===Personality and other characteristics===
Lucas lives in the southern portion of Tazmily Village with his twin brother Claus, father Flint, mother Hinawa, and their dog Boney. Lucas is the younger twin brother and thus is the youngest in his family. His favorite food is Omelets. He is close with his family, primarily, although he does know the other villagers fairly well. He also loves his dog, [[Boney]], and goes out playing and taking walks with him often. Additionally he's also a late riser as shown in the [[prologue]].

He also loves his dog, [[Boney]], and goes out playing and taking walks with him often. Additionally he's also a late riser as shown in the [[prologue]].


Lucas's personality differs depending on the part of the game. At the beginning of the game, Lucas is shown to be a kind and honest boy, although he is also the more timid of the twins. He is seen as being shy and coddled, sometimes shown to be nervous at times, but despite this he enjoys to play.  
Compared to his energetic brother [[Claus]], Lucas's personality is more laid-back. He is a kind and honest boy, which is noted by [[Alec]] to be how [[Flint]] had raised him. He is also the more timid of the twins. He is seen as being shy and coddled, sometimes shown to be nervous at times, but despite this he enjoys to play.  


During the events of [[Chapter 1]], Lucas is also shown to be weak and very emotional. After the death of Hinawa and disappearance of Claus, Lucas is visibly distraught, and struggles to cope with the losses that he's so abruptly had to endure, to the point where he earns the reputation of being a "crybaby". Duster describes Lucas's feelings as if "his poor little heart is about to break in two". Lucas becomes very shut in, refusing to leave his home after Hinawa's funeral and being unable to sleep. In [[Chapter 2]], he's shown to struggle with guilt due to the disappearance of Claus, as he wishes he had gone with him. At the end of [[Chapter 3]], Lucas finally shows his strength when he hurries to rescue [[Kumatora]], [[Salsa]] and [[Wess]] from the [[Pigmasks]] by calling a [[Drago]] to smash their tanks. He learns about the current situation of Tazmily Village, which combined with the losses he endured, he begins to become stronger and mature.
Lucas, however, is also shown to be weak and very emotional during the events of [[Chapter 1]]. Lucas is visibly the most heartbroken after the death of Hinawa to the point where he earned the reputation of being a "crybaby". Lucas began to struggle with guilt after being lectured by Alec for letting Claud go alone into the mountains to avenge Hinawa. Throughout the following chapters, Lucas becomes very shut in, refusing to leave his home after Hinawa's funeral and Claus's disappearance, being unable to sleep. At the end of [[Chapter 3]], Lucas finally shows his strength when he hurries to rescue [[Kumatora]], [[Salsa]] and [[Wess]] from the [[Pigmasks]] by calling a [[Drago]] to smash their tanks. He learns about the current situation of Tazmily Village, which combined with the losses he endured, he begins to become stronger and mature.


When Lucas has grown up three years later, his personality is different. He is strong, determined, and resourceful, however he is still kind and cares for his family and townsfolk. He still occasionally visits Hinawa's grave, which shows he still misses her, and this is further implemented in [[Chapter 6]] where he tries to reach Hinawa in the sunflower field. He is also somewhat rebellious, as during the three years he refuses to buy a [[Happy Box]]. Lucas also shows self-esteem, as a few residents of Tazmily treat him crudely due to his refusal to buy a Happy Box, however Lucas doesn't let this get the better of him. Lucas admits to Kumatora in [[Chapter 4]] that he still wants to become stronger. Following this, he teams up with [[Duster]] and Kumatora and bravely pursues any task that comes his way, no matter how frightening it is.

He still occasionally visits Hinawa's grave, which shows he still misses her, and this is further implemented in [[Chapter 6]] where he tries to reach Hinawa in the sunflower field. Lucas's self-esteem is shown to have grown as he is one of the few resudents who refuses to purchase a [[Happy Box]] due to his awareness of the current situation, and pays no attention to several residents who treat him unfavorably due to his refusal. Lucas, however, admits to Kumatora in [[Chapter 4]] that he still wants to become stronger. Throughout the rest of the game, several of his friends take notice of his personality growth and describe that he is not the same as he was three years ago, which is especially apparent in the {{m3|Saturn Valley}} coffee scene which shows that Lucas has grown strong enough to help those he otherwise couldn't in the past.


