Overview

A's old faceset icon

A is the protagonist of NostAlgic.

It is possible that A is linked with Allan. In nostAlgic's newest update (ver. 0.07), A's name becomes Allan when entering "the home" in the second ending. Presumably, A is a reclusive kid who consequently refuses to leave their room. A's gender is debated, though their item screen includes the word "boku", the informal Japanese way for a man to refer to himself.

A's newest faceset icon

Appearance

A has shoulder-length blond hair that covers their eyes, a light blue-green long sleeved shirt with a red "A" in the middle, blue pants and brown shoes. Although A seems to be of ambiguous gender, with the profile picture completely obscuring their features, one of the effects give A a more feminine look.

Personality

A does not seem very aggressive, unlike most dreamers and despite the presence of a weapon effect. Their dreams are rather light and calming, making it seem like they have a very childish side, and seem to have been mothered a lot.

Past

From their dreams and the ending of nostAlgic, A most likely was very close to their mother, and was loved by her, and they loved her in return. They don't seem to have any sort of spite toward their mother, but rather fear, and even so they still seem to love her very much.
