Aside from his most common disguise, he has numerous other looks.

Clothing Style

Alotana's clothing totally depends on the situation or his current disguise. However, his style tends to be more edgy, dark colored, and sometimes a bit punk styled, whether he is dressed casually or formally. He tends to prefer black as a based color with varying accent colors, usually purple or white, sometimes red or blue, but he's open to most things. He tends to like fingerless gloves, chokers, multiple belts, and silver jewelry to accessorize. He'll sometimes wear sunglasses, dog-tags, or head accessories like beanies, hoods, or headbands. He also prefers to not wear shirts if he can and wears open jackets instead.

Oddly enough sometimes he has figured out how to disguise himself as an angel/demon in certain realms, his most common look for these having black leathery wings and a halo. They seems to be genuine wings and a rifting based halo, but he'll never give you a straight answer if you ask how he acquired them or if they're actually real.

Personality

Alotana is a cool-headed and sarcastic man surrounded by mystery. He tends to keep a level-headed and collected demeanor at all times, and he rarely seems affected by what happens around him unless it's on his short list of annoyances. He tends to be hard to approach and is rather cynical and cryptic when he speaks, and he has an aloof and rather elitist personality that makes it difficult for others to reach him on a personal level. He is often rather flippant and rude to most people, but he usually conveys himself in a low-energy and seemingly apathetic manner. Otherwise he tends to seem a little grumpy or even snippy depending on when you approach him. He is often unhelpful and dismissive toward those who ask him questions, and he'll certainly be condescending if he finds the person addressing him too immature or unworthy of his time. Alotana's main pet peeve is "weird people," or people that seem to be acting over-the-top and quirky just for the sake of being quirky, despite the fact that he's could arguably be described as weird and quirky. He will not tolerate any "weirdness" from anyone and may very well refuse to associate with or even acknowledge the existence of anyone that irritates him. He tends to act like he's smarter and better than pretty much everyone, but he does know his limits. In general, he will do whatever is necessary to keep himself a few steps ahead and maintain control of whatever situation he may be in, but he's also very uncooperative and will not do anything to bring anyone around him up to speed or help them keep up with him. He'll likely mock or toy with others that seek answers from him, and he never cooperates with people trying to have their shining moment. He's extremely uncooperative with Anatola, and although he will help her along sometimes, he never seems to give her a straight answer and makes her work to figure out his motives. It's obvious he works best on his own and tends to make things more difficult for anyone that interferes with his agenda.

Alotana is skilled with hand to hand combat, swordplay, firearms, and who knows what else. His favorite weapons seem to be katanas and handguns. He also is a skilled driver and is commonly seen traveling by motorcycle. He also is a very skilled skateboarder, although don't expect any clear answer if you ask him how or when he learned. He also won't explain to you where he learned to ballroom dance, mix drinks, draw, engineer a mechanical hound companion, train a falcon, or anything else obscure he might know how to do or where he learned to do a lot of odd jobs. He'll always give you the same answers, either: "I needed an elective" or "Student loans ain't gonna pay themselves."

Backstory

Not much is known about Alotana. He was listed in Anatola's Academy file under "Associated Files," but no details were given about him and no file on him has ever been found. He suggests he used to be a student at the Academy, but he does not elaborate on for how long or what exactly he studied. He also does not clarify why he is listed in Anatola's file or who he is to her. From repeated encounters with a certain bounty hunter, it is implied that this bounty hunter was once hired by the Academy to erase Alotana's existence, but since the fall of Sakavist the hunter pursues him due to a personal vendetta. Alotana suggests the hunter was a graduate of the Academy and they knew each other during their enrollment, yet for some reason he does not explain why neither of their memories were tampered with.

Anatola works to track him down for answers, and Alotana, while not actively avoiding her, has no intent on giving her any. He's more occupied by the constant threat of the bounty hunter who will not rest until he claims his prey.
