Allian Garnier

**Allian Garnier** is a student at Hope's Peak International and a participant in the Tiny Town Killing Game. His title is the **Ultimate Lucky Student.**

## History

### Early Life

Before joining Hope's Peak International, and by extension the Tiny Town Project, Allian lived on a farm with his family, of which they owned. His older sibling, Rose, was due to take over the farm once their father could no longer. Allian was jealous of this, as while Rose was way more skillful on the ranch (even receiving the title of Ultimate Agriculturalist), Allian believed that he cared much more about the animals and the farm work than his brother.

Not much was mentioned during the game about his background, especially since Allian never revealed his talent to the group out of fear of being looked down on, or labelled as "talentless". After all, the way Allian got his Ultimate label was through a simple lucky dip, which Hopes Peak International hosted every couple of years to pick a lucky, talentless student to allow into its main course (much like the Hopes Peak of the main Danganronpa series).

### Killing Game Life

Allian wasn't too present during the majority of the killing game, as he came to have a habit of sleeping through a majority of things. He woke up much later than most of the participants on the first day, after all. Most of his interactions came from mornings in the pizzeria during breakfast, which was how he met Gummie Jack and Terry Callaway, the first participants of which he interacted with.

#### The First Motive

His main point of conflict came during the first motive, where every day a participant would be picked. They would be able to choose someone to be tortured, but they could also choose themselves. One day, the chosen participant was Apollo Ancor, who picked Eri Usaginoashi to be tortured due to how she was eager for others to be put in the box. This lead to the majority of the cast beginning to publicly bash Apollo for his decision, especially since he could've elected to send himself in instead, which apparently did not lead to actual torture. Eri then became the first to be truly tortured. However, Allian began to defend Apollo's decision, claiming that Apollo had to choose someone, and that no one had told him that he could choose himself and not be tortured. Many of the participants publicly disapproved of Allian's decision to defend Apollo, especially Thana Gerard, who Allian would end up in a heated argument with later on. During this argument, Thana seemed to win, as Allian would have to leave midway to avoid answering, and since he was too prideful to apologise in the moment, especially with how aggressive Thana came off. Vampette Tsukiyomi was there during the argument too.

Later on, the motive changed to become a majority vote. Two people would be chosen, and the group would have to decide who would be tortured out of the two. The second time around, Allian was chosen, as well as Chūi Sumāto. Luckily for Allian, the group didn't know as much about Chūi as they did about Allian, as he was more interactive than she was. So, despite a couple of the group maybe not liking him as much, Allian was picked to be saved, while Chūi was sent to be tortured. However, while Allian was glad to not be tortured and to be favoured by the group, the situation still made him feel guilty that Chūi was tortured because of him, and that he probably should have volunteered instead, as Chūi seemed much nicer than some of the participants to Allian. So, Allian spent some time with Chūi to patch up her wounds and to see her heal from the torture.

#### The First Murder, Trial and Execution

During the investigation for the murder of Flynn Loski, Allian mostly kept to himself and investigated individually - in fact, he personally investigated every single room which was open to the participants at the time. Regardless, he wasn't incredibly helpful during the trial, but he did at least help a decent amount, more so in the first half of the trial than the second. At the reveal of the killer being Jayden Dimarco however, Allian wasn't too upset, seeming as he already disliked Jayden the most out of the whole group at the time.

#### The Second Motive

When the second motive came around, where each participant was handcuffed to another person until a murder was committed, Allian was assigned to be one in the only trio of handcuffed participants for the motive. He was handcuffed to not only Cori Viotto, but also to Ren Haruka. While Allian wasn't happy with this, as it would've been bad enough for him to be handcuffed to just one person, he didn't overall seem too bothered. In fact, he and Cori spent some of the time they spend handcuffed to speak about the game, as the two had both received mysterious letters from anonymous sources. Allian, specifically, received a letter which contained a note written in crayon, with writing reminiscent of children's handwriting, which read; "Hewwo mister uwu if ur friend needs helpy welpy knock on the tree 10 times!!!! Byeeee!!!". Allian mostly dismissed this letter, however, as he had no clue what it meant. So, he intended not to do anything with it until he knew what it could mean.

#### The Second Murder, Trial and Execution

During the investigation of the murder of Mizu Nishikawa, Allian acted similarly to how he did during the first murder investigation. This being that he kept to himself and investigated on his own. The trial too went similarly to the first for Allian, as he helped only a little, perhaps less this time.

