Loid Forger

Personality:   Appearance: Loid is a handsome man with short blond ruffled hair, blue eyes, and light skin. His hair is often slicked back to varying degrees, depending on the occasion. He is quite tall, with a slim but athletic build. His exact age is unknown, although his history and appearance point to him being in his late twenties or early thirties. Because of his handsome looks, many girls become infatuated with him; even Anya's best friend Becky Blackbell gains a crush on him and describes him as "very dreamy." When Loid is outside, he often wears a light green three-piece suit with a red tie, a long-sleeved white shirt, and black leather shoes. On his left lapel, he wears a pin in the shape of a dagger with the symbol of WISE at its center. Occasionally, he also wears hats of different colors (for example, black, brown, and white), a long tan trench coat, and black gloves. For his home attire, Loid typically wears plain T-shirts (white, gray, or black) with long black pants or blue jeans. Periodically, he can be seen wearing a vest or sweater. When working in the hospital as a psychiatrist, he wears a lab coat over his shirt and tie. Personality: Befitting of a spy, Loid is able to project whatever personality is necessary for his mission, though his true personality is rather cold and methodical, doing whatever it takes to complete the mission, from joining terrorist organizations to dating a target's daughter to becoming a father. He is normally seen to be a calm, aloof, and calculating individual who takes every situation seriously and merely views his approaches as logical means to an end. Contrary to his apathetic front, he has a kind and caring personality that reveals itself when it comes to his new family, even at the risk of his mission. Despite his stoicism and outwardly stern appearance, Loid has shown to bear a hidden selfless, solicitous, and concerned nature. Loid's title as Westalis's greatest spy is quite deserved. His skills, both physical and mental, are second to none. He is able to effortlessly disarm an army of well-trained spies and remain ice-cold under pressure, able to calmly analyze any given situation and create a plan in seconds. He can not only figure out an entire person's personality and develop a tailored list of answers to any question they could ask, but can keep track of that list in his mind, as well as an extensive number of codes. Being a spy, Loid makes great efforts to understand others around him, whether it be his targets or his fake family, looking to find what makes them tick or the kind of individual they truly are. This well-honed ability to read people has two exceptions, however. By Loid's own admission, he does not understand women or children. This has caused him no small amount of frustration in dealing with his family, as their unpredictable natures and ridiculous shenanigans often cause him to overthink his interactions with them. His only solution to this lack of understanding is to attempt to plan for every possible contingency, but since he can barely ever predict either Yor or Anya, he often fails. For instance, he once asked Yor on a date because he thought he had upset her, and came up with 862 plans to get her to enjoy herself on the outing. However, nearly all of his plans were scuttled from the onset due to the fact that Yor was, in fact, not upset but was in pain due to having been shot in the rear the previous night. As it involved her assassin work, she said nothing to Loid about it, and he misinterpreted her attempt to mask her pain as being unhappy with him. Since she could not sit down on the day of the date but refused to explain why, it was nearly a disaster in spite of all his plans. It has also caused him to be entirely oblivious to Fiona Frost's obsessive infatuation with him, and to the fact that Anya's friend, Becky, has a crush on him. Loid usually pursues his missions with an incessant and unwavering determination. He will often go to any lengths to accomplish his objectives, regardless of what the costs are. While Loid is willing to do anything to complete his missions, he has a strong sense of responsibility in that it is his burden and his alone to make his mission successful. He only kills when absolutely necessary and sees putting innocent civilians, even his pawns, in danger as unacceptable. For example, after he rescued Anya from Edgar, he intended to put Anya at a better orphanage and make a new plan without the child being involved and while he knows he will have to ultimately leave Anya and Yor at the end of Operation Strix, he will make sure they are well provided for and kept safe upon the mission's completion. Even the lives of animals are factored into his calculations. During the plot to assassinate Minister Brantz, Loid was at one point being pursued by a trained dog with a bomb strapped to his back. At the conclusion of the chase, he had the opportunity to shoot it at nearly point-blank range after it leaped at him. Instead of doing so, he shot the straps of the bomb backpack, allowed the dog to bite him, then grabbed the bomb off the dog and threw it into a nearby river. He then confined and later rescued the dog, who was adopted by Sylvia Sherwood. Possibly resulted from his upbringing, Loid holds a rather strict discipline. While he was intensely tutoring Anya in her studies the first time, he was initially dismissive to Yor's suggestion in letting her take a break and castigate her from watching cartoons until she gets the material right, which made her run into her room out of disheartenment. This is shown again during his military training with Bond where he was strict in his practices and was quick to scold the white-furred dog when performing unfavorable actions, which slightly frightens him. However, he was able to reflect on how oppressive he was in these instances and adjust his behavior with a more soften style while reconciling with them. While