him and Allen during the Zombie Arc.
His front also houses a mouth FILLED with rows of razor sharp teeth that give him quite the intimidating look. However it is not constantly there. His front can be completely smooth for one second and in the next, you see a toothy maw glaring back at you. He doesn't have to eat but he likes to. Apparently almost as much as Allen and that is saying a lot. He can change size at will and depending on circumstances. He has been steadily growing in size after becoming Allen's golem completely. Also in recent chapters he grew several times the size of a man of Link's stature before unleashing a spell that destroyed a barrier surrounding the North America Branch. He also can CLEARLY see despite having no eyes.
He is capable of outrunning most of his pursuers and his evasion skills are excellent. Even when smashed to tiny bits he will gather himself together good as new. He has the ability to record audio and video, however, this would probably be disabled in most RP’s due to the common communication devices most characters receive on arrival. He can also eat objects and then spit them out at a later date thus making him a good delivery system. Even so, Timcampy has a high degree of independence. He was technically created by the 14th, however in recent chapters he was the one responsible for breaking the Barrier that sealed Allen's cursed eye. So we can clearly see that Timcampy took action to push his creator back.
He somehow manages to use an amazing array of emotions for a silent nonhuman creature with no real face
Timcanpy has very deep attachments to both General Cross and Allen, mainly because Allen is Cross's disciple, even going as far as "crying" when reunited with Allen in the ark. After Cross's disappearance, Tim often visits his room to cuddle against the bloodstained place where Cross was last seen. Allen has to retrieve him on many occasions.
Tim has a 'rivalry' with Kanda Yuu’s golem. As it is seen when Allen and Kanda argue, the two golems glare at each other and even once Tim has eaten Kanda's golem.
Tim is shown to be aggressive in self defense or to protect his old master or his current new master. Tim is also seen following Lenalee when Allen is not around.
He smokes like a Cuban gang lord. Even Bookman has mentioned that he is impressed with Tim's smoking.
In Somarium he would play the role of the cute flying ball constantly around Allen. That is when he wouldn't be eaten by all the cats who seem drawn to him. He has a veritable talent at getting eaten by cats. He would also be around to snap Allen out of his funk if no one else would bother to do it. His method usually involves applying his teeth to Allen's ear or nose. He has no role in fights. The most he would do is carry Allen's sword if he is in no state to hold it.
