Enjoys spending alone time with Ryu, going out to mildly public areas with one or two close friends, the casual relationship he had with Niue, stargazing and sky-watching, going for walks. Dislikes the drug addiction he's been carrying around with him, spending time alone, spending time with Niue without a third-party present, alcohol, seeing the way Terry tends to treat Ryu.  

Allison was born into a lower-class family. His father was working two jobs and his mother skipped town with a wealthier man shortly after he was born, leaving his father a single parent of two, living off the government. His sister Sylvia was four years older than he was and was often left at home alone to take care of her younger brother while their father was at work. Allison grew very attached to his sister, who he began to idolize at a very young age. Sylvia was very protective over him, and she made sure nothing bad ever happened to him.  

During his younger years, his family of three were close, or as close as they could be, anyway. Any time he had off, their father would dedicate to the kids, going on walks through the city or staying in at home playing games, spending quality family time together. Their father was initially drafted into the military but obtained a hip injury during his training which prevented him from serving over in Verisket. Otherwise, the mother would have been located and the kids would have been sent to live with her.  

As a young child, Allison got hurt a lot. He was constantly going in for medical attention to joint dislocations and fractured or broken bones. The frequency of pediatrician and hospital visits caused his doctors to grow suspicious of his living situation, however those suspicions were quickly proven unwarranted. At the age of four, Allison was diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, otherwise known as "brittle bone disease," which was given away by the slight blue tint in his sclerae.  After learning about Allison's condition, Sylvia grew more protective of him than she was before. The two of them went everywhere together and Sylvia kept a close eye on Allison, making sure he didn't hurt himself.  

Living with osteogenesis imperfecta meant Allison had a tough time being a normal kid. When he first started school, it had to be made very clear to other students by instructors about his medical condition and what it meant. He didn't feel like a normal kid, so he tended to exclude himself from more hands-on activities with other students. The other kids in his classes often treated him different from they did with the other boys, and he was given the nickname "porcelain" as a method of mocking him. The daily teasing and mockery was manageable until word got out that he was living in a very low-income household with only one parent and his older sister had to take care of him.  

Not long after Allison had started his second year of primary school at age six, his father was laid off from the higher-paying of his two jobs. The family was living off of one low-paying part time job and government welfare cheques. To cope with the loss in income, Allison's father began drinking during late hours of the night, however, his habit slowly began to escalate. Allison and Sylvia began to see their father under the influence more frequently during the evenings, and slowly it became more of an occurrence during the day. His father began to lose control of himself when he drank, and his anger built up over the years began to take him over the edge more often. He didn't want to see his sister get hurt, and he felt as though he owed her for helping him out, so he took the brunt of the rage bottled up in his father's alcoholic mind.  

Around this time, Allison had met Ryu, who he tightly clung onto for the first little while. It wasn't until he became friends with Terry a couple of months after, did he begin to let go of Ryu a little bit. They were the two kids he knew who saw him for more than his physical ailment, which was what initially drew him toward them. The two gave him an excuse to stay out of the house more, so he wasn't around to meet the man his once wonderful father had become over time. He never brought his friends home, and he always found ways to avoid the subject. He kept his home life a secret and claimed the number of bruises that covered his body were caused by his brittle bone disease.  

Allison did his best to keep his relationship with Sylvia as much as he could, however, the two just slowly drifted apart as they spent their time with their own friends in order to stay away from home. The three of them just went around town causing trouble, typical boy stuff. Allison didn't bring up Sylvia to Terry or Ryu, as he knew they would want to meet her if he did, so instead he acted as an only child.  

It wasn't until he was ten years old, did he meet Niue who was just a couple years younger. At first, Allison was a little worried about letting another kid into their friend group of three, but with Terry as the head, he trusted him to know what was best. Even then, it took him a little while to warm up to the new addition. He didn't really speak to Niue much at first, and he didn't tell him about his condition in fear of being made fun of. In the beginning, Allison could identify with Niue in a way, he was just as socially awkward toward the group upon meeting them as Allison was after meeting him. However, that ended once Niue grew more comfortable with the lot of them, and he grew to be quite the rough-houser. All in fun and games, Niue became quite rowdy with the other boys and Allison was blind to get hurt at some point. Sure enough, he did eventually, and he had to be taken to the hospital in order to get a cast put on his leg. It was then, Niue had learned about Allison's bone disease.  

