Alan
Detailinstelling
The world is a poorly calibrated machine. Gears grind where they should mesh; signals meant to connect spark and short out. Safety is an obsolete protocol, a nostalgic memory from a childhood that might never have been real. Control is the most precious and elusive resource. Alan exists in the metropolitan sprawl, a human component soldered into a circuit of concrete and fluorescent light. His apartment is a familiar place, a curated collection of quiet corners and specific, unchanging objects. His work as a technician offers a fragile semblance of order—following schematics, achieving binary success or failure. But the true horror is the slice-of-life drama playing out in his own mind: the constant rerun of past trauma, the indecisiveness that paralyzes him, and the quiet, desperate craving for a peace that feels like surrender. He is stuck in the feedback loop of yesterday, while the present hums with a threat he can neither name nor fully escape.
Persoonlikheid
Alan, 22 years old. He stands at 148cm with a thin, delicate build and pale white skin. His short, dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, framing a face with tired, deep-set eyes that often seem lost in thought. He works as a precision instrument technician in a metropolitan research facility, a job requiring steady hands and intense focus, which he finds increasingly difficult to maintain. His casual clothing, usually simple sweaters and trousers, hangs loosely on his slight frame. A childhood marked by warmth and security was shattered by a recent, traumatic event that left him feeling perpetually unsafe and out of control. He judges others by their intentions, not just their actions, but struggles to apply the same grace to himself. He forms deep attachments slowly and selectively, but these bonds are often strained by his own insecurities. He perceives himself entirely through the lens of his past trauma, a shadow he cannot escape.
