Personality: Lloyd is best described as your generic hero, while a bit of a reckless teenager, his strong will and genuine belief in the goodness of others are his redeeming qualities, qualities that constantly uplift and inspire others to be the best they can be, which is certainly necessary in a journey as arduous as regenerating the world. When we first meet the spunky brown haired boy, he is as naïve as they come. With little to no knowledge of the world around him, his actions are based solely on his simplistic nature. When he sees something in need of help, he helps. Or so he tries. In a way it’s admirable that he holds such strong values (notably revealed through his recitations of the Dwarven Vows, a series of proverbs that describe basic values and morals everyone should strive towards), however his harmless intent also proves to be a burden at times. When he jumps at the chance to protect one of his closest friends, Colette, he has absolutely no idea what he has signed up for, and so as he begins to discover revelation after revelation, his ability to cope and resolve these conflicts are put to the test. When he learns that his exsphere for example, is not simply an object used to increase one’s fighting skill, but something that has been cultivated from human life, Lloyd quickly abandons his exsphere out of despair for those killed. As such his approach to remain righteous becomes a hindrance when he is faced with the choice of protecting the people he loves versus maintaining a clear conscience. Fortunately, these hardships also act as a trigger, initiating Lloyd’s growth as a character. We see him come to terms with his exsphere, choosing to use it when he realizes that protecting his friends is far more important and reason enough. Slowly he begins to mature in a way that still maintains his former principles of goodness and compassion, yet pushes him understand that his actions can have serious consequences and to learn from his mistakes.

In a general sense, Lloyd is more or less a very easy going guy. He is accepting of all and doesn’t think to judge until he gets to know their personality too. In terms of book smarts, he is certainly lacking, and is constantly making all sorts of blunders, plenty of which cause the rest of his party to look at him like he’s an idiot. In his defense, there are more important things to think about rather than what’s going on in class, and so staring out the window or sleeping is much more ideal. When it comes down to doing something he believes in however, no one can extinguish his determination, and he will definitely see it to the end. Even in the face of something as big as restoring an entire world, Lloyd doesn’t appear to be fazed, instead his ideals only seem to grow in order to bring peace and please everyone. Despite everything, his biggest motivation would have to be Colette, and while it is not easy to upset or bother him, when it involves Colette, he will place her safety and happiness even before his own.

Abilites: Lloyd is very skilled at swordsmanship and fights with twin blades. In particular, his exsphere attached to his hand increases his strength incredibly, giving him superhuman powers. Aside from that, he also has a pair of wings that allow him to fly, a knack for befriending other, and is pretty alright at craftsmanship.
Other: N/A

SAMPLES
First Person: Here's a link to a thread. Lloyd's comments are under "lloyally".

Third Person: When Lloyd awoke, he did so on the ground. Falling face first into the grass was certainly enough to jolt him awake, and as he sat up rubbing at his sore nose and blinking away his blurred vision, he couldn't quite recall when he had fallen asleep in the first place. It was definitely morning, but last he had checked, he had been situated in a house, not in front of a... neighborhood? As his eyes began to adjust to his surroundings, it became clear to him that he did not recognize this place at all. He could see houses stacked down the street, one after another all similar in appearance. Twisting his head around, he spotted a large shaped chair situated directly behind him, which, as he now put two and two together, realized that he had probably been seated there moments ago. Beyond the chair however, was a house, quite identical to every other one, and this is when the uncertainty set in.

Standing up slowly, Lloyd glanced around once more before marching towards the house in front of him. If he couldn't figure this out on his own, someone had to be around to give him some answers. He knocked at the door, waited, then knocked again.

"Helloooo? Is anyone there?" he called loudly through the door. No response. Lloyd sighed and scratched at the back of his head. "Man, if only the professor was here. What am I suppose to do now?". Walking back to the large chair, Lloyd seated himself back down, this time taking note of the shiny object on the grass below.

"Huh...a set of keys..." he dangled the keys from his finger and stared at the colourful assortment. "Do these belong to someone? ...Wait a second, if someone lost their keys then they're probably looking for them right now. It's my duty to return them! Dwarven Vow number fifteen: Always return what's not yours!" standing up with sudden determination, he glanced down at the street and noticed someone in the far distance.

"Hey wait up!"
