Character Name: Allen Llewellyn
Character Age Guesstimate around 10, wiki says 8 but I have no idea where they got that number so I’m distrustful.
Canon Point: Right before opening the door in Teacher’s world to meet his adult self with the key.
Canon Summary: An amnesiac boy named Allen is taken into the care of Teacher, who runs a facility for children who for various reasons cannot live with their families. In Allen’s case, his parents were murdered and he seems to have lost his memories due to the shock.
A couple months into his stay, Allen hears voices in the middle of the night and follows the sound, finding a model butterfly that seems to be alive and asking for help. Attempting to aid it, he instead knocks over and breaks the model, receiving a chiding from Teacher before being told to go to bed. When he steps back into his room, a black cat appears from his closet and lures him over to check it out, causing him to tumble into another world entirely.
There he meets the Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit, two unpleasant characters who refer to him as Alice. After talking to the both of them, Allen gleans that he must find the World Keys in order to return to the real world. However, as he finds out, he has to travel through the hearts of the various children from the facility to do so: Letty and Rick, Chelsy, Joshua, and Stella.
Each world feels much like a fairy tale (Hansel and Gretel for Letty and Rick, Little Red Riding Hood for Chelsy, The Boy Who Cried Wolf for Joshua, and Snow White for Stella), and uncovers the trauma each child experienced before being taken in at the facility. However, it’s only by going to the very end of each of their worlds that Allen is able to find the keys needed to leave, even though it hurts him to see the pain of his friends as they fall into despair.
Finally, he receives the last World Key from the White Rabbit and is told that he must stab it into the one who is most evil in this place to become a door to allow the rest to leave. He is also informed that the White Rabbit and Cheshire Cat are both in fact demons, and therefore do not count as people who can be chosen to become a door.
Rather than choosing one of his friends, Allen proceeds through a final door that was unlocked after the rest, finding himself in an orphanage. It’s here that he meets a younger version of his Teacher and comes to the realization that Teacher, who had been traveling through the Worlds himself and cautioning the children against moving around (which they all without exception ignored, leading to their Worlds’ ruin), had experienced this dream world before. During the exploration of his Teacher’s world, Allen finds himself in a strange room with a girl named Fiona, who embodies what little remains of Teacher’s sister - they both ended up in the dream world, and she stabbed herself with the key to free him, thus forfeiting her soul. However, even those without souls are reborn, although she can’t quite move on herself because Teacher as an adult refuses to let her go.
Reuniting with the younger version of Teacher, the pair go to the end of his World, and the young Teacher stops to tell Allen that ahead is the world of his adult self. He gives Allen one final shard of XXXX - an item collected throughout the game to unlock the best ending - and this final piece restores Allen’s memories and emotions in full. For XXXX means love, and it had been stolen away from him by the Cheshire Cat until he was able to recover it in the dream world, not that he realizes the true culprit himself.
Memories: CW: murder and suicide all up ins
◆ Memory of his parents’ murder - he returned home after an outing to find their mutilated bodies and collapsed when he tried to run outside for help.
◆ Memory of the confrontation with Letty’s mother, in which she verbally berated Letty and revealed that Letty’s brother “Rick” wasn’t real - only for Rick’s personality to take over Letty in an attempt to protect her. Allen shoves Letty’s mother into the stove and, distraught, Letty jumps in after her.
◆ Memory of the confrontation with the wolf, in which Allen and Chelsy returned to the main room of Chelsy’s grandmother’s house just in time to see the wolf standing over her dead body. When the wolf appears about to attack Chelsy, Allen kills it with an axe before sitting and holding hands with Chelsy.
◆ Memory of Joshua’s world, in which Joshua sees a doll hanging from the ceiling and seems to see it as his mother hanging herself. Surrounded by eyes all staring at him thanks to the Cheshire Cat’s tricks, he crumbles under the stress of so many hollow eyes.
◆ Memory of Stella eating a poisonous apple at the end of her world.
◆ Memory of his parents/family life, just in general.
◆ Memory of Fiona’s rooms, with the books about his friends’ lives and her take on Teacher.
Regains:
◆ World Key - a key with a sharp point and a large handle. It seems more like a knife than a key.
◆ Chocolate shaped like the corner of a dresser.
◆ Chelsy’s Teddy Bear. It’s a regular stuffed toy. (Renewable)
◆ Joshua’s Dice. It’s a regular pair of 6 sided die.
◆ Poisonous Apple. A red apple that’s deadly poisonous and almost instantly fatal to consume.
Personality: And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Well, he probably would be, if it weren’t for all the trauma. Although he’s been able to recover his emotions and memories, Allen has still been shaped in many ways by the death of his parents and subsequent time spent living at the facility with the other kids. He’s the straight man of the group, and is noted to be the one who stops the prankster Joshua from taking things too far. Although his personality isn’t as wild as some of the other kids, he’s generally good-natured and will crack jokes about his peers if they quip at him first.
He’s fairly observant when it comes to people, noting everyone’s various quirks. As such, when his friends act oddly, he’s quick to pick up on it - examples can be seen when he realizes Joshua is refusing to look him in the eyes, or any of the cases where he meets a fake version of his friends and their speech seems off. He’s got a good head for puzzles as well, as children trapped in the dream world must solve the puzzles presented to them in order to proceed, or else face death should they fail the puzzle three times.
More than anything else, even when lacking in love, he’s compassionate. He can’t help but let his emotions show on his face, as seen by how often the White Rabbit comments on his expressions once he’s made it to the end of each World. Without fail, every World ends with his friends falling into despair over their trauma, and he cries for them as a result. By the later doors, it’s noted that his hands tremble as he prepares to open the closet doors that will lead him into the next World, as he’s realized how it’s likely to end up.
Due to the loss of his memories and his inability to recognize his own emotions, he’s terrified at the thought of completely losing himself. It’s mentioned that if someone’s soul becomes too weakened in the dream world, it will turn into foam and wash away... this is the fate that threatens not only him, but all of the other children, as all of the harrowing events have broken down their hearts to make them vulnerable. Although he recovers both memories and emotions by his canon point, he’s still extremely concerned about his friends and Teacher, and determined to find a way to save them. Unfortunately, he’s also on the gullible side and finds it hard to distrust others completely, even when he knows they should be untrustworthy (such as the Cheshire Cat).
He’s noted to be quite intelligent and a voracious reader. While his knowledge is still very much limited by his age (he can only read books to a certain reading level!), he’s diligent in his studies.
Sample: Here!
Title: Sunday’s Child
What are your preferences on your character being in a case? Allen can be either the culprit or the victim! I’d rather he survived at least one week so he can get that sweet sweet second dose of amnesia, but if you need a victim or culprit for week two or three or onward I’m happy to volunteer for death.
Would you like your character to have a special plot role? IF YOU THINK A TINY LIKE HIM WOULD BE SUITABLE, GO FOR IT.
Anything else? Alicemare comes in two formats: the original WolfRPG game and the novel. I’ll be playing from the WolfRPG canon, specifically a route in which Allen is hollow enough to be considered a vessel for the Cheshire cat, but has also collected all shards of love needed to restore his memories and head in the general direction of the best ending. I’ll be supplementing information from the game with information from the novel, which fleshes out character relationships a little more and gives Allen an actual personality instead of having him be the typical quiet RPG protagonist. However, the events I’ll be referencing will be strictly off the games since the novel changes some of that around.
