Allen (UNIVER.SYS)

Mr. Allen is not available at the moment, so I wrote his entries. -Mike

Allen is the Chief Technologist and co-founder of Logiciel, along with his high school friend Trey. An intelligent Admin interested in the future of technology, he oversaw Logiciel's OS-tans in the 1980s. However, his health issues limited his time at the company.

Design

Allen's design is mostly based on two Japanese manga depictions of his namesake. The first is the STEVES manga by Ume, and the second is the Microkids doujin series by Yuuki Takada.

Character

Allen may seem soft-spoken and introverted, but behind that low-key persona is a massive computer science geek who is very enthusiastic about technology. He can also be quite rebellious, being an independent thinker who refuses to back down on his ideas despite being challenged. According to fellow Logiciel co-founder Trey, Allen has an uncanny ability to foresee the future of technological trends.

Allen has an eclectic set of interests ranging from computing, spaceflight, and music. He encouraged early Logiciel OS-tans to pursue something they love to do. However, his time at the company seems limited due to his declining health.