#### Allian's Fate

Allian's fate came in Chapter 3 of the Tiny Town Killing Game at the hands of Ren Haruka, who murdered Allian in the laser tag arena by beating him to death with a laser tag gun.

## Creation and Development

### Name

The name "Allian" is a warped version of the "allium", a purple-ish flower, while the surname " Garnier" derives from the Old French word "gerner" or "gernier", which means a "storehouse of corn" or "keeper of the granary".

Allian was originally created as a Pokémon character, as he was to be a grass type Gym Leader, whose signature Pokémon would've been Venusaur, and resided in a swamp based town, with a design similar to Pacidflog Town from the Hoenn Pokémon Games (R/S/E and (OR/AS). For this reason, his name purposely has a nature theme, as to link to the type he would have used. He was also created around 2016, but he wasn't revamped to be able to be used in Danganronpa settings until early 2021. Back before he was revamped, Allian's name used to be "Dan", with no reason for the name. This was obviously changed due to how generic it was, and since it had no link to the grass type.

His backstory also had a major change from being a Gym Leader to a Danganronpa character, though it was mostly just translated from the Pokémon world to the real world. For instance, his family owning a farm instead of a Pokémon Gym.

## Personality

Allian is a more reserved character, who prefers to keep to himself whenever he can, which is shown in the game as while he does speak and interact with the others more than a couple people, he still has many moments on his own, or just moments where he stays silent within group situations. Despite this however, he has great confidence in his opinions and beliefs, as he refuses to change his mind or to apologise for saying things when he believes they are true. Without being convinced, that is.

During the killing game, he's shown to be much calmer than most, yet also has a highly lazy personality. He can be seen sleeping more often than most things, as he waked up much later than most during the beginning of the game, and he slept through a majority of the important events.

## Appearance

Allian appears to be a young, darker skinned character with bright pink shirt hair, with bangs positioned to the right. His physique is pretty muscular, and he stands at 5'11", with light green hair. His hair is supposed to resemble the colour of an allium, the flower which Allian's name is based on (note: the picrew of which he appears in did not have the correct hair colour available, which would be a bright, light purple).

He usually wears a plain black tank top, with camo green cargo trousers and a pair of beige sandals. Allian prefers to go bare foot whenever he can, so he wears sandals in public, as they are easier to take off and put on as he pleases.

## Talent

#### Ultimate Lucky Student

Allian's talent is much different than the majority of talents of the participants of the Tiny Town Killing Game, as he did not earn his talent through practise or hard work, but instead from a lucky dip hosted by Hope's Peak International in order to allow one lucky student to join the school and take the main course, just like every other Ultimate student that was scouted or applied.

During the game however, Allian never ended up revealing his talent to the group. He seemed to want to keep it a secret, and he would avoid the question whenever he was asked. His talent was revealed to the group in the file on Allian and Chūi's murders.

## Relationships

### Tiny Town Killing Game

#### Thana Gerard

Allian's relationship with Thana was pretty rocky during his run in the game. Their first interaction wasn't great, as Thana was part of those who disagreed with Allian defending Apollo's decision during the first motive. Then, the two would get into an argument, where Allian would continue to defend his actions, and Thana would call him out on why his actions were so bad. Though, despite these disagreements, Allian would assist Thana and the group a decent amount during the first trial, and after it was over, Allian fully apologised to Thana and the two made up. From that point, the two wouldn't have overly positive or negative interactions up until Allian's death.

#### Eri Usaginoashi

Like with Thana, Allian and Eri didn't begin on a good foot. In their first interaction, Eri, Blaine and Bleu all teased Allian, and accused him of murder (though it was mostly satire), which Allian didn't take lightly, and grew heated during the interaction. However, despite this, Allian and Eri would eventually meet on decent grounds, as the two would bond over the topic of MMO games and teeth. They planned to battle each other on certain Minecraft mini games, but that would unfortunately never happen.

#### Gummie Jack

Gummie was the first person that Allian would interact with, aside from Terry. She was usually the one to make him (and a couple of others) breakfast each day, to the point that Allian would want to try and make himself breakfast to give Gummie a break. Though their relationship became slightly rocky when Gummie sometimes grew aggressive, Allian never felt like he was on bad terms with her.

#### Apollo Ancor

While Allian and Apollo never directly interacted properly, Allian still began on a bad foot with him, as he recieved a lot of backlash for defending Apollo's decision during the first motive. So, this lead Allian to have a bad view of Apollo, and the two never really settled their differences.
