Lloyd's six most treasured possessions are his theory of relativity book, his PC software, his [[wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] doll, his tool set, his eyeglasses, and his trophy from the "Pan-American Concentration Convention: Boy's Division Championship".<ref name=LloydsFavoriteThings>[[:File:Lloyd's Favorite Things.png|Excerpt from Lloyd's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> He found the theory of relativity book on his [[Lloyd's father|father]]'s bookshelf at the age of three, and it sparked his interest for Albert Einstein during the following years. He mainly uses his PC to play games, and he can sometimes display aggressive behavior upon losing a game or if a game starts to malfunction. The Superman doll is one of his few possessions that does not pertain to science, where it is hinted that it may be due to him being able to identify himself with Superman, as he has two roles: one as an ordinary man, and one as a hero. His tool set serves more as a memento rather than building devices, as that specific tool set is the first one he ever got, being bought by his mother. Lastly, the trophy he got at the convention was one he managed to win after having displayed an impressive memory capacity, though all that is left of the actual trophy is its stand, as he has used the copper that the trophy consisted of for his various experiments.<ref name=kenisu/><ref name=LloydsFavoriteThings/>

Lloyd was born in [[Merrysville]], where he was given birth to ten days and ten hours behind the scheduled time, and has lived there from then on. At the age of three, he read a book by Albert Einstein, concerning the theory of relativity, who since then has had great influence on him. He invented "Bathroom TV", which he dedicated to Einstein, when he was four years old, where he from the bathroom directed four mirrors toward the TV in the house's living room, enabling him to watch television while bathing. When he was eight years old, he was near completion of a time machine that he had been building on, also being dedicated to Einstein; he announced it to everyone in his class, but due to his frequent exposure to bullying, he hid in a trash can when making the announcement, and was barely heard by anyone.<ref name=kenisu/>

During the events of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], he is first met by [[Ninten]] in a trash can located on the roof of [[Twinkle Elementary School]] in [[Merrysville]], hiding from the other schoolchildren. When spoken to by Ninten, he initially refuses to come out, being afraid that everyone will pick on him if he does, but after being convinced that Ninten does not want to do him any harm, he leaves the bin and introduces himself, and thereafter says that he would like to fly a [[List of key items in Mother#Bottle Rocket|Bottle Rocket]] from [[Sweet's Little Factory]]. After Ninten manages to get him a Bottle Rocket from the factory, Lloyd takes him down to the lab room of the school, in an attempt to reproduce even more rockets, but ultimately fails with the experiment, which instead ends in a huge explosion. He then joins Ninten on his quest in retrieving [[Eight Melodies|eight specific melodies]].

A set of rocks block the way to the town's [[Union Station|train station]], so the two of them head off to [[Duncan's Factory]], where they thanks to Lloyd's experience in mechanics manage to send away a rocket toward the rocks, which successfully clears the path to the station. They do then via a train go to [[Reindeer]], where a woman gives them a [[List of key items in Mother#Hat|hat]], which she believes belongs to a girl in [[Snowman]]. After going to Snowman, they deliver the hat to a young girl named [[Ana]], who as a result joins Ninten's and Lloyd's party, believing that they will help her find her lost mother.

The party then heads off to [[Spookane]], where dangerous creatures have taken over a big portion of the settlement, forcing the majority of the citizens to abandon half of the town. Additionally, ghosts and other hostile beings have been showing up in a [[Rosemary Manor|house]] in the outskirts of the town. After obtaining the key from the mother of the family whom once owned the house, the party enters the building, where they find a piano situated deep inside of it, that plays the [[Eight Melodies|fourth melody]] once they have [[check]]ed it.

The three of them then head back to the Union Station in Merrysville, where they detour around the broken railroad tracks in order to reach the [[Yucca Desert|desert]] on the other side. After walking through the sand-ridden area for a while, the party encounters a cactus that seemingly appears to have a face. After communicating with it [[Telepathy|telepathically]], the cactus will start to sing the [[Eight Melodies|fifth melody]], which the party memorizes. After walking around the desert further, the party meets an old man, who will give them his tank in exchange for ten [[List of key items in Mother#Ticket Stub|Ticket Stub]]s, which can be purchased from him. With the tank in their possession, the trio discovers the entrance to a [[Ruins of Desert|ruin]] situated in the desert; they are however stopped by a [[R7037|huge robot]], whom they are engaged in a battle with. They manage to defeat the mechanical being, but unfortunately lose the tank in the process. They then enter the ruins, and after having gone around the monkey-filled, maze-like area for a while, they find an odd-looking stone that when checked transports them to {{ebb|Magicant}}.

The party walks to the [[Magicant Underground]], being the residence to a sleeping dragon, that upon feeling [[Ninten]]'s presence battles them. The dragon starts to sing the [[Eight Melodies|sixth melody]] after being defeated, and then simply goes back to sleep. When exiting the underground, the party are teleported to a cave northwest of [[Youngtown]]. They pass through the town, and continue towards a [[swamp]]. While progressing through the swamp, the party briefly meets [[Lloyd's father]], hiding in a trash can in front of a house. He asks for [[the player]]'s name if they did not input it on their visit in [[Snowman]], and then tells them to look out for Lloyd, stating that he is a real weakling. Later, the trio arrives at the city of [[Ellay]].

Later, the trio arrives at the city of [[Ellay]].


In Ellay, after having purchased a [[List of key items in Mother#Ticket|ticket]], the party gets to perform in front of an audience in a building called the [[Live House]]. The leader of the [[Bla-Bla Gang|local gang]], [[Teddy]], does however confront them after the act, and a fight takes place onstage. The battle is however ended abruptly by Teddy, who is impressed by Ninten's fighting ability. He says that he wants to revenge the death of his parents, and that they must head off to the mountains in order to do so. He then forces Lloyd to leave the party, being doubtful in his strength, and thereafter replaces him, while also taking all his items with him.

During a later segment of the game, Lloyd makes a return when the party has been attacked by a [[R7038|giant robot]] at [[Mt. Itoi]], where he brings along another tank. He places them inside the tank and takes them down to a house at the base of the mountain, where a doctor resides and offers them free treatment. Teddy did however get more damage from the attack than [[Ninten]] and [[Ana]] and must stay in the house, having his place taken by Lloyd, who states that it is time for himself to prove his strength.
