Laios Touden- Dungeon Meshi

Appearance - Laios is a Tall-man with short blond hair and light gold eyes. He prefers to keep his hair short and be clean shaven in order to look less like his estranged father. His outfit while dungeon-crawling is a set of silver plate armour that reaches his mid-thighs with a belt around his waist. He also wears a pair of silver gauntlets, a white shirt under his armor, silver knee guards, and simple brown boots. Build - He is shown to have a meatier build, most likely due to his diet which consists of protein in order to survive longer without food in the dungeon, though he still has obvious muscles Personality - Despite being looked down on by most characters, Laios is an incredibly strong fighter and the leader of the party. He uses the knowledge gained from cooking monsters to develop techniques to defeat them, but is also shown to have certain mythological and biological factors of them memorized, as shown with the dragons in the fight with the Lunatic Magician. He is a very calm and gentle person but gets very passionate when he talks about monsters, which irritates most of the people around him. He tends to speak very quickly when excited and makes animated hand gestures as well as facial expressions, a complete 180 from his usual demeanor. He is shown to be much more interested in monsters than people as he couldn't remember every coming across Kabru's group after running into their corpses again until he saw their Kobold member. As an adventurer and leader he is incredibly talented and effective. Apart from his ability to keep calm under pressure, issue orders and is quick on his feet he is exceptionally observant and above all else smart; when the group is attacked by living armors he is the only one that notices that their odd behavior goes against what is written about them and is quickly able to deduce that they are not in fact suits of armor controlled by a magic user but an actual living organism that lays eggs. He is able to deduce whether something is a threat or not based on their footsteps and is able to quickly formulate plans and strategies to defeat monsters and keep his group safe. He is also shown to care greatly about his teammates prioritizing their safety and has no issue abandoning treasures or prioritizing their safety over rewards. Though he's intelligent and passionate when it comes to monsters, as well as talented with combat, he falters in most situations outside of the dungeon. He's shown to struggle with other people, missing social cues, being overly blunt, and doesn't seem to understand how things he says could be taken such as trying to compliment Marcille's half-blood nature by comparing her to a mule or remarking how if Falin hadn't been eaten by the dragon they would never have the good fortune of trying Holy Water Sorbet, which often leads to arguments with others. Falin appears to be the one person who truly understands what Laios is saying and is unbothered by his eccentricities, even sharing in them; After offending the party with his comment about being lucky that Falin got eaten as they had the opportunity to try a special monster sorbet because of it, he notes that Falin would undoubtedly agree with him understanding that he meant it in a an innocent "might as well try to find the positive in anything" sort of way. Throughout his life he has shown to have trouble fitting in with people wherever he goes, being unable to understand them to the point where he develops a slight hatred of them. The Golden Lion notes that a part of his fascination with monsters is their power over humans, claiming as a child he wished that monsters would attack his village leaving only Falin and him alive. Many note in general he seems odd due to the fact that shows no interest in fame, fortune or any human motivations in exploring the dungeon like other adventurers. He is shown to be a simple man who needs very little. Despite having good intentions and seeing most people as his friends, those same people are uncomfortable around Laios and see him as someone who has the potential to become "evil" due to not understanding him. They are often unsettled by his reverence and adoration of monsters, dispassionate response to people and violence and interpret many of his blunt responses as alarming as he often unintentionally says things that can be taken as borderline sociopathic. They often fail to realize that, while awkward, Laios does in fact care about and consider other people's emotions and safety to the point where he puts their lives above his own. Though this struggle persists throughout the show, he stays extremely friendly and accepting towards others, even if they do not do the same for him, being quick to forge friendships with other groups and even orcs. Possibly due to his indifference towards most living things other than monsters, he doesn't really see a difference between himself and other races, including the orcs. Despite his odd love of monsters and social awkwardness he is by no means naive, he is well aware of the dangers monsters pose and is extremely wary of them, even more-so than other "normal" adventurers; when Senshi introduces the group to the Kelpie Anne who he claims is safe and a friend of his, Laios is adamant that it would be better to kill the creature citing that it cannot possibly have good intentions. At the same time he is savvy enough to not try and kill it against Senshi's wishes and seriously offend the Dwarf instead letting Senshi ride the Kelpie and rescue him when things inevitably turn south. Abilities - Laios is skilled in swordsmanship, knows simple magic, and is very knowledgeable when it comes to monsters. Despite Laios being a versatile leader, he has extremely poor people skills that hold him back. He's able to do an amazing impression of a dog, which is very effective when threatening monsters, though a bit weird to see. Ever since his childhood, Laios has been drawing monsters from his The Dungeon Gourmet Guide over and over, because of this he's become quite talented when it comes to drawing monsters. His sword, Kensuke, is able to sense danger and alert Laios when troubles nearby, as well as move and grab things as shown later in the series