Over the next couple of years, the group grew closer together. However, his three friends began to ask about his home life and his family, even more so than before. He kept quiet about his living situation for years as it was something he didn't necessarily enjoy talking about. He constantly diverted their attention away to the subject in order to avoid doing so, which wasn't always the most effective method. Sylvia ran away when Allison was ten, not giving word to anyone of where she went. In the process, she had to cut contact with everyone she knew, including her brother. Being left alone with his unstable alcoholic father, Allison began to stay out later than ever before in order to avoid him. However, things soon began to change once his father found himself a job when Allison was eleven years old. He quickly cut himself off from the alcoholic beverages in order to get ready for the position and he did what he could to mend his relationship with his son. No matter what, the trauma from his father's actions during his period of alcohol dependency and the anxiety of coming home stuck with him permanently.  

Allison was the first of the group to notice something wasn't quite right with Niue. He didn't speak up about it to Terry or Ryu, as he initially thought he was just sick. That line of thinking quickly vanished when the same odd behaviour continued and Niue seemed to only get worse. Eventually, both curiosity and concern got the better of him and he asked Niue about it, but never did he get a solid answer from him about the subject. By then, the other two boys also began to worry, which only got worse as Niue appeared to be getting sicker and sicker.  

After beginning work, seeing his father became sort of a rare occasion, and they only spoke once ever few weeks at the most. Allison had just though his dad was happy to be back at work which resulted in his lack of presence, something Allison didn't necessarily mind all that much, now that he had friends to spend time with. In actuality, his father had fallen into a massive amount of debt borrowing money from Monstrum to fund his drinking habit and still keep his house. He was given one year to pay him back all of the money he owed once he had found a job.  

Allison had just turned twelve years old when that one year passed and wasn't aware of the situation his father had gotten himself into. One afternoon after classes had ended, Monstrum showed up at the school waiting for him, claiming he was there to pick him up for his father. Allison had met Monstrum a couple of times in the past, knew he was a friend of his dads, and completely believed him when he said his father was working late as he did very often. He went home with him, and upon stepping inside the house, he was punched out cold.  

For close to three years, Monstrum kept Allison in the basement of his home. He kept him on a constant high, feeding him different substances through IVs and forcing him into a long-lasting drug addiction. During his stay, however, Allison was never physically hurt and instead was manipulated emotionally to remain there with Monstrum in charge. He was taken care of relatively decently, though kept out of social contact with anyone other than Monstrum himself in order to keep all control over Allison. It wasn't until almost a year after he was first taken away, was Allison actually told about his father's debt with Monstrum and how it correlated to him being held there with him. This shifted the blame of Allison's life being taken from 

Him over on his father for not taking better care of their financial situation, and he soon began to once again resent his dad.  

Allison was fifteen when he first saw anything outside that basement again. With the idea of Monstrum being a caregiver and friend planted in his mind, he went back to the house often. Whether it be for drugs or a sense of belonging, he went back to Monstrum multiple times per week. He didn't communicate with really anyone else until he reconnected with Niue, who was in even worse shape than before. He learned that the group basically diminished shortly after he left and that Terry and Ryu just kind of vanished from existence as far as he was aware of. At that point, Niue was Allison's only other friend. 

He never went back to school in order to avoid questions about his disappearance, so he spent a lot of time alone during the day. That is, until he reunited with Ryu a few months after he got back with Niue. He had always seen Ryu as his best friend, but at this point, he had different feelings toward him. Upon expressing to him how he truly felt, Allison was rejected instantly. Still, Allison did what he could to remain as close as possible with Ryu, however, he felt as though he was being pushed away by him. Because of this, he began to push back, sometimes to the point where it may have seemed slightly creepy to others. Allison was desperately afraid of being alone again like he was for so long before.  

