Allen somewhat admired her desire to protect her friend, and felt a twinge of disgust at how terrible some guys could be. "I don't think there's much risk of that happening right now," he gestured around to emphasize the empty hall, then put his hands behind his head and leaned against the wall himself. "But I guess it doesn't make much difference to me. So, what do you think about Mixt and... whoever the other guy was?" He shook his head. "how messed up is that? I know the murderer's name but not the victim's. Come to think of it I don't know your name either, do I?"
"I had to take a leak and this was the nearest bathroom to wear I was hanging out," Allen said. "A better question would be what are you doing here? I mean do you often sit and read about-" He stopped to check what book she was reading, -"mythology outside of public restrooms."
Allen hadn't managed to shake his desire for answers or his desire to speak with Mixt, in fact they had only grown stronger the more he thought about them. He needed to use the bathroom though so he climbed down from his tree and walked back to the dorms. As he neared the bathroom he noticed Phisoxa sitting and reading her textbook. He recognized her from the fight with Mixt but decided not to bother her as he didn't want to interrupt her reading -and because he would need a good excuse for wanting to discuss the events they had witnessed if he wanted to keep up the image he was trying portray. While he was using the bathroom though his unhappiness and confusion over the issue won out and as he was walking out of the restroom he sat down near Phisoxa and spoke to her. "Hey. You were there the other night weren't you? The girl I gave the elixir to."
Allen sat up in his bed with a start. He had been having a nightmare, but now that he was awake he couldn't remember it. He remembered images of Mixt, of blood, of himself fighting, of Jen, and he remembered a desperate, terrified feeling, but he couldn't remember the dream itself.What he could remember of the dream told him it had something to do with the murder he'd witnessed.He let out a sad sigh, he just couldn't escape from what he'd seen could he? Not even in his dreams. He found himself again wondering about the things he didn't understand. Most importantly why Mixt had killed the boy. He just couldn't make sense of it. He saw that the sun had gone down and decided he'd spend some time stargazing while he thought about this. Allen got dressed and went out the door. Once he was outside of the dorm building he decided to walk to the forest. It was a relatively short walk to a tree Allen knew of that had some branches he could comfortably lay down in and easily see the sky from. He loved to just lay in the sort of natural hammock made by the trees perfectly place leaves and branches, and he and he had even slept in this tree a few times. He had slept better those few nights than when he slept in his own bed.This was where he usually came when he was upset. Just laying in this tree and staring at the sky -day or night- often made him feel much better, and he'd always wanted to show this spot to Jen, but she had never been to the academy. Laying here did calm him down now, but he still couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. The more he thought about it the more he wanted to know why Mixt had done it. Until eventually he felt he needed to know, just to put his mind at ease. He wanted to talk to Mixt now, to ask why he had killed that boy. He doubted though, that he would be allowed to speak with the murderer.
Allen decided to take a tram back to the academy. He liked taking walks but it would be quicker to take a tram and after meeting this strange man who knew so much about him he was nervous about the long walk back. Plus with the events of the past day he felt like taking a nap and wanted to get back to his dorm as soon as possible.
Allen thought for a moment. "Alright, one week, then I'll decide." He got up off the bench and started walking back towards the academy, he had been skipping his classes to think about all this and it was about time he headed back. "See you in a week."
Allen couldn't tell whether to laugh at the man's odd mannerisms or to scream in terror. "Maybe, I want to know more first." he decided to drop the tough-guy act, there was no point in keeping it up if this man could see right through it anyway. He sat down on a nearby bench. "Firstly I want to know how you know so much about me. Where could you possibly have read that I'm kind and sensitive? The thought that you could learn things about me that I try to keep hidden is pretty disturbing. Then there's the fact that you won't even tell me your name and you're hiding your face in that hood, which makes me wonder if I should trust you. After we address those issues I'd like to know more about this team; What do you mean keep balance in the universe? What's this team actually for? Why should I join this team? What's it supposed to do? What would my roll on the team be?"
Allen was slightly perturbed by the man's attire, as well as the fact that this man clearly knew who he was and had likely been looking for him. He did his best to hide his emotions though."Confused mostly." he replied, "lots of questions going around in my head right now y'know. For example; who are you? How do you know who I am? And what do you want?" he stopped walking and turned to face the man.
Allen sat in his favorite restaurant. He had food in front of him ad he had eaten some of it, but he was too distracted to think much about the food. He had called Jen earlier.It should have been nice to talk to her, Allen's favorite thing to do was to talk to Jen, but again he was too distracted. He was thinking about what he had seen the night of the exam. He had told Jen all about it; how he had been admiring the stars when he heard the sound of something -of several somethings- breaking, how he had hurried to make sure no one was injured (Jen had admired that his first action upon arriving at the scene was to help the wounded girl), how he had fought briefly with Mixt (which he had learned was the name of the boy who had murdered the other student), and how he had woken up, how he remembered Mixt impaling the other student (more vividly than he remembered most of the events that transpired that night, even), and how the next thing he remembered was waking from unconsciousness with a splitting headache and surrounded by what he assumed at first was daylight. It wasn't actually daylight though, he had learned from the crowd that was there when he came to that it was actually light magic. and how Mixt had woken from unconsciousness with himself and the other two that had been there. Allen just didn't understand it. Where had the light magic come from? Why was Mixt unconcious with them when they came to? Most importantly: why had Mixt killed that boy? When he told Jen about his questions she pointed out that he had obviously been hit on the head and that, that cold be interfering with his memory of what happened, and that sometimes people do bad things without a reason. He supposed she was right, and accepted that his memory could be foggy from a hit to the head, but he just didn't understand why Mixt had killed the poor boy. He payed for his food and decided to take a walk around his favorite part of town.
