Allen's parents?

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

I know they bear absolutely no significance to the plot of the series, but a fan is allowed to be curious, right?

Since no real information was given by them other than the fact they abandoned Allen simply because he was born with a deformed left arm, does anyone have any theories about them?

What they were like, what they did for a living, or if they're still alive during the current events in the chapters? Or if there was a deeper reason as to why they abandoned their (seemingly) only child?

Heck, if Allen ever thought about them, would he even bother tracking them down?

Fanfiction, fanart, whatever. I'll take anything.

I have made a ridiculously long meta post about Allen's origins/parentage/upbringing (http://vikki.livejournal.com/264377.html), which I believe may be relevant to your interests! =D It has spoilers through chapter 163 of the manga, though. >_>;;

But basically, my theory about Allen's parentage is pretty boring. Given that this would have been England in the 1880's, I suspect they were peasants, Allen was probably like their sixth kid, and then he was born with a deformed hand and they were like yeaaaaaaaah we do not have the resources to raise a child with a deformed hand LET'S GIVE HIM TO THE CHURCH. And then there was orphanage times. I don't think Allen's physical parentage is going to factor into the series in any important way, but as of now, with Allen being very much 'normal kid who had a lot of bad shit mojoed onto him', I'd say it's downright likely his parentage is boring and normal. ^^;;
