Alison is a spirit that haunts the Dreamworld Entertainment facility and a supporting character in the *Welcome to Dreamworld* series.

## Appearance

Alison is a small boy with slicked-back white hair and red eyes dressed in a white suit, trousers, and shoes, with a red bow tie. In life, Alison had pale skin; as a spirit, Alison's skin has turned white.

## Personality

Even in life Alison was cold, not expressing much emotion even when conversing with another child. He was disciplined early on to be proper, thinking of playing to be a waste of time when he could be studying instead. After his death, he gained a righteous and hopeful spirit, opposing his previous Master in order to defend humanity, which he saw as ultimately good.

## History

Alison was born into a wealthy and influential family of composers and musicians in the 1800's, growing up in their large manor in Ohio. His family has maintained close ties with Litho, and as a result of their contract with him, they promised him to the being. From a very young age, he was aware that there was something lurking in his family home, though he never met Litho until he turned ten years old.

Litho gifted Alison a camera, which was explained to be a conduit brought from a distant time. His parents had fought over the matter, with his father attempting to break the contract before being killed and left to rot in the manor. With his mother's permission, Litho could now begin instructing Alison so that he may aid in the creation of his gateway. The boy read about souls in a book by Edmund L. Avidmiser and learned to play the violin in order to gather Essence from his audiences. His vigorous studies isolated him from the other children that lived in his town.

Alison passed away at a young age, and his spirit persisted, haunting the grounds that his body was laid to rest in, which eventually would become the Dreamworld Entertainment facility. Now that he was aware of Litho's intentions, he became a protector of the Spirit Realm to prevent his plans from succeeding. He was forced to abandon his post and contact Damien Klein to aid in guarding the Spirit Realm when Litho's plans began moving again, leading to the disappearances around the Dreamworld Entertainment facility. Early on, Alison planned on aiding Wiatt Nicholson in his investigation of Dreamworld, which he saw as eventually leading to Litho's downfall.

Only when Wiatt was being drowned by a virus-infected Glory did Alison make contact with him, using his spirit powers to restrain Glory and get Wiatt to safety. While leading him out of the Seaventure display tunnels, Alison explained that any seemingly paranormal occurrences can really be explained with science. When Wiatt appeared discouraged by the sheer scale of everything occurring at Dreamworld, he pressed him to continue fighting and documenting his mission, as not only will the recordings be invaluable to humanity but for his allies in the Spirit Realm. He admitted a fascination with Wiatt's adventures and saw his footage as a reminder that humanity still has hope. Once Glory breached the tunnel the two were walking through, Alison again aided Wiatt in freeing her from the virus before he vanished.

Alison continued quietly haunting the facility, keeping an eye on the separate groups before he appeared again once Wiatt and Star Light fall into the lower levels of the facility. With his knowledge of the facility's layout, he guided the two to a room where Star Light's support beam could be repaired. He instructed Wiatt to head out into the caves and awaken The Collector, which would cause a cave-in that traps Litho in the facility and could free Sara from his control. Fearing facing Litho in a weakened state, Alison chose to stay behind. He later was confronted by Litho, who trapped his spirit within his violin before tossing it in a trash compactor in an alley.

After the facility was reopened, Alison's violin was discovered by Hazel, who brought him to her house. She inadvertently freed him from his binding, and he agreed to aid in her own investigation of Dreamworld Entertainment. Alison told her to find retrieve certain documents from the facility, after which he could help her.