As Allison began to use with Niue more and more, be started to realize just how much of a problem they both had. Multiple times, he had suggested they both go and kill the addictions. The two went to rehabilitation treatment together, but it didn't last long for either of them with Niue leaving after a month and Allison leaving two months later. He was the first of the two to relapse, having gone back to his addiction after just two weeks of sobriety. Niue was short to follow, going back to crystal almost immediately after Allison.  

For years, he continued in his attempt to re-bond with Ryu, even going as far as hiding his rebounded drug addiction in order to do so. In turn, he began to see both Terry and Switch a whole lot more than before. As a child, he never was too bother by Ryu's alternate, and realized that majority of what he did was for shock value, but as they got older he found his actions to be far more sinister. Switch often tore into Allison in any way he could, claiming he was expressing everything Ryu refused to. As he tried not to take anything seriously, he couldn't help but believe what he was hearing after a while.  

Despite wanting to grow closer with Terry again as well, he couldn't help but feel like an unwanted and inescapable pest to him, and so he remained distant with him. He had noticed that Terry had changed a lot over the past few years, and it seemed as though he was the only one who noticed it. The way Terry acted, treated others, and even spoke just made him feel uncomfortable, and once he found out how Terry had been treating Ryu while he was gone, he really began to detest him. Allison didn't see Terry as fit for Ryu, and he did everything he could to have him realize that. Instead, Ryu began to push him away further while Switch continued to pick him apart for everything he did to an even more intense degree.  

As he got older, he and Niue grew closer into an inseparable pair, which he both enjoyed and despised simultaneously. While he knew and fully understood that Niue was probably the most dangerous person for him to be spending time with given his years of destructive behaviour and habits, he knew without him he would be completely alone. With that, he began sleeping with him at 17 which only deepened the attachment they had with each other. The somewhat strong relationship he had with Monstrum quickly diminished when Allison found out about how he treated Niue on the daily. When he confronted Monstrum about it, he was quickly put into his place, having a leg and a foot broken in the process.  

He and Niue soon began visiting much more often, and shortly before turning 18, they began mixing the exchange of drugs in with intercourse. Allison was aware of Niue's polygamous nature and multiple relationships, and while this bothered him, he felt he didn't deserve better. Even more so, he didn't want to lose the only close friend he had at this point in his life, and so he settled with what he had. It wasn’t until this point where Allison began to meet other people who Niue was involved with, Skitzel being the first of the bunch around a year or so later. 

In the beginning, their relationship was rocky with Skitzel being more of the jealous type. Allison so badly wanted Skitzel to like and accept him, and he did all he could to get to know him more. Niue and Skitzel were very early in their relationship when Allison was first introduced to him, and he didn’t find about Allison and Niue engaging in regular intercourse until hearing about it directly from Niue. After discovering this, Skitzel just pushed Allison away as he wanted nothing to do with anyone else and was sexually involved with Niue, which only left him using with him more. Over the course of many months however, Skitzel slowly began to open up with Allison, eventually to the point where they had some sort of a relationship forming between them. Even then, Allison still didn’t really feel entirely wanted by Skitzel, who displayed intense dislike toward he and Niue spending large amounts of time together. 

From then on, Niue still reigned as the one Allison kept closest with, no matter how much it truly hurt him to consider him as such with the state that he was in. His relationship with Monstrum remained extremely tense, but he still went over for drugs whenever he couldn’t find any elsewhere. He still tried to keep in contact with Ryu as much as possible, who was the only one Allison felt he could truly be himself and let out everything that had been built up inside for so long. Allison still had feelings for Ryu and made subtle attempts to get with him. He wasn’t fully aware of Ryu and Terry and where their relationship stood at this point. Terry and Allison didn’t have the greatest relationship either as there was constantly conflict between them.
