Ness wears a blue shirt with yellow stripes, a brown backpack, blue shorts, red shoes with white socks, and a red baseball cap with a blue bill turned to its side. According to the [[EarthBound Player's Guide]], his cap has his favorite team's logo on it. Ness is implied to be overweight by several NPCs, plus in the game's epilogue a person says Ness has lost weight further implying this. While his original clay model and appearence in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl depict him to be overweight, his American clay model and appearence in [[Super Smash Bros. 4]] and onward depict him as being more slender. | Ness wears a blue shirt with yellow stripes, a brown backpack, blue shorts, red shoes with white socks, and a red baseball cap with a blue bill turned to its side.

Ness lives on a hill in the northern outskirts of the town of Onett along with his family: his mother, father, and his sister Tracy, along with their dog King. Ness appears to have an interest in baseball due to his primary choice of [[weapon]]s being [[baseball bat]]s and his baseball cap having his favorite team logo on it. Ness's [[favorite food]] is steak, it's implied that his family has steak often because of him, as in the ending his mother says that his family hasn't been having steak as often since he left. | |||
In terms of physical appearence, Ness shares many similarities to Ninten, the protagonist of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], although with a few minor differences: Ness's cap is pointed left while Ninten's is pointed right, Ness's hair is rounded whereas Ninten's is more spiky, Ness wears white socks and red shoes while Ninten wears red socks and blue shoes, and Ness carries a backpack which Ninten lacks. Shigesato Itoi confirmed Ness was intentionally designed to be similar to Ninten in appearance to allow the player to choose whether they were the same person or different<ref>[http://yomuka.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/famitsu-06191992/ Weekly Famitsu – June 19, 1992]</ref>. | In terms of physical appearence, Ness shares many similarities to Ninten, the protagonist of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], although with a few minor differences: Ness's cap is pointed left while Ninten's is pointed right, Ness's hair is rounded whereas Ninten's is more spiky, Ness wears white socks and red shoes while Ninten wears red socks and blue shoes, and Ness carries a backpack which Ninten lacks.

Personality wise, little is said about Ness's personality, much with most {{wp|silent protagonist}}s. Ness is shown to be kind and helpful, while also being strong and courageous. Ness is willing to endure any dangerous situation to save the world. | |||
Ness is implied to be close to his home and his family, as implied by how he starts feeling [[homesick]] if he is away from home for long. Outside of Dr. Saturn the only way to cure his homesickness is talking to his mother, implying he is in particular close to his mother<!--The chick does not cure homesickness contrary to popular belief-->. | Ness is implied to be close to his home and his family, as implied by how he starts feeling [[homesick]] if he is away from home for long.

With this knowledge, Ness accompanies Porky and Picky back to their home but is confronted by a Starman Jr, who was sent by Giygas to kill Buzz-Buzz. The Starman Jr. confirms the prophecy before attacking the group. However, it is defeated through Buzz-Buzz's massive PSI powers and Ness's physical attacks. Upon arriving at Porky's house, Buzz-buzz is unceremoniously killed who was mistaken for a dung beetle by Lardna Minch. As he is dying, Buzz-Buzz explains to Ness that he must reach the eight [[Your Sanctuary]] locations and passes on the [[Sound Stone]], a special stone that records the special [[Eight Melodies|melodies]] from each Sanctuary, to Ness and starts him on his quest to save the world. | With this knowledge, Ness accompanies Porky and Picky back to their home but is confronted by a Starman Jr, who was sent by Giygas to kill Buzz-Buzz.

They return to Winters to investigate the deserted lab, and finds clues that point to Giygas's Stonehenge Base nearby. Navigating the base, Ness discovers Dr. Andonuts, Apple Kid, and several residents of Winters held captive in the deepest realms. Ness and the gang find the culprit [[Starman DX]] a henchman of Giygas. They defeat it and free the kidnapped people. Apple Kid points Ness in the direction of the Onett Library, where he returned a book called "Overcoming Shyness". Ness retrieves the book and lends it to the Tendas, who soon become social and help direct Ness to a cave leading to the seventh sanctuary [[Lumine Hall]], where they defeat the [[Electro Specter]] and Ness gains access to Lumine Hall's power. | They return to Winters to investigate the deserted lab, and finds clues that point to Giygas's Stonehenge Base nearby.

[[File:MagicantEarthBound.png|thumb|right|200px|Ness in the realm of his mind, {{eb|Magicant}}.]] | |||
They jump into a hole that deposits them all in the [[Lost Underworld]], a realm where the dinosaurs became wild due to Giygas's influence. They trek through the world and enter a volcanic cavern which leads them to the final Sanctuary location, [[Fire Spring]], where they challenge the [[Carbon Dog]], who later transforms into the [[Diamond Dog]]. They defeat it and Ness receives the Fire Spring's power. Suddenly, Ness falls asleep after hearing the melody and has a vision of his past. He then wakes up in {{eb|Magicant}}, the colorful, dreamy paradise of his mind. Ness encounters everyone he has met in his journey here. He is directed to the Sea of Eden, his central conscience, where he confronts [[Ness's Nightmare]], the last force of evil in his heart. By eliminating any means that Giygas has of controlling him, Ness gains incredible power with the help of the Sound Stone. The last thing he hears is his own voice telling him to head to Saturn Valley. | They jump into a hole that deposits them all in the [[Lost Underworld]], a realm where the dinosaurs became wild due to Giygas's influence.
