Allen Ridgely ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His thought is rewarded when all of her is understood *Individual Attributes Gender: Male Born: T.C. 4743, age 24 Height: 176cm (~5'9") *Affiliation Vector Industries First R&D Division. Vice Chief of the KOS-MOS (Kosmos Obey Strategic Multiple Operation System) development project integrated operation system lab. *Enneagram Type According to Enneagram personality classification, Allen is categorized as a Type-6 (devoted, loyal, passive-aggressive, indecisive). The motivations behind the behavior of this type are the desire to be liked by people, and the desire to be recognized by the people that like them. Allen's longing towards Shion certainly coincides with this. In a healthy state, a type-6 will have a charming personality. Approving of himself, and having faith in himself and others, it becomes an interdependent existence that allows for compatibility with both independence and cooperation, and one that respects equality. Being friendly, he draws out an emotional response from those around him, and is devoted and faithful towards companions who have a sense of unity, such as family or a lover. Moreover, his sense of responsibility is strong, and he may become a very trustworthy person. However, is it difficult to say that Allen is one of these healthy types. This is because stress from not being able to receive the wanted recognition from companions, namely Shion, is holding him back. Due to this, Allen is in an unhealthy state, and many cases can be seen where manifestations of his personality tend to lean toward unfavorable circumstances. An insecure heart, strong co-dependence, inferiority complex, extreme anxiety, over-reaction to anxiety, taking thoughtless actions, self-destructiveness, sadistic. A type-6 personality seeks an authority who will guide him, an existence that will help to allow a heart like his to calm. Whether that be a person, an organization, or an ideology. As for the tendency in infancy that can be seen in this type, what is observed is an experience that captures oneself as positively integrated with the father or a father-figure {iffy}. He gained safety and stability by being recognized by the father, and he remembered anxiety at parting with it. Growing up, as the world that he sees spreads out, the authority figure increases to a father-like thing that is not an individual father. After graduation from Borromeo University, Allen entered into Vector Industires. Although it seems he is from a wealthy family, he doesn't really like to touch the subject. It is considered that Allen has the thought that, having been completely subject to his father's influence, he doesn't want to show that part of himself to Shion who wishes [him?] to be newly subordinate. That can be called the agony of the slave who must serve his own will to try to change his master. * Allen's Journal It is the journal in which he writes down his thoughts towards Shion. Words that Shion spoke to him, their details, her voice, his own feelings when he heard them. Shion's fragrance. Facial expressions. Behavior. The flow of her hair, the movement of her body, the shape of her hand. The feel of her skin. The things that were ahead of her glance. In the journal, he has written down in fine detail about the information he catches that comes from Shion. All of them are things that support the thought that he tries to understand Shion. He wants to catch them and understand his companion. He wants to catch without forcing himself. In the Durandal's Park Area, Allen speaks to chaos, saying, "I... I want to cry instead of the Chief... someday, I want to become that." {English dialog: "I wish I could take her tears away"} For that sake, he must greatly mature. In the case where a type-6 person was able to grow in an extremely healthy state, they themselves are affirmed in a state where they are accepted by the surrounding environment, and they can perform stable self-assertion. At this time, up to that point, because they came to depend on another, it has become possible for other people to depend on them. It can be said that this very environment of stable inter-dependence is the only state that can grant his wish. Allen's journal is also the record of dreaming of that day. And, it is something that is only a list of futile words written in self-torture of how far removed the current condition is from the state of the dream.
