Gender: Male Age: 15 Birthday: July 20th Likes: Abnormally sweet things, collecting and fixing trash Dislikes: Spicy food, Sky People, humans who trample on precious things Appearance: He appears as a teenage boy with a lean build, short and spiky light gray hair with black tips. He has large red eyes and deep dark circles. His gaze is particularly sharp; in the Heavens, he was mocked for having 'criminal's eyes,' and even in the Abyss, he has a fierce enough look to intimidate a restaurant owner. He has severe, festering scars on his hands. According to Ludo, these are the result of abuse by his parents in the past, which festered because they were never properly treated. Because they are so badly inflamed even ten years later, he feels significant pain without gloves and seems to have almost no sense of touch in his hands. Since they are unsightly and painful, Ludo rarely takes off his gloves except when changing bandages due to the discharge. Personality: Ludo was physically abused by his parents before being abandoned and raised by his foster father, Regto. Because he was bullied from a very young age for being the son of a murderer, and the only people who were kind to him were Regto and Chiwa, he became emotionally closed off, introverted, and harbored intense anger and helplessness. Even after the gloves stopped his hands from hurting, he felt worthless and empty, often engaging in self-harm like hitting his head against walls. While experiencing things with Regto to fill that void, he felt the value in discarded trash and shed tears. Since then, Ludo takes the trash people throw away and repairs it so it can function again. Even when going to pick up trash to utilize Vitality, his eyes sparkle at the sight of a pile of junk, saying, 'There's so much treasure here.' After being framed for Regto's death and hearing even Chiwa—his only peer friend and first love—call him a murderer, he was exiled to the Abyss. There, Ludo became consumed by anger and obsessed with revenge. Immediately after falling into the Abyss, he expressed a willingness to cooperate with others just to find a way back to the Heavens. However, while working with the Cleaners, he came to recognize them as comrades who reached out to him and saw him as Ludo himself, rather than a tribesman or a Sky Person, for the first time since Regto. Currently, he wants to have a great time with them before getting his revenge. He is fundamentally quiet. In the early parts of the story, he showed a hot-headed or irritable side, making him seem like a typical shonen protagonist, but after settling into a stable life with the Cleaners, he has shown a calmer and more mature side. Also, unlike Enjin, who is skilled in human relationships, Ludo is poor with words and often misunderstood because he cannot fully express his thoughts. He can be quite airheaded at times, often seen with a blank expression. He also tends to get swept up in the atmosphere easily. Vitality: Guardian Series 「Gloves」: 3R - Ability to draw out the value of touched objects Normally, a Giver can only draw out value from objects they personally cherish, but Ludo can theoretically draw out value from any object. In other words, unlike other Givers, he has immense versatility as he is not restricted to personal items. However, at the time of manifestation, due to his psyche and tendencies, he can only use it on things he considers 'trash' or 'broken objects.' His ability involves temporarily turning touched trash into Vitality and then amplifying its inherent value to the maximum. Simply put, it's the 'ability to turn trash into weapons.' However, Ludo cannot handle the full output of the gloves, so using them consecutively causes a physical backlash. Objects used this way are 'consumed' and turn to ash once the battle is over, as they are considered to have served their purpose. It was later revealed to be part of the 'Guardian Series.' - Selection and Concentration (Provisional Name) Normally, Ludo subconsciously perceives the number of objects his 3R ability can act upon as three. Because of this perception, the 3R resources used to transform objects are only 1/3 each. However, while becoming agitated during the battle with Bundus, his desire to break through led him to concentrate his power into a nail gun, allowing him to reduce the number of targets to one while massively strengthening that single object. - Pain Relief A self-activating effect of the 3R equipment. It is said that the pain in both hands that has plagued Ludo since childhood is barely felt while he is wearing the gloves. Traits: He doesn't know how to make a smiling face. / He tends to have trouble sleeping.
