Legacy Abilities (If Legacy): The ability to stay unnoticed and nigh-invisible in dark places. A hereditary trait.
Fatal Flaw: His do-it-yourself tendencies; thanks to various experiences in his high school, he rarely trusts other people to do what he feels will work. This often results in him manipulating others and randomly disappearing on his friends. His oftentimes deliberate lack of empathy makes it worse.
Likes: Mythology and the Supernatural; Dark and Creepy Places; anything to do with running and/or sneaking; Mysteries; Raspberries; Herbal Tea; Books; Storms and various other states of weather; Autumn; Music; Unpopulated places; Souvenirs; Fishing. And spiders. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Dislikes: Bigots of any sort; Crowds; Idiots; People who trust too quickly; Blind Loyalty; Cheesiness, Romance fiction (unless it's amusing)
Fears: Mind Control. Being depended on by others, since he's used to being untrustworthy, it kinda freaks him out. Varcolacs (which, by his definition, are a combination of Vampires, Werewolves, and the Slender Man)
Personality: Allen is a sort of quiet, loner type guy (creepier than a child of Hades, they say). While not much preferring to company of people, however, he's not overt or belligerent about it, preferring instead to keep out of sight and mind. He's witty, intelligent, obscenely open-minded, and has an overactive imagination, plus being the practically the god of sarcasm which he does not mind using to get a rise out of others with subtly insulting behavior and random remarks; it's his primary source of entertainment. An observant, somewhat empathic and perceptive person, Allen, while not very social has a good understanding of emotions and people in general; while it can be a good thing at the right time (he can actually be good support and pretty sweet, if he tries), his he tends to use it primarily for exploiting others for fun and profit. That, and thanks to the grayness of his morals, he has no problems manipulating people for more serious purposes either… well, actually he does. But he'll do it anyway. A pretty liar, capable of twisting the truth to his own ends. And he fights dirty, very dirty. Could be a leader and peacemaker, if anyone could trust him, or if he were interested.
Allen is also remarkably quirky, tending to do confusing things just for hell of it; an example being while he would never rush into a fight without some analysis first, he has absolutely no problem jumping from a cliff. In his own words, normalcy is boring; he welcomes change like a dear lover, except if it results with him in pain. Allen cares nothing for how most other people view him, though he often find it funny; he believes that most of society are unimaginative idiots anyway. He's the type of person who likes pushing his limits constantly, discovering new things, and exploring ideas, no matter how strange they may be. While he does like to prepare for the worst possibilities, he will always hope for the best, no matter how dark the road seems. He's good at instilling this hope in others.
Hobbies: Allen enjoys climbing, Parkour, training (particularly Archery), and solitary running. Supernatural, Historical, and Horror fiction are always of particular interest to him, and he likes drawing demons and similar creatures. He also likes stalking, sneaking places, and exploring. Last, but not least: screwing with people.
History: Ashlyn Flood was a newly recruited cop when she met Apollo; the obvious happened, and Allen was the result. She spent the next three years as a single mother (with a deep dislike of Greek mythology), until she met and started dating Niccoló Belmonte, a writer of historical fiction and a native Italian. Besides the initial awkwardness, the two males hit it off well, with Allen becoming a sort of unofficial editor for Niccoló's work.
As a child, Allen was pretty feisty and mischievous (still kinda is), starting up an inter-neighborhood gang with some other boys his age whose sole purpose was to cause as much chaos as possible. As he got older, though, he and his friends began drifting apart as he got bored with it and they started thinking of him as weird. Thus began his time as a quieter (and slightly creepier) guy.
This continued for a while until his mother decided to send him to Stonewall High School, which, as it turned out, was rife with bullies, including even the supposed rule enforcers and a few teachers. In short order, he got on the bad side of one of these, and was cornered later for beating. Obviously, he fought back, and due to a combination of strategy, dirty tactics, and sheer unpredictability, won.
What came of that could almost accurately be called a war. The local school gang wanted Allen humiliated, hurt, or just expelled; and Allen… well, he just wanted to beat them. It was a war of trickery, strategy, and the occasional violence. Allen often found himself manipulating others with ease, something he eventually decided he was okay with. He simultaneously bribed and blackmailed one of his teachers to teach him parkour and meditation (the latter mostly cause he thought it was cool), which he found an enjoyable experience, and taught himself to use makeshift weapons, his favorite being a chain. In the end, he got one third of the teachers fired (one arrested), fifteen people expelled, and somehow drove the principle insane (he still wonders about that), all without alerting his parents or anyone else to his actions.
When he turned 16, things started settling down. As much as Allen enjoyed the peace, he eventually got bored and started praying to random deities (including some Greek ones) for more interesting things to do. A few weeks later, one of the cheerleaders turned into an empousa and started chasing him. But that wasn't all, no. A random nerd just had to turn out to be a satyr and throw a chair at it, didn't he? He only managed to escape when he baited it to a nearby cliff, and kicked it off. Well, after failing to stake it, that is. The satyr eventually caught up with him explained stuff. Allen, weirdo that he is, took it well in stride. Though he was somewhat pissed that his clairvoyance had nothing to do with being psychic. His mother was reluctant, but Niccoló convinced her it was for the best.

How would You Want Your Character To Die: Awesomely. Doing something heartwarming. Though I'd prefer if he didn't. Just sayin'.
Anything Else: Allen has a journal in which he writes events, sarcastic comments, and weird ideas. Besides Athena (and Hades, who he thinks is awesome), he doesn't really respect the gods, and occasionally subtly insults them. Yes, he is a Castlevania fan.
