## Profile

A young man who loves hip-hop above all else. He has a scary look in his eyes and isn't friendly, so people find him hard to talk to, but he's actually just awkward. He was born a quarter-Russian to a pianist father and an opera singer mother. He is also from a well-known musical family, but he left home after his parents disapproved of his passion for hip-hop.

## Appearance

Allen is a Eurasian male with a slender physique and dark red hair and piercing eyes. He wears a black t-shirt with a red hoodie on top of it. Allen also wears a matching set of light blue jacket and pants embellished with flame patterns and patches. He also wears red sneakers and black fingerless gloves with pyramid square studs. Allen has a flame tattoo on the right side of his neck and wears two chain necklaces; one plain and one with a phoenix and cross on it. He also wears an earring on the left side of his ear.

In his Exhibition Show outfit, Allen wears a white utility jacket with light blue trim and red buttons and pockets. There are orange straps hanging from the shoulders and straps from the middle of the jacket that repeat the team name "BAE" on them. The collar has a cord lock and an orange belt. The sleeves have an orange stripe down the side and red cuffs with a black stripe. Beneath the jacket, Allen wears a black, oversized scoop neck t-shirt with a small, light blue tag with a black fiery logo at the hem. He also wears loose-fit red shorts with pockets and a black trim, and black leggings with a red fiery pattern beneath them. His sneakers are light blue with a black tongue and red laces and soles.

## Personality

Allen is bad in social situations, because he is awkward. Even though most of the time he rather tends to do things his own way, he still cares a lot about his friends (even if he doesn't show it).