Allen easily deflected Mixt's atack and his smirk just got more cocky. "Is that all you've got?," he said at Rako. He snapped his fingers and the light absorbed by Rako's attack came bursting out, completely destroying the dark ring and rendering the attack useless. He then grabbed his healing elixir and took a swig, negating the stab wound. "My plan was to make sure no one got hurt taking a stupid test." He then turned back to Rako "I've had tougher fights with kids." "Man, this guy is tough," he thought, "better end this quick, or no one's getting out of here." He panicked for a moment as he realized that he would never see Jen again if he died in this fight. The thought Emboldened him as he was filled with a burning determination to see her again. "But I guess it's my turn now." His smirk was gone, he didn't care anymore about intimidating his opponent with his bravado, suddenly he only cared about staying alive to see Jen. He rushed towards the middlemost crystal and jumped forward, focusing his light powers as quickly as he could. As he came in contact with the crystal he unleashed light around him and into it, causing the light to refract from one crystal to another and fill the area with beams of light. The whole area was as bright as day and the intersecting beams of light from the crystals caught Rako like a spider's web. Allen resisted the urge to attempt murdering his foe while he had this advantage. He panted, just as much from desperate rage as from the fatigue of using such powerful magic, "That's it...it's over... this place just became a beacon to everyone for miles...in a few minutes every one taking this test'll be here to see what's going on... do you honestly think you can take on all of us..? Just give up and leave while you can."
"Wow," Allen smirked as he deftly deflected each of the sword strikes, "I knew I was intimidating but I didn't think I'd scare you so bad you'd have to have your weapons fight for you. Or maybe you're just a coward. After all how spineless do you have to be to attack from behind, to attack a girl from behind, even." a slight note of contempt entered Allen's voice at the idea of attacking a girl. "Oh well, not like I haven't dealt with cowards before." After he said this Allen leapt into the air and did a spinning kick to disarm his non-existent attacker. the dark blade went flying through the air and as Allen landed he shot a ray of light from his hand to dispel the dark magic Rako was charging.
The dark orb hit Allen square in the face and knocked him on his back. He gently massaged his face with one hand as he helped himself up with the other. "Well," Allen began in a mocking tone, "when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much," he then went on to explain the birds and the bees to Rako, making it as obvious as he could that he was mocking him. when he was finished with this subject Allen stated, "I'm not sure what that has to do with anything that's going on right now though." He shrugged his shoulders. "Anyway, based on what you just said I'm guessing you're probably the bad guy in this scenario." He summoned his sword to his hand. "So I'm gonna give you one chance to give up and walk away," he assumed a threatening stance, "after that all bets are off."
"Hey," Allen's eyes widened as she pointed the crystal shard at him, "is that anyway to treat someone who just helped you out?" He thought for a moment. "Alright," he began backing away as he spoke, "I'll stand down for now, I did just kinda wander in here after all, and I'm not sure what's going on, other than that you guys," he gestured at the four other people gathered in the area, "are taking this test way to seriously. I'm pretty sure they gave us wooden swords for a reason after all."
Allen climbed down from the tree he was in. He couldn't care less about the test he was supposed to be taking and opted instead to admire the moon and stars. The night sky was beautiful to him and he and Jen both loved to just lie down and stare up at it. He missed Jen. When he heard fighting off in the distance he just ignored it and continued thinking about Jen and the night sky, but at the sound of breaking crystals he became concerned and decided to check things out. He walked quickly to the place where Rako and the others were fighting and was shocked by the scene he walked in on, though he concealed it well. "Hey, what're you guys doing?" he said coolly, "this is supposed to be a game right? You look like you're trying to kill each other." He looked closely at the four people around him, and was alarmed at the sight of Phisoxa's wounds. "You're bleeding," he exclaimed, betraying his shock before regaining his calm demeanor. As he said this he ran, as calmly as a person could run, to her side and began reaching into his pockets. "Here," he said to her as he pulled out a small bottle of dark green liquid, "it's a healing elixir, it tastes like crap but it does its job well. A little of this and you should be good as new." He removed the cap from the bottle and held it out to her.
Okay, weapon changed to a sword.[DOUBLEPOST=1365826763][/DOUBLEPOST]TO ANYONE WHO WAS UPSET WITH MY APPARENT GODMODDING: I wanted to apologize, I'm new to online roleplay and I didn't mean to go overpowered. In all honesty I was just trying to keep my character from getting pwned by another one, I even tryed to limit my character's more overpowered actions, like how I had his stronger magic tire him out. I don't mean to use any of this as an excuse for what I did, I just wanted to explain myself, and say I'm sorry. Sorry.

Personality: Allen is one of the kindest and sweetest people there is, but he comes off cold and distant. He does his best to be wise and always do the right thing, but generally keeps to himself.

His parents never told him of his Eclipsionian ancestry, and so Allen believes himself to be a citizen of Janina. the year before Allen joined the academy Allen met a girl named Jen who he ended up falling in love with, he hasn't seen her in about a year but contacts her occasionally and visits her as often as he can, he also keeps a picture of the two of them (his most valued possession) with him at all times.