Lucas is described as becoming "more and more gallant" throughout the remaining chapters. [[Nippolyte]] even claims that Lucas has "grown so strong that Flint doesn't need to worry anymore", and has "grown up to be a truly good lad.".
However Lucas still displays glimpses of himself from prior to Chapter 4. He still shows his love for his family, and is still seen to become emotional, as he is stated to want to cry during the final battle with the brainwashed Claus. Nevertheless Lucas has still became a kind, resilient, and brave boy and fights through the odds up to the very end.

According to an interview by Shigesato Itoi, both Lucas and [[Claus]] are named after the twins from the novel called Le Grand Cashier by Agota Kristof. <ref>http://starmen.net/eb64/interviews/5.php</ref>

In the game's [[prologue]], Lucas is visiting his grandfather, [[Alec]], with his family. He enjoyed the visit a lot, often playing outside in the fresh mountain air with his [[Claus|twin brother]] and the [[Drago]]s. However, in the [[Chapter 1|next chapter]], he and his family get lost in the burning [[Sunshine Forest]], and his [[Hinawa|mother]] ends up getting attacked and killed by a [[Chimera|reconstructed]] Drago. Lucas and Claus's lives were spared, instead getting pushed into the river and later washing up on the shore and being found by some of the villagers. However, their behavior changed quite a bit with this incident; Lucas became even more shut-in and crying a lot more than usual, while Claus went to avenge his mother and took a knife to slay the Drago. Claus was unsuccessful, however, and ended up getting severely injured and lost in the mountains. Lucas's father, [[Flint]], was struck very hard by both of these tragedies and ended up neglecting Lucas altogether, constantly mourning Hinawa at her grave and searching for Claus in the mountains.

In [[Chapter 4]], Lucas sets out with his dog to investigate the mysterious bassist, who is apparently an amnesiac [[Duster]], at [[Club Titiboo]]. On the way there, he met a [[Magypsy]] named [[Ionia]], who taught him [[PSI|psychic powers]]. He then encounters [[Kumatora]] at the club, seeing her for the first time in three years. She discusses the various things that have happened over the past three years, and they both come to the conclusion that they need to become stronger and try to stop the [[Pigmask Army]]. They both also get Duster to come along with them on their journey, and also search for the lost [[Egg of Light]].

Later, in [[Chapter 5]], Lucas chases a malfunctioning Clayman to retrieve the [[Egg of Light]] Duster hid inside of it. Later at the warehouse, he is repeatedly mistaken for the Pigmask Army's commander, the [[Masked Man]]. He is given a special uniform to wear, then continues to chase the Clayman down the [[Highway]]. After retrieving the Egg, his disguise gave him the advantage of being able to invade [[Thunder Tower]] to take down the generator causing the lightning strikes to the village. However, destroying the generator also resulted in the destruction of the tower, and while him and his friends used [[Rope Snake]] to cling onto a nearby aircraft that was originally brought there for [[Fassad]]'s safety, Rope Snake couldn't hold on well enough and all of them fell in different locations on the island, being separated once again.

Lucas is also a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. games starting with [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Originally Lucas was intended to debut in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] (replacing {{SSB|Ness}} in the process), however due to the cancellation of ''EarthBound 64'', Ness was kept instead. He is a default character in Brawl, a [[smashwiki:Downloadable content (SSB4)|downloadable character]] in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]] and an unlockable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].

Like Ness, Lucas is a middleweight fighter who has slow ground speed and fast air speed, however his ground movement is slightly faster than Ness. He shares similar {{sw|Special moves}} with Ness but is otherwise a unique character. Lucas and Ness both have PK Fire, PK Thunder, and PSI Magnet in their movesets, however they are vastly different. Lucas's PK Fire hits once instead of multi-hits, PK Thunder multi-hits opponents and travels farther than Ness, and PSI Magnet is in front of Lucas but has a hurtbox upon release. Lucas's side smash is also very similar to Ness (however he uses a stick instead of a baseball bat), and PK Freeze behaves similarly to PK Flash except it freezes opponents. Lucas and Ness share a Final Smash, PK Starstorm. Aside from this, Ness and Lucas's movesets are entirely different. Lucas uses [[Duster]]'s [[Rope Snake]] as his grab, giving him a long range grab. It can also be used as a tether recovery.

Lucas's Up Smash, PK Smash Geyser, resembles his animation for pulling one of the Seven Needles, something which he actually does for one of his victory animations. Additionally, Lucas's stage intro has him enter atop a [[Mr. Saturn]] coffee table, and [[Kumatora]] and [[Boney]] are seen helping him for his Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
