Roger Smith

Roger Smith, like other people like Captain Nemo, Shinobu and others, came from the Sigma dimension, but from a special place called Paradigm City.

## Appearance

Roger is a tall man with black eyes and well-groomed black hair. His usual attire consists of a black suit with white buttons and a white collar, black gloves, black pants, and black shoes.

## Personality

Roger is a very strict and methodical man, having a very clear set of rules that dictate every aspect of his daily life, from how people should behave in his home to how he does his job. Among them are that only young women can enter his house without any conditions, he must wear black if they want to live in his house, he does not carry weapons (although he will use them for non-lethal purposes), and he uses force only as a last resort. However, his most important rule of all is that no one is allowed to touch his desk under any circumstances. He will negotiate anything for anyone, but he is a professional and expects the parties to behave professionally as well. Otherwise, he insists they leave.

Despite his professional attitude during missions, Roger appears as a very arrogant, witty, sarcastic and seemingly carefree person, almost to the point of being catty. He is also quite lazy, preferring to sleep long before sunrise, and gets very annoyed when Dorothy wakes him up with her piano playing.

Ultimately, Roger values logic almost above all other qualities and hates feeling out of control, either with his emotions or with any situation he finds himself in. Thus, during negotiations, he maintains a calm, collected, and pleasant attitude as much as he can. However, as the series progresses, many of these traits of his character are smoothed out and he begins to display a much more compassionate and open-minded attitude, learning to deal with emotional problems and people instead of simply ignoring them.

Initially, Roger didn't particularly care about uncovering the mystery of Paradigm City or why exactly everyone lost their memories forty years ago. His argument is that humans are adaptable creatures who learn to make do with what they have, and there are some things that humanity is better off not knowing. However, over time, he becomes more and more determined to seek the truth, especially the truth about himself, such as why he can pilot the Big O. This often puts him in conflict with Alex Rosewater, who often seeks the same thing.

## Story

Despite the fact that he was a victim of the Change of Concept, he was not affected by memory erasure, as was Gilliam, he remembers where he was from and was able to tell what he remembers. He also mentioned that he is from Paradigm City, from the city where amnesia occurred 40 years ago.

Later Roger admitted that "his life was just boring" and that he was adopted by a wealthy adoptive family. Roger has a vision involving a woman whom Roger calls "Mom", which is interrupted one day by Dorothy; It is unclear whether she is an adoptive or biological mother. There are also photographs of a young Roger with his father and mother figures, although it is unclear whether they are his biological or adoptive parents. He was educated at a private academy/school under the auspices of an unknown sponsor.

Roger eventually joined the military police. It was during this time that he developed a relationship with Dastun. He eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant. For some "arbitrary" reason, he decided to resign from the Military Police. It is implied that he resigned because he believed that the Paradigm Corporation did not care about public safety.

For a long time he was a negotiator, investigating the case of what happened 40 years ago, but in the end he was brought into another dimension, where he met people unfamiliar to him, including Hibiki Tokai, who claimed that eternal warriors were being fought on earth and there is no developed technology there. So he fought on the side of the Alliance until Kane offered to return to his home dimension and finish the investigation.