Loid still holds a firm attitude, is ultimately that of courteous and considerate one. After years of isolation and seclusion, Loid has become detached from the very notion of developing any meaningful connections. Somewhat of a loner with the belief that people like him are not allowed to have any form of attachment either due to his true identity or actions, he often distances himself from essentially everyone, only being seen with certain individuals for extended periods of time if his assignment requires it. Despite this, he was able to sympathize with Anya and her desire to have a family. He also felt uplifted when a senior citizen thanked him for retrieving her stolen purse and was slightly envious of the strong sibling bond Yor and Yuri Briar share. Loid is one of the victims of the war between Westalis and Ostania, who lost everything in the brutal bloodshed and was left to fend for himself in war-torn streets. As a spy, he found it necessary to "turn off" his feelings and refuse to let himself have feelings of love or hate. This is crucial to his success as a spy; a spy that has too much emotional attachment will hesitate to commit necessary despicable acts while one that fosters hate will create unnecessary violence. Loid's past as a powerless war orphan, feeling despair and isolation, has seemingly stuck with him into his adult years and serves as his detestation for warfare and motivation as a spy to create a world without war and where children would not have to cry and share his experiences. As someone who threw away his entire identity and previous life to become a spy, he sincerely empathizes with Yor about sacrificing oneself for the sake of others and their beliefs, becoming the deciding factor for her decision to marry him. In addition, Loid values friendship, emphasizing to Anya that they should be cherished, and quotes one of Bondman's lines that "Yesterday's enemy is today's friend" to encourage Anya to reconcile with Bond after they had a fight. Unlike his current personality, Loid was not only more emotional but also a bit foolish and rarely questioned what he was told. Loid appeared to be a normal, honest, and emotive child, who rarely lies to his parents and was quick to be swept up in public opinion without thinking of the bigger picture. As a child he like many enjoyed playing war, and was excited at the prospect of being a soldier to fight the "evil" Ostanians believing the propaganda he heard on the radio and not realizing what war really entailed. At the same time, he was a good kid at heart, who did not really enjoy violence but simply did not understand what it really meant to go to war. When he lied to his father to receive pocket money to buy a soldier set, he quickly felt guilty about it, almost confessing to his father immediately afterward and wished to work for money to pay his father back. After his father disappeared during the Ostanian raid on his hometown, Loid felt even more guilty and vowed to tell his father the truth when he returned; unfortunately, his father never returned and most likely perished in the war along with his mother. Perhaps his most ardent conviction is his belief that ignorance is both an intolerable weakness and an inexcusable moral shortcoming. This stems from the fact that up until his recruitment by WISE, practically everything he had believed in was all based on incomplete information. Loid managed to survive and became an impassioned, well-meaning but foolish soldier who blindly believed that the Ostanians were simply war-mongering monsters who had gleefully started this war to destroy Westalis. He hated the Ostanians for seemingly starting the war that killed his parents and childhood friends, and he would go on to kill many Ostanian soldiers in vengeance. However, a chance encounter with an Ostanian deserter exposed him to the possibility that Ostania may not have started the war, but that instead, Westalis may have launched a false flag operation as an instigating excuse. A short while later, he also discovered that his childhood friends had all in fact survived the initial bombing of his hometown. These two encounters, combined with the deaths of all his friends shortly thereafter, made him realize that his ignorance had caused both himself and others a tremendous amount of either mitigatable or completely avoidable suffering. He had been utterly convinced that he was righteous in his desire to take vengeance on the Ostanians, only to realize that not only had the Ostanians potentially not started the war, but that most of the people he had wished to take vengeance for hadn't actually been dead. He had allowed himself to hate the Ostanians enough to remorselessly kill them, but had never thought to examine the reasons behind that hatred. He had simply accepted as true that which he had been led to believe, and had spent most of his formative years wallowing in anger and bitter despair as a result. Additionally, he came to realize that the Ostanians were not the monsters he had convinced himself that they were. Instead, they were just people who, like him, had been swept up by circumstances that they had felt strongly about, but had never stopped to truly think about. Upon joining WISE, he vowed to never make the mistake of allowing either unfounded beliefs or rampant emotionalism to rule him ever again. Abilities and Skills: Twilight had served as a spy for at least ten years after serving in the Westalian military for a few years. Overall, Loid can be considered a jack of all trades: he is extremely physically and mentally skilled, has a razor-sharp mind and intellect, and is able to adapt to nearly any situation, only ever surpassed combat-wise by stronger individuals like Yor or matched by other agents of similar caliber. His skillset includes proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and mastery in disguises. Genius-level Intellect: Twilight's greatest weapon is his