Description
Laine Brick is the chief of the Solar System District station of ēlDLIVE, the intergalactic police force that forms the central setting of the anime ēlDLIVE. He appears as a medium-built man who looks to be in his late twenties, with short gray hair and purple eyes. He is typically seen wearing a blazer over a necktie, along with gauntlets and boots, and he sports an eyepatch over one eye, which contributes to his distinctive appearance. Among the many alien officers in ēlDLIVE, Laine stands out for his human-like appearance.
Before joining ēlDLIVE, Laine lived a former life as a pirate, though the details of that past are not extensively explored in the story. Despite this background, he becomes a symbolic and trustworthy figure within the organization, known for his calm and welcoming demeanor. His personality is approachable and genial; he is often seen smiling and carries himself with an air of competence and authority. He has a fondness for Earth food, particularly dango, and he sleeps in a yellow cocoon-shaped sleeping bag, a detail that hints at his alien origins or personal habits.
Laine is motivated by a sense of duty to maintain order and protect the solar system. He actively recruits new members for ēlDLIVE, personally inviting the protagonist, Chūta Kokonose, to take the entrance exam after detecting that Chūta meets the requirements to become an officer. This recruitment sets the main plot in motion. As the chief of the Solar System station, Laine oversees all operations in the region and serves as the direct superior to Chūta and his coworker Misuzu Sonokata. His role is primarily that of a leader and mentor, guiding the younger officers and entrusting them with missions.
In terms of key relationships, Laine holds a position of authority over Chūta and Misuzu, but he interacts with them in a supportive and encouraging way. His relationship with Chūta is established from the start as he welcomes the boy into the organization and gives him his first official assignment. Laine also works alongside other station members, such as the medical officer Dr. Love and the security chief Veronica Boroswick, though his direct interactions with them are less highlighted. He is shown to be a dependable figure whom the team can trust.
Laine Brick does not undergo a major character development arc within the anime series; he remains a stable presence from beginning to end. His authority and competence are consistently portrayed, and his backstory as a former pirate is occasionally referenced but not deeply explored. In terms of abilities, Laine is a capable leader and administrator, and he is apparently skilled in combat given his role as a station chief. However, specific powers or techniques, such as the Space Pheromone (SPH) ability used by many ēlDLIVE officers, are not explicitly attributed to him in the available material. His primary value lies in his experience, strategic oversight, and the trust he instills in his subordinates.
