A/N: HEY MINA! NEW STORY! NOT MUCH TO SAY! ANYWAY, READ ZE STORY! XD

What does it feel like to be known by thousands, yet not known by anyone? That was the very definition of the life of Allen Walker. Allen walker is just a normal sophomore student, at least from the hours of 8 am - 2:30 pm. During the rest of his life. he is known by an alias; an alias well known in the world of music and the internet. Allen walker is also known as the music artist Silhouette; the first artist to never reveal their face to their audience.

Allen always had a knack for music and coming up with original songs, so he decided to give it a shot. When he was thirteen, he sent a recording of him performing one of his original songs to a recording company. The tape was only audio, so the producers never saw his face, and they sent him an overwhelmingly positive message of approval. The producers all but begged that Allen be endorsed by their company, and Allen accepted the offer. On one condition. That he didn't show his face.

Allen was an unlucky kid. He was born with a deformed arm, which led to him being abandoned at birth by his biological parents. He lived in orphanages until he was adopted by Mana Walker. The first person to ever treat Allen like family. However, like all good things, it all came to an end.

The only person who truly loved Allen died in a car accident. What's worse, he died saving Allen from the impact. They were simply walking down the street when a driver under the influence swerved off the road toward Allen. Mana panicked, and shoved Allen out of the way, taking the fatal blow onto himself. Mana Walker died in the streets that night, a ten year old son clutching his slowly chilling body.

With nowhere else to go, Allen parted with Mana's body, and lived on the streets until he was twelve. During this span of time, even more misfortune was to come his way. On the streets, there isn't anyone to protect you. You look out for yourself. Allen learned this the hard way. One night, he was looking for a meal when a gang kidnapped him. When they saw his deformed arm, they were disgusted by him, and left him a gift of many knife wounds. One, however, stood out in particular. The leader of the gang personally pinned him to the floor, and carved a deep scar over the left side of his face. An upside-down pentagram along with several other markings that went across his eyelid. he made sure to make the cuts deep enough that the scar would last Allen's entire lifetime. This was a reminder to Allen that he will never fit in. That he would always be different from everyone else and have nothing to do about it.

After this traumatic experience, the gang proceeded to dump the ten year old child in an alley. As Allen sat lay in that cold alleyway, he normally auburn hair faded to a stark white from shock, contrasting against the blood on his face and the rest of his body. Soon after, he was discovered by a man named Komui Lee. He was astonished by Allen's wounds and rushed him over to the nearest hospital. After Allen was treated, the doctors informed Komui that Allen had no guardians or relatives to speak of, so he would be sent to another orphanage. Komui, however, didn't want that to happen. He decided to adopt Allen, and become his legal guardian, as he was for his younger sister, Lenalee.

So it was decided, and Allen became part of the Lee family. In that short year, Allen had warmed up to both siblings, and attended Lenalee's school. Soon after, they discovered Allen's musical talent… That leads the story where up to now.

Allen Walker is now the known musical artist, Silhouette. The idea for not showing his face wasn't just to conceal the effect of his past, but also to send a message. A message that says that you don't have to be a Hollywood poster-boy to be famous. You don't need to be attractive, and that talent is what really counts.

Allen loves producing music, though it can be difficult at times, as his identity is hidden from the Press and his fans. Living a double life is hard, but is worth it when he gets to hear people chanting his stage name.

Allen realized that this is how it felt to be both known by many, but not known by anyone.
