Allen is an alternate and student at SOL Academy. Out of everyone attending SOL, he is the only character based on the Mandela Catalogue so far.

## Allen the Alternate

Allen's Tupper's avatar- when he's in his normal, calm form.

### Age:

6936 (16 years of physical and mental maturity)

## Behavior and Personality

Allen is defiant, a little difficult to befriend, and conflict-prone. Basically, he's a teenager. A demonic teenager. Allen is also hot-headed and a little spiteful. He is out-of-touch with his feelings more often than not (he still has feelings, very strong feelings, but he has a difficult time identifying those feelings). He doesn't like his "demonic masculinity" to be challenged. Despite turning over a new leaf, Allen still likes to scare people- although it's because he finds it fun rather than because he has intent to harm anyone. He's very emotional, especially for an alternate.

### Before the Revelation

Before he learned he was once human, Allen acted as what can generally be expected from an alternate- he had little regard for human life and in fact hated humans to an irrational degree. He didn't just see humans as prey, he saw them as enemies and pests that needed to be exterminated.

### After the Revelation

After learning he was once human, Allen began to act quite differently. This sudden change in personality can most likely be attributed to Allen's anger at the false Gabriel for being deceived, so he speedrunned a redemption arc just to spite him. Allen is now a little more strategic and a lot more selfless. He feels that he has to make up for the damage he's caused.

## Abridged Backstory

Allen was born as the biblical Abel a few decades after the creation of the world. Because there was no Jesus and would never *be* any Jesus to die for his sins, when Abel was murdered by his brother, he was dragged straight to Hell, where he met Satan. Angered at his God for allowing him to fall to Hell, Abel made an agreement with Satan: the two of them would overthrow God. However, Abel didn't ask any questions about the terms of this agreement, so he was shocked and horrified to learn that in order to overthrow God, Abel would have to become an alternate. After a few thousand years of torment, Abel forgot who he was, and eventually became an alternate like any other.

When "Abel" was sent to Earth to mimic what everyone thought was a girl, he happily accepted the job. But as it turns out, this "girl" he was sent to mimic was actually a trans man who got surgery shortly after the alternate's arrival on Earth. The alternate had to learn how to quickly and precisely change its appearance to match the man post-surgery, and so, the alternate basically learned how to "shapeshift" into anybody it wanted, without fear of having its assimilation become "overdriven." Of course, the alternate had to give up a lot of physical strength for this ability. So, eventually, this alternate took on the form of the man (who called himself Allen) and did what all alternates do- get its victim to off himself.

The alternate became "Allen."

## Appearance

Allen, under normal circumstances, appears to be a 16-year-old Hispanic (but white-passing) human with black hair and brown eyes. He typically wears a suit for no apparent reason. His hair is thinner than most and is cut in a slightly long bob cut.

When Allen is excited, stressed, or upset, because he is so focused on his emotions, the part of him that unconsciously retains his human appearance starts to fail. His sclerae will turn black and his mouth will become wider. If his feelings are very strong, his fingers may become long, his nose may become very small, and his skin may become pale. The stronger his feelings, the less human he looks.
