Charles B Allons

**Charles B Allons** is a character role-played by Drongo Lockdown.

## General Description

Charles Allons is a hard-working believer in the American dream: the white picket fence, the beach side home, and the good friends and family to be with him until the end of his days. While he has suffered many a setback to this dream, and scars that go deeper than his skin, Charles continues to push onwards to a better tomorrow. While he doesn't set out to make too much of a name for himself, he often finds himself at the center of the strange and wild events transpiring around San Andreas due to the people he is around. As the 2nd in command of SecuroServ, Charles can be found at various businesses around the state, or even working alongside several government departments while he is on the clock and can usually be found hanging out with Phantom Skull or Katerina Higglebottom while not working.

## Physical Description

Charles is 5'11" physically fit male, which comes from his background in the military. He is Caucasian, with light brown hair and facial hear that he keeps at a decent length. His normal eye color is a light blue, but he wears special contacts for his eyes that alters this color. On his torso and arms, he has a few old scars, from his time in the military and future work. He also has several tattoos, such as a bayonet on one forearm, a sword sleeve on his other arm, and an American flag on his chest.

Charles tends to dress well. Even while in his SecuroServ Uniform, he prefers to wear the formal variant rather than the casual variant. When not on the clock, Charles tends to dress in clothing you might expect of an outdoorsman or midwestern resident. A key item of clothing he always has on him is a pair of red neon shades, which is where his "Shades" nickname comes from. His use of the glasses may even be one of the factors leading to their use in recent fashion trends.

## Personality

When it comes down to it, Charles' personality has two sides to its coin. A majority of the time, he's the kind of person who is willing to put others' needs and desires over his own. Jumping headfirst into a situation in order to protect and help others is simply just how he was raised. Of course, the military also instills that sense of public service in people. This is most evident when he is around his closest friends and subordinates, particularly in dangerous situations. However, this is where the other side of his personality comes into play.

While the military certainly gives you a sense of service to the public, it leaves you with quite a lot more than that. For Charles, it is anger. Paranoia. Sheer focus and vengeful determination. There have been plenty of cases where Charles has overstepped his duties to the public both on and off the clock because his anger dictated him too. Sometimes, it is getting involved in taking down a particular criminal, either with or without federal help. Other times, it is how he fights against regulation in an attempt to change it because it harms someone he cares for. At his worst, it is the paranoia that takes hold. While it can be difficult for him to focus, he is usually right in his hunches. Then, when he fails to act upon it, it hurts even more.

At the end of the day, Charles psyche is like that of every other man and woman who leaves the military. It is no wonder so many of them become homeless, or addicts, or criminals, or worse, for they are chewed up by what they chose to protect and spat out like poorly cooked meat into the trash. On the worst days, this is realized for Charles, but he is lucky. He is one of the few who once he left, he had found a new place to call home, and new people who care about him. Hopefully, he will not lose it all again, for only the lord knows what will happen to the person who took it from him. To leave you with a quote, "Never be in the way of a determined man. You will find yourself in the dirt, and he shall not think of you as he passes."

## Relationships

- Phantom Skull Charles originally met Phantom when he joined up with SecuroServ shortly after coming in state. Over time, what started off as a professional friendly relationship evolved into friendship through both the good and bad days. They've been through plenty of the craziest dreams and jobs, and still manage to come out alive and well in the end (occasionally crispy or with a couple holes of course). It is also thanks to Phantom that Charles has the job security and finances.

- Erin Grace Another individual that Charles has met during his time in SecuroServ, Erin has proved to be a vital part in keeping Charles' more self-destructive and angry tendencies in check. Sometimes, they do argue over vitals topics concerning the city around them, but it's always in good faith and for a purpose. When Erin, Phantom, and Charles are all working together on a project, they are quite the unstoppable trio.