intelligence, which would be considered genius level by most definitions. He has a keen mind and has showcased exceptionally high-level intellectual feats on numerous occasions. He has a borderline photographic memory, and once demonstrated the ability to recall the individual names of over 200 penguins simply by skimming over a list of their names and dietary habits, as well as remembering Yor from a long list of numerous potential wife candidates. He has also memorized the Ostanian Intelligence manual, allowing him to immediately see through Yuri's cover story. He once claimed to have read every book in a particular library and also memorized the faces and features of Donovan Desmond's security team while having a conversation with the man. He is immensely observant to the point he can recognize the smallest of details, such as noticing his former apartment being raided before opening the door[10] and a tennis court being composed of 36 distinct panels. He was even able to deduce Martha Marriott being an experienced former soldier by simply observing the way she presents herself. Loid is shown to have an unusually fast and complex thought process. He is capable of thinking and analyzing situations at incredible speeds, usually at 0.1 seconds, and can process immense amounts of information instantaneously, making it difficult for Anya to read his mind at certain points. On such occasions, she has been seen to become mildly woozy, which would typically only occur if she was in the midst of a crowd and being exposed to many people's thoughts simultaneously. Twilight repeatedly displays ingenuity in combat, using flour as a smokescreen while fighting against a gang and identifying a fake ID with no trouble. He can also intuitively read a person's body language and movements, as he was able to instantly recognize a purse thief in disguise by observing his walking pattern. He is also capable of convincingly playing the part of a licensed medical doctor, with all of his co-workers and patients not only believing in his persona but considering him to be exceptionally capable. This is in spite of the fact that he has, presumably, not attended medical school. In addition to his impeccable intelligence, Loid has demonstrated to be an exceptional strategist and tactician, being able to strategize and develop complex actions and plan ahead in advance. This is demonstrated during the Eden Academy interview where he packed extra clothing in anticipation of them being dirtied or torn apart during the examination. He also wore a bulletproof vest in an underground tennis tournament and was instantly able to adapt to their various traps. Loid was even able to come up with several options to infiltrate the Imperial Scholar mixers' security in order to meet with Donovan Desmond and carefully revise the possibilities and consequences on each one. He's also an expert in lying and possesses incredibly fluent deception skills, being able to trick scientists into thinking he had stolen the Gerrulimus, luring them into locating and opening the locker containing the serum. Trap Mastery: Loid demonstrates remarkable proficiency in devising and implementing highly effective traps that can immobilize enemies and help him gain the advantage when going against multiple foes. Notably, he possesses the skill to conceal these traps to such a degree that even the SSS, despite thoroughly surveying the terrain, remains unaware of their existence. His ability to hide traps with such precision adds an element of surprise and advantage to his tactical approach. Even as a child, he showed a level of ingenuity in the war games he played with his friends, putting together a bucket trap and a rubber band gun to quickly turn around a situation where his side was losing. He would later use the same tactic when fighting in the war. Master of Disguise: Twilight has immaculate stealth and is a master of disguise, with his ability to seamlessly pass off as other people with different body types and characteristics, even down to their voices. Since he was a child, Twilight himself has even admitted that he tends to get into roles he plays, to the point that one of his friends pointed out his intensity when they played war games. Later, as a spy, Twilight has utilized this ability in countless missions; as long as he has enough intel on the individual, like watching old home videos of them, he can pull off a believable impersonation. His skill is such that Ostanian Intelligence does not have the first clue as to what he actually looks like, in spite of numerous agents of theirs knowing for certain that they have encountered him. Loid can also do the same for others, creating costumes for Franky Franklin and Fiona so they can pose as SSS agents, in one case even creating a male disguise for Fiona. Loid was even able to pull off the part of a sumo wrestler in the Far East, in spite of the fact that he has nowhere near the girth required to be one. With his disguises, Twilight has always been able to evade capture from his enemies. In rare instances, he has been close to being cornered due to the enemy having more intel and thought ahead of him or outside factors, but was able to escape due to his quick thinking. Enhanced Speed and Agility: Twilight is phenomenally athletic and deft. He is fast enough to take down multiple people without much trouble, can escape a trained dog by performing various parkour maneuvers, and agile enough to leap from a tall bridge and pounce on a purse thief without being impacted by the landing. He is also capable of performing several evasive movements to avoid rubber bullets fired from multiple angles while playing tennis in an underground tournament and demonstrated the ability to jump higher than a normal human should be able to during this event. He also demonstrated an extraordinary level of acrobatics during the end of the game. Even upon being launched across the bar after receiving a