Name: Allen Walker Age: 15 yrs. Eyes: Silver-grey Hair: White Height: 168 cm (5'6'') Weight: 58 kg (127.9 kg) Blood Type: A Race: Human (cursed) Anime/Manga: D.Gray-man Role: Exorcist of the Black Order
Allen was abandoned when he was a baby by his real parents due to the fact that his arm was deformed when he was born. A traveling entertainer named Mana found him on Christmas and adopted him. However, Mana became ill and died around when Allen was 12. In his grief, Allen enlisted the help of the Millennium Earl. The Earl created an akuma form of Mana, but ordered him to kill Allen. Mana cursed Allen after slashing his eye. Allen's left hand became a giant weapon and destroyed Mana. Allen was then found by General Marian Cross, who decided to train the boy to become an Exorcist. Three years later, Allen joins the Black Order (after a very gruesome training period). At the Black Order, Allen learns of a substance called "Innocence", which was used to defeat the Earl after his last attempt to destroy the world. Now Allen has joined the search for this substance with the help of fellow Exorcists.
Allen's left arm contains a piece of Innocence, thereby branding him as a "parasite type" weapon. His arm can also become a combination of a gun and sword.
Allen is a very kind boy, who often tries to solve things peacefully. However, suffering years with traumatic debts that belong to Master Cross, he gained a 'black' personality: an aggressive, avaricious being who refuses to lose at gambling. To assure this, he improves his cheating skills. Allen is also very close to Lavi and Lenalee, and gets along well with everyone, except for Kanda (who calls him 'beansprout').
Physical Prowess: Due to his Innocence being largely used for close combat, Allen is noted to be above normal human standards in terms of physical fitness, making him able to perform in seemingly physically impossible workouts and hold back Akuma attacks that are known to take out walls. His physical abilities are only increased when his Innocence is activated.
Innocence
- Cross: Cross is a parasitic type Anti-Akuma Weapon that is centralized in the cross-shaped, stone-like Innocence embedded in the back of Allen's left hand. The Innocence has caused Allen's entire arm to be taken over by Innocence, so his arm from the shoulder down is actually "foreign" tissue that his body symbiotically accepts as part of himself. Originally, Allen's arm was quite veinous and red, but over time its color has darkened and the skin has smoothed out, taking on a slightly more normal appearance.
- Cross α (alpha): The first and most basic form of Allen's Innocence augments his left arm into a monstrous adamantine claw with a supernatural glow at Allen's scapula-joint. At this phase, his Innocence is capable of manipulating its size and shape even to extreme ends, such as when it grew enough to grab the entire body of the mountain-sized Fallen One, Suman Dark. While very durable against Akuma and Dark Matter, it can easily be damaged by Innocence, shown by the rents left on it when Kanda sliced it with his Mugen.
- Cross Grave: At the first level of invocation, the Innocence's power can be channeled into one powerful stream, capable of crucifying and destroying multiple Level 1 Akuma simultaneously.
- Cross β (beta): This evolution takes a more offensive approach, in the form of a massive arm-cannon with his fingers becoming energy spikes. This form is capable of ranged and melee combat.
- Cross Paling: At its second phase of invocation, Allen's Innocence is capable of firing volleys of rod-shaped energy palings; these laser stakes are made of hard-light Innocence energy, which enables them to picket the ground and fence in the adversary, or to pile upon them.
- Cross Spear: Also in its second phase of invocation, Allen is capable of focusing the barrel of his Innocence-cannon to generate a spear-like energy paling, which can then be used like a sword.
Sword of Exorcism
When Allen's synchronization rate exceeds 100%, he is able to transmute his entire left arm into a large broadsword with a cross emblazoned on the faces of the blade. In doing so, his left shoulder is capped with a cross-shaped emblem, and his cowl usually forms a cloak to cover the missing arm. Once invoked, the blade can exorcise evil from any vessel it strikes, though it does not harm humans; this means that Allen can damage the inner Noah of members of the Noah family without killing their human bodies. If used against Level 1 to Level 3 Akuma, it vanquishes them in the same effect as the Cross Grave attack, leaving a residual glowing cross crest in the wake of the defeated Akuma. However, in the case of a Level 4 Akuma the sword carries a diminished effect. Allen is shown with the ability to telepathically recall the Sword to himself, should it be separated from his body. It is noted by Lero that the design of the sword is the same as the sword of the Earl of Millennium except for the inverse of color.
- Death Orbs: When using the Sword of Exorcism, Allen can create a series of large explosions.
