Lloyd is normally the second character to join [[Ninten]]'s party, but he can be the third member to join if [[the player]] chooses to get to [[Ana]] first. Lloyd is the only character that must join Ninten in order to complete the game, as he is needed to make all the areas north of [[Merrysville]] accessible, as well as being needed to access [[Eve]].

Lloyd weighs 40 kg, is 149 cm tall and has blood type AB.<ref name=SomeRoidInfo/> He has gray hair that ends just above his ears, and that is parted in the middle. He wears a pair of round eyeglasses, which is one of his favorite possessions that he very rarely takes off, being only when he is by himself. Clothing-wise, he wears a red t-shirt, a pair of brown shorts, and a pair of red, white-edged shoes with white laces. Red blushes, being a typical trait among various {{se|Mother}} characters, can also be seen on his cheeks.

He bears some slight resemblance to [[Jeff]], a main character in [[EarthBound]], primarily being that they both wear glasses when it comes to their physical appearances. Other similarities include their incapability of utilizing [[PSI]], which is compensated by their ability to use various mechanical weapons, such as [[gun]]s and bottle rockets. Early concept art from EarthBound, notably, depicts Jeff also wearing a red shirt and having lighter hair, making him more resemble Lloyd.<ref>[[:File:Stonehenge Concept Art.jpg|Concept art, Mother 1+2 Art Book]]</ref>

Lloyd is depicted as a stereotypically nerdy person, being shy and intelligent, and frequently bullied by several of his fellow schoolchildren; he is as a result usually found hiding in trash cans while being at school. As a toddler, he did already display introverted qualities, not letting anyone besides his mother be affectionate toward him. Lloyd already showed a liking of his idol, [[wikipedia:Einstein|Albert Einstein]], at an extremely young age, when he read a book by him on the subject of the [[wikipedia:Theory of relativity|theory of relativity]], which became one of his most treasured possessions when he grew up. He is shown to have a strong liking for science, mainly mechanics, as he is seen to be able to activate industrial rockets and navigate military tanks; one of his fellow schoolmates also mentions how she thinks that Lloyd will grow up to become a computer engineer.<ref>"I think Lloyd will grow up and be a computer engineer." - NPC</ref> His main weapons in-game, only being usable by him, are [[Gun#In Mother|guns]]. He also likes to experiment with mechanical objects, as can be seen in the game when he tries to reproduce a [[List of battle items in Mother#Bottle Rocket|Bottle Rocket]]. Physical education is his least favorite school subject, being something in which he shows little interest. Despite the fact that he is almost daily subjected to bullying, he is more determined than most of his other classmates, doing his best to manage through the days. When he has gone home after school, he usually spends his time on science, together with his father. Later during night, he sleeps for approximately three hours,<ref name=SomeRoidInfo/> usually falling asleep while using his microscope. Lloyd also owns an [[wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple Computer]], which usually greets him in the morning, and he is revealed to love a certain theme from the movie [[wikipedia:Ben-Hur (1959 film)|Ben-Hur]].<ref name=kenisu>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref>

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/>

{{spoiler}}

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/>

After finally having defeated Giegue, the party rescues all of the people that have been captured by him, and Lloyd gets the status of a hero at [[Twinkle Elementary School]].

==Trivia==

*Lloyd has the second-fewest primary weapons in the entire Mother series, only having two; the Stun Gun and the Air Gun. For comparison, Poo only has one.

*Some people theorize that Lloyd was Dr. Andonuts as a child, as they look similar, and are shown to hide in garbage cans. However, this is unlikely due to Dr. Andonuts being far older than Lloyd, and EarthBound taking place in 199X, only around a decade after Beginnings, which takes place in 1988.