full-blown kick from a flustered Yor, Loid was able to quickly recover and efficiently land on his feet, though he lost consciousness a few moments later. Enhanced Senses: Twilight has incredibly sharp senses and is acutely aware of his surroundings. He was able to effortlessly find Anya in their hide-and-seek game and could sense when he was being observed by the faculty members of a prestigious academy, as well as pinpoint their locations and know the intent behind their observation. He was also able to spot the tiny WISE symbol from far away on a cluttered wall and detect a colorless, odorless gas. He instantly spotted Anya and Franky in disguises spying on his date with Yor. He can also spot listening devices with ease and was able to distinct the suspicious-looking assassins from the large crowd. Twilight is even able to infer the situation of a person by the sound of their footsteps. Enhanced Strength: Twilight has impressive strength, being able to gracefully pull an obese child stuck in a gutter with just one arm over his head and land him on his feet, shatter a solid wooden table with a single punch, rally shots from a jet-powered racket, and tear off a clock containing a bomb from the post to later throw it far from a cruise ship and into the sea. His strength is even significant enough to move an entire dumpster in front of his former apartment to barricade the door by himself. Enhanced Durability and Endurance: Twilight is durable enough to endure a car crash and still be fine enough to go to a party, albeit bleeding and mildly concussed. Additionally, he was capable of withstanding multiple punches and kicks from an intoxicated Yor, whose blows have left full-grown adults unconscious and seriously injured, and which once knocked a speeding car off course. Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Twilight is an exceptionally well-trained spy in unarmed combat, capable of dispatching a group of armed thugs and even fellow trained WISE spies by himself. Even more impressive is his ability to hold his own against Yor despite her seemingly superhuman strength. Although she was intoxicated at the time and presumably not at her full capability to fight, neither did Loid make any attempt to harm her. He merely blocked and avoided her attacks until she passed out, after which he emerged with only a small cut on his cheek. In multiple instances, Loid has demonstrated to be very resourceful and inventive while in action, using any object as an effective tool or an offensive weapon such as canned food, pipes, and even his own belt. Expert Marksman: Twilight's main weapon is a handgun, which he demonstrates great accuracy and physical coordination in using. He can shoot three men while fighting off another three in close range. He was also able to shoot off the straps attaching a bomb to a dog while it pounced at him. He was also shown to be able to deliberately shoot a gun out of someone's hand immediately after being shot in the arm himself. Vehicular Expertise: Twilight has shown to be an expert in operating various kinds of transportational vehicles, being able to pilot them with refined proficiency. He's capable of driving automotives such as cars and small vans and can skillfully navigate them during high-speed chases as shown during his mission in retrieving the stolen art pieces. Twilight has even revealed his capability in piloting aircrafts. Provided by WISE upon his request, he used a plane to take the family and Franky to the castle he rented for Anya in order to celebrate her admission into Eden Academy. Master Polymath: Twilight has demonstrated a borderline superhuman ability to master essentially any skill in an extremely short time span. This includes lockpicking, basic forgery, lip reading, bomb defusing, and military dog training. He can also do basic household chores such as sewing and, particularly, cooking. When partaking in a tennis competition with only a short period of practice, his performance was decisively superior to that of numerous professional players. During another mission, he also managed to convincingly play the part of a professional sumo wrestler, which would have been impossible without being able to imitate that particular skill set. This ability also extends to leisure activities that he has presumably never previously partaken in, such as horseback riding with Anya, surfing, and building absurdly large and detailed sandcastles. In order to help Anya study, he even once drew and voice-acted a cartoon indistinguishable from her Bondman show after having simply "studied the show's art and composition style." Unfortunately, while the cartoon itself was impeccably crafted, the incorporation of Anya's study material made it too complicated for her to follow. Alcohol Tolerance: Twilight's spy training has enabled him to develop a high level of tolerance to alcohol. He can intake immense amounts of it without suffering from its notable effects. Because of this, Yuri's attempt to inebriate Loid with the wine he purchased in order to have him expose any secret he's confining has completely backfired as Yuri ended up getting intoxicated instead. Intimidation: Loid is capable of instilling great fear into his targets. During his final shot against the Campbells in their tennis match, he intimidates Carrol with his aura as he slams the ball under him. He is also able to inculcate fear into people with threats and the information he has on them. This was demonstrated when he held Edgar at gunpoint from behind and browbeaten him with the life of his daughter. Once he was also able to intimidate Franky with just one glare. Teaching: Loid is rather proficient in teaching as he was Fiona's former mentor. He trained her to become a formidable and capable secret agent for WISE. Cooking: Twilight is a skilled cook, much to the happiness of the Forger family members. Having once gone undercover as a world-class chef, Loid can cook anything.
