First Impressions
Appearance
A slender but muscular young man with many noticeable features, Allen has various scars across his body. Due to an incident in his youth, his hair is now white, and his eyes are purple. There are red markings along his eye, starting midway up his cheek, curving just beneath his eye, and coming to a conclusion on his left forehead in the shape of a star. In later canon, his hair grows long enough to pull back into a ponytail.As an Exorcist, Allen is normally found in his uniform. Gloves hide his unique arm, making him look normal aside from the markings around his eye.

Demeanor & Attitude
Polite and kind, Allen seemingly embodies the 'kind protagonist' trope. However, he grows less formal as he grows closer to someone as his origins are actually rough and crude with the politeness almost a facade that he's faked so long as to become real. His kindness, however, isn't an act.Voice

About
History
HistoryPersonality
Upon first meeting Allen, he seems like a very polite boy who puts the safety and care of those around him above his own well-being even if it goes against their express wishes. Sacrificing to a fault, he sees it as his role to save both humans and the Akuma (demons) that sometimes possesses them, seeing neither to blame for their painful situation. Whereas most Exorcists would be fine with obliterating the Akuma inside as long as the human is freed, Allen is different, seeing his fight against them as a chance to finally let them rest in peace.Further proving himself as a respectful young man, he often uses polite but not over formal speech. As time and the series progress, we see him beginning to talk in a slightly more rough manner. We see later on that this is likely his true personality as when Allen was a child, his manner of speech was particularly rough. The resurgence of this vocabulary shows that he's growing closer to his friends and thus drops an act that has almost become his real nature.
And thus we find the other side of Allen, a side forced to work to repay Cross' debts, a boy that learned to cheat in poker and who is willing to fight and argue. He shows no real remorse for the people he cheats, and he's learned to charm and smile when need be, all skills he learned and mastered throughout life.
Through it all, through the pain in his past and the trials of his future, Allen has a strength of will befitting a shounen hero. Even when so many would have given up, he continues to move forward, growing stronger and forging friendships. Many comment on his stubbornness, especially when his methods are so unorthodox, and sometimes, they don't work. Sometimes, in spite of these efforts, he fails. However, Allen's will and bravery don't falter.
Skills
Innocence- cross α; This augments his left arm into a monstrous adamantine claw with a supernatural glow at Allen's scapula joint. At this phase, his Innocence is capable of manipulating its size. While very durable against Akuma and Dark Matter, it can easily be damaged by Innocence
- cross grave (level 1); At the first level of invocation, the Innocence's power can be channeled into one powerful stream, capable of destroying multiple Level 1 Akuma simultaneously, and leaves a cruciform of energy behind on each of its targets
- cross β; Takes the form of a massive arm-cannon with his fingers becoming energy spikes. This form is capable of both ranged and melee combat but tends to use up more energy initially.
- cross paling; This makes him capable of firing volleys of rod-shaped energy palings; these laser stakes are made of hard-light Innocence energy, which enables them to picket the ground and fence in the adversary or to pile upon them.
- cross spear; Gives him the ability to focus the barrel of his Innocence-cannon to generate a spear-like energy paling, which can then be used like a sword.
After Allen's Innocence is shattered and returns
- crown clown; This acts as a body-armored Innocence, forming a white-hooded cowl and sleeve of Innocence energy which covers his shoulders and right arm, while his left arm and hand become slender and black, clad in armor and razor-sharp claws. A masquerade-style mask is always affixed to the cowl, which takes on various configurations and appearances. This transformation also changes Allen's usual hairstyle from flat to a spiky rear. As before, his Innocence possesses a certain degree of sentience, such as when Crown Clown is able to manipulate Allen's entire body like a marionette when incapacitated, or simply assisting in evasive tactics. When not activated, his arm is black and meets with his shoulder in a spiraling pattern that ends with a tattoo-like emblem.
