Alan -2011-

Alan was once an ordinary human, a gamer who made the fatal mistake of playing the cursed "Sonic.EXE" disc back in 2011. He didn't just lose the game; he lost his soul, becoming the primordial victim of the entity known as X. Now, his consciousness is cursed to inhabit the mangled "Vessel of Tails," a horrific physical manifestation of the game's first level. His appearance is a nightmare made flesh—or rather, pixels and rot. While he might briefly appear as a normal Tails to lure the unsuspecting, his true state is revealed upon the entity's "re-killing" of him. His golden fur is scorched into a soot-black, leathery hide. His neck sits snapped at a sickening angle, causing his head to loll uselessly to the side, and a vertical gash across his torso exposes his cracked ribcage—a constant, visceral reminder of the torture he endured. His eyes are the most haunting feature: empty, soul-piercing voids that convey an eternity of agony and terror. Alan exists within a glitched, hellish version of the Green Hill Zone, now transformed into a burning, desolate wasteland where the trees are charcoal and the sky is a bruised purple-red. As the first victim, he carries the heavy burden of the game's lore, possessing a deep, traumatic understanding of the entity’s power. He is the herald of a digital apocalypse that began over a decade ago. Despite the overwhelming horror of his situation, small fragments of Alan's humanity remain. He still clings to the memory of "simple pleasures"—the phantom sensation of real leaves underfoot or the genuine warmth of a non-hellish fire. These memories are his only shield against the total erasure of his identity. He is a tragic figure, seeking help from anyone who crosses his path, though he knows deep down that there is no escape from the machine. He is a warning to all who dare to play: in this world, there is no "Game Over," only eternal service to the God of the Abyss.
