His casual attire.
Psychological
Personality: An energetic man with a big heart. He is cheerful, generous, kind-hearted, and actually hates fighting. He is well respected among his comrades as long as it doesn't involve directions. He is courageous in the face of danger and most especially when his friends are in trouble, but when given time to think about the danger he is truly in, he usually becomes a little more hesitant. However, he is always willing to put his life on the line for the sake of justice.

Weapons/Abilities {Unfinished; some omitted}
Special note: Psychological weakness
Laguna is actually a pretty paranoid person. Having been through so much during his 44 years of life, he's come to be happy at the good but wary at the bad, sometimes to odd extremes. One of these extremes involves political intrigue; he knows/believes tyrants don't like it when there's a ruler/president/etc who has survived because they could rally the survivors against said tyrant once more. Because he was the president of Esthar he thinks the title could cause him trouble. Because of this he tends to avoid giving his last name and he's always careful with what he says, making sure to avoid telling people where he hails from or why he's so well-equipped in both finances (funds from Esthar that survived that he usually uses for Magitek, choosing instead to live in a shoddy home with a big hidden basement) and weapons.
History
Laguna hails from a small city of no consequence. At a young age he decided that things needed a change and so he moved to a larger city to join the military, despite his original desire to become a journalist. Laguna was a simple soldier and during one battle he was almost killed and was taken into a small village where he ended up falling in love. Forced to leave the woman he loved to go on a rescue mission, he would never see her again and would never know that he was a father. After the conflict, the people asked him to become their president because of his wisdom and bravery during the battles. Laguna was now at the seat of power in a country that at one point thrived with a technology unseen by those from places like Cornelia.
Even before Laguna was president, Esthar had chosen to side with Cosmos. Eventually however, the forces of Chaos and came to Eshtar's doorstep and Laguna was forced to make the decision of whether to surrender or fight. Before the government could come to a set decision the forces of darkness attacked the city, driving the technology into the ground and destroying the city.
Escaping with his life, his weapons and the plans to some of their technology, Laguna fled the remnants of his home and joined the war to help be rid of the monsters who destroyed his country. When Cosmos was defeated he settled in Cornelia under the guise of an inventor, using some of his presidential funds to get a home and workshop as well as the magicite necessary to change his weapons so that they would stick out less in the war-torn world.
People from around know him as "The man with the machines", some even looking at him skeptically as though he's nothing but a madman who might incur the wrath of the Ten. Laguna shrugs the accusations off, living day-to-day in the hopes that someday he'll be able to fight on behalf of Cosmos and restore Esthar to its former glory. With that goal in mind Laguna has even made the plans for a ship that somewhat resembles one of his weapons; a majestic (in his opinion) vessel that he wishes to dub Ragnarok to assist in his recreation of Esthar.
Always a dreamer, Laguna still wishes to become a journalist full-time so he frequently does freelance writing that includes stories about the kingdom he now resides in and tales for children.
Still, if Cosmos' forces come to call one can expect the silly inventor to be on the front lines ready to help restore glory to a better ruler.
