As such, he wields various knightly weapons into battle, though he prefers anything that can pack a punch.

APPEARANCE:

Loden typically wears casual clothing, with his signature item of clothing being a grey jacket, complete with small smiley-face badge, worn over a usually emerald shirt. His hair is dirty blonde, and is unkempt in an almost stylish way. His eyes are amber.

PERSONALITY:

Loden is the joker of the pack. His humour is mostly dry and witty, with a hint of sarcasm, and he often winds up the people around him. His lax attitude is detrimental when he is confronted by danger, but he has the strength - both physical and mental - to power through the dire situations that he seems to find himself in. His vanity (a trait he possesses in spades) often acts as an off-putting front, helping his opponents to underestimate him - and the flirting often distracts people as well.

HISTORY:

*tba*

ABILITIES AND POWERS:

Loden has no powers, and few special abilities. He is very good with people and knowledgeable in social areas, and is skilled with a multitude of different weapons. He is also in good physical shape due to the harsh training one goes through to enter any sort of militaristic profession, and is surprisingly muscular despite appearances. In later life, his knowledge of psychology, as well as his experiences with several revolutionary groups, provide him with a wily cunning that helps him to come up with solutions to problems and make deductions.

QUOTES:

"You're feeling guilty. It's not a nice feeling. Being a regular mortal, I can relate to such feelings."- Loden, talking to Iamos.

"Pssh. They should make me captain of the guard and be done with it already."- Loden.

"Well, that explains why you don't see too many alchemists about. They all killed themselves trying to impersonate Zeus."- Loden, after being told about the risks of transmutation.

“You know, I remember a friend of mine who’d just fill this room that he had with, like, creatures. Like, he’d pick up an insect or something and bring it back with him. And he could sit there for hours, surrounded by stuff I personally found just gross, not caring about anything. Kinda made me realise that everyone has a different definition of peace.”- Loden, proving a point.

APPEARANCES:

• Foes and Heirs
• To Defy Doom
• Full Spectrum

TRIVIA:

• Loden was born a day and a year before his best friend, Iamos.
• Loden is bisexual.
• As with all the other main characters of Foes and Heirs, Loden's name alludes to a colour - green.
• Loden's surname, Adalwin, is Germanic in origin and means "noble friend".
• The yellow smiley-face badge sewn onto Loden's jacket is a reference to Watchmen, where the most recognisable emblem of the series is The Comedian's yellow smiley-face pin.
• Loden is ambidextrous, having been obsessed enough with the concept of dual-wielding when younger that he taught himself how to handle objects equally efficiently in both hands.
