Personality:
Kind, friendly and polite like a true gentleman, that’s the impression Allen Walker gives off to anyone that meets him for the first time, and that is only one side to him. He is kind and cares deeply about his friends or people he considers as his friends, regardless if the feeling is mutual or not.
However, underneath his nice exterior, Allen has something dubbed as his ‘Black’ side. This developed as a result of his life and time spent training under Cross Marian. He can be quite mean, completely willing to cheat at card games to win without regrets and has a delinquent side to him with a stubborn streak. He also has quite a temper, most notably seen whenever he gets called ‘short’ or ‘beansprout’, which can get quite nasty.
As an Exorcist, Allen wishes to save as many people as he can and, when given the choice, tries not to hurt anyone at all. He walked this path because he earnestly wants to save the souls trapped within the Akuma, even when other members of the Black Order don’t think the same way as he does. He even cannot bring himself to leave the man that “killed” him to die.
Because he cares deeply about saving people, Allen tends to be reckless and self-sacrificial. He would push himself to help someone, no matter what risk it placed on his safety. Especially if he made a promise to them, stranger or not, he is always willing to help someone in need. As such, he is an emotional person, who would do things based on his knee-jerk reactions. One of his greatest faults could very well be his inability to control his emotions.
However, although he’s willing to reach out to help people, Allen rarely allows people to get close enough to ‘help’ him. From being abandoned by his birth parents, as well as the death of his adopted father, Mana Walker, it makes it difficult for him to form close connections with people. Even if he doesn’t realise it, he would unconsciously hold people back from him at an arm’s length. He rarely allows people get close enough to help him with his problems, as he would keep them to himself. Beside the emotional outburst, almost no one notice his troubles.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Judgement
Justification: The Judgement is about decision and forging ahead with a task. After everything Allen went through, he made the choice to go ahead without letting the past drag him down (accepting past mistakes/actions). Even in reverse, when things look dark, Allen bounce right back up with a stronger resolve. He knows why things were dark and depressing, but he realised that they won’t change (improvement) unless he take action.
Samples:
First Person Sample:
Does anyone know a good place to work at, part-time? Preferably during the afternoon after school and I’m willing to learn the trade. [If not, well…he could always find a good place to play cards.]
[To fellow Persona-users:]
Considering the Shadows are getting stronger, who would like to go and buy better weapons with me? My claws are still sturdy, but I’ll eventually need something stronger.
Third Person Sample:
Prospero still continue to amazed Allen, the longer he stayed here and the more of the city he saw. The technological level was on a different level than what he’s used to, the fashion sense changed quite a bit from the early nineteenth century and customs had changed. No, it’s more like they evolved and adapted with the times.
But the busy crowd of people was a familiar sight to him, something that didn’t change at all. As does his resolve; even without his Innocence and curse, and no Akuma around for him exorcise, he’d still do what he can to save as many people as he can.
He’ll use the strange power of the Persona if he has to. No matter what, Allen Walker is still an Exorcist.