- cross grave; This can crucify targets simply by etching a cross upon them with his left hand, effectively annihilating even Level 3 Akuma with a single talon. It can also be used defensively, generation a shield by drawing a cross on the air.
- clown belt; The cape of Allen's cowl is released as a webbing of Innocence-energy that can be used to grasp objects, immobilize opponents, or form hardened spikes to impale enemies. It can also be released from the sleeve and glove on Allen's right arm. The ribbons of energy were once used by Crown Clown itself to wrap around Allen's limbs and control him like a puppet when Allen was too injured to move by himself.
- crown edge; A projectile attack that unleashes a barrage of crown-shaped rings from the clawed fingers on Allen's left hand.
- edge end; A swipe of raw destructive power dealt with Allen's fully-invoked claw.
- self-manipulation; By wearing Crown Clown and commanding it with his mind Allen can force his own body to move even if it is too physically damaged to move normally.
Sword of Exorcism
- sword of exorcism; When Allen's synchronization rate exceeds 100%, he is able to transmute his entire left arm into a large broadsword with a cross emblazoned on the faces of the blade. In doing so, his left shoulder is capped with a cross-shaped emblem, and his cowl usually forms a cloak to cover the missing arm. Once invoked, the blade can exorcise evil from any vessel it strikes, though it does not harm humans; this means that Allen can damage the inner Noah of members of the Noah family without killing their human bodies. If used against Level 1 to Level 3 Akuma, it vanquishes them in the same effect as the Cross Grave attack, leaving a residual glowing cross crest in the wake of the defeated Akuma. However, in the case of a Level 4 Akuma the sword carries a diminished effect. Allen is shown with the ability to telepathically recall the Sword to himself, should it be separated from his body
- death orb (ball); When using the Sword of Exorcism, Allen can create a series of large explosions. This technique heavily exhausts Allen.
The Cursed Eye
- level 1; The first incarnation of the curse is a black and red ringed eye which is automatically activated whenever Allen is near Akuma. It allows him the power to see the souls trapped inside Akuma. When Allen witnessed the self-destruction (under Road's orders) of the Level 2 Akuma and the disintegration of the soul powering it, his cursed eye bled in pain.
- level 2; During the vampire incident involving the Eliade-Akuma and Arystar Krory, Allen's curse grew stronger, resulting in his eye undergoing some dramatic changes. Resembling a sort of cogwheel monocle, this new cursed eye enables Allen 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 350 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 comments that 'the world that Allen sees is Hell.' However, the cursed eye appears to lust for the destruction of Akuma, often causing pain to Allen in the middle of the night by self-activating, as though "it is a sin to be sleeping instead of destroying Akuma". The eye also seems to activate itself even when no Akuma are nearby as long as dark matter is being used, such as when Allen is caught in the Noah Tyki Mikk's vacuum.
Shipping
Allen has no specific type in terms of appearance. Instead, kindness and strength get his attention. With his desire to protect, it's easy to get him close to most. I also very much love platonic relationships so if I tag you and you're not into shipping but you still want to thread, let's go for it. Allen has some very cute and important canon relationships.☆ Canonmates - Lavi, Kanda, Lenalee, Link, the Noahs (darker threads). Cross would be difficult. I'm willing to try most things with the right hook.
☆ Crosscanon - Other anime, manga, LA shows and movies, comics, books, etc. No exclusions.
☆ OCs - I'm fine with OCs. If we're assuming CR, I do ask I have a little bit of personality info.
☆ Copies of himself - I'd prefer not. It just feels odd to me.
I'm open to tense or antagonistic relationships as well as nicer, softer threads.
☆ Kink List
☆ Allen is underaged, but I can age him up upon request
Threading Information
☆ I'm currently up to date on both the manga and anime, including Hallow. His canon point is fluid.☆ I'm also fine with canon divergence for both canon mates and cross-canon

Warnings
☆Severe Trauma/PTSD Allen seems to suffer this as a child after Mana's death. For days, he refuses to leave the bed, even for bathroom purposes. When he finally begins to live his life again, his personality has gone from rough to mirroring the more polite manners Mana used. This isn't something he's discussed in canon so it's likely to come up naturally
